Different readers have different opinions. Some people believe a good book needs exciting plots. Others think powerful ideas and true feelings are the most important parts. When Ernest Hemingway wrote The Old Man and the Sea, he did not fill the story with too many exciting events. Instead, he focused on the fight between the old fisherman and himself. Santiago fights against tiredness, loneliness and bad luck on the wide sea. He talks to the sea, birds and the big fish. From his words, we can feel his strong faith. This book became popular all over the world. It tells readers that a person can be destroyed, but cannot be defeated. That is the spirit that makes this short novel a world-famous literary treasure. Many teachers encourage students to read it and think about the meaning of persistence. 1．What does Hemingway focus on in the novel? A．Beautiful scenery of the sea. B．The fight between the old man and himself. C．Lots of exciting adventures. D．Different kinds of sea animals. 2．What is the meaning of the sentence “a person can be destroyed, but cannot be defeated”? A．People can lose in action but never lose inner spirit. B．People can easily win every fight on the sea. C．If you meet bad luck, you will fail forever. D．You must fight with all kinds of fish to win. 3．Why do many teachers advise students to read this novel? A．It has many easy words for beginners. B．It helps students understand the spirit of persistence. C．It teaches students how to catch big fish. D．It is the longest novel written by Hemingway. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，围绕文学作品展开，以《老人与海》为例，解读其所蕴含的永不言败、坚持不懈的精神内核。 【详解】1．原文第二段写明：“Instead, he focused on the fight between the old fisherman and himself.”，海明威在小说中聚焦老人与自我的抗争。 2．结合《老人与海》的内容可知，该句传递的是人的肉体、行动层面可能遭遇失败，但内在的精神意志不会被打垮，A选项符合该内涵。 3．原文第三段写明：“Many teachers encourage students to read it and think about the meaning of persistence.”，老师建议学生阅读这本书，帮助学生理解坚持的精神。 B Detective Drake was napping with his feet up on his desk when the phone rang. He yawned(打呵欠) and picked it up. “Hello?” he said. “I’ll take the case. I will depart at once.” Drake took his umbrella, which was suitable for the rain outside, and walked out into the noisy city. The case Drake hurried to the police station. “We’ve been getting unfinished math problems in the mail,” the Chief said. “They’re signed ‘Guessss Who?’ Every day the number of letters increases. We keep getting more. They are blocking the mail room.” Drake looked at the paper in the Chief’s hand. He looked at one letter’s clue carefully: +32=51 Guessss Who? Gathering Clues “The word guess isn’t spelled right,” Drake said thoughtfully. “Give me the letters, Chief,” he said. “And if someone asks you, say that I’ve advised you not to discuss the case.” Drake took the clues and went back to his office. First, he filled in the missing numbers in a notebook. Then, he wrote the number in a notebook: 1 1 5 5 5 8 10 11 11 14 19 20 “Is it a code?” he thought. “Maybe it’s an alphabet code!” Drake shouted. When he matched the numbers to the letters of the alphabet, this is what he had: A A E E E H J K K N S T Case solved! “This doesn’t make sense,” he said, disappointed and discouraged. He kept moving the letters around. Finally, he had it: JAKE THE ________. Drake called the Chief. “That, Jake, is your man.” “I knew I was right to call you and could always count on you! ” said the chief. 1．Which of the following statement is Not true?

We keep getting more. They are blocking the mail room.”可知，字母的数量每天都在增加，封锁阻碍了邮件室。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“Drake took the clues and went back to his office. First, he filled in the missing numbers in a notebook.”可知，Drake拿着线索回到办公室，他在笔记本上填上丢失的数字，所以丢失的数字是重要的线索，故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“And if someone asks you, say that I’ve advised you not to discuss the case. Drake took the clues and went back to his office. First, he filled in the missing numbers in a notebook. Then, he wrote the number in a notebook...”可知，Drake建议不要讨论案件，他拿着线索，一步一步接近答案，所以不讨论案件证实是有用的，故选A。 5．推理判断题。根据“A A E E E H J K K N S T...JAKE THE”可知，所有字母除去JAKE THE以外，还剩下AEKNS， 最后拼出来SNAKE，表示“阴险的人”，故选A。 6．推理判断题。根据“That, Jake, is your man. I knew I was right to call you and could always count on you!”可知，Jake就是这个人，警官相信Drake可以找出来线索，接下来就会去审问Jake了。故选C。 C Riddle of the Sphinx (狮身人面像) One day, a Sphinx suddenly appeared at the entrance to the city of Thebes (古希腊城邦底比斯). The Sphinx was a monster with a human head, a lion’s body, eagle’s wings, and a snake’s tail. She was sent by the goddess Hera to plague the people of Thebes. The Sphinx sat on a mountain cliff near Thebes. She guarded the entrance to the city. Anyone who wanted to leave or enter had to solve her riddle. Whenever a traveler failed to give the right answer, she would eat the person alive. The Sphinx’s riddle was a famous one: What has one voice, but has four legs in the morning, two at noon, and three in the evening? Many people gave wrong answers and were killed. Their bones were everywhere on the road to Thebes. The king of Thebes announced that he would give the kingdom to anyone who could solve the riddle. After a lot of people tried and failed, a very intelligent man named Oedipus finally succeeded. He answered “Man”. Because he crawls on all fours as a baby, then walks on two feet as an adult, and needs a walking cane in his old age. Upon hearing the correct answer, the Sphinx jumped from the cliff to her death.

C．She returned to Hera and was praised for her service. D．She continued guarding the entrance to Thebes forever. 5．What can we infer from Oedipus’ answer? A．He had seen the Sphinx before. B．He had studied ancient myths. C．He was a skilled hunter. D．He understood the meaning of life. 6．How did the people of Thebes probably feel after the Sphinx died? A．Angry. B．Shocked. C．Excited. D．Puzzled. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．B 5．D 6．C 【导语】本文是一篇寓言故事，讲述了狮身人面像斯芬克斯在底比斯城门口出谜题害人，最终被俄狄浦斯解答后跳崖而死的故事。 【详解】1．推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，这是一个带有神话色彩的寓言故事，通过斯芬克斯的谜题和俄狄浦斯的解答传递了关于人生阶段的隐喻。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“What has one voice, but has four legs in the morning, two at noon, and three in the evening?”以及“Man…Because he crawls on all fours as a baby, then walks on two feet as an adult, and needs a walking cane in his old age.”可推知，谜题描述的是人类生命的阶段。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“The king of Thebes announced that he would give the kingdom to anyone who could solve the riddle.”可知，国王的奖励是底比斯的王位。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“Upon hearing the correct answer, the Sphinx jumped from the cliff to her death.”可知，斯芬克斯跳崖而死。故选B。 5．推理判断题。俄狄浦斯的答案“Man”揭示了谜题对人类生命阶段的理解，说明他洞察了生命的本质。故选D。 6．观点态度题。根据“The plague of Thebes was lifted.”可推知，斯芬克斯死后，底比斯人摆脱了灾祸，因此他们的情绪应是兴奋的。故选C。 D D=Detective Ken, W=Wilson D: So, Wilson. What do you believe happened here? W: It’s simple, isn’t it? A thief climbed in through the window and stole the painting! D: Maybe. Or maybe that’s just what somebody wants us to think. W: What do you mean, Ken? D: Well, let’s look at the evidence. Starting at the window. Now, look outside. What can you see? W: A flower bed with some roses. D: Exactly. A flower bed. And the ground—is it dry or wet? W: It must be quite wet—we’ve had a lot of rain recently. D: But there are no footprints in the flower bed! How is it possible that the thief walks across the flower bed to the window without leaving footprints? W: Er…no. D: It isn’t! It isn’t possible, Wilson! What we’re dealing with here is … a set up! Somebody has arranged the room to look as if a burglary has taken place. Look at the coffee table. What do you notice? W: It’s got a footstool on top. D: Why has it got a footstool on top? W: Because the thief wanted to climb up… D: There was no thief, Wilson! But look how carefully the footstool was put on top of the coffee table. There isn’t a scratch! A thief wouldn’t be so careful. W: No, I see what you mean. D: Who would be so careful, Wilson? Think about it! W: Er…it’s…I suppose… D: The owner of the table! He wouldn’t want to damage it, would he? W: No, no. He wouldn’t want to… D: So the owner of the table—the owner of Riverford Manor—has arranged everything in this room to look like a Burglary. But the burglary didn’t happen.

There isn’t a scratch! A thief wouldn’t be so careful.”可知，肯在侦查过程中发现脚凳非常小心的放在咖啡桌上，没有在咖啡桌上留下一点划痕，他认为小偷不可能会这么小心，将怀疑的对象转向了庄园主人，即一张没有划痕的咖啡桌是案件的关键线索。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“It’s simple, isn’t it? A thief climbed in through the window and stole the painting…Because the thief wanted to climb up…”可知，威尔逊在还没有认真调查案件的情况下，就认定这是一场入室盗窃案，故他是一个草率下结论的人。故选A。 5．细节理解题。根据“What we’re dealing with here is … a set up!”可知，肯认为这次案件可能是一个圈套。故选C。 6．推理判断题。根据“W: So, where’s the oil painting? D: That’s what we need to find out! And I think…”可知，肯和威尔逊推断庄园的主人设计了圈套，而被“盗窃”的油画却不知道去了哪里，所以肯和威尔逊将在Riverford庄园查询更多的线索，试图找出下落不明的油画。故选D。 二、完形填空 A Ted: Gary, why the long face?

A farmer nearby…waited for more at the same place every day. However, no rabbits came and his fields went worse.” 比喻守株待兔，依赖偶然运气而非持续努力，与靠运气学习终将失败的寓意一致。 3．有些学生假装懂语法规则，实际上并不懂，D项“A man wanted to steal a big bell next door…he covered his ears with pieces of cloth, thinking that if he couldn’t hear the noise, others couldn’t hear it.” 比喻掩耳盗铃，自欺欺人，与学生假装懂规则实则不懂的行为对应。 4．学生需要从错误中吸取教训，以免下次再犯，E项“A sheep keeper found that a sheep was gone and he discovered there was a hole in the sheep fold. So he fixed it right away. As a result, the rest of the sheep were safe.” 比喻亡羊补牢，为时未晚，与学生从错误中吸取教训的道理相符。 5．有些学生能分组背诵英语课文，但单独背诵时就不会了，A项“The old emperor liked group music. A man knew this and joined the musical team. But the new emperor enjoyed the music played by every single musician. The man without any musical ability was afraid and ran away.” 比喻滥竽充数，在集体中混迹但单独无法胜任，与学生单独背诵时露怯的情况一致。 四、阅读回答问题 A Liu Yiran, 18, remembers clearly how her schoolmates bullied (欺凌) her. Liu went to a high school mainly for Chinese students in southern California, US. On March 30 last year, about ten of her schoolmates took her to a park nearby their school. There, they forced Liu to take off her clothes, hit her and burnt her with cigarettes. It went on for more than five hours, and it was all because of disagreements over a dinner bill, their hometowns and a boy, reported the Los Angeles Times. When this reached the public, people were shocked. And now the bullies will get punishments from US laws. Three of the bullies, who are 19, were sent to prison on Feb 17. Zhai Yunyao, the main bully, faces 13 years in prison. Yang Yuhan will get 10 years and Zhang Xinlei will get six years. The three students were “deeply shocked” after learning this. They thought they were just playing a trick on Liu and would only get punished by their school. This just shows how ignorant (无知) Chinese students are about US laws and bullying, wrote China Daily. In China, bullying will only be punished by law when it causes very serious physical harm. However, there is other bullying, such as lighter physical or even emotional harm. But people don’t pay enough attention to school bullying, taking it only as small fights between students, according to TangJun, from Renmin University of China. Thus, education about bullying is important, said legaldaily. com, as well as more specific laws and anti-bullying (反欺凌) school programs. “Don’t think school bullying is uncommon, and then it may be solved,” it wrote. 1．Did the bully which happened to Liu Yiran take place in their school? ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 2．How long did the bully last? ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 3．Which newspaper gave the details of the bully case in the passage, the Los Angeles Times or China Daily? ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 4．How did the bullies feel when they learnt their punishment from US laws? ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 5．What is the attitude to school bullying in China according to TangJun, from Renmin University of China? ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 6．What is your suggestion to solve the school bullying? ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】1．No, it didn’t. 2．More than five hours. 3．The Los Angeles Times. 4．They were “deeply shocked”. 5．People don’t pay enough attention to school bullying. 6．I suggest that people should pay enough attention to school bullying. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述刘怡然经历的校园霸凌事件告诉我们校园欺凌普遍存在，应该得到广泛有效地重视。 【详解】1．根据“about ten of her schoolmates took her to a park nearby their school. There, they forced Liu to take off her clothes, hit her and burnt her with cigarettes.”可知，对刘怡然的欺凌发生在学校附近的公园，故填No, it didn’t. 2．根据“It went on for more than five hours”可知，欺凌持续了五个多小时，故填More than five hours. 3．根据“There, they forced Liu to take off her clothes,... reported the Los Angeles Times.”可知，是《洛杉矶时报》报道了这一霸凌事件的细节，故填The Los Angeles Times. 4．根据“The three students were “deeply shocked” after learning this.”可知，在了解到她们将受到的法律惩罚后她们被深深地震撼，故填They were “deeply shocked”. 5．根据“people don’t pay enough attention to school bullying, taking it only as small fights between students”可知，来自中国人民大学的唐军认为校园欺凌没有得到足够的关注，故填People don’t pay enough attention to school bullying. 6．开放性作答，符合题意，言之有理即可。参考答案为I suggest that people should pay enough attention to school bullying.

The Sphinx sat on a mountain cliff near Thebes. She guarded the entrance to the city. Anyone who wanted to leave or enter had to solve her riddle. Whenever a traveler failed to give the right answer, she would eat the person alive.

Their bones were everywhere on the road to Thebes. The king of Thebes announced that he would give the kingdom to anyone who could solve the riddle. After a lot of people tried and failed, a very intelligent man named Oedipus finally succeeded. He answered “Man”.

B．He had studied ancient myths. C．He was a skilled hunter. D．He understood the meaning of life. 6．How did the people of Thebes probably feel after the Sphinx died? A．Angry. B．Shocked. C．Excited. D．Puzzled. D D=Detective Ken, W=Wilson D: So, Wilson. What do you believe happened here? W: It’s simple, isn’t it? A thief climbed in through the window and stole the painting! D: Maybe.

W: A flower bed with some roses. D: Exactly. A flower bed. And the ground—is it dry or wet? W: It must be quite wet—we’ve had a lot of rain recently. D: But there are no footprints in the flower bed!

Somebody has arranged the room to look as if a burglary has taken place. Look at the coffee table. What do you notice? W: It’s got a footstool on top. D: Why has it got a footstool on top? W: Because the thief wanted to climb up… D: There was no thief, Wilson! But look how carefully the footstool was put on top of the coffee table. There isn’t a scratch! A thief wouldn’t be so careful. W: No, I see what you mean. D: Who would be so careful, Wilson? Think about it! W: Er…it’s…I suppose… D: The owner of the table! He wouldn’t want to damage it, would he? W: No, no.

Questions    Answers 1 I want to read a book by Mark Twain but I don’t know which one is the best for a first-time reader. Any suggestions? 2 I find Mark Twain’s humour interesting, but sometimes I don’t understand the jokes because they are about American culture in the 19th century. What can I do? 3 My teacher asked me to write a report about Mark Twain’s life. I need to include his early experiences that influenced his writing. Where can I find this information? 4 I’ve read “Tom Sawyer” and “Huckleberry Finn”. I want to read something different by Mark Twain, maybe a book with a more serious tone. What do you recommend? 5 I’m giving a class presentation about Mark Twain next week. I want my presentation to be interesting and not boring. Any ideas?   A．You could read his short story “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County”. It’s only a few pages long and shows his sense of humour perfectly. It’s a great introduction to his style.   B．You could read his autobiography. It tells the story of his life in his own words and shows how his childhood on the Mississippi River shaped his writing. You’ll understand his books much better afterwards.   C． You could focus on one specific aspect, like his use of humour. Read some of his short stories and take notes on how he makes people laugh. Then share your findings in a brief presentation.   D．You could watch a film adaptation of his book first. The visual images will help you understand the setting and characters. After watching the movie, reading the book will be much easier and more enjoyable.   E. You could read “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court”. It’s about a modern man who travels back in time to King Arthur’s court. The book uses humour to question old traditions and social systems. F. You could try reading one of his travel books like “The Innocents Abroad”. It shows how Twain travelled around Europe and the Middle East, making funny observations about the places and people he met.G. You could ask your librarian for a children’s version of his works. They are written in simpler language and will help you get familiar with the stories before reading the original.
