问题 Most 11-year-olds are just happy to have finished their first year of middle school． However , Tom is not like most kids． He did not go to elementary(小学) , middle or high school but went straight to college at the young age of eight．While Tom's parents knew he was smart , they had never imagined putting him in college this young． However，when they tried to send him to a private(私立的) school at the age of six , he was turned down． because he was so smart that the school was afraid he would feel dull．It turns out the school was right． After homeschooling the young boy for two years , the parents realized that he was ready for some real high-level courses． They came to East Los AngelesCollege , who agreed to take him in． However，until he proved himself , he could take only two courses—math and music．Tom did not disappoint． He got A's in both and hasn't looked back since． Last week． He graduated as a top student． In fact , the young boy was so smart that he helped his fellow math students , some of whom were 10 years older than him．While the world may cheer him as a genius(天才) , his parents think he is just a normal boy who plays football and watches movies for children．The phrase“turned down”in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ___．A.acceptedB.respectedC.refusedD.examined
选项 A.accepted
B.respected
C.refused
D.examined
答案 C
解析 词义猜测题。根据第二段可知，6岁的‘Tom被一家私立学校拒绝，因为他太聪明了，学校认 为入校学习可能使他感到无趣。turn down在这里意为 “拒绝”，和 refuse意思最相近。故本题选C。
