Th
32、is was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington.

40、对美国历史不了解而闹出的一个笑话，但作者通过努力最后终于提高成绩并实现跳级。1. B推理判断题。根据第一段内容我们知道，由于作者对美国历史的无知，弄混了乔治华盛顿的身份，所以同学们听了作者写的报告忍不住大笑起来。“bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes.”可知大家觉得这个报告很荒谬。controversial有争议的；ridiculous荒谬的，可笑的；boring无聊的；puzzling迷惑的，不解的。2. A推理判断题。 根据第二段“Since my idea of history came from an anc
41、ient teacher in my home country”可知，作者是从别的国家初到美国，所以对美国历史不了解而闹了笑话。3. D词义猜测题。 根据全文叙述可知，作者是通过投掷硬币来决定的答案，因此犯了常识错误。第三段中“I was totally lost.”说明作者不明就里，所以当其他同学读报告时，作者渴望知道为什么。annoyed 烦恼的；ashamed羞愧的；ready准备好的，情愿的；eager渴望的。4. B细节理解题。 根据第四段“Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year.”可知作者是通过throw oneself into(积极从事)而实现转变的。所以选B。文中老师并没有给作者机会重做，所以A错误；从祖父那里得到建议是在选择华盛顿身份时，所以C错误；而校长是在作者成绩提高后才接见的，所以D错误。
