Question

The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before a huge pile of troublesome stuff they call “books”.

I was going to have my examination the next day. "When can I go to bed?" I asked myself. I didn’t answer, in fact I dared not.

The clock struck 12."Oh, dear!" I cried, "ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We pupils are the most wretched（可怜的） creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.

The clock struck one. I was quite hopeless now. I forgot all I had learnt. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, Please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.” My eyes were heavy, so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.

【解析】

试题分析：本文叙述了考前的一天晚上作者挑灯夜读，别人都去睡觉了，作者看着眼前的十几本还没有看完的书，再想想第二天要考试，他只有祈祷让他这次能够通过考试，以后再好好学习。这个故事告诉我们，要想学好要靠平时的努力。

1.这是细节理解题。根据Everyone was in bed except me. 除了作者别人都在睡觉，故选B。

2.这是细节理解题。根据ten more books to read before I can go to bed!”和I do promise to work hard afterwards, 平时不努力，考前开夜车，但是一晚上不能一下子把以前的学完，故选C。

3.这是推理判断题。根据The clock struck one. I was quite hopeless now. I forgot all I had learnt.学过的也都忘了，故选A。

4.这是标题归纳题。整篇短文都是在说考前的晚上的事情，故选A。

考点：故事类短文阅读。

点评：做推理判断题时就不会以个人思维想象代替根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断，也只有这样才不会以偏概全。推理判断题属于主观题，是层次较高的题目。它包括判断和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了做出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。该题要求在理解表面文字的基础上做出判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含意思和深层意思，也就是通过文章中的文字信息，上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等已知信息，推断出作者没有直接表达的态度和观点。
