Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】A

【4】D

【5】B

【解析】Bill不喜歡學(xué)習(xí)，數(shù)學(xué)尤其不好，做作業(yè)總是不會，有一天他又遇到了難題，就大聲的哭，想讓父母幫忙。但是他的父母也都不擅長數(shù)學(xué)，為了哄Bill不要再哭，他的爸爸就隨便幫助他做了作業(yè)，沒想到竟然得了A。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文中It's the hardest thing for him to do maths exercises以及Mr Brown said,“But I don't know maths, either．”可知，在Bill的家庭里，他的父母和他都不擅長數(shù)學(xué)。故應(yīng)選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中The boy likes nothing except playing．He doesn't listen to the teachers in class and can't do his homework after class可知，Bill除了玩，什么都不喜歡，在課堂上他不好好聽課，所以下課后他就不會做家庭作業(yè)。由此可知應(yīng)選C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第二段中可知，Bill不會做數(shù)學(xué)作業(yè)，所以他就大聲的哭了，引起了父母的注意，他是想讓父母來幫助他做作業(yè)。因此應(yīng)選A。

【4】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)Mr Brown said,“But I don't know maths, either．”“It doesn't matter,”said his wife．“You'll only coax him out of crying．”可知，Bill的爸爸也不會做數(shù)學(xué)題，但是Bill的媽媽安慰他，他只要哄Bill 不要哭就行了。所以這個短語的意思是哄某人不要哭，故選D。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文的開頭Mr Brown was born in a poor family．He couldn't go to school when he was young可知，Brown先生出生在一個貧窮的家庭里，他小的時候不能上學(xué)。由此可知B是正確的。
