名著閱讀(二)格列佛游記海底兩萬里 A(One day, Gulliver was caught in a storm and his ship hit a rock, then damaged. He was washed to the beach by sea wave. He walked and walked to find a city, but he was too tired and felt asleep. When he woke up, he found himself in Lilliput and a lot of tiny people were around him.)The Emperor spoke in a high voice but I could hear all the words clearly. His followers and all the ladies wore rich and beautiful clothes. The ground where they were standing looked like gold and silver cloth.His Majesty and I often spoke to each other but neither of us understood a single word. I tried words from many languagesDutch, French, Spanish, Italian and Latin. No one could understand my words, not even the cleverest of the Emperor's followers.After about two hours the Emperor left. His wife, children and their servants also went. There were strong guards around me. This was to stop the crowd of people from hurting me.An officer told the guards to hold six men who made me angry. These men were given to me and I had to choose their punishment. I put five of them in my pocket. Then I pretended(假裝) to eat the sixth man.The poor man screamed terribly. The guards were worried when they saw my knife in my hand. Was I going to cut up the man? But I only cut the binding(捆綁物) round his hands. Then I put him on his feet and let him go. I lifted the other five men out of my pocket and put them gently on the ground too.The people and the soldiers were very pleased with my great kindness. They told the Emperor about it immediately. The Emperor ordered his men to make a bed for me and they had to join six hundred of their little beds together to make one bed for me.At the same time the Emperor asked all his advisers for their advice on how to deal with. They were very worried. If my binding was cut, I might be dangerous. I was eating so much food that soon all the people would be very hungry. The farmers could not grow enough food to feed all of us.The wise men thought that they should kill me. But they would not be able to bury(埋葬) me. My dead body would smell. This might cause much illness all over the country.(Adapted from Gulliver's Travels)1.Why did the tiny people hurt Gulliver at first?()A.They wanted to kill him and got his eyes.B.They were afraid of him because he was too big.C.They thought he would attack the Emperor and his people.D.They liked him so much and wanted to make fun of him.2.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 most probably refers to(指) “”.() A.the guardsB.the officersC.the six menD.the soldiers3.Put the following statements in the correct order according to the story.()The Emperor ordered his men to make a big bed for Gulliver.They couldn't understand each other.The Emperor spoke.Gulliver didn't punish the six tiny people and let them go.A crowd of people hurt Gulliver.A.B.C.D.4.Why didn't the tiny people in Lilliput kill Gulliver finally?()A.He was so strong that he would work for them.B.He was so big and they didn't have the weapon to kill him.C.The Emperor and his family liked him so much that they didn't agree.D.His dead body would smell and cause much illness in their country.BIt was a week before I saw Captain Nemo again. Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had surfaced(浮出水面). I would go out and see the sunrise.Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to escape. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. “I thought you preferred the sea to being on land.”“I do,” replied the Captain. “But these forests are under the sea.” During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits(潛水服) that used special air tanks. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries. When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all.Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room was filled with water, and another door opened. We must go through it, and we were in the sea floor. It was an amazing experience.We were about ten metres under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colours of the shells, fish and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper. Two hours later, we were a hundred metres under the water. The suits worked very well, and it was easy to walk and breathe.At one hundred metres deep, we could still see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical(垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small shrubs(灌木) grew under the large seaweed trees. Some of them had flowers.We walked through this forest for about an hour, and then we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up, we walked further.(Adapted from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea)1.What do you think the Nautilus is?()A.A kind of ship under the sea.B.A kind of fish in the sea.C.A kind of plane in the sky.D.A kind of transport on land.2. didn't go hunting with others in the forests of Crespo Island under the water.() A.Captain NemoB.Captain Nemo's manC.NedD.Conseil3.What's the order of the following events?()They visited the forest.They crossed the large grassy area.They felt sleepy and lay down to rest.Captain Nemo made diving suits and lights.Captain Nemo invited some people to go hunting.A.B.C.D.4.From the passage, we can learn that.() A.Ned and Nemo were close friendsB.Captain Nemo enjoyed the hunting tripC.there were three people visiting the forestD.it took them 30 minutes to walk through the forest5.The passage is probably taken from .() A.a sports magazineB.a book reviewC.a science fictionD.a travel report【參考答案】A14BCBDB1-5ACDBC
