拿岀手机时看到了妈妈发来的信息，偶然看到了爸爸发来的信息。信息是一朵花，花儿使作者想到了爸爸的话，因而使作者想到了给爸爸的礼物。故选C。56.A细节理解题。考查对文章的细节的理解和判断能力。见上一题的解析。57.D词义猜测题。考查上下文中代词的指代。根据第三段中的Itypedthatoutaswellandsearchedonlineforabackgroundtothewordsofit.可知，作者在见到这首诗的同时"也”把它打出来了。这就是EdgarAllanPoe写的诗。故选D。58.D细节理解题。考查对文章细节的理解和判断能力。根据第三段的第二句可知：作者先在电脑上找到这种花，然后在花上打上字。可见其礼物是“配有文字的图片”。59.B推理判断题。考查对文章的言外之意进行复合逻辑的推理判断的能力。作者“诗配花”的礼物，灵感来自于爸爸的信息和小时候对爸爸的印象，这种礼物虽不昂贵，但确实是用心做出来的，爸爸收到礼物时的态度使得作者相信自己送对了礼物。A、C两项都是第三段的细节；D项与原文意思不符。故选B。49.Iwasblind,butIwasashamedofitifitwasknown.Irefusedtouseawhitestickandhatedaskingforhelp・Afterall,Iwasateenagegirl,andIcouldn"tbearpeopletolookatmeandthinkIwasnotlikethem.Imusthavebeenatembledangerontheroads・Comingacrossmewanderingthroughthetraffic,motoristsprobablywouldhavetosteprapidlyontheirbrakes.Apartfromthat,therewereallsortsofdisastersthatusedtooccuronthewaytoandfromwork.Oneevening,IgotoffthebusabouthalfwayhomewhereIhadtochangebuses,andasusualIranintosomething.uTmawfullysorry,”Isaidandsteppedforwardonlytorunintoitagain.Whenithappenedathirdtime,IrealizedIhadbeenapologizingtoalamppost.Thiswasjustoneofthestupidthingsthatconstantlyhappenedtome.SoIcarriedonandfoundthebusstop,whichwasarequeststop,wherethebuswouldn"tstopunlesspassengerswantedtogetonoroff.NooneelsewasthereandIhadtotrytoguessifthebushadarrived・Generallyinthissituation,becauseIhatedshowingIwasblindbyaskingforhelp,Itriedtoguessatthesound.SometimesIwouldstopabiglorryandstandtherefeelingstupidasitdrewaway.Intheend,Iusuallymanagedtoswallowmyprideandasksomeoneatthestopforhelp・Butonthisparticulareveningnoonejoinedmeatthestop;itseemedthateveryonehadsuddenlydecidednottotravelbybus・OfcourseIheardplentyofbusespass,orIthoughtIdid・ButbecauseIhadgivenupstoppingthemforfearofmakingafoolofmyself,Iletthemallgoby.Istoodtherealoneforhalfanhourwithoutstoppingone.ThenIgaveup.Idecidedtowalkontothenextstop.36.Thegirlrefusedtoaskforhelpbecauseshethought.A・shemightberecognizedB・askingforhelplookedsillyC.shewasnormalandindependentD.beingfoundblindwasembarrassing37.Afterthegirlgotoffthebusthatevening，she・A.begantorunB・hitapersonasusualC.hitalamppostbyaccidentD.wascaughtbysomething3&Attherequeststopthatevening,thegirlA.stoppedabiglorryB•stoppedthewrongbusC.madenoattempttostopthebusD.wasnotnoticedbyotherpeople

【要点综述】这是一篇感人的叙述亲情的文章，在这里，父亲是一个乡村送信人，这么多年来他都无私地为219个信箱服务，一直到他退休。但让作者没有料到的是，父亲还在每年圣诞节的时候扮演着圣诞老人的角色，默默地回复着孩子们写给圣诞老人的信。55.C推理判断题。从全文第一段提到的…alwaysanadventure:Therewereanimalstosee…知，作者认为与父亲一起去乡下送信是一件惬意的事情，因为在路上碰到的事情令人激动不已，所以选C项。56.B推理判断题。从文章第四段…Onebusinessmanusedtoleave…theamountcameto$32,000.知，商人认为父亲是一个诚实且值得信赖的人，所以他才会这么相信他，让他把数目很多的钱送往银行，由此知B项为最佳答案。57.D细节理解题。从文章最后几段可以看出，作者没有想到的是，父亲竟然还曾扮演过圣诞老人的角色，给孩子们回信，这大大出乎他的意料。这也可以从倒数第二段Ijustsattherewithtearsinmyeyes.可以看出，我对父亲的这种行为感到非常吃惊和感动，由此选D项。58.C文章结构题。从第四段知，作者在这里举到了几个事例，如帮人送鸡蛋，帮小姑娘支付邮票，甚至帮一个商人去存钱等等，这些都是例子，所以该段举了很多事例来说明父亲平凡中的“伟大”，故选C项。59.D推理判断题。从倒数第二段・・・andtheytoldmehowamazedtheywerethat••-推断知，当时小朋友们对于圣诞老人居然这么了解他们的家庭生活感到非常吃惊，所以答案选D项。60.A主旨大意题。从全文知，本文作者主要讲述了自己的父亲，一个平凡中显现伟大的送信人的故事，所以用A项能较好地概括全文中心，这里用TheMail来突出父亲的工作和他的敬业，故A项最佳。
