A.furthered;buying B.furthered;to buy C.furthering;to be bought D.furthering;buying 解析:further為及物動詞,意為“促進,推進”,在with復合結(jié)構(gòu),用過去分詞形式表被動或完成;deserve doing相當于deserve to be done,表示某事“值得被做”。 答案:A 8.Mum,I was wondering if you cou

7、ld lend me a few dollars until I 　　　 on Friday.?

9、…進行比較”,在該題when后面為非謂語形式,由于句子主語film和compare為被動關(guān)系,所以應(yīng)用過去分詞形式,此處是when it (film) is compared to such art forms as music and painting的省略。 答案:D 11.Can you 　　　 yourself 　　　 the new job?? A.adapt;for　　 B.adapt;to　 C.adjust;for　 D.suit;for 解析:句意:你能適應(yīng)這項新工作嗎?adapt oneself to“使自己適應(yīng)”。adjust與suit都可作“適應(yīng)”講,介詞一般

11、 C.to be intended　　 D.having been intended 解析:本句為過去分詞短語作后置定語,相當于The movie which was originally intended for children under 12...。 答案:A 14.—We’re organizing a party next Saturday,and I’d like you to come. —　　　!I have another one that day.Thank you just the same.? A.Good luck B.What a pity C.Nev

12、er do it again D.Well done 解析:上句邀請對方,但下句由“I have another one that day.”可以看出那天不能去,此處答語應(yīng)該是委婉回絕,what a pity符合語境。其他均不合句意,故選B項。 答案:B 15.—Do you have enough to 　　　 all your daily expenses?? —Oh,yes,enough and to spare. A.spend　　 B.afford　　 C.fill　　　 D.cover 解析:spend“花費,度過”,(主語通常是人);afford“買得起,承擔得起”

Mark Twain has been called the inventor of the American novel.And he surely deserves additional praise:the man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism.

27、I say clever because anti-slavery fiction had been the important part of the literature in the years before the Civil War.H.B.Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin is only the most famous example.These early stories dealt directly with slavery.With minor exceptions,Twain planted his attacks on slavery and preju

28、dice into tales that were on the surface about something else entirely.He drew his readers into the argument by drawing them into the story. Again and again,in the postwar years,Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race.Consider the most controversial,at least today,of Twain’s novels,A

29、dventures of Huckleberry Finn.Only a few books have been kicked off the shelves as often as Huckleberry Finn,Twain’s most widely read tale.Once upon a time,people hated the book because it struck them as rude.Twain himself wrote that those who banned the book considered the novel “trash and suitable

30、 only for the slums(貧民窟).” More recently the book has been attacked because of the character Jim,the escaped slave,and many occurences of the word nigger.(The term Nigger Jim,for which the novel is often severely criticized,never appears in it.) But the attacks were and are silly—and miss the point

31、.The novel is strongly anti-slavery.Jim’s search through the slave states for the family from whom he has been forcibly parted is heroic.As J.Chadwick has pointed out,the character of Jim was a first in American fiction—a recognition that the slave had two personalities,“the voice of survival within

32、 a white slave culture and the voice of the individual:Jim,the father and the man.” There is much more.Twain’s mystery novel Pudd’nhead Wilson stood as a challenge to the racial beliefs of even many of the liberals of his day.Written at a time when the accepted wisdom held Negroes to be inferior(低等

33、的) to whites,especially in intelligence,Twain’s tale centered in part around two babies switched at birth.A slave gave birth to her master’s baby and,for fear that the child should be sold South,switched him for the master’s baby by his wife.The slave’s light-skinned child was taken to be white and

34、grew up with both the attitudes and the education of the slave-holding class.The master’s wife’s baby was taken for black and grew up with the attitudes and intonations of the slave. The point was difficult to miss:nurture(養(yǎng)育),not nature,was the key to social status.The features of the black man th

35、at provided the stuff of prejudice—manner of speech,for example—were,to Twain,indicative of nothing other than the conditioning that slavery forced on its victims. Twain’s racial tone was not perfect.One is left uneasy,for example,by the lengthy passage in his autobiography (自傳) about how much he l

36、oved what were called “nigger shows” in his youth—mostly with white men performing in black-face—and his delight in getting his mother to laugh at them.Yet there is no reason to think Twain saw the shows as representing reality.His frequent attacks on slavery and prejudice suggest his keen awareness

37、 that they did not. Was Twain a racist? Asking the question in the 21st century is as wise as asking the same of Lincoln.If we read the words and attitudes of the past through the “wisdom” of the considered moral judgments of the present,we will find nothing but error.Lincoln,who believed the black

38、 man the inferior of the white,fought and won a war to free him.And Twain,raised in a slave state,briefly a soldier,and inventor of Jim,may have done more to anger the nation over racial injustice and awaken its collective conscience than any other novelist in the past century. How do Twain’s novel

39、s on slavery differ from Stowe’s? A.Twain was more willing to deal with racism. B.Twain’s attack on racism was much less open. C.Twain’s themes seemed to agree with plots. D.Twain was openly concerned with racism. 解析:根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容可推斷出,雖然馬克·吐溫的小說也表達了反對奴隸制度的思想,但是他對種族歧視的抨擊不像斯托的《湯姆叔叔的小屋》那么公開直白。 答案:B 37

40、.Recent criticism of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn arose partly from its 　　　.? A.target readers at the bottom B.anti-slavery attitude C.rather impolite language D.frequent use of “nigger” 解析:根據(jù)第三段最后一句可知,最近,《哈克貝利·費恩歷險記》遭受批評的部分原因是里面多次出現(xiàn)nigger一詞。 答案:D 38.What best proves Twain’s anti-slavery st

41、and according to the author? A.Jim’s search for his family was described in detail. B.The slave’s voice was first heard in American novels. C.Jim grew up into a man and a father in the white culture. D.Twain suspected that the slaves were less intelligent. 解析:根據(jù)第四段最后一句可知,作者認為,馬克·吐溫是堅決反對奴隸制度的,小說

42、中的主人公吉姆的成長變化充分說明了這一點。 答案:C 39.The story of two babies switched mainly indicates that 　　　.? A.slaves were forced to give up their babies to their masters B.slaves’ babies could pick up slave-holders’ way of speaking C.blacks’ social position was shaped by how they were brought up D.blacks were

43、born with certain features of prejudice 解析:根據(jù)第六段第一句可推斷出,這兩個一出生被替換的孩子的故事主要表明黑人的社會地位是由他們被培養(yǎng)的方式造就的。 答案:C 40.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 7 refer to? A.The attacks. B.Slavery and prejudice. C.White men. D.The shows. 解析:根據(jù)上一句并結(jié)合畫線代詞所在的句意可推斷,they指代的就是the shows。 答案:D 41.What do

44、es the author mainly argue for? A.Twain had done more than his contemporary writers to attack racism. B.Twain was an admirable figure comparable to Abraham Lincoln. C.Twain’s works had been banned on unreasonable grounds. D.Twain’s works should be read from a historical point of view. 解析:根據(jù)最后一段

45、最后一句內(nèi)容可推斷出,作者認為,馬克·吐溫在抨擊種族歧視方面所做的遠遠超出了與他同時代的其他作家們。 答案:A Ⅳ.任務(wù)型閱讀 42.An oral history is a piece of writing based on an interview with a person who has lived through a significant period in history or experienced a historical event.His or her memories provide a personal view of the past. The first

46、goal of all oral histories is to record stories about a specific subject.That subject may be a historical event like the D-Day invasion.It may be a period of history like the Depression,or a social or cultural trend,such as child labour.The first step in an oral history project,therefore,is to selec

47、t a subject that interests you and is of historical significance. Before attempting to identify people to interview for your project,you must first gather background information about the subject.The Library of Congress,which houses thousands of oral histories,provides these tips for researching yo

48、ur subject. Before entering the library or logging onto the Internet,decide on key words to use in your search.Use detailed search words.For example,search for rock and roll of the ‘60s instead of the more general term music. Look through newspaper and magazine articles and Internet websites to id

49、entify documents that are related to your subject.Make copies of those that will help you plan your interview questions and discard all others. Discuss what you’ve read about your subject surprised you.What aspect of your subject would you like to know more about?Asking questions like these will he

50、lp you to focus on your subject and to identify the voice or voices you need to interview. Oral histories are as much about self as they are about subject.One goal of an oral history interview is to find out what happened.A second and equally important goal is to discover how people reacted to or w

51、ere affected by what happened.The person you select to interview,therefore,should have had some experience with the subject—either as a participant or a witness. Once you have identified one or more people to interview,begin preparing your questions.The best questions are open-ended,encouraging the

52、 speaker to respond with more than a mere “Yes” or “No”.For example,an interviewer might have asked Clarence Hughart this question about his D-Day experience:Were you scared?That question,however,would probably not have elicited the sort of dramatic storytelling that Hughart provided. Make a list o

53、f ten possible interview questions.The first two or three should be fairly general,asking the interviewee to talk about his or her childhood,perhaps.These kinds of questions put people at ease.Save more sensitive questions until the interview has been underway for five,ten,or fifteen minutes or more

54、. After the interview come the final steps:writing a summary of the interview and then shaping it into a finished piece of writing. 答案:42significant　43historical　44interesting　45Identify　46Shape　47on/what　48log　49related/relevant　50witness　51Starting/Beginning Ⅴ.書面表達 52.請根據(jù)下列四幅圖畫用英語寫篇故事,并簡要談?wù)勀?/p>

56、ent to the small woods not far from town to draw from nature,taking along with a drawing board.When he got there,he found that only one tree remained.“One is better than nothing,”he comforted himself.So he began to put up his board in order to draw it quickly.At that time,a young man carrying an axe

57、 on his shoulder was walking towards the tree.He cut it down and pulled it away in no time. When Tom got ready and turned back to draw,he found the only tree was missing.“Dear me! Where on earth is the tree?”Tom wondered,puzzled and disappointed. What Tom saw is a reminder to all of us that we human beings are destroying the earth without taking our responsibilities into consideration.As far as I’m concerned,measures should be taken to protect the environment,or nobody could survive in the near future. 11
