    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    　　　 My favourite great book is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain.Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St. Petersburg, Missouri.He's a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures (冒险).He runs away with his two friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days.With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave.And finally, they find a box of gold.

    　　　 My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead.He decides to go to his own funeral.He hides and watches for a time, and then suddenly he appears.Everyone is surprised to see him but they're also pleased to see him alive.

    　　　 Tom is the hero of the story, but there are other important characters.Huck is an outsider (外来者) and every?one is afraid of him.Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom's best friend, and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.

    　　　 The theme of the story is about children growing up.It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America.Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished (惩罚) for bad behaviour.

    　　　 Why do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but it's still read and loved by people all over the world today.And although it's only a story, Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century, so it sounds very real.Today it's thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature.Go on—read it!

    阅读短文，选择正确答案。
        The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2 September, 1666. In four days it destroyed
    more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together. One
    hundred thousand people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives. 　
        The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King's baker (面包师) in Pudding Lane. The baker,
    with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window in the roof. A strong wind blew the fire from
    the bakery (面包房) into a small hotel next door. Then it spread quickly into Thames Street. That was the
    beginning.
        By eight o'clock three hundred houses were on fire. On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning
    along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old
    St Paul's and the Guildhall among them. 　
        Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire. People threw their things into the river. Many poor
    people stayed in their houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat. 　
        The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the
    fire. With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out. 　
        After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect (建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new
    houses of stone. In fact, the streets are still narrow; but he did build more than fifty churches, among them new
    St Paul's. 　
        The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just of
    the past.
    1. The underlined word "family" in the second paragraph means _______.
    [     ]
    A. home　　　　　　　　　
    B. children 　
    C. wife and husband　　　
    D. wife and children
    2. How was the fire put out according to the text?
    [     ]
    A. The king and his soldiers came to help. 　
    B. All the wooden houses in the city were destroyed. 　
    C. People managed to get enough water from the river. 　
    D. Houses standing in the direction of the fire were pulled down.
    3. It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact that _______.
    [     ]
    A. some people lost their lives 　
    B. the birds in the sky were killed by the fire 　
    C. many famous buildings were destroyed 　
    D. the King's bakery was burned down
    4. Why did the writer cite (引用) Samuel Pepys?
    [     ]
    A. Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire. 　
    B. Because Pepys also wrote about the fire. 　
    C. To show that poor people suffered most. 　
    D. To give the reader a clearer picture of the fire.
    5. Which of the following were reasons for the rapid spread of the big fire?
    (a) There was a strong wind. 　
    (b) The streets were very narrow.
    (c) Many houses were made of wood. 　
    (d) There was not enough water in the city. 　
    (e) People did not discover the fire earlier.
    [     ]
    A. (a) and (b)
    B. (a), (b) and (c) 　
    C. (a), (b), (c) and (d)
    D. (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e)
