10、eir faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone­faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way？”Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This w

11、as the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, i

12、t became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece

13、 of advice: flip(掷)a coin. Headsthe commander, and tailsthe peanuts guy. Ah! Tails，my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk,

14、burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear，“My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartb

15、roken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re­dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. T

16、en months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster's office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my opinion to skip the

17、 sixth grade. Justice is sweet!60What did the author's classmates think about his report?AControversial. BRidiculous.CBoring. DPuzzling.61Why was the author confused about the task?AHe was unfamiliar with American history.BHe followed the advice and flipped a coin.CHe forgot his teacher's in

19、为一个外来移民初入美国学校时，由于对美国历史不了解而闹出的一个笑话，但作者通过努力最后终于提高成绩并实现跳级。60. B推理判断题。根据第一段内容我们知道，由于作者对美国历史的无知，弄混了乔治·华盛顿的身份，所以同学们听了作者写的报告忍不住大笑起来。“bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes.”可知大家觉得这个报告很荒谬。controversial有争议的；ridiculous荒谬的，可笑的；boring无聊的；puzzling迷惑的，不解的。61. A推理判断题。 根据第二段“Since my idea of

20、 history came from an ancient teacher in my home country”可知，作者是从别的国家初到美国，所以对美国历史不了解而闹了笑话。62. D词义猜测题。 根据全文叙述可知，作者是通过投掷硬币来决定的答案，因此犯了常识错误。第三段中“I was totally lost.”说明作者不明就里，所以当其他同学读报告时，作者渴望知道为什么。annoyed 烦恼的；ashamed羞愧的；ready准备好的，情愿的；eager渴望的。63. B细节理解题。 根据第四段“Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my

21、 work for the rest of the school year.”可知作者是通过throw oneself into(积极从事)而实现转变的。所以选B。文中老师并没有给作者机会重做，所以A错误；从祖父那里得到建议是在选择华盛顿身份时，所以C错误；而校长是在作者成绩提高后才接见的，所以D错误。*结束BFor centuries, the bodys blood has been linked closely with the emotions.
