Several days later, my grandaunt Miss Betsey sent me to a new school. It was very different from the last one. My last school was very poor and the teachers were so strict. But here, the headmaster Dr. Strong was an excellent teacher and an intelligent man. He enjoyed teaching and never punished anyone. I felt so excited and happy about everything here that I fell in love with the new school immediately. Soon I made many new friends.

Mr. Wickfield was the lawyer of my grandaunt’s and I lived in his house. His daughter Agnes was like a sister and treated me very well. She often helped me with my studies and also helped her father with everything. I had lived a happy life with them for years.

At the age of seventeen, I finished my studies. I was young with education and confidence. My grandaunt wished me to be a lawyer and gave me enough money. So I decided to go to London. I thought my future would be better there.

(—From ________)

1.1. Who is the headmaster at the new school?

A Miss Betsey

B Dr. Strong.

C Mr. Wickfield.

D Agnes.

解析：选B。1. 答案：B 题型：细节理解题解析：文章第一段明确提及 “the headmaster Dr. Strong was an excellent teacher and an intelligent man”，直接点明新学校的校长是斯特朗博士，对应选项 B。

2.2. What does the underlined word “immediately” mean?

A At least

B At most

C At once.

D At last.

解析：选C。2. 答案：C 题型：词义猜测题解析：前文提到作者对新学校的一切都感到兴奋和开心，结合语境可推知，作者是 “立刻” 爱上了新学校。immediately 意为 “立即、马上”，与 at once（立刻）同义；at least（至少）、at most（至多）、at last（最后）均不符合语境。

3.3. What is Agnes like in the passage?

A Honest.

B Funny

C Strict.

D Kind.

解析：选D。3. 答案：D 题型：推理判断题解析：文章第二段描述 Agnes“待我亲如姐妹，对我十分友善，常常辅导我的功课，还帮父亲打理事务”，从这些行为可推断出 Agnes 是善良的人，kind（善良的）符合；honest（诚实的）、funny（有趣的）、strict（严厉的）在文中均无相关信息体现。

5.5. Which book is the passage from?

A David Copperfield
