Question

I had applied for the nuclear（核）submarine(潛艇) program, and Admiral Rickover was interviewing me for the job. It was the first time I met Admiral Rickover, and we sat in a large room by ourselves for more than two hours, and he let me choose any subjects I wished to discuss. Very carefully, I chose those about which I knew most at the time – recent events, seamanship, music, literature, naval tactics(海軍戰(zhàn)術(shù)), electronics, gunnery(射擊學(xué)) – and he began to ask me a lot of questions that were more difficult. Every time after my answers, he soon showed that I knew rather little about the subjects I had chosen.
He always looked right into my eyes, and he never smiled. I was saturated with cold sweat.
Finally, he asked me a question and I thought it was my turn to show myself off. He said, “How did you stand in your class at Georgia Tech before entering Annapolis as a first year student?” I had done very well, and I threw my chest with pride and answered, “Sir, I stood thirty-ninth in a class of 820!” I sat back to wait for the congratulations – which never came. Instead, the question: “Did you do your best?” I started to say, “Yes, sir,” but I remembered who this was, and thought of several of my times at the Academy when I could have learned more about our allies(二戰(zhàn)時(shí)的同盟國(guó)), our enemies, weapons strategy(戰(zhàn)略) and so on, so I finally said, “No, Sir, I didn’t always do my best.”
He looked at me for a long time, and then turned his chair around to end the interview. He asked one final question, which I have never been able to forget – or to answer. He said, “Why not?” I sat there for a while, shaken, and then slowly left the room.

小題2:這是猜測(cè)詞義題。根據(jù)橫線后的with cold sweat 可以看出作者由于緊張而出汗了故選B。
小題3:這是推理理解題。根據(jù)I had done very well, and I threw my chest with pride and answered, “Sir, I stood thirty-ninth in a class of 820!可以看出作者說這句話時(shí)是充滿自信，認(rèn)為自己做的相當(dāng)好了。故選A。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文敘述作者的一次面試經(jīng)歷。在面試過程中作者與面試官“斗智斗勇”，一波三折，讀來使人回味。推理理解題主要測(cè)試考生理解有關(guān)關(guān)系結(jié)構(gòu)并推出結(jié)論的能力，在近幾年的高考中出現(xiàn)的頻率較高。
