题型:不详难度:来源:
It was the first snow of winter — an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up until now, I had been able to dress myself for recess(课间休息), but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher, had been through first snow days many times in her long career, but I think she may still remember this one.
I managed to get into my wool snow pants. But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and matching scarf(围巾) were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots(靴子). In her calm, motherly voice she said, "By the end of winter, you will be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence.
I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected the adult to do all the work. After much wiggling and pushing, she managed to get first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.
I announced,“They’re on the wrong feet.” With the grace that only experience can bring,she struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again. Then I said,“These aren’t my boots, you know.” As she pulled the offending boots from my feet, she still managed to look both helpful and interested. Once they were off, I said,“They are my brother’s boots. My mother makes me wear them, and I hate them!” Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying(烦人的) little girl.She pushed and shoved, less gently this time, and the boots were returned to their proper place on my feet. With a great sigh of relief, seeing the end of her struggle with me, she asked, “Now, where are your gloves?’’
I looked into her eyes and said, “I didn’t want to lose them, so I put them into the toes of my boots.”
小题1:According to the passage, the little girl got_______from her brother.
A.the wool snow pants and the jacket
B.the jacket and the boots
C.the jacket and the hat
D.the boots and the gloves
小题2:Why does the author say Miss Finlayson would remember that first snow day?
A.Because the little girl played a trick on her.
B.Because it was the most exciting day of the winter.
C.Because the little girl was in her brother’s clothes.

小题3:We can learn from the text that Miss Finlayson_________.
A.was losing confidence in the little girl
B.gradually lost patience with the little girl
C.because disappointed with the little girl
D.was getting bored with the little girl
小题4:It can be inferred(推断) that before the little girl finally went out to enjoy the first snow of      winter,the teacher had to help her put on her boots __________.
A.onceB.twiceC.three timesD.four times

答案

小题1:B
小题2:A
小题3:B
小题4:D
解析

试题分析:
小题1:细节题;从第二段的句子:But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, 说明夹克是哥哥的,可知答案在BC之间选,从At least my hat and matching scarf(围巾) were mine,这句话可以排除C。选B
小题2: 推理判断题。根据文章大意可知作者说明Miss Finlayson将永远记住这第一个下雪天的原因是作者捉弄了她,故本题选A。
小题3:推理判断题。根据第八自然段中的she pushed and pushed,less gently this time可知本题选B。
小题4:归纳题:从全篇文章看我先自己设法穿上了棉裤和和我哥哥原来穿过的上衣,然后拿起我的靴子,故意刁难老师,我伸出双脚,等着老师给我穿,但等她给我穿上以后,我大声抗议道:你穿错脚了。老师用力地替我换鞋子。我说:你知道,这是我哥哥的靴子,我讨厌它们。等老师给我穿上后,她又问我:你的手套呢?我幸灾乐祸地说:我害怕丢了它们,所以将它们藏在了我的靴子里。
所以老师要给她穿四次她才出去玩。选D
考点;考查故事类短文阅读
点评:故事大意是一名幼儿园的小朋友,尽管会穿衣服,但在这个下雪的冬日早晨,故意刁难我们的老师Miss Finlayson。文章不难,但是要在字里行间推断出作者和老师的情绪要求学生做题更加细心。

举一反三
Brenda Bongos was a happy, artistic girl. She had one big ambition—to play the drums in a band. But one big problem lay in her way. To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but she lived next-door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves. So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy.
One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because there"s no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.
With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit(成套设备) and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child.
It wasn"t long before Brenda Bongos came very famous. Many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band.
