This famous line from a Tang poem inspired Ma Boyong's historical novel The Story of Lychees Delivered to Chang'an.Set in the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong wanted to please his favorite concubine(妃子)，Yang Guifei, by having fresh lychees delivered from Lingnan(modern-day Guangdong) to Chang'an, the capital city. However, this seemingly(看似) simple wish became an almost impossible task: lychees spoil within three days, and the journey covered over 2,500 kilometers across rugged mountains and rivers. Li Shande, a low-ranking (低级的)official in Chang'an, was assigned to complete this task before Yang Guifei's birthday. Despite fearing the difficulty, Li refused to back down. "Even if I fail," he said, "I must know how far l am from the goal." His determination echoed the spirit of modern students striving for the high school entrance examination or personal dreams. Li Shande faced the challenge with wisdom and courage. He used scientific methods-testing routes,improving preservation (保存)techniques (such as using ice and sealed jars), and creating a color-coded(用不同颜色标记的)tracking system to monitor the freshness of the lychees. After numerous trials, he miraculously(奇迹般地)delivered the lychees in 11 days. But behind this success lay a heavy price: witnessing the burden placed on the common people to satisfy the royal demand, Li bravely spoke out against the injustice, showing moral courage beyond personal interests. Although set in the Tang Dynasty, this story reflects modern life. Li Shande's struggles with housing pressure and unfair work assignments resonate(产生共鸣)with the challenges faced by today's young people. His journey teaches us that true growth doesn't only come from success but also from the determination to move forward in the face of difficulties. 1. What made delivering fresh lychees from Lingnan to Chang'an an almost impossible task? A.The high cost of transportation. B. The long distance and short freshness period of lychees. C. The lack of preservation technology at that time. D.The opposition from local officials. 2. What does Li Shande's words "Even if i fail, I must know how far I am from the goal" show? A. His fear of failure. B. His love for lychees. C. His determination to try. D. His respect for the emperor. 3. How did Li Shande manage to deliver the lychees? A. By asking for help from powerful officials. B. By using scientific methods and continuous trials. C. By traveling day and night without rest. D. By stealing advanced preservation techniques. 4. What did Li Shande do after successfully delivering the lychees? A. He asked for a big reward from the emperor. B. He retired and lived a peaceful life. C. He spoke out against the harm to the common people. D.He continued to serve the royal family loyally. 5. What can we learn from Li Shande? A. Success is the most important thing. B. We should give up when we face difficulties. C. True growth comes fron challenges. D. Helping the royal family is the ultimate duty. 重难点单词 音标 词性 中文释义 stirrup /ˈstɜ:rəp/ n. 马镫（骑马时脚踏的器具） imperial /ɪmˈpɪəriəl/ adj. 皇帝的；帝国的 lychee /ˈlaɪtʃi:/ n. 荔枝 seemingly /ˈsi:mɪŋli/ adv. 看似；表面上 low-ranking /ˌləʊˈræŋkɪŋ/ adj. 低级别的 concubine /ˈkɒŋkjubaɪn/ n. 妃子；妾 miraculously /mɪˈrækjələsli/ adv. 奇迹般地 长难句解析 原句：（第三段第四句）But behind this success lay a heavy price: witnessing the burden placed on the common people to satisfy the royal demand, Li bravely spoke out against the injustice. 译文：但成功的背后是沉重的代价：目睹百姓为满足皇家需求承受的负担，李善德勇敢地抗议不公。 分析：倒装结构：正常语序为"A heavy price lay behind this success"，倒装强调"price"。分词短语："witnessing..."作伴随状语，说明李善德抗议的原因。高级词汇："injustice"（不公）替换常见词"unfairness"。 例句：Behind her high score lay endless effort: realizing the stress caused by exams, she openly criticized the education system. "高分的背后是无尽努力：意识到考试带来的压力，她公开批评教育体系。" 【答案与解析】 【参考答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．C 5.C 【导语】本文通过唐代"一骑红尘妃子笑"的历史典故，讲述了长安小吏李善德克服重重困难为杨贵妃运送鲜荔枝的故事，展现了古代版"不可能的任务"及其现代启示。 1. 细节理解题。根据原文"lychees spoil within three days, and the journey covered over 2,500 kilometers across rugged mountains and rivers"可知，荔枝保鲜期短且运输距离长是主要困难。故选B。 2. 句意理解题。通过李善德"就算失败，我也要知道倒在离终点多远的地方"这句话，结合后文"恰如现代学子迎战中考的执着"的比喻可知，体现的是不惧失败的决心。故选C。 3. 细节理解题。根据"He used scientific methods-testing routes...and creating a color-coded tracking system"等描述可知其成功关键在于科学方法。故选B。 4. 情节理解题。根据"witnessing the burden placed on the common people...spoke out against the injustice"可知他后续为民请命。故选C。 5. 主旨理解题。通过结尾"true growth doesn't only come from success but also from the determination"可知核心启示。故选C。 译文 “一骑红尘妃子笑，无人知是荔枝来。”唐代诗人杜牧的这句名句，激发了马伯庸创作历史小说《长安的荔枝》的灵感。故事发生在唐朝，玄宗皇帝为博宠妃杨贵妃欢心，命人将鲜荔枝从岭南（今广东）运往都城长安。然而这个看似简单的愿望却成了几乎不可能完成的任务：荔枝三日色变，而跨越崇山峻岭的驿道竟有五千余里。 长安城九品小吏李善德被迫接下这个限期完成的任务——必须在贵妃诞辰前将鲜荔枝运抵长安。面对这道催命符，他虽心生惧意却不肯退缩：“就算失败，我也想知道自己倒在距离终点多远的地方。”这份孤勇恰如现代学子迎战中考或追逐梦想时的执着。 李善德以智慧与勇气迎接挑战：他运用科学方法测试运输路线、改良保鲜技法（如冰镇密封），首创色标体系监控荔枝鲜度。历经无数次试验后，最终以十一日神速完成任务。但这场奇迹背后却代价沉重——目睹百姓为满足皇家需求承受的沉重负担，李善德毅然为民发声，展现出超越个人得失的道义勇气。 这个发生在唐朝的故事，映照着现代人的生存图景。李善德面对宅邸贷款压力、职场不公分配的困境，与当代年轻人的际遇遥相共鸣。他的故事启示我们：真正的成长不仅来自成功，更源于直面困境时永不言弃的奋进姿态。 话题写作佳句积累累 1.

Mr. Adams was very     1     (pride) of it. He gladly explained its workings to everyone. Ralph Spencer listened     2     (polite), but did not seem very interested. The two children, May and Agatha, were very     3     (excite) to see these shining things. At this time, Ben Price, a policeman from Little Rock, walked inside the bank hall. He told the clerk that he was just waiting for a man he     4     (know). Suddenly there was a scream (尖叫). May locked Agatha in the vault. The old banker cried, “Oh, the door can’t     5     (open). And the clock I hadn’t started yet.” During the following silence they could just hear the girl wildly     6     (shout) in the dark vault. “Only one man in Little Rock can open this door,” said Mr. Adams. “Ralph, the child can’t stand it long in there. There isn’t enough air, and besides, she     7     (die) of fear. What shall we do?” Ralph threw off his coat and pulled up his shirt sleeves. With that act Ralph Spencer disappeared and Jimmy Valentine took     8     ( he) place. “Get away from the door, all of you,” he said. Then he set his suitcase on the floor and laid out all the tools. In ten minutes, breaking his own burglarious (入室盗窃的) record, he opened the door. Jimmy put on his coat and walked towards the front door. A big man stood in his way. “Hello, Ben!” said Jimmy, with a strange smile. “Well, let’s     9     (go).” And then Ben Price acted rather strangely. “Guess you’re mistaken, sir,” he said. “I don’t think we’ve met each other before. Your carriage     10     (wait) for you, isn’t it?” 【参考答案】1. proud 2. politely 3. excited 4. knew 5. be opened 6. shouting/shouted 7. will die 8. his 9. go 10. is waiting 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了吉米·瓦伦丁偷银行保险箱的故事。 1. 句意:亚当斯先生对此感到非常自豪。be proud of“以.…白豪”，固定搭配。故填proud。 2. 句意:拉尔夫·斯宾塞礼貌地听着，但似乎不太感兴趣。分析句子可知，此处应用副词修饰动词listened。故填politely。 3. 句意:两个孩子，梅和阿加莎，看到这些闪亮的东西非常兴奋。由“The two children, May and Agatha, were ver..to see”可知，此处应用形容词作表语，主语为人，应用excited。故填excited。 4. 句意:他告诉店员他只是在等一个他认识的人。由“told”可知，句子为一般过去时，谓语动词应用过去式。故填knew。 5. 句意:老银行家叫道:“噢，门打不开了。我还没开始计时呢。”主语the door与动词open之间存在被动关系，门是被打开，此处是情态动词的被动语态，其结构为:情态动词+be+过去分词。故填be opened。 6. 句意:在接下来的沉默中，他们只听到那个女孩在黑暗的金库里疯狂地喊叫。hear sb.doing sth."听见某人正在做某事”，固定用法或hear后接省略that的宾语从句，用shouted作谓语。故填shouting/shouted。 7. 句意:“拉尔夫，这孩子在里面受不了太久。空气不够，再说，她会吓死的。我们怎么办呢?"由"There isn'tenough al andbesides, she..offear”可知，叙述的事情还未发生，应用一般将来时，其结构为:wil+动词原形。故填will die。 8. 句意:拉尔夫·斯宾塞就这样消失了，吉米:瓦伦丁取代了他的位置。由"..place”可知，此处应用形容词性物主代词his。故填his。 9. 句意:“好吧，我们走吧。”let’s后跟动词原形。故填go。 10. 句意:“我想你弄错了，先生，”他说。“我想我们以前没有见过面。你的马车在等着你，是吗?"由“Your carriage...for you, ”“isn't it”可知，此处指你的马车正在等待你，应用现在进行时，其结构为:am/s/are+现在分词。故填is waiting。 Passage2 （2025·江苏扬州·中考真题） Inside the hall, the door was shut, and the key lay on the glass stand. Poor Alice, who was about one foot high after taking some drink, found a cake on the floor. She went up and soon ate all the cake. “How strange! How tall I am!” said Alice. She looked down at her feet—they seemed so far off. In fact, she was now over nine feet high, which meant she still couldn’t get through the door. She sat down, and had a good cry till there was a large pool all round her. Suddenly, she heard the sound of feet not far off. It was the Rabbit that had come back, with a fan in his hand. Alice felt so in need of help from someone, that when he came near, she called out, “If you please, sir....” The Rabbit started as if shot, dropped the fan and ran off as fast as possible. Alice picked up the fan and as the hall was hot, she fanned herself. “Dear, dear! How strange all things are today! I do wish to get out of the hall! ” she said. Then she noticed herself in the glass—she was now not more than two feet high, and still shrinking quite fast. That was the fan! She realized this and dropped it at once, or she would shrink to the size of an ant soon. Alice was in a sad fear at the quick change. “Things are worse,” said the poor girl, “I was never so small as this. How can I get out?” As she said these words, she lost her footsteps and was up to her chin (下巴) in salt water—her own tears. Just then Alice noticed a mouse swimming towards her. “Will it be useful now to speak to this mouse? All things are so strange here. I should think maybe it can talk. At least there’s no harm to try.” So she swam up. —— Adapted from Alice in Wonderland 1. Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. Alice ate up a cake. b.

How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me only through touch. If I can get so much pleasure from touch, how much more beauty must be found by sight (视力)? And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes for just three days. On the first day, I should want to see the people who have made my life worth living and the books which have been read to me. In the afternoon, I should take a walk in the woods and admire the beauties of nature. That night, I should not be able to sleep. On my second day, I should go to the museums to see man’s progress. I should try to explore the spirit of man through his art. In the evening, I should spend at the movies. The following day, I should spend in the world of common people going about the business of life. At midnight, permanent night would close in on me again, and I should realize how much I had left unseen. I who am blind can give one suggestion to those who see: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be blind. The same is true of other senses. Hear the songs of birds, as if you would be deaf tomorrow. Smell the flowers, as if tomorrow you could never smell again... But of all the senses, I’m sure that sight must be the most pleasant. (Adapted from Three Days to See by Helen Keller) 1. What makes the writer start imagining the three days? A．Walking in the woods. B．Asking herself questions. C．Seeing natural beauty. D．Touching interesting things. 2. What does the writer want to do during the three days? A．Read books to people on the first day. B．Go to the movies on the second day. C．Succeed in business on the third day.

D．The future belongs to those who are preparing for it now. 【参考答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．D 5.C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，节选自海伦:凯勒的《假如给我三天光明》。文章通过盲人海伦·凯勒的想象，描述了若拥有三天光明会做的事(第一天见重要的人、读书、赏自然;第二天参观博物馆、看电影;第三天体验普通人的生活)，呼吁人们珍惜视觉等感官能力，用心感受当下的美好。 1.推理判断题。第二段首句提到，作者因朋友在森林中“未注意到特殊事物”而自我发问"How was it possilble, I asked myself, to walk through the woods and see nothing worthy of note?”，随后展开想象。故选B。 2.细节理解题。根据第四段“In the evening,I should spend at the movies.”可知，作者第二天晚上要去看电影。故选B。 3.词义猜测题。根据第五段 “At midnight, permanent night would close in on me again,”可知，结合海伦·凯勒盲人的身份，此处是指三天后作者将重回黑暗；据此可以推断“permanent night”指“永恒的黑夜”，此处“permanent”与“endless”同义。故选C。 4. 篇章结构题。综合全文可知，第一段，引出问题，朋友忽视自然之美;第二段，提出假设，若有三天光明;第三、四、五段，分述三天计划;第六段，总结，呼吁珍惜感官;选项D结构图符合题意。故选D。 5. 推理判断题。根据最后一段 “Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be blind.”可知，此处作者呼吁“用眼睛如同明天将失明”，强调珍惜当下的感官能力;选项C“活在当下，感恩拥有。”与作者的观点一致。故选C。 Passage 2（2025·云南玉溪·二模） Charles Dickens was an English writer. He was born in 1812. He created some of the world’s best-known characters and many readers think he is the most important writer of the Victorian era (1837—1901). Some of his famous novels are Oliver Twist, David Copperfield and Great Expectations. 1 His stories often show the real life of the city. In 1824, Dickens’ father went to prison (监狱) because he couldn’t pay money to someone. In those days, the man’s wife and young children went to prison with him. 2 Life was hard, and a lot of children worked in those days. Dickens’ success began with the publication (出版) of The Pickwick Papers in 1836. Dickens’ own experience helped him to write about poor children without a mother or father.

Tom and the other men walked all the way to the plantation. They stopped in front of a house. It was large, but it looked empty and uncomfortable, the glass of some windows was broken and there were bits of wood and boxes on the ground. Two slaves, Sambo and Quimbo, were Legree’s two main helpers on the plantation, and they arrived with dogs. “Don’t try to run away,” said Legree to Tom and the others, “or the dogs will follow you.” “Sambo,” said Legree, “take these new slaves down to the cabins.” The slaves followed Sambo to the cabins. They were in a row, near the plantation and far from the house. Tom’s heart sank when he saw them. Each one had only one room, without any furniture. They had to wait in line for their turn to cook a very poor meal. Then they all went to sleep on the floor in the cabins. Every day, from early in the morning until late in the evening, under the hot sun the slaves picked cotton. When they finished, Legree weighed it, and there was whipping (鞭打) for the slaves who didn’t pick enough cotton. Tom learnt to pick cotton quickly. One day, Tom noticed an older slave Martha was in pain and slow. Her sack was almost empty. Tom went near Martha, and silently put a lot of his cotton into her sack. “No don’t!” said the woman, looking surprised. “They will punish you.” Just then Sambo arrived, kicked Martha and whipped Tom across his face. Martha fell down. “Work faster, you animal!” But when he left, Tom quickly gave her some more of his cotton. Suddenly, the beautiful new woman put a large quantity of cotton in Tom’s sack.

This famous line from a Tang poem inspired Ma Boyong's historical novel The Story of Lychees Delivered to Chang'an.Set in the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong wanted to please his favorite concubine(妃子)，Yang Guifei, by having fresh lychees delivered from Lingnan(modern-day Guangdong) to Chang'an, the capital city. However, this seemingly(看似) simple wish became an almost impossible task: lychees spoil within three days, and the journey covered over 2,500 kilometers across rugged mountains and rivers. Li Shande, a low-ranking (低级的)official in Chang'an, was assigned to complete this task before Yang Guifei's birthday. Despite fearing the difficulty, Li refused to back down. "Even if I fail," he said, "I must know how far l am from the goal." His determination echoed the spirit of modern students striving for the high school entrance examination or personal dreams. Li Shande faced the challenge with wisdom and courage. He used scientific methods-testing routes,improving preservation (保存)techniques (such as using ice and sealed jars), and creating a color-coded(用不同颜色标记的)tracking system to monitor the freshness of the lychees. After numerous trials, he miraculously(奇迹般地)delivered the lychees in 11 days. But behind this success lay a heavy price: witnessing the burden placed on the common people to satisfy the royal demand, Li bravely spoke out against the injustice, showing moral courage beyond personal interests. Although set in the Tang Dynasty, this story reflects modern life. Li Shande's struggles with housing pressure and unfair work assignments resonate(产生共鸣)with the challenges faced by today's young people. His journey teaches us that true growth doesn't only come from success but also from the determination to move forward in the face of difficulties. 1. What made delivering fresh lychees from Lingnan to Chang'an an almost impossible task? A.The high cost of transportation. B. The long distance and short freshness period of lychees. C. The lack of preservation technology at that time. D.The opposition from local officials. 2. What does Li Shande's words "Even if i fail, I must know how far I am from the goal" show? A. His fear of failure. B. His love for lychees. C. His determination to try. D. His respect for the emperor. 3. How did Li Shande manage to deliver the lychees? A. By asking for help from powerful officials. B. By using scientific methods and continuous trials. C. By traveling day and night without rest. D. By stealing advanced preservation techniques. 4. What did Li Shande do after successfully delivering the lychees? A. He asked for a big reward from the emperor. B. He retired and lived a peaceful life. C. He spoke out against the harm to the common people. D.He continued to serve the royal family loyally. 5. What can we learn from Li Shande? A. Success is the most important thing. B. We should give up when we face difficulties. C. True growth comes fron challenges. D. Helping the royal family is the ultimate duty. 重难点单词 音标 词性 中文释义 stirrup /ˈstɜ:rəp/ n. 马镫（骑马时脚踏的器具） imperial /ɪmˈpɪəriəl/ adj. 皇帝的；帝国的 lychee /ˈlaɪtʃi:/ n. 荔枝 seemingly /ˈsi:mɪŋli/ adv. 看似；表面上 low-ranking /ˌləʊˈræŋkɪŋ/ adj. 低级别的 concubine /ˈkɒŋkjubaɪn/ n. 妃子；妾 miraculously /mɪˈrækjələsli/ adv. 奇迹般地 长难句解析 原句：（第三段第四句）But behind this success lay a heavy price: witnessing the burden placed on the common people to satisfy the royal demand, Li bravely spoke out against the injustice. 译文：但成功的背后是沉重的代价：目睹百姓为满足皇家需求承受的负担，李善德勇敢地抗议不公。 分析：倒装结构：正常语序为"A heavy price lay behind this success"，倒装强调"price"。分词短语："witnessing..."作伴随状语，说明李善德抗议的原因。高级词汇："injustice"（不公）替换常见词"unfairness"。 例句：Behind her high score lay endless effort: realizing the stress caused by exams, she openly criticized the education system. "高分的背后是无尽努力：意识到考试带来的压力，她公开批评教育体系。" 译文 “一骑红尘妃子笑，无人知是荔枝来。”唐代诗人杜牧的这句名句，激发了马伯庸创作历史小说《长安的荔枝》的灵感。故事发生在唐朝，玄宗皇帝为博宠妃杨贵妃欢心，命人将鲜荔枝从岭南（今广东）运往都城长安。然而这个看似简单的愿望却成了几乎不可能完成的任务：荔枝三日色变，而跨越崇山峻岭的驿道竟有五千余里。 长安城九品小吏李善德被迫接下这个限期完成的任务——必须在贵妃诞辰前将鲜荔枝运抵长安。面对这道催命符，他虽心生惧意却不肯退缩：“就算失败，我也想知道自己倒在距离终点多远的地方。”这份孤勇恰如现代学子迎战中考或追逐梦想时的执着。 李善德以智慧与勇气迎接挑战：他运用科学方法测试运输路线、改良保鲜技法（如冰镇密封），首创色标体系监控荔枝鲜度。历经无数次试验后，最终以十一日神速完成任务。但这场奇迹背后却代价沉重——目睹百姓为满足皇家需求承受的沉重负担，李善德毅然为民发声，展现出超越个人得失的道义勇气。 这个发生在唐朝的故事，映照着现代人的生存图景。李善德面对宅邸贷款压力、职场不公分配的困境，与当代年轻人的际遇遥相共鸣。他的故事启示我们：真正的成长不仅来自成功，更源于直面困境时永不言弃的奋进姿态。 话题写作佳句积累累 1.

Poor Alice, who was about one foot high after taking some drink, found a cake on the floor. She went up and soon ate all the cake. “How strange! How tall I am!” said Alice. She looked down at her feet—they seemed so far off. In fact, she was now over nine feet high, which meant she still couldn’t get through the door. She sat down, and had a good cry till there was a large pool all round her. Suddenly, she heard the sound of feet not far off. It was the Rabbit that had come back, with a fan in his hand. Alice felt so in need of help from someone, that when he came near, she called out, “If you please, sir....” The Rabbit started as if shot, dropped the fan and ran off as fast as possible. Alice picked up the fan and as the hall was hot, she fanned herself. “Dear, dear! How strange all things are today! I do wish to get out of the hall! ” she said. Then she noticed herself in the glass—she was now not more than two feet high, and still shrinking quite fast. That was the fan! She realized this and dropped it at once, or she would shrink to the size of an ant soon. Alice was in a sad fear at the quick change. “Things are worse,” said the poor girl, “I was never so small as this. How can I get out?” As she said these words, she lost her footsteps and was up to her chin (下巴) in salt water—her own tears. Just then Alice noticed a mouse swimming towards her. “Will it be useful now to speak to this mouse? All things are so strange here. I should think maybe it can talk. At least there’s no harm to try.” So she swam up. —— Adapted from Alice in Wonderland 1. Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. Alice ate up a cake. b.

How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me only through touch. If I can get so much pleasure from touch, how much more beauty must be found by sight (视力)? And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes for just three days. On the first day, I should want to see the people who have made my life worth living and the books which have been read to me. In the afternoon, I should take a walk in the woods and admire the beauties of nature. That night, I should not be able to sleep. On my second day, I should go to the museums to see man’s progress. I should try to explore the spirit of man through his art. In the evening, I should spend at the movies. The following day, I should spend in the world of common people going about the business of life. At midnight, permanent night would close in on me again, and I should realize how much I had left unseen. I who am blind can give one suggestion to those who see: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be blind. The same is true of other senses. Hear the songs of birds, as if you would be deaf tomorrow. Smell the flowers, as if tomorrow you could never smell again... But of all the senses, I’m sure that sight must be the most pleasant. (Adapted from Three Days to See by Helen Keller) 1. What makes the writer start imagining the three days? A．Walking in the woods. B．Asking herself questions. C．Seeing natural beauty. D．Touching interesting things. 2.

Passage 2（2025·云南玉溪·二模） Charles Dickens was an English writer. He was born in 1812. He created some of the world’s best-known characters and many readers think he is the most important writer of the Victorian era (1837—1901). Some of his famous novels are Oliver Twist, David Copperfield and Great Expectations. 1 His stories often show the real life of the city. In 1824, Dickens’ father went to prison (监狱) because he couldn’t pay money to someone.

Two slaves, Sambo and Quimbo, were Legree’s two main helpers on the plantation, and they arrived with dogs. “Don’t try to run away,” said Legree to Tom and the others, “or the dogs will follow you.” “Sambo,” said Legree, “take these new slaves down to the cabins.” The slaves followed Sambo to the cabins.

Every day, from early in the morning until late in the evening, under the hot sun the slaves picked cotton. When they finished, Legree weighed it, and there was whipping (鞭打) for the slaves who didn’t pick enough cotton. Tom learnt to pick cotton quickly.
