Question

I first went to Harrow in the summer term. The school had the biggest swimming pool I had ever seen. It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool. I made quite a habit of this with boys of my own size or less.

One day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel on the side of the pool. He was no bigger than I was, so I thought him a fair game. Coming secretly behind, I pushed him in, holding on to his towel so that it would not get wet, I was surprised to see an angry face come out from the water, and a being of great strength masking its way by face strokes (猛力地划)to the shore. I fled, but in vain. He overtook me, seized me violently, and threw me into the deepest part of the pool. I soon climbed out on the other side, and found myself surrounded by a crowd of younger boys.” Do you know what you have done?” they said, “It’s Amery; he is in Grade Six. He is champion at gym; he has got his football honor.”

I was frightened and felt ashamed. How could I tell his position when be was wrapped in a bath towel and so small.” He didn’t seem pleased at all, so I added in a most brilliant word,” My father, who is a great man, is also small.” At this be laughed, and after some general words about my rude behavior and how I had better be careful in the future, signified the incident was closed.

Answer 1

【答案】

1.A

2.B

3.D

4.B

【解析】

试题分析：

1.细节题，第二段第二句He was no bigger than I was.可知，他没有作者体型大，因此，作者认为可以推他下水。故选A。体型差不多。

2.细节题，第二段最后一句It’s Amery; he is in Grade Six. He is champion at gym; he has got his football honor.可知Amery是一个很杰出的运动员。

3.细节推断题。第三自然段He didn’t seem pleased at all, so I added in a most brilliant word,” My father, who is a great man, is also small.” At this be laughed,可知他看起来不高兴，因此作者又说了一些好听的话，使他笑了。可见，作者是为了使Amery高兴起来。

4.判断题，排除法。第二段提到He overtook me，他赶上了我，可见他比作者跑的快，排除A。第一段最后一句可知作者喜欢和比自己弱小的或是差不多的男孩子开玩笑玩，排除C。从第二段最后一句It’s Amery; he is in Grade Six. Amery是六年级，并非四年级。

考点：记叙文

点评：文章记叙了作者很喜欢去Harrow的那个游泳池玩，在那里可以故意去推一些孩子下水。一次作者将一个很杰出的运动员推下了水，引起了反感。作者从这件事中领悟到了以后要避免这样的事情再发生，以后做事要更慎重。文章题目并不难，理解好文意，再进行答题。
