Question

【题目】Choose the best answer （根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案）

It happens to all of us. It is the end of the semester and your teacher gives you your report card. You look at it and your heart stops because you realize that your parents are going to be very angry. This is the classic case of a bad report card! There is nothing you can do to change the past. So, what do you do now?

A disappointing report card is something that almost all students will experience at least once in their lives. Grades are how most schools evaluate（评价）students and they are pretty important. The problem is that we do not always get good grades we (or our parents) want. After a bad report card, it is important to figure out what to do next.

The first thing to do is talk to your teacher. Find out how your grades were calculated. Was the problem a bad test, lack of participation（参与）in class, or a failure to complete homework? Next, if the problem is something you can solve on your won (such as not doing your homework), make a promise to change your behaviour! However, if you have been studying hard and still got a bad grade, you probably need some extra help with your classes. Talk to your teacher and explain your situation. He or she will tell you where you can receive the extra help you need. Then, make a detailed plan of how you will improve your grades. Write down the plan and have it ready when you take to your parents. That’s good way to make your parents less angry.

While all parents want their children to get good grades, most understand that not every report card will be perfect. The important thing is that you show your parents you have a plan to improve your grades for next time. Always remember, many of the world’s most successful people failed many times before they became successful. They learn ed from their failures, and you should too!

【解析】

本篇文章难度适中，主要讲述当我们得到一个糟糕的成绩报告单时，我们应该做什么，并告诉我们许多世界上成功的人士在他们成功之前都会失败很多次，他们能从失败中学到很多东西，我们也应该这样做。

【1】细节理解题。根据Grades are how most schools evaluate（评价）students and they are pretty important. The problem is that we do not always get good grades we (or our parents) want“分数是大多数学校评价学生的方式，它们非常重要。问题是我们并不总是得到我们(或我们的父母)想要的好成绩”可知，我们不能总是得到我们想要的好成绩，故选C。

【2】细节理解题。根据Find out how your grades were calculated. Was the problem a bad test, lack of participation（参与）in class, or a failure to complete homework“查明你的分数是如何计算的。这个问题是一次糟糕的考试，缺乏课堂参与，还是没有完成家庭作业？”可知，并未提及你为了考试而努力学习，故选B。

【3】细节理解题。根据Then, make a detailed plan of how you will improve your grades. Write down the plan and have it ready when you take to your parents. That’s good way to make your parents less angry“然后，制定一个如何提高你的成绩的详细的计划。把计划写下来，准备好给父母看。这是让你父母少生气的好方法”可知，向你的父母展示你有一个提高你的成绩的详细的计划会让你的父母不那么生气，故选C。

【4】词义猜测题。根据However, if you have been studying hard and still got a bad grade, you probably need some extra help with your classes. Talk to your teacher and explain your situation“然而，如果你一直在努力学习，但仍然得到一个糟糕的成绩，你可能需要在课程上需要一些额外的帮助。和你的老师谈谈，解释一下你的情况”可知，这个情况指的是你一直努力学习，但是仍然得到糟糕的成绩的情况，故选C。

【5】推理判断题。根据Always remember, many of the world’s most successful people failed many times before they became successful. They learned from their failures, and you should too!“永远记住，世界上许多最成功的人在成功之前失败过很多次。他们从失败中学习，你也应该这样”可知，用来解释许多成功的认识也时不时地会失败，故选D。

【6】主旨大意题。根据This is the classic case of a bad report card! There is nothing you can do to change the past. So, what do you do now?“这是一个糟糕的成绩报告单的典型案例!你无法改变过去。那么，你现在做什么呢”以及下文可知，目的是为了分享处理糟糕的成绩报告单的方法，故选C。

做细节理解题时要先划关键词，再根据关键词定位到文中的某一段即可做出题目。

例如第3题，根据关键词make your parents less angry可知，定位至Then, make a detailed plan of how you will improve your grades. Write down the plan and have it ready when you take to your parents. That’s good way to make your parents less angry“然后，制定一个如何提高你的成绩的详细的计划。把计划写下来，准备好给父母看。这是让你父母少生气的好方法”可知，向你的父母展示你有一个提高你的成绩的详细的计划会让你的父母不那么生气，故选C。
