They watched a group of people gathering around a politician who was giving a speech. “My fellow citizens!” the politician shouted loudly, waving his hands. “If I am elected, I will build new roads, cut taxes, and make our town the best place to live in the whole country!” The crowd cheered excitedly, but Tom shook his head. “I don’t believe a word he says,” Tom told Huck. “Last year, another politician promised to clean the river, but nothing changed. The water is still dirty, and the fish are still gone.” That evening, Tom had an idea. He made a poster with a drawing of the politician and wrote: “Promises are like bubbles—pretty to look at, but they pop quickly!” He put the poster on the town’s notice board. The next morning, everyone saw the poster. People laughed and started talking about the politician’s promises. Some even went to ask the politician when he would keep his words. Finally, the politician had to admit that he couldn’t do all the things he promised. He left town quietly, and the people learned a valuable lesson: don’t believe empty promises. Tom smiled. He knew that humor was the best way to tell the truth—just like Mark Twain always did. 【翻译】 竞选承诺 密西西比河畔的一个小镇上，一天下午，小汤姆・索亚和他的朋友哈克・费恩坐在门廊上。他们看着一群人围在一位正在发表演讲的政客身边。 “各位市民！” 政客大声喊道，挥舞着双手，“如果我当选，我将修建新公路、减税，并让我们的小镇成为全国最宜居的地方！” 人群兴奋地欢呼起来，但汤姆却摇了摇头。 “他的话我一个字也不信，” 汤姆对哈克说，“去年，另一位政客承诺要清理河流，但什么都没改变。水依然浑浊，鱼也还是不见踪影。” 那天晚上，汤姆想到了一个主意。他画了一张带有这位政客画像的海报，上面写道：“承诺就像泡泡 —— 看起来漂亮，但破得飞快！” 他把海报贴在了镇上的布告栏上。 第二天早上，所有人都看到了这张海报。人们笑了起来，开始谈论政客的承诺。有些人甚至去质问政客何时才能兑现诺言。最后，这位政客不得不承认他无法完成所有承诺。他悄悄离开了小镇，而人们也学到了宝贵的一课：不要相信空洞的承诺。 汤姆笑了。他知道，幽默是说出真相的最佳方式 —— 就像马克・吐温一直做的那样。 【长难句分析】 1.原句：If I am elected, I will build new roads, cut taxes, and make our town the best place to live in the whole country! 翻译：如果我当选，我将修建新公路、减税，并让我们的小镇成为全国最宜居的地方！ 分析：这是含条件状语从句的复合句。If I am elected 是条件状语从句（被动语态），主句 I will...country 包含三个并列谓语（build, cut, make），the best place to live 中不定式 to live 作后置定语修饰 place，符合中考重点语法考点。 2.原句：He knew that humor was the best way to tell the truth—just like Mark Twain always did. 翻译：他知道，幽默是说出真相的最佳方式 —— 就像马克・吐温一直做的那样。 分析：主句 He knew 后接宾语从句 that humor...truth；the best way to tell the truth 中不定式作后置定语；破折号后 just like...did 是方式状语从句的省略形式，结构简洁，符合吐温口语化风格。 【重难词汇梳理】 词汇 词性 汉语翻译 politician n. 政客；政治家 elect v. 选举；推选 tax n. 税收；税款 promise n./v. 承诺；答应 bubble n. 泡泡；气泡 poster n. 海报；招贴画 notice board n. 布告栏；公告板 admit v. 承认；认可 empty adj. 空洞的；空的 valuable adj. 宝贵的；有价值的 humor n. 幽默；幽默感 truth n. 真相；事实 实战演练 一、阅读理解 A A Naughty Boy, Tom Sawyer Tom sighed sadly, looking at the garden fence he needed to paint—for skipping school, Aunt Polly punished him. However, he played some tricks. He swept his brush back and forth, making it special and funny. Ben first showed interest, and even gave his apple in exchange for the job. Tom sat in the shade, dangled his legs and ate his apple. And there was no lack of material: boys came every little while—to offer to do this appealing job. When Ben was tired, Billy Fisher got the chance. He said, “I can give you my kite.” When Billy got tired, Johnny Miller came. He said, “I can give you this dead rat and a string to swing it.” And so on and on, hour after hour. Tom had a nice time all the while. He presented himself before Aunt Polly. “It’s all done, Aunt,” he said proudly. Aunt Polly went out to see for herself. When she found the fence white-washed, she was astonished. She said, “I must say, you can work when you’re a mind to, Tom. Now go along and play.” Then he skipped out to play. As he was passing by the house of Jeff, he saw a new girl—a lovely girl with blue eyes and long yellow hair. He worshiped this new angel with furtive eyes. He stood on his hands and then did a cartwheel to show off. But the girl just went into her house. Her name was Becky and she had just moved into Tom’s village.

I lived in a small village with my sister, who married Joe, the village blacksmith (铁匠). My parents had died years ago, so I often went to visit the churchyard to look at their names on their gravestones (墓碑). One cold afternoon, I sat on a gravestone in that churchyard, listening to the sound of the sea. “Don’t say a word!” cried a voice, as a man jumped up and caught me. “If you shout, I’ll kill you!” He was a big man, with an iron chain (铁链) on his leg. He looked tired, and hungry. I had never been so scared in my whole life. “Oh! Don’t kill me, sir!” “Tell me your name, boy!” he said, still holding me. “And show me where you live!” “My name’s Pip, sir. And I live in the village over there.” He picked me up and turned me upside down. A piece of old bread fell out of my pocket. He ate it like a dog. “So where are your parents?” he asked. “There, sir,” I answered, pointing to their graves. “What!” he cried, and wanted to run, when he saw where I was pointing. “Oh!” he said. “They’re dead. Well, who do you live with?” “With my sister, sir, wife of the blacksmith.” “Blacksmith, you say?” And he looked down at his leg. Then he held me and looked down into my eyes. “Now look here. You bring me a file and some food to me tomorrow morning. If you don’t, or if you tell anyone about me, I’ll cut your heart out.” “I promise I’ll do it, sir,” my body was shaking. “You see,” he continued, “I travel with a friend, who likes eating boys’ hearts. Wherever you are, we’ll find you.” As soon as he turned, I ran home as fast as I could. —Taken from Great Expectations 1．What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 1?

He played baseball and basketball 1 . His teachers told him, “Sandy! Do your homework or you won’t learn a thing.” And it’s true, sometimes he did feel like a ding-a-ling(怪人). But what could he do? He hated homework. Then on St. Patrick’s Day, his cat was playing with a little doll and he took hold of it away. It wasn’t a doll at all, but a man of the tiniest 2 . He had a little wool shirt in old fashion and a high tall hat much like a witch’s. He shouted, “Save me! Don’t give me back to that cat. I’ll grant you a wish, I promise you that.” Sandy couldn’t believe how 3 he was! Here were the answers to all of his problems. So he said, “Only if you do all my homework till the end of the term, that’s 35 days. If you do a good enough job, I could even get As.” The little man agreed, “I’ll do it.” And true to his word, that little elf began to do Sandy’s homework, except that there was one little 4 . The elf didn’t always know what to do and he needed help. “Help me! Help me!” he said. And Sandy would have to help — in whatever way. “I don’t know this word,” the elf said while reading Sandy’s homework. “Get me a dictionary. No, what’s even better, look up the word and sound it out by each letter.” When it came to math, Sandy was out of luck. “What are times tables?” the elf asked. “We elves never need that. What is addition, subtraction, division or fractions? Here, sit down beside me, you simply must 5 me.” As a matter of fact, every day Sandy was working harder than ever! Finally the last day of school arrived and the elf was free to go and Sandy got his As. His classmates were amazed; his teachers smiled and were 6 praise. And his parents? They wondered what had happened to Sandy.

I will then choose the next CEO.” One of the young men was Jim. He excitedly went home with his seed. Every morning, Jim would water the seed. After about six months, the other young men had all been able to grow tall plants, but there was nothing in Jim’s pot. Jim knew he had 2 his seed, but he kept watering it. A year finally went by. In George’s office, Jim was amazed at the plants the others had grown. He tried to hide in the back with his 3 pot. George arrived and praised the young men for their beautiful plants. Suddenly, he saw Jim. He asked him what had happened, and Jim told him the whole 4 . George looked at Jim and announced, “ So I’ve decided. Jim will be the next CEO!” The others were 5 —Jim couldn’t even grow his seed! George then explained, “ I had boiled the seeds before I gave them to you. It was impossible for them to grow.

He was smart and loved to read. He grew up in a poor family and couldn’t afford (买得起) lamp oil to study at night. One night, he saw fireflies (萤火虫) outside his house and came up with an idea. He caught some fireflies in a cloth bag and hung the bag up as a lamp. It is said that he spent all of his summer nights reading like this. Another child named Sun Kang also loved reading. One night during winter, Sun used up all of his lamp oil and couldn’t study at night. When he woke up at midnight, he saw the snow reflecting (反射) the moonlight outside his house. “Oh, I can use the reflected light to read!” he thought. He took out his books and read, even though he was freezing cold. Both of these kids later became successful government officials. People were touched by their hardworking spirit and turned their stories into the Chinese idiom Nangying Yingxue (囊萤映雪). In 2012, President Xi Jinping told these stories at the Party School of the CPC Central Committee (中央党校). He talked about Nangying Yingxue, Xuanliang Cigu (悬梁刺股) and Zaobi Touguang (凿壁偷光). All of these stories encourage people to study hard no matter what difficulties we meet. Xi hopes that government officials will keep this hardworking spirit in mind. All of us can learn a lot from these stories. Although they don’t take place in modern times, they are just like the dim (微弱的) light of fireflies—they light up the road to knowledge. 1．What did Sun Kang use to read outside? 2．What did Che Yin and Sun Kang have in common? 3．What can we learn from these stories? 4．Why did President Xi Jinping talk about the stories? 5．What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to? 试卷第1页，共3页 1 / 14 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 5 A story by Mark Twain （话题阅读精练） 模块 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 时文阅读 The Campaign Promise 阅读理解 记叙文 约 250 汤姆用幽默海报揭露政客空洞承诺，人们学到宝贵教训 实战演练 A 阅读理解 记叙文 约 200 汤姆・索亚被罚刷篱笆，巧让其他男孩代劳并获 “报酬” B 应用文 约 200 介绍四本经典文学作品的作者、价格及内容简介 C 记叙文 约 220 皮普在教堂墓地偶遇神秘男子，被要求送工具和食物 A 完形填空 记叙文 约 200 桑迪讨厌作业，小精灵帮忙却需他协助，最终桑迪获优 B 记叙文 约 180 乔治用煮熟的种子选 CEO，吉姆因诚实空盆当选 短文填空 短文填空 记叙文 约 230 全身瘫痪的希拉里独自横渡英吉利海峡，彰显精神力量 任务型阅读 任务型阅读 记叙文 约 200 讲述 “囊萤映雪” 的故事及习近平总书记对该精神的倡导 时文阅读 The Campaign Promise One afternoon in a small town along the Mississippi River, young Tom Sawyer sat on the porch with his friend Huck Finn.

So Pip became my name. I lived in a small village with my sister, who married Joe, the village blacksmith (铁匠). My parents had died years ago, so I often went to visit the churchyard to look at their names on their gravestones (墓碑). One cold afternoon, I sat on a gravestone in that churchyard, listening to the sound of the sea. “Don’t say a word!” cried a voice, as a man jumped up and caught me. “If you shout, I’ll kill you!” He was a big man, with an iron chain (铁链) on his leg. He looked tired, and hungry. I had never been so scared in my whole life. “Oh! Don’t kill me, sir!” “Tell me your name, boy!” he said, still holding me. “And show me where you live!” “My name’s Pip, sir. And I live in the village over there.” He picked me up and turned me upside down. A piece of old bread fell out of my pocket. He ate it like a dog. “So where are your parents?” he asked. “There, sir,” I answered, pointing to their graves. “What!” he cried, and wanted to run, when he saw where I was pointing. “Oh!” he said. “They’re dead. Well, who do you live with?” “With my sister, sir, wife of the blacksmith.” “Blacksmith, you say?” And he looked down at his leg. Then he held me and looked down into my eyes. “Now look here. You bring me a file and some food to me tomorrow morning. If you don’t, or if you tell anyone about me, I’ll cut your heart out.” “I promise I’ll do it, sir,” my body was shaking. “You see,” he continued, “I travel with a friend, who likes eating boys’ hearts. Wherever you are, we’ll find you.” As soon as he turned, I ran home as fast as I could. —Taken from Great Expectations 1．What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 1?
