Question

【題目】Mr. Shute was born in a poor family. He couldn't go to school when he was young.

Now he's a strong porter (搬運工) and works at a station. He doesn't think he needs to know much about science. His son, Bill, began to go to school last year. The boy likes nothing except playing. He doesn't listen to the teachers in class and can't do his homework after class. It's the hardest thing for him to do maths exercises. And he wants to drop it.

Last evening Mrs. Shute heard Bill crying in the next room while she and her husband were watching TV. She came up to him and asked, "What's the matter, Bill?"

"I can't do my maths homework,” said the boy. "I won't go to school tomorrow."

"No, no, don't do that!" the woman said in a hurry. "Maybe I can help you."

The woman studied the exercises for a long time, but she didn't know how to do them. Then she asked her husband to help their son with his maths. Mr. Shute said, "But I don't know maths, either. "

"It doesn't matter," said his wife. "You'll only fool him."

Mr. Shute had to do as his wife said. This afternoon Bill came back and showed his exercise-book to his father. Having looked at it, the man was happy and shouted to his wife, "Come and look at it! I got an A in maths!"

試題舒特先生出生在一個貧窮的家庭，他小時不能上學(xué)，因而不會數(shù)學(xué)題。他的兒子貪玩，做數(shù)學(xué)作業(yè)時遇到了困難。本文講述了舒特先生“幫”他兒子做數(shù)學(xué)題的故事。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一句Mr. Shute was born in a poor family.可知，舒特先生過去沒上學(xué)的原因是：他出生在一個貧窮家庭里，父母沒錢送他去上學(xué)。故選：B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第The boy likes nothing except playing. He doesn't listen to the teachers in class and can't do his homework after class.可知，比爾不會做家庭作業(yè)是因為“沒把心思放在學(xué)習(xí)上”。 故選：C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段"I can't do my maths homework,” said the boy. "I won't go to school tomorrow."可知，比爾不會做數(shù)學(xué)題，所以哭了。故選：A。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第六段The woman studied the exercises for a long time, but she didn't know how to do them.可知，她不會做，從而推知她也沒有上過學(xué)。故選：D。

【5】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)前文Mr. Shute said, "But I don't know maths, either. " "It doesn't matter," said his wife. " 可推知這句話意為“你就騙騙他”。所以fool意為“欺騙”之意。故選：A。
