Question

Topping the class academically was certainly an advantage. Studying was a breeze for
Nigel. The reward was certainly incomparable to the little effort that he had to put it. It begin when he was selected to help the teachers in the computer laboratories.
The peak of his school career came not when he topped the school but when he was selected for the nationwide competition. Unlike everyone else, Nigel wanted to join the contest because he liked playing with the Lego sets and making something out of them. Nigel spent the next two months rebuilding the robot. It was during the time that Nigel found out about the prizes for the competition. Its well us auspices competitor. Alicia, from a neighboring school. His early intentions were forgotten. Getting the thousand-dollar prize was more important than anything else. Nigel decided to befriend Alicia. Unaware of his intentions, she told him all about the robot that she had been building for the competition. He even helped her to put the finishing branches to her robot. He was glad with the way things had progressed. His robot looked even better than Alicia’s and it was able to become a ball with its arms, something Alicia had failed to do.
On the day of the competition, he says Alicia. Everything dawned on her the minute she saw him among the competition. She stared at him, puzzled at first, then angry and finally a look of helplessness came over her.
The flashbulbs of the camera exploded in Nigel’s try. The robot bird performed actions so unique and different that the specialist judgments were the same. Nigel was so personal with himself that he did not even notice the girl standing a few feet away from him. Without her, he would never win the competition.

解析這是一篇記敘文。主要講的是一位學(xué)習(xí)優(yōu)異的學(xué)生Nigel 一次有機(jī)會參加全國機(jī)器人大賽，開始時出于愛好，為了一千美元的獎金，別有用心的取得另一位參賽選手Alicia 的信任，獲得她的參賽機(jī)器人秘密，當(dāng)自己成功時卻忘記了該感謝的人。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段最后一句不難得出答案。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第二段第二句可得出答案。出于愛好是他參賽的住處目的。
【小題3】推理判斷題。從全文主要是第二段可得知在她幫助Alicia 過程中是用心不良的，只是想獲取對方的秘密，但又不能暴露自己，只好偽裝到底。
【小題4】推理判斷題。從最后一段作者對成功后的Nigel得意忘形的描寫，以及最后兩句結(jié)尾的評論，可知作者對這種虛偽的人是持委婉批評態(tài)度的。
