He met Miss Watson’s black slave Jim who also ran away and they became good friends. While they were travelling together, Huck found out that Jim was now owned by the Phelps, who happened to be the aunt and uncle of Tom Sawyer. He planned to save Jim disguised as Tom. It was easy for him to be Tom Sawyer because Tom was Huck’s best friend. Huck went to see the Phelps and talked with them about the Sawyer family happily. Suddenly he heard a boat on the river. “Tom could be on the boat,” he thought, “and he’s going to walk in here and call out my name before I can stop him. I’ve got to go and meet him.” So, he told Phelps that he would go into town to get his bags, which were at the boat station. On his halfway to town,his mouth fell open and he looked a bit white in the face. “Aren’t you dead?” Tom said. “Everybody said that you were murdered!” “I’m not dead yet,” Huck said, “but listen…” Huck told Tom about his adventures and Tom loved all that. Tom thought for a bit, and then he said, “I know. You take my bags and say they’re yours. I’ll come to the house in about half an hour.” “All right,” Huck said, “but there’s another thing. You know old Miss Watson’s slave Jim, he’s a prisoner there, and I’m going to help him escape.” “Jim?” Tom asked. “But he’s…” Then he stopped and thought. “Right. I’ll help, too. I’ll make a good plan.” He looked very excited. Huck went back to the house with the bags, and Tom came along half an hour later. Tom told Aunt Polly that he was Sid, Tom’s brother. Aunt Polly was very pleased to see Tom and Sid. Later Jim was held in a shed and Tom had a risky escape plan. As they carried out their plan, a group of farmers came chasing them.

B A Book Review—The Snake-Stone by Berlie Doherty     The setting: Urban England (the cities), but also rural England (the countryside) including remote English villages.     The theme: The main theme is a teenage search of self-discovery, in this case the search for a mother from whom the hero(主人公) was separated at an early age. It also talks about love, getting on with others, being persistent (坚持不懈的) and trying to deal with doubts, troubles and worries. As the book moves to a close, James’ swimming coach says to him, “You are not like a kid following instructions any more.You are diving like a young man who knows where he is going.”     The characters: James is the hero of the story. He is a championship diver, and has a comfortable life with his foster parents (养父母). Yet he also has the qualities to take himself on a long journey to find his birth mother. The other characters in The Snake stone, James’ parents, his diving coach, best friend, the villagers, people he meets on his journey, are pictured realistically.     The turning point: The turning point in the story comes while James’ foster parents are away in London, and he wonders about the identity (辨认) of his birth mother. The only clue he has is a fossil (化石), “the snake stone” which she left behind along with a note on which she had written: “Take good care of Sammie.” It was written on a letter with parts of an address still there.     The journey: Instead of going to London, James decides to find his birth mother. With help from his geography teacher, James sets out for the remote county village where his mother might be found. James has painful, challenging, but also humorous and happy travels. He finally meets his mother, Anne, and comes to understand why she left him at a stranger’s door fifteen years before. Although the meeting is not long, it leaves him with a feeling of completeness.

If we say someone “has face”, it means that he/she has a good reputation (名声) in the eyes of others. 42 For example, actions or words that show no respect (尊重) to a person may cause him/her to “lose face”, while sending gifts or giving praise to a person may “give face” to him/her. It’s quite easy to find things about “face” in Chinese people’s lives. Just go out to eat with a big Chinese group. Usually, the person who invites you for dinner is expected to pay for the meal. 43 Also, he/she needs to order more food than necessary. If you have cleared your plate, he/she will order more food to “save face”. But in order not to waste food, you need to take the rest away. “Face” is a big thing for the Chinese. What are you supposed to do to make others feel that they “have enough face”? First, don’t refuse an invitation to an event directly. 44 Third, don’t disagree with or question someone’s decision in public. Do you still find it hard to understand “face”? 45 There is nothing good or bad in the matter of “face”, as long as you don’t act against others’ interests or make them feel hurt. A．Well, don’t worry. B．What’s more, “face” can be given or taken away. C．We can see it clearly on nearly every Chinese person. D．If he/she seldom or never does that, he/she will “lose face”. E．Second, avoid pointing out someone’s mistakes in front of others. 第二部分 非选择题部分 四、语篇填词。(共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。 Della and Jim were a c 46 .

He met Miss Watson’s black slave Jim who also ran away and they became good friends. While they were travelling together, Huck found out that Jim was now owned by the Phelps, who happened to be the aunt and uncle of Tom Sawyer. He planned to save Jim disguised as Tom. It was easy for him to be Tom Sawyer because Tom was Huck’s best friend. Huck went to see the Phelps and talked with them about the Sawyer family happily. Suddenly he heard a boat on the river. “Tom could be on the boat,” he thought, “and he’s going to walk in here and call out my name before I can stop him. I’ve got to go and meet him.” So, he told Phelps that he would go into town to get his bags, which were at the boat station. On his halfway to town,his mouth fell open and he looked a bit white in the face. “Aren’t you dead?” Tom said. “Everybody said that you were murdered!” “I’m not dead yet,” Huck said, “but listen…” Huck told Tom about his adventures and Tom loved all that. Tom thought for a bit, and then he said, “I know. You take my bags and say they’re yours. I’ll come to the house in about half an hour.” “All right,” Huck said, “but there’s another thing. You know old Miss Watson’s slave Jim, he’s a prisoner there, and I’m going to help him escape.” “Jim?” Tom asked. “But he’s…” Then he stopped and thought. “Right. I’ll help, too. I’ll make a good plan.” He looked very excited. Huck went back to the house with the bags, and Tom came along half an hour later. Tom told Aunt Polly that he was Sid, Tom’s brother. Aunt Polly was very pleased to see Tom and Sid. Later Jim was held in a shed and Tom had a risky escape plan. As they carried out their plan, a group of farmers came chasing them. Tom was shot in the leg. Jim was recaptured when Tom passed out. When Tom woke up, he revealed (透露) that Jim had been free for weeks after his owner Miss Watson died two months ago. He did not tell Huck because he wanted a risky plan to rescue Jim. 26．What is the correct order according to the story? a.Huck went to see Tom Sawyer’s aunt and uncle. b.Tom told the truth that Jim had been free. c.Tom loved all the adventures that Huck told him. d.Tom and Huck carried out their risky plan. e.Huck escaped and planned to save Jim.

D．Because he loved adventures and wanted a risky plan. 【答案】26．D 27．A 28．B 29．D 【导语】本文介绍了Huckleberry Finn的历险计划。 26．细节理解题。根据“He planned to save Jim disguised as Tom.”可知哈克打算去救吉姆；根据“Huck went to see the Phelps and talked with them about the Sawyer family happily.”可知哈克去看汤姆·索亚的叔叔和婶婶；根据“Huck told Tom about his adventures and Tom loved all that.”可知汤姆喜欢哈克给他讲的所有冒险故事；再结合“ Later Jim was held in a shed and Tom had a risky escape plan.”以及“When Tom woke up, he revealed (透露) that Jim had been free for weeks after his owner Miss Watson died two months ago.”可知汤姆说实话吉姆已经自由了，且汤姆和哈克实施了他们的冒险计划。因此正确的顺序是e—a—c—d—b。故选D。 27．词义猜测题。根据“He planned to save Jim disguised as Tom. It was easy for him to be Tom Sawyer because Tom was Huck’s best friend.”可知后句说到了成为汤姆，因此划线词是“装扮”。故选A。 28．推理判断题。根据“He planned to save Jim disguised as Tom.

It also talks about love, getting on with others, being persistent (坚持不懈的) and trying to deal with doubts, troubles and worries. As the book moves to a close, James’ swimming coach says to him, “You are not like a kid following instructions any more.You are diving like a young man who knows where he is going.”     The characters: James is the hero of the story. He is a championship diver, and has a comfortable life with his foster parents (养父母). Yet he also has the qualities to take himself on a long journey to find his birth mother. The other characters in The Snake stone, James’ parents, his diving coach, best friend, the villagers, people he meets on his journey, are pictured realistically.     The turning point: The turning point in the story comes while James’ foster parents are away in London, and he wonders about the identity (辨认) of his birth mother. The only clue he has is a fossil (化石), “the snake stone” which she left behind along with a note on which she had written: “Take good care of Sammie.” It was written on a letter with parts of an address still there.     The journey: Instead of going to London, James decides to find his birth mother. With help from his geography teacher, James sets out for the remote county village where his mother might be found. James has painful, challenging, but also humorous and happy travels. He finally meets his mother, Anne, and comes to understand why she left him at a stranger’s door fifteen years before. Although the meeting is not long, it leaves him with a feeling of completeness.

If we say someone “has face”, it means that he/she has a good reputation (名声) in the eyes of others. 42 For example, actions or words that show no respect (尊重) to a person may cause him/her to “lose face”, while sending gifts or giving praise to a person may “give face” to him/her. It’s quite easy to find things about “face” in Chinese people’s lives. Just go out to eat with a big Chinese group. Usually, the person who invites you for dinner is expected to pay for the meal. 43 Also, he/she needs to order more food than necessary. If you have cleared your plate, he/she will order more food to “save face”. But in order not to waste food, you need to take the rest away. “Face” is a big thing for the Chinese. What are you supposed to do to make others feel that they “have enough face”? First, don’t refuse an invitation to an event directly. 44 Third, don’t disagree with or question someone’s decision in public. Do you still find it hard to understand “face”? 45 There is nothing good or bad in the matter of “face”, as long as you don’t act against others’ interests or make them feel hurt. A．Well, don’t worry. B．What’s more, “face” can be given or taken away. C．We can see it clearly on nearly every Chinese person. D．If he/she seldom or never does that, he/she will “lose face”. E．Second, avoid pointing out someone’s mistakes in front of others. 【答案】41．C 42．B 43．D 44．E 45．A 【导语】本文讲了“面子”在中国文化中至关重要，影响着人们的言行举止。 41．根据“the idea of ‘face’ is far more deeply rooted (根深蒂固的) in Chinese people’s mind”可知，前文提到“face”在中国人心中根深蒂固，接下来应该是说明这种现象的普遍性，选项C“我们几乎可以在每个中国人身上清楚地看到它。”符合语境。故选C。 42．根据“For example, actions or words that show no respect (尊重) to a person may cause him/her to ‘lose face’, while sending gifts or giving praise to a person may “give face” to him/her.”可知，此处与“丢面子和赢得面子”有关，选项B“而且，‘面子’可以被给予或剥夺。”符合语境。故选B。 43．根据“Usually, the person who invites you for dinner is expected to pay for the meal.”可知，此处与“付钱”有关，选项D“如果他/她很少或从不这样做，他/她会‘丢面子’。”符合语境。故选D。 44．根据“First”及“Third”可知，此处讲第二点，选项E“第二，避免在别人面前指出某人的错误。”符合语境。故选E。 45．根据“Do you still find it hard to understand ‘face’?”及“There is nothing good or bad in the matter of ‘face”可知，此处讲“没关系”，选项A“好吧，别担心。”符合语境。故选A。 第二部分 非选择题部分 四、语篇填词。(共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。 Della and Jim were a c 46 .
