(2025·南京二模改编)The children wanted to give a proper birthday celebration to Mr Perks. The poorly paid station worker was always kind to everyone in the village and never accepted rewards. Moreover, he often fixed broken toys for the children. After a discussion, the children decided to ask villagers for more gifts. Hearing their plan, Mother agreed, but warned, “Remember, true kindness shows respect and won’t make the receiver feel embarrassed.”
Then the children went around the village collecting small gifts for Mr Perks. Each villager remembered his kindness. When they brought the gifts to Mr Perks' little house, his wife cried happily, “This will be Perks' best birthday!”
As Mr Perks came home, the children quickly hid in the wash - house. Then Bobbie realized a big problem—she forgot to put names on each gift! Now Mr Perks might think all the gifts were from the children. It seemed that they had spent all money on him to show off their generosity(慷慨), exactly what Mother had warned them not to do.
Soon they heard the voice of Mr Perks, loud and rather angry. “I won't accept charity!” Then Mr Perks found the children in the wash - house. He rushed to the door and pushed it open hard.
“Come out,” said Mr Perks, “come out and tell me what you mean by it.”
“Oh!” said Phyllis, “I thought you'd be happy.”
“We didn't mean any harm,” said Peter.
“But you did hurt me,” said Mr Perks.
“These aren't just from us,” Peter explained. “The whole village gave them because you've helped everyone!”
“Then why shame me before the whole village?” Mr Perks shouted.
With shaking fingers, Bobbie pulled out the notes they'd prepared. She read them one by one: (1) From Mother: “Only giving some old clothes because Mr Perks has been so kind; I can't do much because we're poor ourselves.” (2) From the Blacksmith: “Made this tool special for a respected man.” (3)...
Mrs Perks cried, “They're not pity gifts, dear. They're thanks.”
After a long silence, Mr Perks' serious look softened. “Well... can't say no to kindness,” he said quietly, “the kind respect of our neighbours is worth having, right?”

【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了孩子们为善良但收入微薄的火车站工人 Perks 先生筹备生日惊喜的故事。
26. B 细节理解题。根据“The poorly paid station worker was always kind to everyone in the village and never accepted rewards.”可知，Perks 先生对村民和孩子都很友善，孩子们想通过庆祝生日回报他的善意。故选 B。
27. C 词义猜测题。根据“Remember, true kindness shows respect and won't make the receiver feel embarrassed.”及下文 Perks 先生最初的感受可知，母亲提醒孩子们“善意需尊重对方，不让接收者感到尴尬”，由此推测此处 embarrassed 对应因施舍或过度慷慨而产生的不适感。故选 C。
28. B 细节理解题。根据“Soon they heard the voice of Mr Perks, loud and rather angry. ‘I won't accept charity!’”可知，Perks 先生将礼物误解为施舍，后文通过读纸条和妻子解释才明白是感谢。故选 B。
29. A 事件排序题。通读全文后可知，正确顺序为：孩子们收集礼物(c)→孩子们躲藏起来(a)→Perks 先生大声质问孩子们(e)→妻子解释(d)→Perks 先生接受了礼物(b)。故选 A。
30. C 标题归纳题。本文通过全村送礼物来表达对 Perks 先生的尊重，选项 C“一次特别的庆祝”最符合文章主题。故选 C。

文章大意
本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了孩子们为善良但收入微薄的火车站工人Perks先生筹备生日惊喜的故事，全村人通过送礼物表达对他的尊重与感谢。
1. 第26题 细节理解题
根据第一段“The poorly paid station worker was always kind to everyone in the village and never accepted rewards. Moreover, he often fixed broken toys for the children.”可知，Perks先生对村民和孩子十分友善，孩子们想通过庆祝生日回报他的善意。故选B。
2. 第27题 词义猜测题
根据母亲的话“Remember, true kindness shows respect and won't make the receiver feel embarrassed.”以及后文Perks先生因误以为礼物是施舍而生气的反应，可推测该词表示“尴尬、不舒服”。A“兴奋的”、B“高兴的”、D“不耐烦的”均不符合语境。故选C。
3. 第28题 细节理解题
根据“Soon they heard the voice of Mr Perks, loud and rather angry. ‘I won't accept charity!’”可知，Perks先生最初将礼物误解为施舍，而非大家的感谢，因此拒绝接受。故选B。
