C
“Did you do your homework, Lucho?” asked Mr Parra.
The student at the front of the class turned to watch the show. They were all smiling. Eva had no idea, but she wasn't smiling. For a moment, she looked straight into Lucho's dark eyes and he could feel his face go bright red. Then she turned back to the front and said something to the girl sitting next to her. They laughed.
Mr Parra walked towards Lucho's desk. Lucho looked up at him, although he didn't like history class. There was too much information to remember.
“Maybe you can tell us what I have been talking about for the last ten minutes, Lucho, while you were looking out of the window,” said Mr Parra.
Lucho's heart felt heavy. He didn't know what to say. He looked down at his history textbook. On the page about the Incas, there was a photograph of a gold object that looked very old. Next, he looked up at the board and saw Mr Parra's favourite: a mind map. Every time they had to write about something for homework, Mr Parra told them to make a mind map.
The mind map had four empty circles joined by four lines to a bigger circle in the centre. In the centre circle, Mr Parra had written the word “guaca”. Lucho tried to remember where he had heard the word before.
They were all waiting. Lucho looked out of the window and saw a little yellow bird. Yes, that was it! Guaca was a word that his grandmother had used, but what did it mean? The class was waiting for him to speak. Suddenly he heard the little yellow bird singing in the tree outside and he opened his mouth.
“We were talking about guaca, Sir,” he said.
“And what is guaca, Lucho?” Mr Parra asked.
“Guaca means ‘special object’. An object that was made by hand, usually from gold, Sir.”
Mr Parra looked surprised. He hadn't expected Lucho to know the answer. The girl next to Eva turned to look at him with new interest. The rest of Lucho's class - mates had lost interest. Lucho felt better, and he sat up straight in his chair.
“That's correct, Lucho,” said Mr Parra. “And what's today's lesson about?”
Homework! Lucho hadn't heard Mr Parra say that. He looked at the mind map on the blackboard again. Outside, the bird had stopped singing.
31. What did Mr Parra draw on the blackboard?


32. When Lucho's heart felt heavy, he probably felt .
A. bored
B. nervous
C. hope
D. shame
33. What is the best title for this story?
A. A Special Object
B. The Yellow Bird
C. A Special Object
D. The Mind Map

答案： 31. C 细节理解。根据第六段可知，思维导图有四个空的圆圈，中间有一个更大的圆圈，圆圈里是老师写的“guaca”。
32. D 推理判断。Lucho在老师讲课的时候，一直看着窗外，因此推测，当他回答不上来老师提出的问题时，他感到很羞愧。
33. D 标题归纳。“思维导图”作为贯穿全文的核心线索和叙事工具，不仅是Lucho找到答案的路线图，也是故事结尾处悬念(关于家庭作业)的焦点。
