One of its wings looks broken, touching the ground. Its eyes look scared. So Jack takes off his T-shirt and wraps (包裹) it carefully round the hawk.

Unluckily, his parents are waiting for him. Finding his T-shirt missing, they get quite angry and don’t allow him to go out within a week. Jack goes to his room without any words, but he can’t fall asleep because he is worrying about Falco. In the early morning, Jack takes some bread to feed Falco and goes back to his room secretly. After breakfast, Jack goes to the garden shed, holding a small bowl of water. In the shed, he finds Falco sitting quietly in a corner, the bread still on the floor.

At that time, some owners thought it was fashionable!” “How terrible!” I said. “Yes, terrible and cruel,” said Sir Oliver. “Now I can never brush the flies off my sides or back legs, and all because of fashion. Some owners cut off the tails of their dogs to make them look brave, or cut their pretty little ears to make them look fashionable. They don’t cut off the ends of their children’s ears, do they? Why do they think it’s all right to do these things to their animals?” Mr Gordon was never cruel, and he would not stand by and watch others be cruel to animals. We were riding home one morning when we saw a big man driving towards us in a small carriage, pulled by a beautiful little pony (小马). As he got to the Park gates, the pony turned towards them. Without warning, the man pulled the pony’s head round so roughly that the little animal almost fell over. Then he began to whip (抽打) the pony angrily. The animal tried to move forward, but the man held it back and continued to whip it. “Sawyer!” shouted my master. The man looked up. He was a builder who often came to the Park to do work. “He’s too fond of going his own way!” he told my master. “He’s not supposed to turn in through your gates; the road is straight on.” “You often drive that pony to my house,” said my master. “It only shows that the horse is intelligent and remembers these things. How could he know you weren’t going there today? I’ve never seen a horse beaten so cruelly or with so much anger. What will people think of you, Sawyer? As well as hurting the horse, you hurt your own good name—do you want people to think of you as a cruel, bad-tempered man?” We went home slowly, and I could tell by his voice that the master was unhappy at what we had seen. —Adapted from Black Beauty 17．How does the writer show Sir Oliver’s feelings about his short tail?

I got my traps out of the canoe and made me a nice camp in the thick woods. When it was dark I sat by my camp fire, feeling pretty satisfied but by and by, it got sort of lonesome, so I went and sat on the bank and listened to the current crashing along, and counted the stars and drift logs and rafts that came down, and then went to bed. There was no better way to put in time when you are lonesome, you can’t stay so, and you soon get it over. And so for three days and nights. No difference. But the next day I went exploring around the island. I went fooling along in the deep woods till I judged I wasn’t far from the foot of the island. I had my gun along, but I had shot nothing, it was for protection. About this time I almost stepped on a good-sized snake, and it moved quietly and smoothly through the grass and flowers, and I was after it, trying to get a shot at it. I clipped (疾驰) along and all of a sudden I bounded (跳) right on to the ashes of a camp fire that was still smoking. My heart jumped up among my lungs. I never waited to look further, but unlocked my gun and went sneaking back on my tiptoes as fast as I could. Every now and then, I stopped a second among the thick leaves and listened, but my breath came so hard that I couldn’t hear anything else. I moved quietly along another piece further, then listened again and so on. If I saw a stump (树桩), I took it for a man; If I stepped on a stick and broke it, it made me feel that a person had cut one of my breaths in two and I only got half. There was no time to be fooling around. When getting to the camp, I got all my traps into my canoe again to have them out of sight. I put out the fire and threw the ashes around to look like an old last year’s camp, and then climbed a tree. I suppose I was up for two hours but I didn’t see or hear anything—l only thought I heard and saw as much as a thousand things. Well, I couldn’t stay up there forever. So at last I got down, but I kept in the thick woods and on the lookout all the time. All I could get to eat was berries and what was left over from breakfast. —Taken from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn 26．The underlined part “put in time” in the second paragraph probably means ________.

Inside the box there were some clothes, two guns, and coins from many different countries. At the bottom of the box there was a piece of cloth wrapped around some papers. My mother counted out the coins the Captain owed her. I picked up the papers wrapped in cloth. Then we heard a noise. It was the sound of the blind man’s stick-tap, tap-tapping on the road outside the inn. It came nearer and nearer. Then it stopped. It started again, but this time it was moving away. “He may not be able to see us,” I said, “but soon other men will come and find us. Black Dog perhaps. Or the man with one leg.” “It’s only seven o’ clock,” my mother said. “I haven’t finished counting my money.” “There’s no time, Mother,” I said. “We must go before the men come.” As we left the inn, I heard the sound of running feet. “They’re coming, Mother,” I said. “Run quickly.” “I can’t, Jim,” my mother said. “I feel ill.” There was a bridge just outside the inn.

Nothing! I don’t expect anything from Mother but I’d like to buy a book for myself.” Jo loved reading and she had a passion for books. “I wanted to spend mine on some new music,” said Beth. She played the piano and she loved singing. “I’m going to buy a box of drawing pencils. I really need them,” said Amy. She wanted to be an artist. “Mother didn’t say anything about spending our own money,” cried Jo. “We work hard for it, so let’s buy what we want and have a little fun.” It was true.

When I traveled across to the other side of the island (岛屿), I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, ‘‘Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.” So I decided to make myself a boat, I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole (洞) in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe (独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn’t I think before I began work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn’t move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn’t move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that. That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my sixth year I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive. A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes. My life was still busy from morning to night. There were always things to do or to make, I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals. They looked very strange, it is true, but they kept me dry in the rain. I kept food and tools (工具) at both my houses, and also wild goats (山羊). There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats’ milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn (玉米) fields.

But tonight, when Scrooge put his key in the lock, he saw Marley’s face instead of the knocker. It was definitely Marley’s face. Scrooge stared at the face. And it became a knocker again.

The sound of waves hitting the sides of the Nautilus, which we couldn’t hear when it was under the water. I knew that the Nautilus had surfaced. I would go out and see the sunrise, with the first light of day shining on the moving water. Then Captain Nemo invited me and my friends to go hunting 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 knew these forests were under the sea. During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits (潜水服) 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 must go through a door into the sea floor. It was an amazing experience. We were about ten meters under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. At one hundred metres deep, the suits worked very well, and we could still see quite well. 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.

As he went along the road, he thought, “Today at school I will learn to read at once. Tomorrow, I will begin to write. The day after tomorrow, I will... Then, with what I will learn, I will make a great deal of money, and with the money I will buy a new cloth coat for my dad Geppetto. No! It should be all made of gold and silver. That poor man really deserves (值得) it!” Suddenly, he heard music that sounded like fifes (横笛) and the beating of a big drum. He stopped and listened. The sounds came from the end of across street. “What can that music be? What a pity that I have to go to school, or else...” Pinocchio said. And he remained irresolute (犹豫不决的). “Should I go to school? Or should I go to the place where the music came from?” he said to himself. He thought for a while, and then he made a decision. The faster he ran, the nearer came the sounds of fifes and the beating of a big drum. At last, he found himself in the middle of a square quite full of people, who were all crowded (拥挤的) round a building. “What is that building?’ asked Pinocchio, turning to a little boy. “Read the poster—it is all written—and then you will know.” “I would read it willingly, but it so happens (碰巧) that today I don’t know how to read.” “Well. I will read it to you. The writing on that poster is: The Great Puppet (木偶) Theatre.” “Has the play begun?” “It is beginning now.” “How much does it cost to go in?” “A dime (一角).” Pinocchio was very curious. Without any shame, he said to the little boy, “Would you lend me a dime?” “I would lend it to you willingly,” said the little boy, “but it so happens that today I cannot give it to you.” “I will sell you my jacket for a dime.” Pinocchio said. What can I do with a jacket made of flowered paper? If there were rain and it got wet, it would be impossible to get it off my back.” “Will you buy my shoes?’ “They will only be of use to light the fire.” “How much will you give me for my cap?” “A cap made of bread crumb (屑)? There will be a risk of the mice coming to eat it when it was on my head.” “Will you give me a dime for this new spelling-book?” “No. I don’t buy from boys.” “I will buy the spelling-book for a dime,” called out a hawker (小贩) who sold old clothes.

Can I come in?” Silver asked. But Captain Smollett refused. “It’s a cold morning to sit outside on the sand,” said Silver. “An honest man can sit on his ship. It’s your choice. You are either my ship’s cook and an honest sailor or Captain Silver, a mutineer (反叛者) and a pirate (海盗). Well, what do you have to say?” “We are going to find the treasure,” said Silver. “So give us the map. Here are our conditions: you can either join us when we find the treasure and we’ll leave you in a safe place on the journey home. Or you can stay here, with half the ship’s supplies (补给), and I’ll tell the first ship we see where you are.” “Is that all?” asked the captain. “If you refuse our conditions,” replied Silver, “then we will fight you to the end.” “No,” said Captain Smollett. “We can’t accept your conditions. Now, listen. Here are my conditions: you and your pirates must come to the fort, one by one and unarmed (缴械). You become my prisoners and I will let you have a fair trial (审判) in England. If you don’t accept this, then I’ll kill you all. You can’t find the treasure. You can’t sail a ship. You can’t fight—Gray here escaped from five of you on the ship. These are my last words. I’ll kill you the next time I meet you. Now, get out.” Silver looked at the captain angrily. “I will break your wooden fort to pieces within an hour,” he shouted. And he stumbled (蹒跚而行) down the hill, and disappeared into the woods. “They are going to attack,” said the captain, coming back in. “We’re outnumbered (寡不敌众), but we have the protection of the fort.” The captain then gave his orders. “Doctor, take the door, but do not let them see you. Hunter, take the east side, Joyce, the west. Mr Trelawney, you’re the best shot—you and Gray take this north side with the five gun holes. Shoot when you see anyone. Hawkins, you and I will load the guns and help where we’re needed.” The pirates climbed inside the fence. The squire and Gray fired again and again; three men fell, two were dead, and the third ran back to the woods. After shooting for a while, we rushed outside, and fought them in the open with our swords. We killed more of them. The rest of the pirates ran away. When the fighting was over we went back inside.

At that time, some owners thought it was fashionable!” “How terrible!” I said. “Yes, terrible and cruel,” said Sir Oliver. “Now I can never brush the flies off my sides or back legs, and all because of fashion. Some owners cut off the tails of their dogs to make them look brave, or cut their pretty little ears to make them look fashionable. They don’t cut off the ends of their children’s ears, do they? Why do they think it’s all right to do these things to their animals?” Mr Gordon was never cruel, and he would not stand by and watch others be cruel to animals. We were riding home one morning when we saw a big man driving towards us in a small carriage, pulled by a beautiful little pony (小马). As he got to the Park gates, the pony turned towards them. Without warning, the man pulled the pony’s head round so roughly that the little animal almost fell over. Then he began to whip (抽打) the pony angrily. The animal tried to move forward, but the man held it back and continued to whip it. “Sawyer!” shouted my master. The man looked up. He was a builder who often came to the Park to do work. “He’s too fond of going his own way!” he told my master. “He’s not supposed to turn in through your gates; the road is straight on.” “You often drive that pony to my house,” said my master. “It only shows that the horse is intelligent and remembers these things. How could he know you weren’t going there today? I’ve never seen a horse beaten so cruelly or with so much anger. What will people think of you, Sawyer? As well as hurting the horse, you hurt your own good name—do you want people to think of you as a cruel, bad-tempered man?” We went home slowly, and I could tell by his voice that the master was unhappy at what we had seen. —Adapted from Black Beauty 17．How does the writer show Sir Oliver’s feelings about his short tail? A．By using Oliver’s angry words. B．By comparing Oliver to other animals. C．By describing Oliver’s actions in detail.

No one wanted to go to the attic (阁楼) in Legree’s house because everyone thought it was full of ghosts and Legree was afraid of ghosts. Cassy’s room was under it. One day, Cassy moved all her furniture to a room very far from it. When Legree asked why, she replied, “I can’t sleep. There were noises in the attic, every night, from midnight until the morning. ” “Noises in the attic?” said Legree, worried, “Who is up there?” “I don’t know,” said Cassy and she went to her room. Then she put things in the attic that made strange noises when the wind blew. The slaves (奴隶) heard them and started talking about ghosts. Legree became scared of passing near the stairs to the attic. Then one night Cassy and Emmeline ran away. They stayed near the house and waited. When Legree left to look for them with his slaves and dogs, Cassy and Emmeline went into the attic.

Nobody else would come a-hunting after me. I got my traps out of the canoe and made me a nice camp in the thick woods. When it was dark I sat by my camp fire, feeling pretty satisfied but by and by, it got sort of lonesome, so I went and sat on the bank and listened to the current crashing along, and counted the stars and drift logs and rafts that came down, and then went to bed. There was no better way to put in time when you are lonesome, you can’t stay so, and you soon get it over. And so for three days and nights. No difference. But the next day I went exploring around the island. I went fooling along in the deep woods till I judged I wasn’t far from the foot of the island. I had my gun along, but I had shot nothing, it was for protection. About this time I almost stepped on a good-sized snake, and it moved quietly and smoothly through the grass and flowers, and I was after it, trying to get a shot at it. I clipped (疾驰) along and all of a sudden I bounded (跳) right on to the ashes of a camp fire that was still smoking. My heart jumped up among my lungs. I never waited to look further, but unlocked my gun and went sneaking back on my tiptoes as fast as I could. Every now and then, I stopped a second among the thick leaves and listened, but my breath came so hard that I couldn’t hear anything else. I moved quietly along another piece further, then listened again and so on. If I saw a stump (树桩), I took it for a man; If I stepped on a stick and broke it, it made me feel that a person had cut one of my breaths in two and I only got half. There was no time to be fooling around. When getting to the camp, I got all my traps into my canoe again to have them out of sight. I put out the fire and threw the ashes around to look like an old last year’s camp, and then climbed a tree. I suppose I was up for two hours but I didn’t see or hear anything—l only thought I heard and saw as much as a thousand things. Well, I couldn’t stay up there forever. So at last I got down, but I kept in the thick woods and on the lookout all the time. All I could get to eat was berries and what was left over from breakfast. —Taken from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn 26．The underlined part “put in time” in the second paragraph probably means ________.

When I traveled across to the other side of the island (岛屿), I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, ‘‘Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.” So I decided to make myself a boat, I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole (洞) in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe (独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn’t I think before I began work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn’t move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn’t move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that. That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my sixth year I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive. A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes. My life was still busy from morning to night. There were always things to do or to make, I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals. They looked very strange, it is true, but they kept me dry in the rain. I kept food and tools (工具) at both my houses, and also wild goats (山羊). There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats’ milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn (玉米) fields. And so many years went by. 38．Where this article might come from A．The Adventures of Tom Sawyer B．Anne of Green Gables C．Robinson Crusoe D．Peter Pan 39．The purpose of making a canoe on the island was to ________.

It was very rundown (破旧). And it was so gloomy (阴暗的) that nobody else wanted to live there. The rest of the rooms were offices. That evening, the fog and frost hung over the black gateway to the house. And the yard was so dark that Scrooge had to feel his way along with his hands. There was nothing strange about the knocker on the door of the house. Scrooge saw it every night and every morning. But tonight, when Scrooge put his key in the lock, he saw Marley’s face instead of the knocker. It was definitely Marley’s face. Scrooge stared at the face. And it became a knocker again. Scrooge was scared but he put his hand on the key again. He quickly turned it. Then he walked inside and lit a candle. After that he closed the door with a bang. The sound echoed (回响) through the house like thunder. But Scrooge was not frightened by echoes. He locked the door and walked across the hall and slowly up the stairs. It was very dark because Scrooge only had a candle. But darkness didn’t worry Scrooge. Darkness is cheap, and Scrooge liked cheap things. But before he shut the heavy door of his apartment, he looked in every room. There was nobody in the sitting room or the bedroom. Scrooge closed his door, and then locked it. Then he took off his cravat and put on his dressing—gown and slippers. Finally he sat down in front of the fire to eat his gruel. Suddenly he heard a loud clanking (叮当声) sound. It came from downstairs. Somebody was pulling a heavy chain over the barrels in the wine merchant’s cellar (地窖). The cellar door flew open with a bang. Then the clanking sound became much louder.

The sound of waves hitting the sides of the Nautilus, which we couldn’t hear when it was under the water. I knew that the Nautilus had surfaced. I would go out and see the sunrise, with the first light of day shining on the moving water. Then Captain Nemo invited me and my friends to go hunting 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 knew these forests were under the sea. During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits (潜水服) 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 must go through a door into the sea floor. It was an amazing experience. We were about ten meters under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. At one hundred metres deep, the suits worked very well, and we could still see quite well. 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. 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. 47．When the Nautilus had surfaced, it ________. A．was destroyed badly B．hid in the deep sea forest C．appeared on the sea D．opened gates for visitors 48．Ned decided not to join the hunting trip because he ________.

Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to escape.”和“When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip he decided not to come at all.”可知尼德是因为意识到不去陆地打猎，没有了逃跑的机会，所以决定不参加打猎之旅，故选A。 49．细节理解题。根据“During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits ...made lights that worked in electric batteries.”“Then Captain Nemo invited me and my friends to go hunting in the forests of Crespo Island”“We must go through a door into the sea floor.”“This was the forest. The ‘trees’ in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical. We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest.”和“I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy. We all slept,”可知尼摩船长邀请作者去森林打猎，事先他已经做好了特殊的潜水服和灯，他们必须穿过一个门进入海底，他们看到了神奇的景色，后来他们都困了，并且都睡着了，故选B。 50．推理判断题。根据“During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits that used special air tanks.”和“He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries.”可判断尼摩船长是一个善于创造的人，而根据他带领作者探险海底森林的经历又可以判断他是一个勇敢的人，故选D。 （24-25九年级上·江苏宿迁·期中）As soon as it stopped snowing, Pinocchio set out for school with his fine spelling-book under his arm. As he went along the road, he thought, “Today at school I will learn to read at once. Tomorrow, I will begin to write. The day after tomorrow, I will... Then, with what I will learn, I will make a great deal of money, and with the money I will buy a new cloth coat for my dad Geppetto. No! It should be all made of gold and silver. That poor man really deserves (值得) it!” Suddenly, he heard music that sounded like fifes (横笛) and the beating of a big drum. He stopped and listened. The sounds came from the end of across street. “What can that music be? What a pity that I have to go to school, or else...” Pinocchio said. And he remained irresolute (犹豫不决的). “Should I go to school? Or should I go to the place where the music came from?” he said to himself. He thought for a while, and then he made a decision. The faster he ran, the nearer came the sounds of fifes and the beating of a big drum. At last, he found himself in the middle of a square quite full of people, who were all crowded (拥挤的) round a building. “What is that building?’ asked Pinocchio, turning to a little boy. “Read the poster—it is all written—and then you will know.” “I would read it willingly, but it so happens (碰巧) that today I don’t know how to read.” “Well. I will read it to you. The writing on that poster is: The Great Puppet (木偶) Theatre.” “Has the play begun?” “It is beginning now.” “How much does it cost to go in?” “A dime (一角).” Pinocchio was very curious. Without any shame, he said to the little boy, “Would you lend me a dime?” “I would lend it to you willingly,” said the little boy, “but it so happens that today I cannot give it to you.” “I will sell you my jacket for a dime.” Pinocchio said. What can I do with a jacket made of flowered paper? If there were rain and it got wet, it would be impossible to get it off my back.” “Will you buy my shoes?’ “They will only be of use to light the fire.” “How much will you give me for my cap?” “A cap made of bread crumb (屑)? There will be a risk of the mice coming to eat it when it was on my head.” “Will you give me a dime for this new spelling-book?” “No. I don’t buy from boys.” “I will buy the spelling-book for a dime,” called out a hawker (小贩) who sold old clothes. He had been listening to the conversation. The book was sold there and then. Pinocchio got a dime. While poor Geppetto, his dad, was shaking with cold in his shirt at home in order that his son should have a spelling-book. — Adapted from Pinocchio 51．What is the first paragraph mainly about?

Can I come in?” Silver asked. But Captain Smollett refused. “It’s a cold morning to sit outside on the sand,” said Silver. “An honest man can sit on his ship. It’s your choice. You are either my ship’s cook and an honest sailor or Captain Silver, a mutineer (反叛者) and a pirate (海盗). Well, what do you have to say?” “We are going to find the treasure,” said Silver. “So give us the map. Here are our conditions: you can either join us when we find the treasure and we’ll leave you in a safe place on the journey home. Or you can stay here, with half the ship’s supplies (补给), and I’ll tell the first ship we see where you are.” “Is that all?” asked the captain. “If you refuse our conditions,” replied Silver, “then we will fight you to the end.” “No,” said Captain Smollett. “We can’t accept your conditions. Now, listen. Here are my conditions: you and your pirates must come to the fort, one by one and unarmed (缴械). You become my prisoners and I will let you have a fair trial (审判) in England. If you don’t accept this, then I’ll kill you all. You can’t find the treasure. You can’t sail a ship. You can’t fight—Gray here escaped from five of you on the ship. These are my last words. I’ll kill you the next time I meet you. Now, get out.” Silver looked at the captain angrily. “I will break your wooden fort to pieces within an hour,” he shouted. And he stumbled (蹒跚而行) down the hill, and disappeared into the woods. “They are going to attack,” said the captain, coming back in. “We’re outnumbered (寡不敌众), but we have the protection of the fort.” The captain then gave his orders. “Doctor, take the door, but do not let them see you. Hunter, take the east side, Joyce, the west. Mr Trelawney, you’re the best shot—you and Gray take this north side with the five gun holes. Shoot when you see anyone. Hawkins, you and I will load the guns and help where we’re needed.” The pirates climbed inside the fence. The squire and Gray fired again and again; three men fell, two were dead, and the third ran back to the woods. After shooting for a while, we rushed outside, and fought them in the open with our swords. We killed more of them. The rest of the pirates ran away. When the fighting was over we went back inside. The numbers were now reduced from seven of us against nineteen pirates to four against nine. (Adapted from Treasure Island) 55．What does the underlined word deserted probably mean?
