2017年吉林高考英语完型填空专题模拟8

In the mid­1950s, I was a somewhat bored early­adolescent male student who believed that doing_any_more_than_necessary_was_wasted_effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment.

In Mrs Totten's eighth­grade maths class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals(小数).

Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answers to homework questions.

Mrs Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work towards the other end.

Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.

What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs Totten made her way from the beginning of the class, I desperately tried to determine which maths problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn't function.

When Mrs Totten reached my desk, she asked what answer I'd got for problem No. 14. “I…I didn't get anything，” I answered, and my face felt warm.

“Correct，” she said.

It turned out that the correct answer was zero.

What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn't always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third，I would never make it as a mathematician.

If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.

【要点综述】 经过一次做数学作业投机取巧而遭遇尴尬的经历后，作者明白了三个重要的道理。

61. D　句意理解题。作者在文章中提到自己做数学作业投机取巧，只记认为老师会问到自己的问题，因此他认为做好必要的事情就足够了。

62. C　细节理解题。根据文章第三段的内容可知作者的数学老师总是以学生口头回答作业的情况来确定学生的分数，因此C项正确。

63. A　推理判断题。文章第四段提到作者的老师总是按照学生坐的顺序来问问题，因此A项正确。

64. B　细节理解题。文章第六段提到当天有几个学生没有来，因此他的预定计划落空了，从而没有回答出老师的问题。

65. D　主旨大意题。作者讲述这堂数学课的原因是这堂课给他带来了有价值的教训，因此D是最佳选项。
