(2021·石家庄高一检测)
This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. As I searched the name, I found that there were two famous people having the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts(花生), 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: let the coin decide. I flipped(掷) a coin and Ah! Tails (背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.
Weeks later, I stood in front of the classroom and proudly read my homework. But things started to get strange. I looked around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and my stone-faced teacher. I was completely lost. “What could be causing everyone to act this way ”
Oh well, I dropped 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 War of Independence. ” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington
Of course, my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to the headmaster Miss Lancelot, but she said firmly: No re-dos; no new score. I felt that it was not fair, and I believed I deserved(应得) a second chance. So I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, I sat in the headmaster’s office again, but this time a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster told me I was good enough to skip(跳过) the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term.
【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者在新学校接到的第一次任务是在网上查找关于George Washington的信息, 由于作者对历史了解得很少, 在班级出了笑话。事后他埋头苦学, 第一学年结束时取得了优异的成绩, 可以跳级学习。
1. The task I received was to find information about _______.
A. uses for peanuts
B. American War of Independence
C. George Washington
D. my headmaster Miss Lancelot

2. People in the class acted strangely because _______.
A. I was too proud of my homework
B. I mistook what the homework was about
C. the whole world suddenly became quiet
D. the teacher’s face turned to a stone

3. I _______after I failed the subject.
A. worked harder to prove my ability
B. started to study from the 7th grade
C. was so frightened at the awful result
D. was given a second chance to redo the work

A. Seeing is believing.
B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. One is never too old to learn.

I smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster told me I was good enough to skip the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term. ”可知由于作者努力学习, 作者从5年级直接跳到了7年级。通过作者前后两次去校长办公室的情形对比, 让大家深刻领悟到: 有志者事竟成。“smiled”与“flashed back”也体现了作者成功后的喜悦之情。故选B。

Education
School is expensive for many African children. Lots of families can’t afford school uniforms or exercise books even though they don’t have to pay for school.
For those lucky enough to go to school, they have a lot to learn. Some take two language classes: English or French, and their first language. There is also math, science, history, social studies and geography. Chores take up much of children’s time after school. They have to get water and firewood for their family every day. Also there’s cleaning, washing and helping Mum with the meal.
Daily fun
It’s not all work and no play. Sports are very popular. Children can make goals with twigs (嫩树枝) and their own footballs with plastic and bits of string(绳子). They play in the country and the streets of old towns. There’re many football teams for teenagers in Africa.
Internet
