On the first day of class, Mr. Whiteson gave us a lecture about a creature(生物) called cattytiger, a kind of cat-like animal that pletely disappeared during the Ice Age. He passed round a skull (头骨) as he talked, and we all felt interested and took notes while listening. Later, we had a test about that.
When he returned my paper, I was very, very surprised. There was a very large cross through each of my answers. And so it was with everyone else's in our class.
What had happened? Everyone was wondering and couldn't wait to get the answer.
Very simple, Mr. Whiteson explained. He had made up all that story about the cattytiger. There had never been such an animal. So why none of us noticed that and how could we expect good marks for the incorrect answers?
Needless to say, we got very angry. What kind of teacher was this?
We should have guessed it out, Mr. Whiteson said. After all, at the very moment he was passing around the cattytiger skull (in fact, a cat's), hadn't he been telling us that it pletely disappeared during the Ice Age? Clearly he was telling a lie. But we just kept busy making notes and none used his head. We should learn something from this. Teachers and textbooks are not always correct.

(答案→)D
解析：这是一篇课堂故事, 该故事告诉我们一个道理，老师和教材上的话也要甄别。
【小题1】细节题：从第六段的句子：But we just kept busy making notes and none used his head. 可知我们没有通过考试是因为没有自信思考。选D
【小题2】推理题：从文章可知根本没有cattytiger ，不是老师没有告诉我们关于cattytiger 的真实故事，A项是错的，C项是我们不是知道老师为什么骗我们，这不是生气的原因，而且我们生气不是因为没有cattytiger ，D项是错的，我们生气是因为考试没通过，B项是对的。
【小题3】细节题：从最后一段的句子：But we just kept busy making notes and none used his head. We should learn something from this. Teachers and textbooks are not always correct. 可知我们没有发现这是谎言是因为太相信老师了。选A
【小题4】细节题：从最后一段的句子：We should have guessed it out, Mr. Whiteson said. 可知老师认为如果我们认为老师和课本是错的，应该说出来。选C
