Question

Jess really felt very happy. When he arrived at his seat in the classroom that morning, he found an invitation on his desk. It was from several of his classmates asking him to join them on a camping trip. This was the first time he was asked to join in an out-of-school activity. Why were they asking him now? Nobody seemed to like him. In fact，he had been so lonely that he drowned his feeling with food. As a result，he had put on a lot of weight，and this gave the kids something more to make fun of him.

Cindy, who was standing near Jess when he read the invitation, went out quickly to tell the others that the trick（恶作剧）had worked. Everyone was pleased that Jess thought that was true. But there was no camping trip. The whole thing was made up.

At first, Cindy thought it was fun. But later, when Jess told her that he was going to buy a sleeping bag with his savings（积蓄）, Cindy had a second idea. She knew that Jess’s family had little money, and she hated to see him spend his savings on something he would never use. Cindy also hated to tell Jess the truth. Her close friends would be angry with her. What could she do now?

试题分析：文章围绕一个邀请信展开，Jess经常受到同学们的嘲笑，他有很少的朋友。同学们编了一个露营的恶作剧来骗Jess，Jess当真的，准备买一个睡袋。

1.根据第一段“he had been so lonely that he drowned his feeling with food. As a result，he had put on a lot of weight，and this gave the kids something more to make fun of him.”可知，他只好用吃东西来抵抗孤独，结果胖了很多，同学们就更加的嘲笑他了。故选A。

2.根据第二段“Cindy, who was standing near Jess when he read the invitation, went out quickly to tell the others that the trick（恶作剧）had worked.”可知，Cindy和其他同学一起编了一个恶作剧来骗Jess，如果告诉了Jess，其他人会找Cindy的麻烦，故选C。

3.根据第二段“But there was no camping trip. The whole thing was made up.”可知，这是一个骗局，根本没有露营这个活动，因此，买了睡袋也没有用处。故选D。

4.根据第一段“Nobody seemed to like him. In fact，he had been so lonely that he drowned his feeling with food... to make fun of him”可知，似乎没有人喜欢Jess，他很孤独，有很少的朋友。故选B。

5.根据第一段和最后一段“Jess really felt very happy. When he arrived at his seat in the classroom that morning, he found an invitation on his desk. It was from several of his classmates asking him to join them on a camping trip...he was going to buy a sleeping bag...”可知，文章主要讲的是Jess收到一个去露营的邀请，而这个邀请是同学们的恶作剧。故选C。
