Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”
Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; flip (掷) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.
Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quite! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?
Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!

【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了主人公“我”在完成老师交待的任务时,对美国历史不是很熟悉,介绍的华盛顿这个人物不是历史上领导美国*的华盛顿,而是另外一个人。在课堂上,读自己写的有关人物的报告时,引起了同学的嘲笑,分数也很低,接下来的时间,主人公“我”努力学习,并最终取得了好的成绩。
108.推理判断题。根据第一段Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher.句意为:我自豪地读着我写的文章,我环视着教室的周围,同学们的脸上都强忍着大大的微笑,在他们的眼里都憋出了泪花,更加疑惑的是,我还看见了老师那“石头般’的绷着的脸。由同学们的笑和老师的表情判断作者的同学认为“我”的文章是荒唐可笑的。故*为B
109.细节理解题。根据第二自然段I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant.可知,以前,我从未听说过这个名字,但查找之后发现有两个人的名字一样,而又是完全不同的两个人,一个是发现了花生的数百种用法的人,一个是领导了美国的*,我也不知道,老师指的是哪一个。由此可知,“我”对美国的历史是不了解的。故*为A
110.词句猜测题。由本句I was totally lost.I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk,burningto find out what I had done wrong.可知,我完全的蒙了,我放下我的文章坐在桌子旁边,burning的找到我犯的错误。由此可知,作者完全蒙了,急切想知道自己犯了什么错误。划线的词的意思是“ 急切的”。故选D项。
111.细节理解题。I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year.我感觉,我受到的惩罚是不公平的,我还应该有第二次机会,剩余时间我把自己全身心的投入到我的学习中。由此可知改变事情的结果是通过“我”的努力。故选B项。
