A. he was accused of destroying property B. he was told not to yell at other children C. he was made to do things against his will D. he was blamed for creating an air of tension 1. The boy made trouble for his teacher because _____. (十一) C
细节理解题。题目的意思是：“男孩给老师制造麻烦的原因在于…”。从第六段He told me that the teacher didn’t let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked.这句话得知。老师因为安全原因不让小男孩做他很在行的东西，而让他做他不喜欢的东西。所以这太应该选C：“小男孩被迫做跟他意愿相反的事情。” 2. Why didn’t the author do anything about the boy’s bad behavior at first?
A. She didn’t want to make it worse. B. She didn’t mind the huge mess at all. C. She was tired of shouting and threats. D. She hadn’t thought of a coping strategy. A
细节理解题。 “刚开始的时候作者为什么对小男孩不好的行为什么都不做，置之不理呢？”从第四段“But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed connection, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it.” 可以看出。小男孩只是想惹我生气。而我的目的是要解决问题。所以开始我对小男孩行为置之不理的原因就是不想让事情变得更糟糕。D选项 “She hadn’t thought of a coping strategy”, “她没有想出对策”。是错的，因为文中没有提到这一点。 A. playing games with him
B. giving him a good suggestion
C. describing his teacher’s feelings
D. avoiding making critical remarks
3. The author managed to get the boy to talk to her by ____. D
细节理解题。题目问作者通过做什么使得小男 孩跟他对话。文中第六段第二句I believe that if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed.给出了答案“我相信如果我批评他，那扇慢慢开启的门将会坚实的关闭”。而这句话跟D选项avoiding making critical remarks(避免做批判性的评论)是一样的意思。 4. Why did the boy have tears in his eyes
in the end?
A. He was sorry about his reputation. B. He was regretful about his behavior. C. He was fearful of the author’s warning. D. He was sad for the author’s misunderstanding. B
细节理解题。题目问小男孩在最后为什么 热泪盈眶。用tears 和in the end 搜索，在文章最后一段最后一句Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize.得知“小男孩严重充满泪水，他安静的问我他是否能找他的老师道歉”，说明他已经“对他的行为感到后悔”。A选项He was sorry about his reputation. “他对自己的名声(reputation)感到伤心”，如果不理解reputation这个词的意思是会误选的。 A. A Teacher and a Naughty Boy B. How to Be a Good Teacher C. A Good Tip to Be an Effective Teacher D. Something That Worked with Naughty Children 5. Which would be the best title of the passage? D
主旨大意题。文章的中心段在第一段。后面几段都是给出一个例子去印证作者在第一段所提出的观点，所以这篇文章的题目D概括的最全面。选项A所给范围太广，没有D那么精确到位。 session n. 会议

B. It is important to make an effort. C. It is right to stick to one’s belief.
D. It is enough to do the necessary. D
词义猜测题。理解这个下划线句子的意思，要结合整篇文章的内容，文章后面讲到“This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.”可知作者耍小聪明投机取巧每次只完成自己将要回答的数学题目，于是可猜测出下划线句子暗示的意思是“做必要的就够了”。 A. recite their homework together B. grade their homework themselves C. answer their homework questions orally D. check the answers to their homework questions 2. Usually, Mrs. Totten asked her students to ___. C
细节理解题。本题根据题干很难定位出在文章何处可以寻找到答案线索，所以建议使用排除法。
根据A选项“recite their homework together”定位到第三段中的“which would be recited in class the following day”可知选项中“together”为画蛇添足，A选项错误；根据B选项“grade their homework themselves学生自己给自己的作业打分”定位到第三段中的“our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions我们的分数取决于对家庭作业的口头回答”可知选项曲解了文章的意思，B选项错误；D选项“check the answers to their homework questions”文章中根本没有提到；由此可得出，应选C，另外第三段中根据“our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions”可知C正确。 3. The author could work out which questions
to answer since the teacher always ____.
A. asked questions in a regular way B. walked up and down when asking questions C. chose two or three questions for the students D. requested her students to finish their usual questions A
细节理解题。根据题干可知应该在第五段“it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer”附近寻找答案，联系上文第四段中“from student after student in the order the questions had appeared(按照问题出现的顺序，一个学生接着一个学生点名回答)”可知应选A “asked questions in a regular way老师点名学生回答问题是有一定规律的”。 A. the class didn’t begin as usual B. several students didn’t come to school C. he didn’t try hard to make his estimate D. Mrs. Totten didn’t start from the back of the class 4. The author failed to get the questions he had expected because ____. B
细节理解题。根据题干可知应该在第六段“What I failed”的附近寻找答案，接下来马上出现“several students were absent几个学生缺席了”可知应选B。文章中“absent”跟选项中“didn’t come to school”为同义转换。 A. An Unforgettable Teacher
B. A Future Mathematician C. An Effective Approach
D. A Valuable Lesson 5. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? D
主旨大意题。根据本文的文体为记叙文可知，讲述一个故事一般是为了得出某个经验或教训、表达某些思想或情感等，所以定位到文章最后一段作者的感悟“If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.那一天的学校生活教会了他很多”可知答案为D。 assign vt. 布置；分配
recite vt. 背诵 mathematician n. 数学家
