解析:

Mrs Smith 在一次演讲中,不慎将手表“遗失”,其后校长智查丢失手表。

1. D。因史密斯太太在演讲前,是把表“放”(laid)在桌上。

2. A。从语境看,这里意思是说:我们正要(be about to)…,这时(when)…。请注意其后的 when 一词在这里的含义和作用。

3. B。因为校长是要把孩子们召集起来(call us together),以便叫他们去“找”丢失的手表。

4. C。校长叫孩子们去做一件事或工作(job),即“找手表”。

5. A

6. C。校长知道这表是某个孩子偷去了,但又不知道具体是哪一个, 所以他假装说这表是史密斯太太不慎丢了,叫孩子们帮她找一找。为了使孩子们更加相信,校长又说:这表只是从史密斯太太手腕中不知不觉地“滑”(slips)下去的,并且说这事“以前”(before)也发生过。

7. B。这里 See = Let’s see。

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

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

10. A。因当时孩子们没搞清校长的实际意思,以为是真的要他们从地上去找表,并认为找到表者真的有奖,所以都开始找表,并希望自己有幸(lucky)找到这块手表。

11. D。这里指 Jim 假装弯腰捡(pick up)东西。请注意这句中的 as if(好像)对整篇短文的影响。既然是弯腰好像(as if)捡东西,那么实际就不是真的捡东西,所以他后来交给老师的手表就不是捡的,而是偷的。

12. B / 13. B。此处的语境是:Jim“捡”起手表,然后(the next moment) 就满面笑容地(all smiles)跑到史密斯太太面前,将表交给(turning in)了她。

14. A /15.C。这里请注意 however(但是), in fact(事实上),angry(生气的)等这些关键性的语境词。按照一般常识,你丢了东西,别人捡到东西交给你,你应该表示感谢和高兴。由于本句用了 however 这个词表示转折,所以这里的 Mrs Smith 并不高兴(not...pleased),甚至看起来还很生气(angry)。也正因为有了这样的上文,所以才有这样的下文:Mrs Smith把表拿走“甚至”(even)连谢谢都没说一句。至此我们再联系前文:校长和史密斯太太不是不知道这表是被偷去的,他们用了这样一个计谋,现在使吉姆乖乖地把表交出来。这样一来,前后的意思也就顺理成章了。

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

17. C。这里选D显然不合语境要求,而 A、B 两个答案与后面的不定式 to write... 不能搭配。

18. B。这里的 on 意为“关于”。

19. A。这里的 poor 意为“可怜”,联系上文,这是显然的最佳答案。

20. D。subject 在这里指 the dangers of smoking 这个“主题”。

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?

       A.Student participation is not common in many courses like society and history classes.
