阅读与回答问题

It was a long hard day in the classroom, and Ms Cramble looked tired. “Maggie,” she said, shaking her head, “you didn’t listen to me all day. I should let you stay in the classroom after school …but I’ve got a better idea.”

Oh, no! I hated it when she had better ideas.

“I want you to help out on the school newspaper for the next month,” she said.

“The newspaper!” I nearly cried out.

I might be full of smart jokes, but I was pretty bad at everything else. What use would I be on the newspaper?

Working on the newspaper meant working with Tilly Turner.

Tilly was the editor(编辑) and reporter and unlike me, she was good at everything.

“Well, Magee, what sort of stories do you think we should be working on, for next week?”

Tilly asked me, as we walked over to the newspaper room.

I shrugged. (耸肩)

I never read the newspaper.

“So far we have stories on pets, and the new teacher, something on Ms Crambles’ cuckoo(布谷鸟) clock collection,” she went on.

“Really?” I said.

It was no wonder I never read the newspaper. .(改编于《新理念英语》8A)

【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述了一位“差生”在学校的一个生活片断。Maggie因为上课不认真，被老师安排下个月去为校报服务。什么也不会的她，对校报的内容毫不感兴趣，因此校报编辑同她交谈时，她显得也很无奈。

1.Because Maggie didn’t listen to her teacher.细节理解题。题意：为什么Maggie放学后不能回家？由短文第一段的：you didn’t listen to me all day. I should let you stay in the classroom after school 可知，她因为上课不听讲，放学后被老师留下来而回不了家。故填：Because Maggie didn’t listen to her teacher.

2.A month. 细节理解题。题意：Ms Cramble想要Maggie为报社工作多久？由文中的：I want you to help out on the school newspaper for the next month.可知，老师想要她下一个月为报社工作。故回答：A month.

3.Humorous.推理判断题。题意：Maggie有什么样的性格？由文中的：I might be full of smart jokes,可知，Maggie喜欢讲笑话，很幽默有趣。故回答：Humorous.

4.The editor and reporter. 细节理解题。题意：Tilly Turner是做什么的？由短文中的：Tilly was the editor(编辑) and reporter and unlike me, she was good at everything.可知Tilly Turner是编辑、记者。故回答：The editor and reporter.

5. 推理判断题。题意：为什么Maggie从不读报？由短文最后的对话内容可知，Maggie不读报是因为校报的内容只是关于“宠物、新老师、收藏”等内容，内容没意思，因此她不读。故回答：Because she thinks it’s not interesting.
