Question

    I’m still remembering my science teacher, Mr. Jackson. On the first day of class, he gave us a talk about an animal called wampus. He told us that the wampus lived on earth millions of years ago during the Ice Age and died out because of the change of climate(气候). We all listened carefully and took _______ of everything he said. Later we had a test.

When the exam paper was returned to me, I was _______ and sad. There was a big red “×” through each of my answers. I failed. But how come? Anyway, on the test paper, I had written down _______ Mr. Jackson said in class.

Then I realized that no one passed the exam at all. What had happened?

“Very simple,” Mr. Jackson explained. “I had _______ all that story about the wampus. There had never been any such animal, so the information in your notes was not correct. Do you _________ to get high marks for incorrect answers?”

There was no need to say we were _______. What kind of test was this? What kind of teacher was he?

How could we believe he gave us so much information about an animal that had not been there at all? How was it possible for us students to doubt what the teacher taught us?

“The zeros on your papers will be _______ in your grade books,” he said. And he did it.

  Through this _______ Mr. Jackson hoped that we would learn something. Teachers and books are not always right. In fact, no one is. He told us not to let our mind go to sleep. _______, we should keep thinking all the time and speak up if we think there are mistakes in our teachers’ words or in books.

2.句意：试卷还给我时，我既惊讶又伤心。

考查形容词。A. excited兴奋的；B. surprised惊讶的；C. interested感兴趣的；D. worried担心的。结合上下文可知，作者在上课时将老师的话都记了下来，并写在了卷子上，作者认为这就是正确答案，结果试卷上都被打了“×”。这明显出乎了作者的意料，所以作者感到既惊讶又伤心。B选项surprised符合句意，故选B。

3.句意：我把杰克逊先生在课堂上说的话写下来了。

考查特殊疑问词。A. what什么；B. when什么时候；C. why为什么；D. how怎么样。根据上文We all listened carefully and took notes of everything he said可知，作者将老师所说的话都记了下来，故空格处应填入what引导宾语从句。故选A。

5.句意：你难道期望错误的答案会得到高分吗？

考查动词。A. learn学习；B. forget忘记；C. expect期待；D. refuse拒绝。根据上文可知，作者在上课时将老师的话都记了下来，并写在了卷子上，作者本以为自己可以得高分了，结果等来的却是一个“×”。所以此处老师问“你难道期望错误的答案会得到高分吗”， C选项expect符合句意，故选C。

6.句意：我们生气了自是不必说。

考查形容词。A. polite礼貌的；B. angry生气的；C. happy快乐的；D. peaceful和平的。根据下文What kind of test was this? What kind of teacher was he?可知，学生们得知老师课上讲的内容都是编的时候，他们生气了，开始不断质疑老师的行为。B选项angry符合句意，故选B。

考查副词。A. Instead反而；B. Otherwise否则；C. Finally最终；D. Luckily幸运地。上下文let our mind go to sleep和we should keep thinking all the time是两个相反的方向，故应用“反而”表转折。故选A。

10.句意：我们应该养成质疑的习惯和自己做决定的能力。
