Question

Jess really felt very happy．When he arrived at his seat in the classroom that morning，he found an invitation on his desk．It was from several of his classmates asking him to join them on a camping trip．This was the first time he was asked to join in an out-of-school activity．Why were they asking him now? Nobody seemed to like him．In fact, he had been so lonely that he drowned his feelings with food. As a result, he had put on a lot of weight, and this gave the kids something more to make fun of him．

Cindy, who was standing near Jess when he read the invitation, went out quickly to tell the others that the trick had worked．Everyone was pleased that Jess thought that was true．But there was no camping trip．The whole thing was made up．

At first, Cindy thought it was fun．But later, when Jess told her that he was going to buy a sleeping bag with his savings, Cindy had a second idea．She knew that Jess’s family had little money, and she hated to see him spend his savings on something he would never use．Cindy also hated to tell Jess the truth．Her close friends would be angry with her．

【解析】本文介绍了大家骗Jess说邀请他去野营，辛迪知道Jess家几乎没有钱。当她听Jess说要买野营用的东西时，她想要告诉他真相，但是又担心她的朋友生她的气。辛迪不知道怎么办。

1.A

词义猜测题。根据In fact, he had been so lonely that he drowned his feelings with food. As a result, he had put on a lot of weight,可知他增加体重了，应是吃的太多，这是为了减少孤独感，故选A。

2.C

推理判断题。根据Cindy also hated to tell Jess the truth．Her close friends would be angry with her．可知如果辛迪告诉Jess真相，她的朋友会生她的气，她和朋友会相处困难，故选C。

3.D

推理判断题。根据But there was no camping trip．The whole thing was made up．可知没有野营旅行，这是编造的，因此Jess如果买睡袋，也用不上，故选D。

4.B

推理判断题。根据Everyone was pleased that Jess thought that was true．But there was no camping trip．The whole thing was made up．可知每个人都很高兴，Jess认为那个野营是真的，故推断他没有朋友，故选B。

点睛：根据题干要求，在文中寻找答案所在的语句或段落，进行分析理解，词义猜测，推理判读和概括归纳，选出正确的选项。例如小题2，根据Cindy also hated to tell Jess the truth．Her close friends would be angry with her．可知如果辛迪告诉Jess真相，她的朋友会生她的气，她和朋友会相处困难，故选C。
