Half a Day
I walked alongside my father, holding his right hand. All my clothes were new: the black shoes, the green school uniform, and the red cap. They did not make me happy, however, as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time. \
%useful men out of boys. Don't you want to be useful like your brothers?\
I was not convinced. I did not believe there was really any good to be had in tearing me away from my home and throwing me into the huge, high-walled building.
When we arrived at the gate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls. \by you,\said my father, \join them. Put a smile on your face and be a good example to others.\
I hesitated and squeezed his hand firmly, but he gently pushed me from him. \said. \ I took a few steps. Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view. I did not know a single one of them, and none of them knew me. I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way. But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, \brought you?\
\ \
I did not know what to say. The gate was now closed. Some of the children burst into tears. The bell rang. A lady came along and said, \here, too. Everything that is enjoyable and beneficial is here. So dry your tears and face life joyfully.\
Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis. From the first moments I made many friends. I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of experiences. （1）On the way to school, the boy felt .

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者第一天去学校的时候并不开心，但是等他到了学校之后，他结交了很多朋友，开始了新的生活。
（1）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“They did not make me happy, however, as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time.”可知穿新衣服并没有让作者开心，因为他要第一次被扔进学校了；再根据第四段中的“I did not believe there was really any good to be had in tearing me away from my home and throwing me into the huge, high-walled building.”可知作者不相信将他从家中撕裂并被扔进这座巨大的高墙建筑（也就是学校）中真的有什么好处。综合可知作者认为去学校不好，去学校的路上是不开心的，沮丧的，故选C。 （2）考查细节理解。根据第五段中的\in by you, \said my father, \join them. Put a smile on your face and be a good example to others. \可知作者的父亲对他说：\进去吧，加入他们的行列。面带微笑，成为他人的好榜样。\也就是作者的父亲让他面带微笑，故选A。 （3）考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段中的“A lady came along and said, \is your new home. …and face life joyfully. ”；以及最后一段中的\no basis. From the first moments I made many friends.“可知老师过来对作者他们说了一番话，作者听了这番话之后觉得之前自己的顾虑是毫无根据的，打消了顾虑。他一开始就交到了很多朋友。这说明老师帮助作者在学校的第一天过得很好，他的同学也和他成为了朋友。故选A。
（4）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的”From the first moments I made many friends. I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of experiences.“可知从一开始我就结交了很多朋友。我从未想象过学校会有如此丰富的经历。由此推断之后作者会在学校开始新的生活，会有丰富的经历，故选C。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要准确掌握细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。
