B Bassanio looked at the three boxes, but he did not read the writing on them. He looked at the gold and silver. “The world is tricked by appearances,” he said. “People often hide ordinary things with beautiful gold, silver, and jewels. People always agree with those who speak well, even if they say foolish things. Many people who seem brave are really cowards. How often do we believe in leaders who turn out to be bad?” Then Bassanio remembered the story of Midas, the man who loved gold too much. He wanted everything to be gold. He wished that he could make everything gold just by touching it. When he could, it was a disaster. He could not eat his golden food, and he was afraid to touch his daughter. “No, I do not want these beautiful boxes of gold and silver. I will choose the lead box with its ordinary color. It speaks more to me than all the gold and silver in the world. Please give me the key to the lead box. Let happiness be mine.” Bassanio said to himself. One of the servants gave him the key, and he went to the box and opened it. Portia was very pleased. She could not believe it, until Bassanio opened the box and saw the picture of Portia inside it. When he saw the picture, he loved her even more because the picture was very beautiful. He wondered how anyone could paint such a good picture of her. It was almost as beautiful as Portia herself. He looked at all the parts of the picture. He looked at the eyes and the hair and the eyes. All of them were perfect. But Portia herself was even more beautiful than her picture. The writing inside the box told him that he had chosen the right box. It said that he should go to Portia and look into her eyes. She would be his wife.

But Captain Columbus was worried because he knew in his heart that a day would come when his words would no longer help. Before that day, he would see land. Not an eye closed that night. The Captain stood on the high poop (艉楼) and with sleepless eyes he tried hard to look into the darkness ahead. Then, two hours before midnight, the miracle happened. A far-off light struck his eyes. It wavered (摇曳) once or twice, moving quickly on the horizon, like a fisherman’s boat on the waves. His heart hammered (砰砰直跳). But he dared not cry out, “Land!” “Your eyes are sharp, Alfredo,” he whispered to a young sailor. “Tell me what you see.” Even as he spoke, the light disappeared. “I see nothing.” The sailor stared into the darkness. The light had reappeared. “Look out!” “Ah, yes, yes! A light. Over there.” “Quiet! Are you sure, Alfredo?” “But yes, Captain! It is gone now, yet I saw it.” Surely this was not a trick of the light! Alfredo had seen it too. Somewhere ahead in darkness were human beings and inhabited land. They stood shoulder to trembling shoulder, staring into the dark. Hour after hour passed. The sand-glass under the lantern showed that it was two o’clock in the morning. The other two ships loomed (隐约出现) vaguely and in the east the line of the horizon was clearly defined. Then came a flash of flame (火焰). The long-awaited signal! Land in sight. “Land! Land!” Almost immediately came the ringing cry. There in the west, green and fair, lay an island.

They walked along the road, Scrooge recognizing every gate and tree, until a little town could be seen ahead with its bridge, church, and river. Some small horses came toward them with boys upon their backs, who called to other boys in carts, driven by farmers. All these boys were happy and shouted to each other until the fields were full of their laughter. The boys came nearer, and as they came, Scrooge knew and called out their names. He felt so happy to see them all again. “We’re now at the school,” said the spirit. “Only one child is there, left alone by the others.” Scrooge knew who the child was, and he began to cry. They walked on and soon came to the school house. It seemed to be empty, and it needed to be repaired. They walked through the house until they came to a room that was empty except for a small boy sitting at a desk, reading. The spirit touched Scrooge on the arm and pointed to the boy. It was Scrooge when he was young. Scrooge sat down and cried as he looked at himself as he used to be. Suddenly, a man wearing strange clothes stood outside the window. He was leading a horse. “It’s Ali Baba!” Scrooge exclaimed excitedly. “It’s dear old, honest Ali Baba! Yes, yes, I remember. One Christmas, I was left here all alone, and the other boys had all gone to their homes. He did come, for the first time, just like that.” Scrooge remembered how lonely he had been as a child. “Poor boy!” he said, and tears came into his eyes. “I wish,” he said, putting his hand in his pocket, and looking about him after drying his eyes, “but it’s too late now.” “What do you wish?” asked the spirit. “There was a boy singing a Christmas carol at my door last night.

Silent, the men returned to their posts. But Captain Columbus was worried because he knew in his heart that a day would come when his words would no longer help. Before that day, he would see land. Not an eye closed that night. The Captain stood on the high poop (艉楼) and with sleepless eyes he tried hard to look into the darkness ahead. Then, two hours before midnight, the miracle happened. A far-off light struck his eyes. It wavered (摇曳) once or twice, moving quickly on the horizon, like a fisherman’s boat on the waves. His heart hammered (砰砰直跳). But he dared not cry out, “Land!” “Your eyes are sharp, Alfredo,” he whispered to a young sailor. “Tell me what you see.” Even as he spoke, the light disappeared. “I see nothing.” The sailor stared into the darkness. The light had reappeared. “Look out!” “Ah, yes, yes! A light. Over there.” “Quiet! Are you sure, Alfredo?” “But yes, Captain! It is gone now, yet I saw it.” Surely this was not a trick of the light! Alfredo had seen it too. Somewhere ahead in darkness were human beings and inhabited land. They stood shoulder to trembling shoulder, staring into the dark. Hour after hour passed. The sand-glass under the lantern showed that it was two o’clock in the morning. The other two ships loomed (隐约出现) vaguely and in the east the line of the horizon was clearly defined. Then came a flash of flame (火焰). The long-awaited signal! Land in sight. “Land! Land!” Almost immediately came the ringing cry. There in the west, green and fair, lay an island. Who can tell how Christopher Columbus felt at that moment? The long waiting was at an end. The dream had come true. 1．Where did the story happen? A．On an island. B．On the sea. C．In the west. D．In the Captain’s dream. 2．When did the Captain see a far-off light for the first time? A．At about 10 p.m. B．At about 2 a.m. C．At midnight. D．In the morning. 3．During that night, how did Captain Columbus’ feelings change? A．Worried → nervous → excited. B．Scared → curious → happy. C．Afraid → happy → excited. D．Excited → scared → happy. 4．What was Captain Columbus’ dream? A．Finding the human beings in the sea. B．Being saved by other ships. C．Helping his sailors get the light in the darkness. D．Discovering the land on the horizon. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．A 4．D 【难度】0.4 【知识点】记叙文、叙事忆旧 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了哥伦布和他的船员们在海上航行时，经过长时间的等待和观察，最终发现新大陆的故事。 1．推理判断题。结合全文，尤其根据第一段“Before that day, he would see land.”和第五段“he whispered to a young sailor”可知，他会看到陆地以及他低声对一个年轻的水手说，据此可以推断，故事发生在海上。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“Then, two hours before midnight, the miracle happened. A far-off light struck his eyes.”可知，在午夜前两个小时，他第一次看到了一束遥远的光；根据24小时制的时间计算，午夜是零点，所以午夜前两个小时是晚上10点左右。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据第一段“But Captain Columbus was worried because he knew in his heart that a day would come when his words would no longer help.”可知，Captain Columbus一开始很担心，因为他知道总有一天他的话将不再起作用；根据第四段“His heart hammered. But he dared not cry out, ‘Land!’”可知，但在看到远方的光后，他心跳加速，尽管不敢喊出“陆地”，但可以看出他感到紧张和期待；再根据倒数第二段“‘Land! Land!’ Almost immediately came the ringing cry.”可知，当光再次出现并确认是陆地时，他和其他船员一起兴奋地欢呼。因此，他的情感变化是“担心→紧张→兴奋”。故选A。 4．推理判断题。综合全文，尤其是根据倒数第三段“Then came a flash of flame. The long-awaited signal! Land in sight.”和倒数第一段“The long waiting was at an end. The dream had come true.”可知，本文主要讲述了哥伦布和他的船员们在海上航行寻找新陆地的故事，并且最后成功发现了新大陆；据此可以推断，哥伦布的梦想是发现地平线上的陆地。故选D。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
