Question

About 1,000 students were having a final exam in a huge lecture hall. Obviously the teacher wasn’t very well liked, who kept shouting out how much time was left. During the exam he was so  36   going around the room making sure that nobody   37  . He asked the students to pile the   38   tests on the huge desk. This made for quite a mess(混乱).

    Anyway, everyone needed a fairly good   39  . Many students did poorly when rushed.  40of the students thought that he must get a good grade, so he went on when the professor said “  41   down and check up your exam sheets”.

Five   42   turned into ten, ten into twenty, twenty into forty … almost an hour   43   the test was over, our friend finally put down his pencil,   44   up his work, and headed to the front to present his final. The whole time, the professor sat there,   45   waiting for the student to complete.

“What do you think you are doing?” It was clear that the professor had   46   only to give the student a   47   time.

“Turning in my exam,” replied the student confidently.

“I’m afraid I have some bad   48   for you,” the professor gloated(幸灾乐祸), “Your  49 is an hour late. You’re FAILED it. And I’ll see you next term when you   50   my course.”

The student smiled slyly(狡诈地)   51   asked the professor, “Do you know who I am?” “No,” cried out the professor   52  .

The student   53   the professor right in the eyes and said slowly, “I didn’t think so,” so he lifted up one of the   54   half way, put his test neatly into the center of the pile, let the pile fall  55   his test in the middle, turned around, and walked out of the huge lecture hall.

Answer 1

36--55   BADCB   ABDAA   CBDAB   ACDDB  

解析:

36  be busy doing …忙于做……。这名教师不停地在教室走动，确保没有学生作弊。

37  因为学生们正在考试，教授不停地在教室走动的目的就是为了防止学生作弊。

38  根据后文可知，考试已经结束，他让学生把完成的答卷交到前面讲桌上。

39  学生进行的是期末考试，所有的学生都希望考出一个好的成绩，以防留级。

40 下文讲述的只是其中的一个学生在考试结束后继续答题。

41 根据常识，考试结束，学生应把笔放下，再检查一下试卷。另外，根据43个空后面的一句话，也可得知答案。

42  根据后面的almost an hour可知，时间在一分一分地过去。

43  考试结束后过了将近一小时，这名考生才停止答卷。

44  gather up收拾起来；send up发射；bring up养育,扶养；make up组成。

考生答完试卷后，应把试卷按顺序整理好再交上去。

45  一般情况下，考试结束，监考教师应让学生停止答题，把试卷收起来。可这名教师却出人意料地等待这名考生把试卷做完。

46  根据上文可知，教授一直在等这名考生把试卷答完。

47  这名教授在考试结束后，又等了一小时，这种令众人惊讶的举动本身就有一定的目的。另外，根据后文教授幸灾乐祸的言语可知，他等的目的就是为了教训一下这名“不听话”的学生。

48  教授所等说的话对这名学生来说是一个不好的消息。

49  此处指学生交卷晚了一个小时。

50 根据前面You’re FAILED it可知，教师是想告诉学生考试没有通过。期末考试不及格，当然得再读一年。

51  此处用and连接两个并列的谓语动词，学生笑了笑，然后问道……。

52  考生考试本来违反纪律，但竟然还笑着对教授提问题，教授理所当然地十分生气，根据前面的cried也可知教授的心情。

53   look … in the eyes :look in one’s eyes目不转睛地注视着某人。此处是考生为了转移教授的注意力故意做出的动作。

54 联系上文可知，其他考生已经把试卷交上，放在一起，这名考生只是掀开其中的一摞。根据下一句话“put his test neatly into the centre of the pile”也可得知答案。

55  bury掩埋。结合语境可知，考生把他的试卷放入这一堆试卷的中间，是为了不让这名教授找到他的试卷。
