Was it the nuns (修女)?”Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, “No.”“Well then,” she asked again. “WHAT was it?”Little Tommy looked at her and said, “Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed (钉) to the plus sign (加号), I knew they weren’t joking.”1.

He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books这个句子的语境，可知hit the books的意思是“用功”。4. 选B。Tommy学习一直不用功，但自从进了这所catholic school之后，情况就不一样了——整天都发狠读书，结果数学考试也得了A。这是为什么呢？文章在最后道出了其原因：Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed (钉) to the plus sign (加号), I knew they weren’t joking. 由此可知，Tommy是担心学习不用功会被钉在十字架上。5. 选B。Tommy把the man nailed to the plu s sign误解为“学习不用功的结果”，从而一改自己原来不好学的不良习惯，很快就把数学成绩赶了上去。可见，误解有时也可以起到好的效果。B 【答案及解析】1. 选D。根据第5段中的Chou is not very handsome. 可知A不对；根据第1段中的He doesn’t smile very often可知B不对；根据第1段中的He is quiet and shy可知C也不对。故答案选D。2. 选B。根据第2段中的His fans are so excited because he will sing songs in Beijing on September 12可知答案。3. 选C。根据第4段的His mother noticed the boy’s special interest in music 可知Chou小的时候就对音乐很感兴趣，也就是或那时就开始喜欢音乐了。4. 选D。根据第5段中It makes him attractive to me可知答案。5. 选A。这句话本意是说他不会跟随其他人，但跟文章主题音乐联系起来，以及根据前面一句话He is true to himself可知隐含意义为他有自己的音乐风格。       第三部分    阅读理解Ⅸ.76-80 DBDCA                 评分标准: 76-90题每小题2分。 91. why  92. camping  93. practiced (practised)   94.
