【解析】

試題分析：本文介紹的是格林先生還是一位學(xué)生時候的故事。他經(jīng)常遲到并且不寫作業(yè)，認(rèn)為自己知道很多，其實他什么都不知道。他算錯年紀(jì)，認(rèn)為先看見閃電再聽到打雷是因為人的眼睛長在耳朵前面，認(rèn)為魚之所以在水里游泳是因為他不會行走。

1.根據(jù)原文He was often late for school and didn’t like doing his homework.可知他上學(xué)的時候經(jīng)常不寫作業(yè)。故選C。

2.John10歲的時候他的哥哥是20歲，所以他的哥哥比John大10歲，當(dāng)John15歲的時候，他的哥哥應(yīng)該是25歲，正確答案應(yīng)該是25歲。故選D。

3.根據(jù)原文can’t you see our eyes are in front of our ears?可知格林先生人為先看見閃電再聽到打雷是因為人的眼睛長在耳朵前面。故選B。
