Passage 28【2020 •威海市】

I remember…
Mary Chan asked her grandfather what he could remember about his secondary school. This is part of what he told her...
 
I’ll never forget Mr. Tan. We called him Tiger Tan. He was our math teacher when I was in Sec 1. He was a wiry（筋骨强壮的）,muscular man and he was very strict. I never saw him smile while I was at school.
Mr. Tan was an excellent math teacher. He explained everything slowly and clearly on the blackboard. When he looked at the class, you had to be looking at his hawk-like eyes. He stared at us like a tiger facing a group of rabbits. If you weren't looking directly at him, he summoned（命令）you to the front of the class. Then he took "Joey" from his cupboard. "Joey" was a length of garden hose about half a metre long. After few painful wallops（猛）from "Joey" you paid attention all the time!
Sometimes Mr. Tan felt that the class was getting sleepy. Then he suddenly said, "Outside everybody! Round the school! RUN!" He stood at the door of the classroom, waiting for us to return. He had a slipper（拖鞋）and hit the last one or two pupils. I was usually the first back.
We were all scared of Tiger Tan. We didn't like him but we respected（敬重）him. He was a good teacher and was always fair.
We had a very different math teacher in Sec 3. He was Mr. Hu. He was cheerful and friendly. When he entered the room, somebody would ask him how a camera worked. Then he spent the rest of the lesson explaining how something worked. He drew diagrams on the board and sometimes one of us asked another question to keep him talking. Most of the class sat and day-dreamed about food or sport. We weren't really interested in cameras. We just wanted to avoid doing any work.
We liked Mr. Hu but we didn't respect him. We knew that we didn't learn much in his lessons.
6. In Mr. Tan's class, ________.
A. his students had to pay attention all the time
B. he drew diagrams and explained everything fast
C. he taught his students how to run around the school
7. The underlined word "Joey" probably refers to ________.
A. a boy who wasn't' looking directly at Mr. Tan
B. something Mr. Tan used to punish his students
C. a rabbit that was facing a tiger
8. Mr. Tan asked his students to run outside to make them ________.
A. strong and healthy B. refilled with energy C. scared of him
9. In Mr. Hu's class, his students asked him about cameras because ________.
A. they wanted to avoid doing any work
B. they were really interested in cameras
C. Mr. Hu was good at explaining how cameras worked
10. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The grandfather was often hit by Mr. Tan with a slipper.
B. Mr. Hu always explained everything slowly and clearly.
C. The grandfather didn't' learn much in Mr. Hu's class.
这是一篇记叙文，文章主要是作者的祖父回忆自己的两个数学老师：谭先生和胡先生。
6.A【解析】细节理解题。根据“you paid attention all the time”可知谭先生的课上，他的学生要一直集中注意力。故选A。
7.B【解析】词义猜测题。根据“a length of garden hose about half a metre long. After few painful wallops”可知是Joey是谭先生用来惩罚学生的东西，故选B。
8.B【解析】推理判断题。根据“Sometimes Mr. Tan felt that the class was getting sleepy”可知我们变得昏昏欲睡的时候谭先生让学生跑出去是为了让他们清醒恢复精力。故选B。
9.A【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“We just wanted to avoid doing any work”可知学生问关于照相机的事情是为了避免做任何作业。故选A。
10.C【解析】推理判断题。根据“He had a slipper and hit the last one or two pupils. I was usually the first back”可知用拖鞋打最后一两个到的学生，作者是第一个到的，A选项表述错误。B选项“explained everything slowly and clearly”胡先生讲课缓慢而清晰文中没有提及。最后一段“We knew that we didn't learn much in his lessons”可知C选项表述正确。故选C。
