10.Proudly reading my words,I glanced around the room,only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes.Confused,I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher.Having no choice,I slowly raised the report I had slaved over,hoping to hide myself."What could be causing everyone to act this way?"
Quickly,I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task.This was the first real talk I received in my new school.It seemed simple:go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington.Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country,I had never heard of that name before.As I searched the name of this fellow,it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different!One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts,while the other led some sort of army across America.I stared at the screen,wondering which one my teacher meant.I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; flip (擲) a coin.Heads-the commander,and tails-the peanuts guy.Ah!Tails,my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter,George Washington Carver.
Weeks later,standing before this unfriendly mass,I was totally lost.Oh well,I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk,burning to find out what I had done wrong.As a classmate began his report,it all became clear,"My report is on George Washington,the man who started the American Revolution."The whole world became quite!How could I know that she meant that George Washington?
Obviously,my grade was awful.Heartbroken but fearless,I decided to turn this around.I talked to Miss Lancelot,but she insisted:No re-dos; no new grade.I felt that the punishment was not justified,and I believed I deserved a second chance.Consequently,I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year.Ten months later,that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster's office with my grandfather,now having an entirely different conversation.I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade.Justice is sweet!

5.What did the author's classmates think about his report?B
A.Controversial.
B.Ridiculous.
C.Boring.
D.Puzzling.
6.Why was the author confused about the task?A

D.He was new at the school.

A.a(chǎn)nnoyed                      
B.a(chǎn)shamed
C.ready

D.under the guidance of his headmaster.

分析 文章介紹了主人公"我"在完成老師交待的任務(wù)時(shí),對(duì)美國歷史不是很熟悉,介紹的華盛頓這個(gè)人物不是歷史上領(lǐng)導(dǎo)美國革命的華盛頓,而是另外一個(gè)人.在課堂上,讀自己寫的有關(guān)人物的報(bào)告時(shí),引起了同學(xué)的嘲笑,分?jǐn)?shù)也很低,接下來的時(shí)間,主人公"我"努力學(xué)習(xí),并最終取得了好的成績.

解答 5.B  理解推測(cè)題.根據(jù)第一段Proudly reading my words,I glanced around the room,only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes.Confused,I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher.可知我自豪地讀著我寫的文章,我環(huán)視著教室的周圍,同學(xué)們的臉上都強(qiáng)忍著大大的微笑,在他們的眼里都憋出了淚花,更加疑惑的是,我還看見了老師那"石頭般'的繃著的臉.四個(gè)形容詞的意思分別為:.Controversial.有爭議的,有議論的;Ridiculous.荒謬的,可笑的;Boring.令人討厭的,厭煩的;Puzzling 困惑的.由同學(xué)們的笑和老師的表情可知"我"的文章是荒唐可笑的.故選B.
6.A  細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第二自然段I had never heard of that name before.As I searched the name of this fellow,it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different!One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts,while the other led some sort of army across America.I stared at the screen,wondering which one my teacher meant.可知以前,我從未聽說過這個(gè)名字,但查找之后發(fā)現(xiàn)有兩個(gè)人的名字一樣,而又是完全不同的兩個(gè)人,一個(gè)是發(fā)現(xiàn)了花生的數(shù)百種用法的人,一個(gè)是領(lǐng)導(dǎo)了美國的革命,我也不知道,老師指的是哪一個(gè).由此可知,"我"對(duì)美國的歷史是不了解的.故選A.
7.D  詞義理解題.由第三段I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk,burning to find out what I had done wrong.可知我放下我的文章坐在桌子旁邊,急切的找到我犯的錯(cuò)誤.故選D.
8.B  細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)最后一段I felt that the punishment was not justified,and I believed I deserved a second chance.Consequently,I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year.可知我感覺,我受到的懲罰是不公平的,我還應(yīng)該有第二次機(jī)會(huì),剩余時(shí)間我把自己全身心的投入到我的學(xué)習(xí)中.由此可知改變事情的結(jié)果是通過"我"的努力,故選B.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考查學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力.做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確選擇.在做推理判斷題時(shí)不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
