Question

One student put up his hand and answered, "I have smelled it. It is the smell of an apple."

Mr. Smith walked to the students, passed by each of them and said, "Please smell again to see if the smell of the apple is still in the air."

Half of the students put up their hands to show that they could smell it. Mr. Smith returned to the front of the classroom and asked again if the students could smell the apple. Everyone said yes but one student, Henry. Mr. Smith went to him and asked," You really can't smell the apple?"

文章講述了史密斯老師在教室里放了一個塑料蘋果，問學生們能否聞到蘋果的氣味，由于第一個說聞到了氣味影響了其余的大多數(shù)學生，而只有一個學生持相反的看法，卻是正確的，這則故事告訴我們要堅持自己的見解。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中Mr. Smith walked to the students, passed by each of them and said, “Please smell again to see if the smell of the apple is still in the air.” Half of the students put up their hands to show that they could smell it. 史密斯先生走到學生面前，經(jīng)過他們每個人的身邊，說：“請再聞一聞，看看空氣中是否還有蘋果的味道�！币话氲膶W生舉手表示他們能聞到�？芍�，第二次問的時候有一半的學生回答能夠聞到，故選C。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中Everyone said yes but one student, Henry. Mr. Smith went to him and asked, “You really can’t smell the apple?” Henry answered, “No, I can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a real（真的）apple.”可知，他沒有聞到蘋果的氣味，故選B。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中All of the other students were surprised. Some of them might have thought that the apple was not real, but they didn’t have the confidence（自信）to speak up. They just “followed the leader” and went along with the first student.其他學生都很驚訝。他們中的一些人可能認為蘋果不是真的，但他們沒有信心說出來。他們只是“跟著領(lǐng)導(dǎo)”，跟著第一個學生走�？芍�，老師這樣做是為了給學生們一個教訓(xùn)，故選B。

【4】主旨大意題。文章通過老師拿一個塑料蘋果讓學生聞，并且提問學生們是否能夠聞到氣味，而大多數(shù)學生都因為第一個學生的回答而跟著回答，只有一個學生堅持自己的看法，目的就是讓學生們能夠相信自己，不要隨波逐流，故選A。
