题目内容
Donald was not very good at maths. He could not understand the teacher’s explanations. Even when the teacher explained something a second time, Donald still could not understand it. “Never mind,” Donald told himself. “I’m quite good at other subjects. I’ll cheat in the maths exam, then I won’t be in trouble.”
“I will sit next to the boy who’s best at maths,” he thought, “and copy down his answers.” The day of the exam came, and Donald sat next to Brian Smith, who always was at the top of the class in maths. Donald carefully copied Brian’s answers onto his own exam paper. At the end of the exam, the teacher collected the papers and graded them. Then she said, “Well, boys and girls. I’ve decided to give a prize to the student who got the highest grade. However, it’s difficult for me to decide who to give the prize to, because two students, Doanld and Brian, got the same grade.”
“Let them share it,” one of the other students said.
“I have thought about that,” the teacher said, “but I have decided to give the prize to Brian.” Donald was angry when he heard this. He stood up and said. “That is not fair. I got the same grade as Brian.” “That is true,” the teacher said. “However, Brian’s answer to Question 18 was ‘I don’t know,’ while yours was ‘Neither do I.’”

【解析】
试题分析：Donald对数学一窍不通，无论老师怎样讲解，他就是听不懂。不过，Donald并不担心数学考试，因为他认为考数学的时候可以抄别人的答案。在一次数学考试中，Donald抄袭了Brian的答案，得到了和Brian一样的分数，但是老师一眼就看出是Donald作弊了。
1.Donald was not very good at maths...”可知，Donald一点也不擅长数学，所以他才决定考数学的时候作弊，故选C。
2.Donald carefully copied Brian’s answers onto his own exam paper.”可知，Donald抄袭了Brian的答案，故选C。
3.Doanld and Brian, got the same grade.”可知，他俩的得分一样高，根据第二段第三行“Donald carefully copied Brian’s answers onto his own exam paper.”可知，Donald是因为抄袭了Brian的答案才考了高分的，故选B。
4.“However, Brian’s answer to Question 18 was ‘I don’t know,’ while yours was ‘Neither do I.’””可知，Brian第18题写的是“我不会”，Donald写的是“我也不会”，说明Donald抄袭了Brian的答案，故选D。
5.“That is not fair. I got the same grade as Brian.””可知，Donald认为自己的分数和Brian的一样高，理应获得奖品，故选A。
