Question

One day in the eighth grade, I was taking a Math Test on basic trigonometry (三角学). Now for a middle school student, there was nothing basic at all about it. So I had studied for about two hours the night before. After reviewing it for some time, I had started to understand it, so then I closed the book and ____________. However, it was not until midnight that I fell asleep. The next day, when I got the test, it might as well have been written in Serbian (which I don’t know how to read). I tried my best to work out the hard problems, but the numbers I came up with were strange. I sat back on my chair and looked for any possible answers, but I could not remember anything or think correctly. I started thinking about my dad coming home from work to find that I failed the test …

“How could you have failed the test? I am certain that nobody else in the whole class got as bad a grade as you did!”

Naturally I didn’t want that to happen. My dad was also really busy at work at present, so I was afraid that this might make him mad. When feeling hopeless, I noticed that my table partner was writing fast on his test. I could see smoke rising up from how fast he was writing. I was attracted（吸引）to look over at his test, but then the many bad results I had heard about cheating（作弊）came into my mind. I reasoned(推理，思考) that if I started cheating now, it would be hard to give up that habit during high school. In the end, I decided not to copy his answers, and got a B- on that test. Even though my dad gave me a hard time about it, it would have been a lot worse if he found out that I had given in and cheated.

A. surprisedB. relaxed

【解析】

试题分析：这篇文章主要讲了作者在每次数学考试的时候都非常的紧张，并且他的父亲对他严格要求，他想取得高分，所以想通过作弊来取得，但是最后他又放弃这样的想法。

1.细节理解题。根据短文第一段However, it was not until midnight that I fell asleep. The next day, when I got the test, it might as well have been written in Serbian (which I don’t know how to read).可知作者每次在数学考试的时候都感到紧张，故选C。

2.细节理解题。根据下文However, it was not until midnight that I fell asleep可知上文应该是合上书去睡觉.。可知应选B。

3.细节理解题。通读全文可知作者的父亲在学习方面对他要求很严格。故选C。

4.细节理解题。根据Even though my dad gave me a hard time about it, it would have been a lot worse if he found out that I had given in and cheated.可知作者最后没有作弊。故选B。
