解析:

Mrs Smith 在一次演講中,不慎將手表“遺失”,其后校長智查丟失手表。

1. D。因史密斯太太在演講前,是把表“放”(laid)在桌上。

2. A。從語境看,這里意思是說:我們正要(be about to)…,這時(when)…。請注意其后的 when 一詞在這里的含義和作用。

3. B。因為校長是要把孩子們召集起來(call us together),以便叫他們?nèi)ァ罢摇眮G失的手表。

4. C。校長叫孩子們?nèi)プ鲆患禄蚬ぷ?job),即“找手表”。

5. A

6. C。校長知道這表是某個孩子偷去了,但又不知道具體是哪一個, 所以他假裝說這表是史密斯太太不慎丟了,叫孩子們幫她找一找。為了使孩子們更加相信,校長又說:這表只是從史密斯太太手腕中不知不覺地“滑”(slips)下去的,并且說這事“以前”(before)也發(fā)生過。

7. B。這里 See = Let’s see。

8. C。注意搭配 make sth clear (表明清楚),原句中 it 的是形式賓語,其真正的賓語是后面的(that) the boy who does so will get a useful reward.

9. D。這里的 do so 是指前面提到的 to find it(the watch)。

10. A。因當時孩子們沒搞清校長的實際意思,以為是真的要他們從地上去找表,并認為找到表者真的有獎,所以都開始找表,并希望自己有幸(lucky)找到這塊手表。

11. D。這里指 Jim 假裝彎腰撿(pick up)東西。請注意這句中的 as if(好像)對整篇短文的影響。既然是彎腰好像(as if)撿東西,那么實際就不是真的撿東西,所以他后來交給老師的手表就不是撿的,而是偷的。

12. B / 13. B。此處的語境是:Jim“撿”起手表,然后(the next moment) 就滿面笑容地(all smiles)跑到史密斯太太面前,將表交給(turning in)了她。

14. A /15.C。這里請注意 however(但是), in fact(事實上),angry(生氣的)等這些關鍵性的語境詞。按照一般常識,你丟了東西,別人撿到東西交給你,你應該表示感謝和高興。由于本句用了 however 這個詞表示轉(zhuǎn)折,所以這里的 Mrs Smith 并不高興(not...pleased),甚至看起來還很生氣(angry)。也正因為有了這樣的上文,所以才有這樣的下文:Mrs Smith把表拿走“甚至”(even)連謝謝都沒說一句。至此我們再聯(lián)系前文:校長和史密斯太太不是不知道這表是被偷去的,他們用了這樣一個計謀,現(xiàn)在使吉姆乖乖地把表交出來。這樣一來,前后的意思也就順理成章了。

16. D。注意前文提供的語境:Let’s make it clear the boy who does so will get a useful reward.

17. C。這里選D顯然不合語境要求,而 A、B 兩個答案與后面的不定式 to write... 不能搭配。

18. B。這里的 on 意為“關于”。

19. A。這里的 poor 意為“可憐”,聯(lián)系上文,這是顯然的最佳答案。

20. D。subject 在這里指 the dangers of smoking 這個“主題”。

Student participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student in many courses. Some professors base part of the final grade on the student’s oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role (i.e., listening and taking notes), many courses are organized around classroom discussions, student questions, and informal lectures. In graduate discussions the professor had a “manager” role and the students make presentations and lead discussions. The students do the actual teaching in these discussions.

A professor’s teaching method is another factor that determines the degree and type of student participation. Some professors prefer to control discussions while others prefer to guide the class without controlling it. Many professors encourage students to question their ideas. Students who object to the professor’s point of view should be prepared to prove their positions.

In the teaching of science and mathematics, the controlling mode of instruction is generally traditional, with teachers presenting formal lectures and students taking notes. However, new educational trends have turned up in the humanities and social sciences in the past twenty years. Students in education, society, and history classes, for example, are often required to solve problems in groups, design projects, make presentations, and examine case studies. Since some college or university courses are “practical” rather than theoretical, they pay more attention to “doing” for themselves.

“Participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student” in  ____

       class.

       A.the humanities and social sciences  B.the science and mathematics

       C.the theoretical lessons      D.the strictly controlled courses

       A.has not changed much in the past twenty years

       B.pay attention to students’ studying instead of teachers’ teaching

       C.is much more important than that of science and mathematics

       D.has become more practical than theoretical.

The reason why some professors ask students to make presentations and lead discussions is that __________.

       A.these professors are often not well prepared before class

       B.these professors want to stress “doing”

       C.these professors want to test the students abilities

       D.these professors are not willing to teach theory

Which of the following sentences is true according to the passage?
