Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
Kenyon Scudder once told me a story about his friend，Michael.Michael happened to be on a train sitting next to a young man who seemed worried.Finally the young man told Michael that he was a convict (罪犯) returning home from a distant prison.His behavior had brought shame(羞耻)on his family，and they had neither visited him nor written.He hoped，however，that this was only because they were too poor to travel and too busy to write.
When he was set free，he had written to tell them he wanted to go home.To make matters easy for them，however，he had asked them to put up a signal (信号) for him when the train passed their little farm.If the family had forgiven him，they were to put up a white ribbon (丝带) in the big apple tree near the railway.If they didn't want him back，they were to do nothing，and he would stay on the train，and go far away.
As the train neared his hometown his suspense became so great that he was afraid to look out of the window.He asked Michael to watch for the big apple tree.They changed seats.In a minute，Michael put his hand on the young convict's shoulder. “There it is，”he said，his eyes filled with sudden tears.“It's all right.The whole tree is white with ribbons.”
1．For which of the following reasons might the young man be worried?
A．He might not be allowed to go home.
B．He was afraid his family would not remember him.
C．His family hadn't written to him often.
D．His family hadn't visited him for a long time.
答案 A [细节理解题。根据文章第二段可知，此人并不知道他的家人是否能原谅他，因此他很忧虑。]
2．According to the passage，the white ribbon in the big apple tree means________.
A．pleasure B．forgiveness
C．happiness D．education
答案 B [推理判断题。根据第二段中的“If the family had forgiven him，they were to put up a white ribbon in the big apple tree near the railway.”可知，a white ribbon代表着原谅。]
3．The word“suspense”underlined in the last paragraph can best be replaced by________.
A．pain B．interest
C．worry D．happiness
答案 C [词义猜测题。第一段第二句提到“Michael happened to be on a train sitting next to a young man who seemed worried.”，由此可知，此时他的worry增加了。]
4．Why was Michael asked to watch for the apple tree?
A．The young man was afraid that he was refused by his family.
B．The young man's seat was far from the window.
C．The young man was afraid of seeing the white ribbons in the tree.
D．The young man was sure that his family would accept him.
答案 A [细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“As the train neared his hometown his suspense became so great that he was afraid to look out of the window.”可知，他承受不住向窗外看到的事实，因此让Michael代替他看。]
B
Our math test started and I was sitting there and working away quite quickly.I looked around with 15 minutes left，because I had finished and was checking my test.
I noticed something very special!
Mr.Ward was staring right at one of the kids that seemed to be only halfway done with his test.Every test we took，there was always one guy scrambling at the last minute to finish his test.He would turn the pages and you saw blank spot after blank spot.Sometimes I even saw entire pages that were left blank.Mr.Ward did not take his eyes off this kid.It seemed strange to me.For the rest of the test，Mr.Ward watched that kid as he struggled furiously(猛烈地)，flipping papers back and forth and writing furiously and erasing even more furiously.He seemed to use his calculator a lot more than he needed.
After the test was finished，Mr.Ward gave his end of the year speech，basically along the lines of good luck and good job.Then I saw him go to the kid he was watching and tell the kid to go into the hall.
Mr.Ward walked out of the room and went into the hall silently.He closed the door and from that moment on I heard about 4 minutes of Mr.Ward shouting at the kid.He got his test papers torn up and a zero for the end of the year exam and also failed for the term and had to take summer school.
That was the first and the last time that I had seen Mr.Ward ever yell like that.Obviously the guy had written his answers inside the sleeve(外壳)of the calculator and every time he was “using his calculator，” he was really looking at the formulas(公式)and other information he had written inside of the sleeve，which was all in vain because Mr.Ward spotted it a mile away.
5．From this passage we know that________.
A．Mr.Ward disliked his students
B．the student Mr.Ward was staring at wasn't good at mathematics at all
C．the student Mr.Ward was noticing was working at his test quickly
D．the author was trying to help the kid out
答案 B [推理题。从第三段我们知道，沃特先生一直盯着那位学生，因他将试卷翻来翻去，又涂又改，卷上又有大量的空白题。显然，这位学生不擅长数学。]
6．The underlined word “lines” in Paragraph 4 refers to________.
A．the math exams
B．the summer school
C．the math papers
D．Mr.Ward's speech at the end of the school year
答案 D [词义猜测题。根据前句“Mr.Ward gave his end of the year speech.”和后面的“good luck and good job.”我们可推知lines在这里指的是沃特先生的年终讲话，在这个讲话中他无非说些good luck或good job之类的话。]
7．The student used his calculator again and again because he________.
A．intended to attract Mr.Ward's attention
B．needed to calculate
C．wanted to glance at what he had hidden inside the sleeve of the calculator
D．felt too frightened to use it properly with Mr.Ward staring at him
答案 C [细节理解题。从最后一段得知：该学生不时地使用计算器，是想偷看他事先写在计算器外壳里的公式之类的东西。]
8．We can infer from this passage that________.
A．Mr.Ward was working as a math teacher for a long time
B．the student was asking the author for help when caught cheating in the exam
C．Mr.Ward regretted not having let the student pass the exam
D．the students were taking their final-term math exam
答案 D [推断题。在文章第四段的第一句话中谈到Mr.Ward在考试完后，作了年终讲话(gave his end of the year speech)，显然学生进行的是期末考试。]
