Reading comprehension. 26%(A) Choose the best answer：6%This 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. As I searched the name, I found that there were two famous people having the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts（花生）, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; let the coin decide. I flipped(掷) a coin and Ah! Tails (背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later, I stood in front of the classroom and proudly read my homework. But things started to get strange. I looked around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and my stone-faced teacher. I was completely lost. ―What could be causing everyone to act this way?‖Oh well, I dropped the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, ―My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American War of Independence.‖ The whole world became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington?Of course, my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to the headmaster Miss Lancelot, but she said firmly: No re-dos; no new score. I felt that it was not fair, and I believed I deserved a second chance. So I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, I sat in the headmaster’s office again, but this time a completely different conversation.I smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster told me I was good enough to skip(跳过) the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term.60.

It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children, I learned French at school. And I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand French. I believed that I wouldn’t have any 66 problems when I went to America. So I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday there.How 67 I was! The misunderstanding (误解) began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to call my friend Danny who had been in America for two years and told her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking confused and asked if he could 68 me.―Yes,‖ I said, ―I want to give my friend a ring.‖―Well, that’s nice,‖ he said. ―Are you getting married ? But aren’t you a bit too 69 ?‖―Who is talking about marriage?‖ I replied. ―I just want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me 70 the phone box is?‖―Oh! I see. ‖ he said, ―there’s a phone downstairs.‖When Danny and I met up, she explained the misunderstanding to me.―Don’t worry,‖ she said to me. ―I had so many difficulties at first.
