Now I’m in my new home. And I’m happy with this. Everyone here is kind and everything is OK. I have a nice stable and the best of food. But I’m not happy—I miss my freedom (自由). For three and a half years, I am completely free. Now I have to stay in the stable most of the time, wearing straps, a bit, and blinkers. I’m not saying it is bad, but for a young horse like me, it is hard. Sometimes, when I cannot keep quiet, I jump and dance in front of my groom (马夫) John, giving him a good shake. But John is always patient. “Calm down, boy,” he’d say. Then when we leave the village, he lets me run fast for a few miles. This helps me feel calm. Some other grooms get angry at this, but John knows I am just playing. He uses his voice to guide me. I can tell by his voice when he is serious. I listen to him because I like him. We have a few hours of freedom. This usually happens on sunny Sundays when the master doesn’t need the carriage (马车). It is a good time to go to the field. The grass is cool and soft, the air is sweet and the feeling of freedom is wonderful. We can run fast, lie down, roll, or enjoy grass. It is also a good time to talk, as we stand together under a large chestnut tree. ——Taken from Black Beauty 1．Why is Black Beauty unhappy in the new home? 2．How does John calm Black Beauty? 3．What’s John like? 4．When and where does Black Beauty get freedom? 5．What helps you calm down when you’re in a new place? 【答案】1．Because it misses its freedom. 2．He lets it run fast for a few miles. 3．He is patient. 4．On sunny Sundays in the field. 5．Listening to music helps me calm down. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，以黑骏马Black Beauty的视角，讲述了它来到新家后的生活状态。 1．根据原文“But I’m not happy—I miss my freedom (自由).”可知，黑骏马在新家不开心是因为它想念自己的自由，故填Because it misses its freedom. 2．根据原文“Then when we leave the village, he lets me run fast for a few miles.

He spent much time sleeping in most of his first month, but as he grew, he stayed awake longer and he knew his small world. His world was the dark cave and nothing else. Soon he noticed one place was different—it was the mouth of the cave, where the light came in. The light attracted him. He always wanted to walk toward it, but his mother always hit him and drove him back. From this, the grey cub learned more about his mother. And he knew what hurt was. As time went by, the grey cub knew hunger. His mother’s milk was gone. He and his brothers and sisters grew weak and had to sleep while their father and mother were trying their best to hunt. Finally, when the grey cub woke up again, he found only one sister left. Soon, she died too. Later, after another time of hunger, his father stopped returning. The she-wolf followed his father’s path and saw signs of a great fight at the home of a lynx (猞猁). She knew One Eye lost there. After that, she stayed away from that area when hunting, for she knew the lynx also had babies and would fight hard to protect them.

If I do not pay you in three months, he will do it for me,” Bassanio said. Shylock turned to smile. Perhaps this would be a chance. So Shylock went to visit Antonio at once.

Now I’m in my new home. And I’m happy with this. Everyone here is kind and everything is OK. I have a nice stable and the best of food. But I’m not happy—I miss my freedom (自由). For three and a half years, I am completely free. Now I have to stay in the stable most of the time, wearing straps, a bit, and blinkers. I’m not saying it is bad, but for a young horse like me, it is hard. Sometimes, when I cannot keep quiet, I jump and dance in front of my groom (马夫) John, giving him a good shake. But John is always patient. “Calm down, boy,” he’d say. Then when we leave the village, he lets me run fast for a few miles. This helps me feel calm. Some other grooms get angry at this, but John knows I am just playing. He uses his voice to guide me. I can tell by his voice when he is serious. I listen to him because I like him. We have a few hours of freedom. This usually happens on sunny Sundays when the master doesn’t need the carriage (马车). It is a good time to go to the field. The grass is cool and soft, the air is sweet and the feeling of freedom is wonderful. We can run fast, lie down, roll, or enjoy grass. It is also a good time to talk, as we stand together under a large chestnut tree. ——Taken from Black Beauty 1．Why is Black Beauty unhappy in the new home? 2．How does John calm Black Beauty? 3．What’s John like? 4．When and where does Black Beauty get freedom? 5．What helps you calm down when you’re in a new place? 阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。(每题答案不超过10个单词) The winter is very cold and wet.

One day, Mr. Grant and his friend are in our cab. He sees a carter whipping his horse. He shouts at the carter to stop. The name of the carter’s employer is on the side of the cart.

Why worry about other men’s horses?” “Do you know why there are so many problems in the world?” Mr. Grant asks his friend. His friend does not answer. “It’s because too many people look after only their own business,” Mr. Grant says. I am happy to have nice customers like Mr. Grant.

They had reddish hair like their mother, the she-wolf, but he was grey like his father, One Eye. When his eyes were still closed, the grey cub knew his family by touch, taste, and smell. He spent much time sleeping in most of his first month, but as he grew, he stayed awake longer and he knew his small world. His world was the dark cave and nothing else. Soon he noticed one place was different—it was the mouth of the cave, where the light came in. The light attracted him. He always wanted to walk toward it, but his mother always hit him and drove him back. From this, the grey cub learned more about his mother. And he knew what hurt was. As time went by, the grey cub knew hunger. His mother’s milk was gone. He and his brothers and sisters grew weak and had to sleep while their father and mother were trying their best to hunt. Finally, when the grey cub woke up again, he found only one sister left. Soon, she died too. Later, after another time of hunger, his father stopped returning. The she-wolf followed his father’s path and saw signs of a great fight at the home of a lynx (猞猁). She knew One Eye lost there. After that, she stayed away from that area when hunting, for she knew the lynx also had babies and would fight hard to protect them. But the wild is the wild, and a mother will do anything for her young.

Shylock was very angry about this because many people went to borrow money from Antonio instead of borrowing from him. This meant that Shylock earned less money. When Bassanio visited Shylock, he asked Shylock to lend him three thousand gold coins and said he would pay it back in three months. “How do I know you can pay it back?” asked Shylock. “My friend Antonio will help me. If I do not pay you in three months, he will do it for me,” Bassanio said. Shylock turned to smile. Perhaps this would be a chance. So Shylock went to visit Antonio at once.

I will lend you the money for three months. You will pay no interest. Just for fun, however, let’s agree that if you do not pay me on time, you will give me one pound of your flesh from wherever I choose to take it!” Antonio agreed.
