Question

　　When he thought of the past, my grandfather would sometimes show us photographs of himself at school. They were brown and faded, and it was hard to believe that the blurred figure of the little boy in the short trousers and socks could ever have been grandfather. Besides, he wore a cap—all the boys in the photographs wore caps pulled so far forward that half of their faces was obscured. When grandfather asked us to pick him out from the group, we would surely point to the wrong boy.

　　On one such occasion my younger sister, aged six, burst into tears when grandfather proudly guided her finger to the right boy. “How could that boy be you?” she cried, “He should have a beard.” We were, of course, all convinced that grandfathers should have beards, preferably white and bushy, like our own grandfather’s. In fact, we would have been quite ready to argue the point if challenged.

　　“I was a good scholar,” grandfather would say, wagging his beard over the photographs. “I should have been top of the class if I hadn’t had to get up at six every morning to milk the cows and chop the wood, and again when I came home from school.”

　　“But Saturdays? What did you do on Saturdays?”

　　“Saturdays, if it was fine, I’d be out all day in the fields with the men,” replied grandfather. “And if it was wet, I’d be helping my mother with odd jobs round the house. There wasn’t much time for studying. ”

　　We all tried hard to imagine what it would have been like to have been grandfather getting up at crack of dawn and never, obviously, having a moment for himself. It seemed we had learnt something from what grandfather had said about his childhood.

　　1．In the first paragraph of this passage, what the author really tells us is that ________.

　　A．his grandfather used to wear short trousers, socks and a cap as well

　　B．it was difficult to tell which of the boys in the photographs was grandfather

　　C．he didn’t believe grandfather wore a cap pulled forward when he was at school

　　D．it was fun to watch boys in the photographs wearing caps pulled forward

　　2．The author’s sister burst into tears because ________.

　　A．she did not get a chance to pick out grandfather in the photographs

　　B．she was told which was the right boy before she herself could pick him out

　　C．other children did not agree with her that grandfather should have had a beard

　　D．she found grandfather in the photograph did not have a beard

　　3．When grandfather said “I should have been top of the class ...” he meant ________.

　　A．if he had had more time for studying, he would have been the best in his class

　　B．he should have spent more time studying rather than playing ball games

　　C．his school days should not have been so hard and miserable

　　D．he could have never been the best student even if he had studied still harder

　　4．In the last paragraph the author said” We all tried hard to imagine ...”because ________.

　　A．the figures of the boys in the photographs were small and blurred

　　B．the children had never experienced life like that of grandfather

　　C．the photographs grandfather showed them were brown and faded

　　D．grandfather failed to tell them about his childhood in detail

 

Answer 1

答案：B;D;A;B
解析：

1．B 第一段點(diǎn)題句：When grandfather asked us to pick him out from the group，we would surly point to the wring boy． 　　2．D 第二段中“How could that boy be you?” she cried，“He should have a beard．”，一句可以得出答案。 　　3．A 本題答案可由if I hadn’t had to get up at six every mooring to milk the vows and chop the wood，and again when I come home from school句中得出爺爺小時(shí)候很少有時(shí)間學(xué)習(xí)。 　　4．B 爺爺小時(shí)候的經(jīng)歷，孫子輩的人很難體會(huì)到，所以只有imagine了。
