Question

    Mr. Dong was our science teacher. On the first day of class, he gave us a lecture about an animal that died out during the lee Age. He passed around with a skull (头盖骨) in his hand as he talked. We all took notes and later had a quiz.

When he returned my paper. I was shocked. There was a big red “X” through each of my answers. I had failed. There had to be some mistakes! I had written down exactly what Mr. Dong said. Then I realized that everyone in the class had failed. Thinking this achievement would be recorded in our report, we all got angry. But Mr. Dong refused to make a change. What had happened?

“Very simple.” Mr. Dong explained. There had never bee any such animal. All the story was made up by himself. So what we wrote down in our notes was the refore incorrect. Did we expect marks for incorrect answers? Hearing his explanation, we realized that be hadn't given us any useful facts, such as its living habit and particular body characters.

Mr. Dong said teachers and textbooks are not always dependable. In fact. no one is. So we should find out the truth by ourselves instead of accepting what the text or the teacher said blindly, He told us not to let our mind go to sleep and to speak up if we ever thought he or the textbook was wrong.

Every class was an adventure (冒险) with Mr. Dong He never let as off the hook until we had proved not only that we learned what be taught but also that we had the courage to stand up for the truth.

【解析】

文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。Mr. Dong在课上介绍了一种不存在的动物，学生们没有考证这种动物是否真的存在，因此他们都没有通过考试。Mr. Dong此举是为了教育学生们要具备独立自主的判断精神和坚持真理的勇气。

1.细节理解题。根据On the first day of class, he gave us a lecture about an animal that died out during the lee Age. 第一天上课时，他给我们讲了一种动物，这种动物在李氏时代灭绝了。可知Mr. Dong的第一堂科学课是通过口头描述来上的，故答案选A。

2.细节理解题。根据There had to be some mistakes! I had written down exactly what Mr. Dong said. 一定是出了什么差错!我把董先生说的话都写下来了。可知，作者感到惊讶的原因是他照老师说的做了，但结果还是失败了，故答案选C。

3.细节理解题。根据“Very simple.” Mr. Dong explained. There had never bee any such animal. All the story was made up by himself. So what we wrote down in our notes was the refore incorrect. “非常简单。”董先生解释道。从来没有这种动物。所有的故事都是他编造的。所以我们在笔记里写的是错误的。由此可知所有的学生考试都不及格，是因为他们得到了错误的信息，故答案选D。

4.词句猜测题。联系上文语境，结合He never let as off the hook until we had proved not only that we learned what be taught but also that we had the courage to stand up for the truth. 可知句意为：他从来没有让我们脱离困境，直到我们证明我们不仅学到了被教的东西，而且有勇气为真理挺身而出。结合选项get interested感兴趣；go to class上课；get away逃脱；graduate毕业。可知C选项符合语境，故答案选C。
