Question

　　When Mary Smith was a middle school student, she always wanted to become a teacher because she liked children very much. When she was twenty-one years old, she began to teach in a primary school. She liked her job very much and she was certainly a very good teacher and she got on well with her students in her class. And all the students in her class regarded (把……看作) her as their good friends.

　　One day, one of the girls in her class asked her, “Miss Smith, why does a man's hair become gray much earlier than his mustache and beard?”

　　Mary smiled and said, “I'm sorry I don't know. Is it true that a man's hair becomes gray earlier than his mustache and beard?”

　　“Yes. Miss Smith.” answered the girl Helen. “It has happened to my father.” Hearing this the other children in the class all laughed at the silly (傻里傻氣的) girl. And the girl felt very nervous and cried.

　　Just before Miss Smith wanted to say something to the girl, one of the boys put up his hand and said, “I know, Miss Smith. Men's hair becomes gray first just because it's sixteen years older than their mustaches and beards.”

　　“Good answer! Who can give another answer? Or we can have a discussion (討論).”

　　“I want to say men have hair when they were born. But when they grow up they begin to wear mustaches and beards. That's my father told me!” A fat girl answered quickly.

　　After the students heard these two answers, they all laughed again.

　　“OK. You gave the same answer to Helen's question. How clever you are! Thank you very much. And I want to say if we want to know the exact answer we must work hard at all subjects and then we can learn many useful things about our bodies and life and so on. And we can ask an expert (專家) about this question.”

Answer 1

答案：A;D;B;C;D
解析：

本文是一篇記敘文，講述了一位熱愛工作的女教師和她的學(xué)生們就頭發(fā)為什么比胡子先變白展開的一場(chǎng)討論。 (1) 語境判斷題。從短文第一段第一句話：When Mary Smith was a middle school student, she always wanted to become a teacher because she liked children very much. 可以判斷出：Mary自從小的時(shí)候就想當(dāng)教師。故答案應(yīng)選A。 (2) 語境理解題。從短文第一段第三句話：She liked her job very much and she was certainly a very good teacher and she got on well with her students in her class. 可以判斷出：由于她熱愛她的工作又與她的學(xué)生們相處得很好，她成為一個(gè)好老師。故答案應(yīng)選D。 (3) 語境分析題。從短文第三段第一句話中I'm sorry I don't know. 和最后一段最后一話：And we can ask an expert (專家) about this question. 可以判斷出：就這個(gè)問題去請(qǐng)教一個(gè)專家，說明這個(gè)問題很難回答。故分析答案應(yīng)選B。 (4) 語境推理題。從短文第六段第一句話中Good answer! Clever! 及第九段中How clever you are! Thank you very much. 和最后一句話：And we can ask an expert (專家) about this question. 可以判斷出：請(qǐng)教專家的問題，學(xué)生能夠就事實(shí)作出判斷，這就充分說明學(xué)生的聰明。故答案應(yīng)選C。 (5) 綜合判斷題。從短文第三段中Is it true that a man's hair becomes gray earlier than his mustache and beard? 及第四段第二句話：It has happened to my father. 和短文第四段的最后一句話：And the girl felt very nervous (緊張的) and cried. 可以判斷出：Helen提出問題是基于父親頭發(fā)變白這個(gè)事實(shí)，且在受到同學(xué)的嘲笑后緊張得哭了。故判斷A選項(xiàng)是錯(cuò)誤的。從短文第一段最后一句話：And all the students in her class regarded (把……看作) her as their good friends. 可以判斷B選項(xiàng)是錯(cuò)誤的，從短文第五段和第七段可以看出：先后有兩個(gè)學(xué)生就此問題作出了回答。故判斷C項(xiàng)也是錯(cuò)誤的。從短文第四段開始部分 “Yes, Miss Smith,” answered the girl Helen. “It has happened to my father.” 可以判斷：Helen的父親頭發(fā)變白了。判斷D選項(xiàng)是正確的。故選D。
