Question

I first went to Harrow in the summer term. The school had the biggest swimming pool I had ever seen. It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool. I made quite a habit of this with boys of my own size or less.

One day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel on the side of the pool. He was no bigger than I was, so I thought him a fair game. Coming secretly behind, I pushed him in, holding on to his towel so that it would not get wet, I was surprised to see an angry face come out from the water, and a being of great strength masking its way by face strokes (猛力地劃)to the shore. I fled, but in vain. He overtook me, seized me violently, and threw me into the deepest part of the pool. I soon climbed out on the other side, and found myself surrounded by a crowd of younger boys.” Do you know what you have done?” they said, “It’s Amery; he is in Grade Six. He is champion at gym; he has got his football honor.”

I was frightened and felt ashamed. How could I tell his position when be was wrapped in a bath towel and so small.” He didn’t seem pleased at all, so I added in a most brilliant word,” My father, who is a great man, is also small.” At this be laughed, and after some general words about my rude behavior and how I had better be careful in the future, signified the incident was closed.

Answer 1

【答案】

1.A

2.B

3.D

4.B

【解析】

試題分析：

1.細節(jié)題，第二段第二句He was no bigger than I was.可知，他沒有作者體型大，因此，作者認為可以推他下水。故選A。體型差不多。

2.細節(jié)題，第二段最后一句It’s Amery; he is in Grade Six. He is champion at gym; he has got his football honor.可知Amery是一個很杰出的運動員。

3.細節(jié)推斷題。第三自然段He didn’t seem pleased at all, so I added in a most brilliant word,” My father, who is a great man, is also small.” At this be laughed,可知他看起來不高興，因此作者又說了一些好聽的話，使他笑了。可見，作者是為了使Amery高興起來。

4.判斷題，排除法。第二段提到He overtook me，他趕上了我，可見他比作者跑的快，排除A。第一段最后一句可知作者喜歡和比自己弱小的或是差不多的男孩子開玩笑玩，排除C。從第二段最后一句It’s Amery; he is in Grade Six. Amery是六年級，并非四年級。

考點：記敘文

點評：文章記敘了作者很喜歡去Harrow的那個游泳池玩，在那里可以故意去推一些孩子下水。一次作者將一個很杰出的運動員推下了水，引起了反感。作者從這件事中領悟到了以后要避免這樣的事情再發(fā)生，以后做事要更慎重。文章題目并不難，理解好文意，再進行答題。
