His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to hi

3、s room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening. Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit th

4、e books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity (好奇心). She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns (修女)?”Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, “No. ”“Well then,” she asked again. “WHAT was it?”Li

5、ttle Tommy looked at her and said, “Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed (釘) to the plus sign (加號), I knew they werent joking. ”根據(jù)以上短文內(nèi)容,然后從每題所給的四個選項中選擇最佳選項。1. Why did Tommys parents send him to a catholic school?A. Because he could eat well there. B. Because he could earn mo

6、re about nuns. C. Because his parents wanted him to do better in his math. D. Because his parents didnt want him to learn math any more. 2. Tommys mother felt surprised that his son _.

8、that _. A. teachers should be strict with their studentsB. mistaking (誤解) might do good sometimesC. a catholic school is much better than other onesD. nuns are good at helping children with their math【答案與解析】1. 選C。文章第1段說Tommy數(shù)學學不好,其父母想盡了一切辦法都不奏效,最后將他送進了一所天主教的教會學校。2. 選D。認真閱讀第2段前面幾句話,并注意以下信息:After the

9、first day, little Tommy came homedidnt kiss his mother hellowas hard at workwithout a word. 可知答案應選D。3. 選A。根據(jù)文章大意和Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books這個句子的語境,可知hit the books的意思是“用功”。4. 選B。Tommy學習一直不用功,但自從進了這所catho

10、lic school之后,情況就不一樣了整天都發(fā)狠讀書,結(jié)果數(shù)學考試也得了A。這是為什么呢?文章在最后道出了其原因:Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed (釘) to the plus sign (加號), I knew they werent joking. 由此可知,Tommy是擔心學習不用功會被釘在十字架上。5. 選B。Tommy把the man nailed to the plus sign誤解為“學習不用功的結(jié)果”,從而一改自己原來不好學的不良習慣,很快就把數(shù)學成績趕了上去??梢?,誤解有時也可以起到好

14、ther. David sent a picture of himself: He was a tall, good-looking young man with a big, happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and small things to each other. When Jeans father told her that he was going on a business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let

15、her go with him so that she could give David a surprise for his birthday. She would take him the latest DVD of their favorite rock singer. But when she knocked on Davids door in San Francisco, she found that her special friend was a twelve-year-old boy named Jim!根據(jù)以上短文內(nèi)容,然后從每題所給的四個選項中選擇最佳選項。1. Jean

19、友是一個12歲的小孩時,用了一個感嘆號結(jié)尾,雖然作者沒有直接說Jean感到驚訝,但是我們可以從這個標點符號推斷出她的感覺應該是十分surprised(驚訝的)。4. 選A。本文講述Jean交了個十分投緣的網(wǎng)友,后來卻發(fā)現(xiàn)對方原來只是一個12歲的小男孩。通過這個故事,短文意在告戒人們不要輕易相信Q友,答案選A。A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present.

Paul thought of course he

21、 knew what the boy wanted, but what the boy said surprised him greatly. “I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?” “Oh yes, Id love to,” the boy answered.After a short ride,

22、the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Sir, would you mind driving in front of my house?”Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?”

23、the boy asked. He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled(殘疾的) brother. He sat down on the step and pointed to the car. “There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Ch

29、to give you one just like it”所以 the urchin 希望也能給他弟弟一輛車。3. 選D。The urchin 要 Paul 把車停在他家門前后,立即扶著他殘疾的弟弟出來,讓他看看Paul的車,然后告訴弟弟他想為他做的事,所以他只是想告訴他弟弟他的愿望。4. 選C。The urchin 在坐過 Paul 的車后沒有忘記弟弟,并且承諾也要給弟弟買一輛車,可見他對弟弟有著一份深深的愛。答案選C,而A、B、D三項與文章不符。5. 選C。通讀全文,我們不得不為 The urchin 的行為所感動,他是一個好哥哥。文章就是講述了他這樣的一位好哥哥,C選項最合適。Last
