题目内容
【题目】The day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting moments for all the children in the class. It took place during the first week of the term. Every kid was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.
Some jobs were more interesting than others, and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones. When giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year. During the previous year Rita had carried out the teacher’s instructions perfectly. All the children knew Rita would be given the best job.
But there was a big surprise. Each child received a normal job. But Rita’s job was very different. She was given a little box containing some sand and one ant. Though the teacher insisted that this ant was very special, Rita felt disappointed. Most of her classmates felt sorry for her. Even her father became very angry with the teacher and he encouraged Rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet. However, Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing something special with that job of little interest.Rita started investigating all about her little ant and gave the ant the best food, and it grew quite a bit bigger.
One day, a man, who looked very important, came into their classroom and declared, “Your class has been chosen to accompany me, this summer, on a journey to the tropical rain forest, where we will investigate all kinds of insects. Among all the schools of this region, your class has best cared for the little ant.”
That day the school was filled with joy and celebration. Everyone thanked Rita for having been so patient and responsible. And many children learnt that to be given the most important task, you have to know how to be responsible even in what are the smallest tasks.

试题分析:本文叙述了学生Rita的工作是照顾蚂蚁,这让她很失望,但是她还是认真地去做她通过调查了解了很多关于蚂蚁的知识。因此,她却为全班同学赢得了暑假去热带雨林研究昆虫的机会。由此告诉人们:只有认真做好一些小事,才有可能赢得更重要的机会。
【1】D推理判断题。根据上下文语境可知,老师在分配任务时会考虑到孩子们去年的表现,Rita表现最突出,但并没有得到最好的工作——她的工作是照顾蚂蚁,也就是“令人意外的事情(surprise)”发生了。即最负责任的学生得到了那份工作是最无趣的。故该题正确答案为D.
【2】A细节信息题。根据文章第三段中Even her father became very angry with the teacher and he encouraged Rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet. However, Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing something special with that job of little interest.可知,Rita并没有听她父亲的。故该题正确答案为A. Negative否定的.
【3】C推理判断题。A. hunter猎人;B. director主管;导演;C. biologist 生物学家;D. principal校长;根据文章倒数第二段中One day, a man, who looked very important, came into their classroom and declared, “Your class has been chosen to accompany me, this summer, on a journey to the tropical rain forest, where we will investigate all kinds of insects.可知,他将会和孩子们一块儿去热带雨林研究昆虫,所以他应该是个生物学家。故该题正确答案为C.
