Section B
Directions:
There
are
several
passages
in
this
section.
Each
passage
is
followed
by
some
questions
or
unfinished
statements.
For
each
of
them
there
are
four
choices
marked
A),
B),
C)
and
D).
You
should
decide
on
the
best
choice.
Passage One
Questions 31 to
35 are based on the following passage.
When
school was
out, I
hurried to find my
sister and get
out
of the schoolyard before
seeing anybody in
my class. But
Barbara and her
friends had beaten us to the
playground entrance and they seemed to be
waiting
for
us.
Barbara
said,
now
you're
in
the
A
class.
She
sounded
impressed.
faintly envious
giggling sounds.
moved you to the front
of the room, dopey? Didn't you know you were in
the C class before, way in the back of
the room?
Of
course
I
hadn't
known.
The
Wenatchee
fifth
grade
was
bigger
than my whole school which had been in
North Dakota, and the idea of
subdivisions
within
a
grade
had
never
occurred
to
me.
The
subdividing
for
the first
marking period had been done before I came to the
school, and
l had never, in the six
weeks when I'd been there, talked to anyone long
enough to find out about the A, B, and
C classes.
I
still
could
not
understand
why
that
had
made
such
a
difference to Barbara and her
friends. I didn’t yet know that it was
shameful and dirty to be a transient
laborer and ridiculous to be from
North
Dakota. I thought living in a tent was more fun
than living in a
house.
I
didn't
know
that
we
were
gypsies,
really
(how
that
thought
would
have
excited
me
then!
).
It
didn't
occur
to
me
that
we
were
all
looked
upon as one more of the untrustworthy
natural phenomena, drifting here
and
there like mists or winds, I didn't know that I
was the only child
who had camped on
the Baumann's land ever to get out of the C class.
I only knew
that for two happy days I walked to school with
Barbara and her friends, played
hopscotch and jumped rope with them at
class intervals, and was even invited
into the house for some ginger ale
—
a strange drink I had never tasted before.
31.

is __________.
A) reflective

正确答案：

33.
The
basic
reason
why
people
in

D) were temporary residents
