问题     (1)I started for school very late that morning and was in great dread of a scolding, especially because Mr. Hamel had said that he would question us on participles, and I did not know the first word about them For a moment I thought of running away and spending the day out of doors. It was so warm, so bright! The birds were chirping at the edge of the woods: and in the open field back of the sawmill, the Prussian soldiers were drilling. It was all much more tempting than the rule for participles, but I had the strength to resist, and hurried off to school.
    (2)When I passed the town hall there was a crowd in front of the bulletin-board. For the last two years all our bad news had come from there—the lost battles, the draft, the orders of the commanding officer—and I thought to myself, without stopping: "What can be the matter now?"
    (3)Then, as I hurried by as fast as I could go, the blacksmith, Wachter, who was there, with his apprentice, reading the bulletin, called after me: "Don’t go so fast, boy: you’ll get to your school in plenty of time! "
    (4)I thought he was making fun of me, and reached Mr. Hamel’s little garden all out of breath.
    (5)Usually, when school began, there was a great bustle, which could be heard out in the street, the opening and closing of desks, lessons repeated in unison, very loud, with our hands over our ears to understand better, and the teacher’s great ruler rapping on the table. But now it was all so still! I had counted on the commotion to get to my desk without being seen: but, of course, that day everything had to be as quiet as Sunday morning. Through the window I saw my classmates, already in their places, and Mr. Hamel walking up and down with his terrible iron ruler under his arm. I had to open the door and go in before everybody. You can imagine how I blushed and how frightened I was.
    (6)But nothing happened. Mr. Hamel saw me and said very kindly: "Go to your place quickly, little Franz. We were beginning without you."
    (7)I jumped over the bench and sat down at my desk. Not till then, when I had got a little over my fright, did I see that our teacher had on his beautiful green coat, his frilled shirt, and the little black silk cap, all embroidered, that he never wore except on inspection and prize days. Besides, the whole school seemed so strange and solemn. But the thing that surprised me most was to see, on the back benches that were always empty, the village people sitting quietly like ourselves: old Hauser, with his three-cornered hat, the former mayor, the former postmaster, and several others besides. Everybody looked sad: and Hauser had brought an old primer, torn at the edges, and he held it open on his knees with his great spectacles lying across the pages.
    (8)While I was wondering about it all, Mr. Hamel mounted his chair, and, in the same grave and gentle tone which he had used to me, said: "My children, this is the last lesson I shall give you. The order has come from Berlin to teach only German in the schools of Alsace and Lorraine. The new master comes tomorrow. This is your last French lesson. I want you to be very attentive."
The author didn’t feel the strange atmosphere until _____.
选项 A、he heard the blacksmith calling after him
B、he heard it would be the last French lesson
C、he saw the village people on the back benches
D、he saw Mr. Hamel on his most beautiful clothes
答案D
解析 根据题干的the strange atmosphere定位到第7段第2至4句。从第1段到第7段首句，作者都处于因为上学迟到而惊慌失措的情绪当中，对于在这之前发生的事，他并没有想过有什么不妥，直到第7段第2句他才定下神来，然后注意到老师的穿着与平时不同，觉得气氛有点不对劲。可见本题应选D。A发生在作者到达学校之前，那个时候他对周围的气氛并没有感到有什么不妥，故不符合题意；C出现在作者发现老师的穿着与平时不同之后，即已发现气氛异样之后，故不选；B揭开了作者心中的疑问，那个时候他应该已明白发生了什么事，也就不会感到奇怪了，故排除B。
