Question

【题目】 Do you remember your first day of school? Were you excited or a bit scared? When I started school, I lived in an area of southern Germany. I remember how frightened I was, mostly because I didn’t know what to expect.

My mother and I walked quietly, downhill into the center of town. When we entered the classroom, I noticed all the children were sitting quietly in their seats. Anxiously, I picked a spot next to a friendly-looking girl.

In my nervousness, I had totally forgotten I was to receive a Schultuete (school cone) on the first day of school, but as I looked at my teacher's desk I remembered. Her desk was covered with huge cardboard cones. I knew that my mother had filled my Schultuete with goodies and brought it to my classroom the day before, but I didn't know which one was mine.

That morning, the focus of my attention remained with those cones. All of the fear slowly disappeared. When the teacher asked me to approach the desk, she did not seem threatening at all. When she smilingly handed me my Schultuete, I was the happiest girl.

Proudly, I carried my gift home. The hill did not seem steep at all. Hurriedly, I unwrapped my Schultuete and discovered candies, chocolates, and oranges. This day stayed in my mind as one of the sweetest in my life.

When I was older I asked my mother about her first day of school. She told me she hadn't received a Schultuete from her parents because the custom had not been established all over Germany at that time.

The custom began in the cities in the 1800s and then spread to the towns and villages. By the early 1950s, the tradition of the Schultuete was established all over the country. And it has been passed on even in the present day.

A.is given to kids as a gift on their first day of school

【3】B

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者第一天上学的经历。

【1】细节理解题。根据第一段中的When I started school, I lived in an area of southern Germany. I remember how frightened I was, mostly because I didn’t know what to expect.可知，当我开始上学的时候，我住在德国南部的一个地区。我记得我有多害怕，主要是因为我不知道会发生什么。由此可知，作者第一天上学的时候，感到很害怕。故选C。

【2】推理判断题。根据第三段中的In my nervousness, I had totally forgotten I was to receive a Schultuete (school cone) on the first day of school, but as I looked at my teacher's desk I remembered.可知，(由于紧张，我完全忘记了开学第一天我将收到一份学校Schultuete，但当我看着老师的桌子时，我想起来了)及第四段中的When she smilingly handed me my Schultuete, I was the happiest girl.(当她微笑着把书递给我时，我是最快乐的女孩)和第五段中的Proudly, I carried my gift home.(我自豪地把礼物带回家)可推知，Schultuete是学校在孩子们第一天上学的时候，给他们的礼物。故选A。

【3】词义理解题。根据划线句及前句Proudly, I carried my gift home. The hill did not seem steep at all.可知，我自豪地把礼物带回家。这座山看上去一点也不陡峭。由此推知，这时候作者非常的兴奋。故选B。

做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确选择。如第1小题，How did the author feel at first about her first day of school?要求我们找出作者第一天上学的感觉是怎么样的。根据第一段中的When I started school, I lived in an area of southern Germany. I remember how frightened I was, mostly because I didn’t know what to expect.可知，当我开始上学的时候，我住在德国南部的一个地区。我记得我有多害怕，主要是因为我不知道会发生什么。由此可知，作者第一天上学的时候，感到很害怕。故选C。
