2017年吉林高考英語完型填空專題模擬8

In the mid­1950s, I was a somewhat bored early­adolescent male student who believed that doing_any_more_than_necessary_was_wasted_effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment.

In Mrs Totten's eighth­grade maths class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals(小數(shù)).

Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answers to homework questions.

Mrs Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work towards the other end.

Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.

What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs Totten made her way from the beginning of the class, I desperately tried to determine which maths problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn't function.

When Mrs Totten reached my desk, she asked what answer I'd got for problem No. 14. “I…I didn't get anything，” I answered, and my face felt warm.

“Correct，” she said.

It turned out that the correct answer was zero.

What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn't always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third，I would never make it as a mathematician.

If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.

【要點綜述】 經(jīng)過一次做數(shù)學(xué)作業(yè)投機取巧而遭遇尷尬的經(jīng)歷后，作者明白了三個重要的道理。

61. D　句意理解題。作者在文章中提到自己做數(shù)學(xué)作業(yè)投機取巧，只記認為老師會問到自己的問題，因此他認為做好必要的事情就足夠了。

62. C　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段的內(nèi)容可知作者的數(shù)學(xué)老師總是以學(xué)生口頭回答作業(yè)的情況來確定學(xué)生的分數(shù)，因此C項正確。

63. A　推理判斷題。文章第四段提到作者的老師總是按照學(xué)生坐的順序來問問題，因此A項正確。

64. B　細節(jié)理解題。文章第六段提到當(dāng)天有幾個學(xué)生沒有來，因此他的預(yù)定計劃落空了，從而沒有回答出老師的問題。

65. D　主旨大意題。作者講述這堂數(shù)學(xué)課的原因是這堂課給他帶來了有價值的教訓(xùn)，因此D是最佳選項。
