3.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
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 chance to skip the sixth grade.Justice is sweet!

分析 文章介紹了主人公"我"在完成老師交待的任務(wù)時,對美國歷史不是很熟悉,介紹的華盛頓這個人物不是歷史上領(lǐng)導(dǎo)美國革命的華盛頓,而是另外一個人.在課堂上,讀自己寫的有關(guān)人物的報告時,引起了同學(xué)的嘲笑,分數(shù)也很低,接下來的時間,主人公"我"努力學(xué)習,并最終取得了好的成績.
解答 33.A 細節(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,我從未聽說過這個名字,但查找之后發(fā)現(xiàn)有兩個人的名字一樣,而又是完全不同的兩個人,一個是發(fā)現(xiàn)了花生的數(shù)百種用法的人,一個是領(lǐng)導(dǎo)了美國的革命,我也不知道,老師指的是哪一個.由此可知,"我"對美國的歷史是不了解的.故選A.
34.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,急切的想要找到我犯的錯誤.故選D.
35.B 細節(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)該有第二次機會,我把自己全身心的投入到我的學(xué)習中.由此可知改變事情的結(jié)果是通過"我"的努力,故選B.
點評 本文是一個人生感悟類閱讀,題目涉及多道細節(jié)理解題,做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細分析,結(jié)合選項選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù).
