The Inspector of Schools arrived yesterday morning, and he spent the whole day examining the classes. The headmaster had told us a few days __1 that he was coming. I think the headmaster was very 2 about it, for every day, he came to all the classes, 3 the teachers over and over again what they must do and examined the boys himself to see __4_ they were ready for the inspector. He told us in our class that we were all fools and would be sure to make him lose face before the inspector. All this made us very nervous; and when the 5 walked into our class we were all very afraid. I felt that all I 6 knew had gone clean out of my 7 . The inspector is a tall man. He wears glasses and always looks very strict. He 8 on examining the class in English, and I was asked to read. I felt very nervous, but I got 9 without any bad mistakes. Some of the other boys, 10 , did not do well and the inspector 11 serious, though he did not say 12 . We got along with history and geography; but when it came to math, he set us some very 13 problems to solve which we failed to do; so he looked very angrily at our teacher.

名師點評

督學要來學校檢查教學工作，校長、老師和學生們都很害怕。由于同學們上課很緊張，不能正確的解題、答題，老師受到責備。“緊張”貫穿全文，完成短文時要抓住人物的心理活動。

答案簡析在下一頁：

1. A。(督學來到的)幾天前，the headmaster就告訴了我們他要來。此空由前面的過去完成時決定。

2. A。the headmaster 對此事很擔心，C有一定的干擾性，從后文他每天做的事來看，不是害怕。

3. D。他一遍又一遍地告訴他們應該干些什么。

4. A。whether用來連接賓語從句。 the headmaster想知道孩子們是否作好了準備。

5. D。根據(jù)上下文推出要來班上視察的人。 #p#分頁標題#e#

6. C。ever表示“曾經(jīng)”。

7. D。由于緊張推理出：我感到我所知道的都從我頭腦中丟干凈了。

8. C。keep doing sth. 不停地做某事。

9. B。get through指通過閱讀檢測，其它選項都不能表現(xiàn)這一點。

10. B。從did not go so well看，此空表示轉(zhuǎn)折。

11. A。督學看起來很嚴肅，作者在此是說，看到如此多學生回答不好，督學的臉色很難看，因此用looked。

12. C。much修飾不可數(shù)名詞，這里代所說的話。

13. B。hard 在此相當于difficult，選擇此空時要注意前面的轉(zhuǎn)折詞。

14. C。 因為督學looked very angrily at our teacher ，因此our teacher 把氣都撒在了我們身上。

15. C�？吹蕉綄W來到后老師學生們的緊張表現(xiàn)，“我決定長大后要當督學。”
