Question

【題目】In the USA, each year, students take part in a kind of competition called the Science Olympiad.

It has a lot of different events. Students go there to show how much they know about the science of music, biology, chemistry and others. My best event is forestry.

The big day had come at last! First，I went to watch the tower building competition. That’s when students build small towers and put heavy things on top of it. They hope they can hold them up. One of my schoolmates was putting things on her tower. She was nervous，and in the end it was too heavy for her tower to hold it—it broke! I felt bad for her.

After lunch, I helped some teammates with their events. One was geography，and the other was history. I don’t know much about those things, so I just watched my teammates do most of the work.

At last, it was time for my favorite event—forestry. The rules were easy. We had to look at more than 40 different kinds of leaves and find out which plants they were from. We also had to answer some questions about the uses of each leaf. I knew almost all of the leaves and could answer most of the questions. I had spent more than a month studying on the Internet to get ready. At the end, it was time for the awards (頒獎）.I was nervous，because the forestry awards were last. We won second place in the whole state! A nice man gave me a medal and smiled at me.

【解析】這篇短文給我們介紹了作者和同學(xué)們參加的一個比賽叫科學(xué)奧林匹克賽事。它包括很多方面，如音樂、生物、化學(xué)和其他方面。在作者和同學(xué)們的努力下，他們的團隊獲得了第二名。

【1】短文開頭第一段提到了Science Olympiad，這是美國的學(xué)生每年都參加的一種比賽。緊接著的下一段就具體介紹了這個比賽，故答案在第二段中It has a lot of different events. Students go there to show how much they know about the science of music, biology, chemistry and others。

【2】根據(jù)短文第二段中My best event is forestry可知，作者最喜歡的是林業(yè)。由此可知這句話的回答是肯定的。

【3】根據(jù)短文第三段中One of my schoolmates was putting things on her tower. She was nervous，and in the end it was too heavy for her tower to hold it—it broke! I felt bad for her.可知，作者的一個同學(xué)參加塔建筑比賽，到最后她非常緊張，她的她太重了，承受不了，結(jié)果塔散了。作者很為她感到惋惜。

【4】根據(jù)短文第四段中I had spent more than a month studying on the Internet to get ready可知，作者在參加比賽之前，花費了一個多月的的時間在網(wǎng)上做準備。由此可知答案。

【5】根據(jù)短文的最后We won second place in the whole state!可知，作者的團隊最后獲得了第二名。
