The day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting moments for all the children in the class. It took place during the first week of the term. Every kid was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.
Some jobs were more interesting than others, and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones. When giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year. During the previous year Rita had carried out the teacher’s instructions perfectly. All the children knew Rita would be given the best job.
But there was a big surprise. Each child received a normal job. But Rita’s job was very different. She was given a little box containing some sand and one ant. Though the teacher insisted that this ant was very special, Rita felt disappointed. Most of her classmates felt sorry for her. Even her father became very angry with the teacher and he encouraged Rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet. However, Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing something special with that job of little interest.
Rita started investigating all about her little ant and gave the ant the best food, and it grew quite a bit bigger.
One day, a man, who looked very important, came into their classroom and declared, “Your class has been chosen to accompany me, this summer, on a journey to the tropical rain forest, where we will investigate all kinds of insects. Among all the schools of this region, your class has best cared for the little ant.”
That day the school was filled with joy and celebration. Everyone thanked Rita for having been so patient and responsible. And many children learnt that to be given the most important task you have to know how to be responsible even in what are the smallest tasks.
【小题1】What did the teacher base his decision on when giving out jobs to the children?
| A．Their characters and interests. |
| B．Their class performance during the previous year. |
| C．Their working performance during the previous year. |
| D．Their ability of managing their accounts during the previous year. |
| A．Each child got an important job. |
| B．Each child got an interesting job. |
| C．The perfect student got the job of everyone’s preference． |
| D．The most responsible student got the job of least interest. |
| A．Negative. | B．Uncertain. | C．Totally positive. | D．Acceptive. |
| A．hunter | B．director | C．biologist | D．principal |
| A．Never complain about life. |
| B．Small tasks can lead to fortunes. |
| C．Men are best known by their friends. |
| D．Responsibility and intelligence bring good luck. |

解析试题分析：本文叙述了只有认真做好一些小事，才有可能赢得更重要的机会。在班里每个孩子会被给予一份工作，要求他们在这一学期对其负责，老师在分配任务时会考虑到孩子们去年的表现。Rita表现最突出并没有得到最好的工作，Rita的工作是照顾蚂蚁，她感到很失望，但是她还是认真地去做她通过调查了解了很多关于蚂蚁的知识。正好学校组织一次旅游去研究昆虫，她学到的知识用上了。
【小题1】细节理解题。根据When giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year.根据在过去在一年里学习表现，故选C。
【小题2】句意理解题。根据All the children knew Rita would be given the best job of all可知，在孩子们中间Rita表现“最突出(stood out)”，所以所有的孩子都认为她会被给予最好的工作。Each child received a normal job. But Rita’s job was very different.可知，Rita并没有得到最好的工作，所以“令人意外的事情(surprise)”发生了。所以最负责任的学生得到了那份工作是最没有兴趣的，故选D。
【小题3】细节理解题。根据Even her father became very angry with the teacher and he encouraged Rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet. However, Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing something special with that job of little interest.她没有听她的父亲的，故选A。
【小题4】推理判断题。根据One day, a man, who looked very important, came into their classroom and declared, “Your class has been chosen to accompany me, this summer, on a journey to the tropical rain forest, where we will investigate all kinds of insects. 他可能是生物学家，因为他也要参加这次活动，故选C。
【小题5】标题归纳题。根据短文的内容都跟这次任务有关，故选B。
考点：故事类短文阅读。
点评：标题的最大特点就是要体现主题思想,因此标题必须具备高度概括性, 一看到标题, 往往要使读者知道文章主要介绍什么内容。尽管标题是对文章内容的概括和总结,但也不能太过于抽象、乏化、笼统, 而失去对文章具体内容的指向性, 否则标题就不具有个性, 无论你将标题阅读多少遍也无法弄清文章到底是介绍哪一方面的具体内容。标题是文章首先映入读者眼帘的内容,为打动读者的内心, 标题必须使用精彩的语言。这种语言要么情感浓烈, 真挚感人; 要么新颖时尚, 引领潮流; 要么短小精悍, 言简意赅; 要么对称和谐, 丰满匀称, 给人美感, 醒目。
