Question

One day in the eighth grade, I was taking a Math Test on basic trigonometry (三角学). Now for a middle school student, there was nothing basic at all about it. So I had studied for about two hours the night before. After reviewing it for some time, I had started to understand it, so then I closed the book and _________. However, it was not until midnight that I fell asleep. The next day, when I got the test, it might as well have been written in Serbian (which I don’t know how to read). I tried my best to work out the hard problems, but the numbers I came up with were strange. I sat back on my chair and looked for any possible answers, but I could not remember anything or think correctly. I started thinking about my dad coming home from work to find that I failed the test …

“How could you have failed the test? I am certain that nobody else in the whole class got as bad a grade as you did!”

Naturally I didn’t want that to happen. My dad was also really busy at work at present, so I was afraid that this might make him mad. When feeling hopeless, I noticed that my table partner was writing fast on his test. I could see smoke rising up from how fast he was writing. I was attracted to look over at his test, but then the many bad results I had heard about cheating (作弊) came into my mind. I reasoned that if I started cheating now, it would be hard to give up that habit during high school. In the end, I decided not to copy his answers, and got a B- on that test. Even though my dad gave me a hard time about it, it would have been a lot worse if he found out that I had given in and cheated.

A. surprised B. relaxed

C. worried D. excited

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文主要讲述了作者在上八年级的时候的一个数学测验，作者晚上也复习过，觉得自己能够理解，但作者就是不能睡着，但第二填早上作者考的不是很好，这是脑海中想到了如果考试不及格，父亲会怎么样失望，她想到了作弊，但是后来理智告诉他不能有这样的坏习惯。

1. for a middle school student, there was nothing basic at all about it. So I had studied for about two hours the night before可知作者对数学考试很担心。故选C。

2.

3. I was afraid that this might make him mad.可知作者的父亲对她要求很严格。故选C。

4.
