試題分析：這篇短文主要講述的是馬上就到假期了，但是在假期前還有期末考試。所有學(xué)生都得在這段時間好好努力復(fù)習(xí)來準(zhǔn)備考試。珍妮由于太拼命了，,每天都很晚才睡覺�？荚嚽耙煌�，姐姐芭芭拉堅持讓她吃一些安眠藥，早早睡覺，并且答應(yīng)明天早晨叫她起床。在藥物的幫助下，珍妮終于睡著了。片刻，她發(fā)現(xiàn)她自己坐在考場里，看著考卷，她發(fā)現(xiàn)自己居然一道都不會。她由于過于擔(dān)心而開始哭泣。她的整個身體在顫抖，劇烈的顫抖使她驚醒。她發(fā)現(xiàn)她自己還在床上而這只不過是一個噩夢。

【1】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章“All the students worked hard for some time. If they didn't pass, they would have to take the exams in September again. Some students failed, but Kate decided not to be one of them. ”的描述可知，A、C、D選項的敘述是錯誤的。而并非所有學(xué)生都會通過考試的敘述是正確的。結(jié)合選項可知應(yīng)選B。

【2】A判斷推理題。根據(jù)短文“ But before that, there was the end of year exams. All the students worked hard for some time. ”的描述可以推知，考試之前需要努力復(fù)習(xí)功課。結(jié)合選項可知應(yīng)A。

【3】D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文“All the students worked hard for some time. If they didn't pass, they would have to take the exams in September again. Some students failed, but Kate decided not to be one of them. She worked hard all day,…”的描述可知，凱特不想考試不及格。結(jié)合選項可知應(yīng)選D。

【4】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文“she was working so hard that her sister was worried about her. She was staying up too late（熬夜）.”的描述可知，芭芭拉堅持讓珍妮服安眠藥是因為珍妮每天都很晚才睡覺，她希望珍妮考試前能夠睡好覺。結(jié)合選項可知應(yīng)C。

【5】B判斷推理題。根據(jù)短文“she was sitting in the examination hall, looking at the paper. She couldn't answer any of the questions. Everyone round her was writing pages and pages. However hard she thought, she couldn't find anything to write about. She kept looking at her watch. Time was running out. There was only one hour left. She started one question, wrote two sentences, gave up and tried another one. With only half an hour left she wrote another two sentences. ”的描述可知，凱特過于擔(dān)心她的考試了，所以作噩夢。結(jié)合選項可知應(yīng)選B。
