About forty years ago, I was an instructor in the military academy at Woolwich, when young Scoresby was given his first examination. I felt extremely sorry for him. Everybody answered the questions well, intelligently, while he—why, dear me—he did not know anything, so to speak. He was a nice, pleasant young man. It was painful to see him stand there and give answers that were miracles of stupidity.
I knew of course that when examined again he would fail and be thrown out. So, I said to myself, it would be a simple, harmless act to help him as much as I could.
I took him aside and found he knew a little about Julius Ceasar’s history. But, he did not know anything else. So, I went to work and tested him and worked him like a slave. I made him work, over and over again, on a few questions about Ceasar, which I knew he would be asked.
If you will believe me, he came through very well on the day of the examination. He got high praise too, while others who knew a thousand times more than he were sharply criticized. By some strange, lucky accident, he was asked no questions but those I made him study. Such an accident does not happen more than once in a hundred years.
Well, all through his studies, I stood by him, with the feeling a mother has for a disabled child. And he always saved himself by some miracle.
I thought that what in the end would destroy him would be the mathematics examination. I decided to make his end as painless as possible. So, I pushed facts into his stupid head for hours. Finally, I let him go to the examination to experience what I was sure would be his dismissal from school. Well, sir, try to imagine the result. I was shocked out of my mind. He took first prize! And he got the highest praise.
I felt guilty day and night—what I was doing was not. right. But I only wanted to make his dismissal a little less painful for him. I never dreamed it would lead to such strange, laughable results.
I thought that sooner or later one thing was sure to happen: The first real test once he was through school would ruin him. [br] According to the narrator, Scoresby passed the exams because of
选项
A、the narrator’s help.
B、Scoresby’s good luck.
C、Scoresby’s hard work.
D、the teachers’ kindness.
答案
B
解析
第4段倒数第2句中的lucky以及该段最后一句和第5段末尾的miracle都表明作者认为Scores—by是因为运气好才能考试及格,因此本题应选B。文章反复提到作者帮助Scoresby,但也多次提到作者认为Scoresby笨到无可救药,由此可见,光靠作者的帮助或老师的仁慈,Scoresby是不可能考试及格的,由此可将最具干扰性的A和D排除。
