Question

【題目】Jack had gone to the university to study history, but he kept playing all the time and at the end of his first year, his history professor failed him in his exams. He was so poor at his subject that he would have to leave the university. However, his father made up his mind that he would go to see the professor to ask him to let Jack go on his studies the next year.

“He’s a good boy,” said the father, “and if you let him pass this time, I’m sure he’ll improve a lot next year and pass the exam at the end of it really well.”

“No, no, that’s quite impossible.” said the professor at once, “Do you know, last month I asked him when Napoleon(拿破侖) had died, and he didn’t know!”

“Please, sir, give him another chance.” said Jack’s father. “You see, I’m afraid we don’t take any newspapers in our house, so none of us even know that Napoleon was ill.”

【解析】

試題分析：短文大意：杰克到一所大學(xué)去學(xué)歷史。第一學(xué)期結(jié)束時，歷史課教授沒讓他及格，校方讓他退學(xué)。然而，杰克的父親決定去見教授，強烈要求讓杰克繼續(xù)來年的學(xué)業(yè)。

【1】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)第一段中at the end of his first year, his history professor failed him in his exams. He was so poor at his subject that he would have to leave the university.可知杰克在第一學(xué)期結(jié)束時，歷史課教授沒讓他及格，該科是如此得差以致他不得不離開學(xué)校，所以該選B。

【2】D細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)第二段的描述可知杰克的爸爸想讓教授讓杰克那次及格，所以該選D。

【3】D細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)I’m sure he’ll improve a lot next year and pass the exam的描述可知可知“at the end of it”中的 “it”指的是杰克在大學(xué)的第二年，所以該選D。

【4】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)第一段中的描述可知杰克不知道拿破侖是何時死的是因為他沒有學(xué)好歷史，所以該選A。

【5】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)短文的描述我想對杰克說“沒有付出就沒有收獲”，所以該選B。
