11．We once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class．
"You could win prizes，"our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard．She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing，"The first prize is ten dollars．You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster．"
We studied the board critically．Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard，rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured up our designs．Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought．We had plans for that ten-dollar grand prize，each and every one of us．I'm going to spend mine on candies，one hopeful would announce，while another practiced looking serious，wise and rich．
Everyone in the class made a poster．Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins，while others used nothing but colored construction paper．Some of us used big designs，and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and let the space draw the viewer's attention to it．Some of us would wander past the good students'desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness．It was yet another grown-up trick of the sort they seemed especially fond of，making all of us believe we had a fair chance，and then always-always-rewarding the same old winners．
I believe I drew a sailboat，but I can't say that with any certainty．I made it．I admired it．I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen，and then I turned it in．
Minutes passed．No one came along to give me the grand prize，and then someone distracted me，and I probably never would have thought about that poster again．
I was still sitting at my desk，thinking，What poster？when the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me．

A．It must appear in time．

分析 这是一篇回忆往事的记叙文．本文作者记叙自己五年级美术课海报设计比赛的经历．在设计海报过程中，自己认认真真地做完之后也没有想到自己会得奖，但是最后的确得奖了．
解答 DADC
51 D 细节题．由文章第二段最后一句"You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster．"可知你只需要确保黑板上的字出现在你的海报正确答案为D．
52 A 推断题．联系上下句，上下句的句式是 some…other…，while we conjured up our designs 对应的部分是 deep in thought，将A项替换划线词，则该句句意为"一些人眯着眼，举起某些颜色对着黑板，左右摇摆着思考设计"，符合文意，故正确答案为A．
53 D 细节题．由第四段倒数第二句"Some of us would wander past the good students'desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness．"可知看了一些好的设计之后，其他学生认为自己得奖的希望渺茫，关键词 hopelessness 很好地表现了学生的心理，故正确答案为D．
54 C 推断题．从原文作者对奖项的描述"and then always-always-rewarding the same old winners"，"I can't say that with any certainty"和"I was still sitting at my desk，thinking，what poster？"可知作者对于自己获奖很惊讶，其它选项文中都没有谈到，故正确答案为C．
