Question

Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything—tutors (家庭教師), cards, special learning centers—in short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic (天主教的) school.
After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn’t kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread (鋪開) out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening.
Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity (好奇心). She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns (修女)?”
Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, “No.”
“Well then,” she asked again. “WHAT was it?”
Little Tommy looked at her and said, “Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed (釘) to the plus sign (加號), I knew they weren’t joking.”

解析試題分析：這篇短文主要講述 了Tommy數(shù)學(xué)學(xué)得不好，父母想了所有該用的方法幫他學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)，最后把他送到了天主教的學(xué)校。自那以后一切都改變了， Tommy一到家就是學(xué)習(xí)，什么也不說。最后數(shù)學(xué)得了個A，他母親很好奇這是為什么，Tommy說，在去學(xué)校的第一天，有個人釘十字架，他知道那不是在開玩笑。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從短文中第一段可知父母把Tommy送到天主教的學(xué)校，是想讓他把數(shù)學(xué)學(xué)得更好一些，故選C。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從短文中第二段可知自從Tommy被送到天主教的學(xué)校后，一回到家什么也不說，就直接進(jìn)房間學(xué)習(xí)，故選D。
【小題3】語義猜測題。句意：很快他就開始像之前一樣努力學(xué)習(xí)。A. 用功；B. 捶書；C. 發(fā)泄；D. 振作，根據(jù)句意及選項(xiàng)意思，故選A。
【小題4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從短文中最后第一段可知Tommy說，在去學(xué)校的第一天，有個人釘十字架，他知道那不是在開玩笑，Tommy是害怕被釘住，故選B。
【小題5】歸納總結(jié)題。從整篇短文內(nèi)容來看，Tommy誤解了那個人釘十字架的用意，他很害怕，迫使他努力學(xué)習(xí)，所以有時(shí)誤解可能會是個好事情，故選B。
