"No, no, that's quite impossible!" replied the professor immediately." Do you know, last month I asked him when Napoleon died, and he didn't know!'

参考答案详解详析
1.（正确答案：B，解析：短文第一句提到 “he failed his history exam, and he was told that he would be dismissed from university”，说明 Jack 被开除的原因是第二学期末历史考试不及格。）
2.（正确答案：A，解析：短文第一段结尾提到 “his father decided that he would go to see the history professor to ask him to let Jack continue his studies the next year”，明确父亲去学校的目的。）
3.（正确答案：B，解析：教授拒绝后解释道 “Do you know, last month I asked him when Napoleon died, and he didn't know!”，说明教授认为 Jack 历史知识太差，所以拒绝让他通过。）
4.（正确答案：B，解析：结合上下文，Jack 考试不及格，后面父亲去求教授让他 “continue his studies the next year”（明年继续学习），可推测 “dismissed” 是 “开除” 的意思，即不能继续留在学校。）
5.（正确答案：B，解析：拿破仑是历史人物，并非 “recently”（最近）生病，父亲说 “家里没报纸所以不知道拿破仑最近生病”，其实是为 Jack 不知道拿破仑去世时间找借口，掩盖 Jack 历史知识不足的问题。）

杰克去大学(university)里学习(study)历史(history)，但在第二学期(term)末，他的历史考试不及格(he failed his history exam)，他还被告知将被开除(dismiss)。然而(however)。杰克的父亲(father)决定去拜访那位历史学教授，请求教授让(let)杰克继续(continue)下一年的学业。
“他是个不错的男孩(boy)。”杰克的父亲(father)说，“请原谅(pardon)他吧！如果这次您能让他通过(pass)，我确信(I'm sure)他明年一定会大有长进(improve a lot)；而且会在年终时真正地(really)很出色地通过考试。”
“不，不行，那是完全不可能的(quite impossible)。”教授立即(immediately)回答(reply)。“您知道吗，上个月我问他拿破仑是什么时候去世(die)的，可他居然不知道!”
“先生，请再给他一次机会(give him another chance)吧，”杰克的父亲说道，“您要知道，恐怕(I'm afraid)是因为我们家里没有报纸(newspaper)。因此我们甚至连拿破仑近来(recently)病了(ill)都不知道。”
