本文主要介紹了一個(gè)任性的女孩，她總是喜歡一意孤行。在一個(gè)有暴風(fēng)雨的日子她不聽(tīng)老人的勸告，執(zhí)意要去潛水，結(jié)果遭遇了危險(xiǎn)，好在有老人相救，女孩最終脫離了危險(xiǎn)。
小題1:解析：選D。由第一句可知Diane Ray非常自私且被寵壞了，因此可推斷她的父母應(yīng)該是給她“一切”她想要的東西。
小題2:解析：選B。設(shè)空所在句的句意為“她就會(huì)尖叫、踢打并躺在地上蹬腿跺腳”。故選B項(xiàng)，其余三項(xiàng)不合題意。
小題3:解析：選C。設(shè)空所在句的句意為“她的父母總是屈服”。由前文可知她總是發(fā)脾氣，因此她父母只好屈服。give in意為“屈服”，符合語(yǔ)境。
小題4:解析：選A。設(shè)空所在句的句意為“那就是為什么她穿著昂貴的游泳衣，獨(dú)自在沙灘上”。此題關(guān)鍵在于對(duì)該空后面的對(duì)應(yīng)詞swimsuit的理解。
小題5:解析：選C。設(shè)空所在句的句意為“她耍了一個(gè)大脾氣讓父母去買(mǎi)它(游泳衣)”。allow允許；warn警告；get使得；prefer更喜歡。故C項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境。
小題6:解析：選B。設(shè)空所在句的句意為“他們(父母)回到海灘房，從她耍脾氣中恢復(fù)好情緒時(shí)，他們告訴她……”。與上下文聯(lián)系起來(lái)可知，父母“恢復(fù)”好情緒才能勸說(shuō)她。故選B。
小題7:解析：選A。設(shè)空所在句的句意為“……獨(dú)自去潛水太危險(xiǎn)了”。由本段第一句中“...why she was alone...”可知答案為A。
小題8:解析：選D。設(shè)空所在句的句意為“你們只是不想讓我玩得高興”。have fun意為“玩得高興”，故選D。
小題9:解析：選B。設(shè)空所在句的句意為“直到他說(shuō)話，她才知道有個(gè)人在那兒”。由句意可知選B，not...until...意為“直到……才……”，符合語(yǔ)境。
小題10:解析：選C。老人所說(shuō)的“你今天不應(yīng)該游泳”是建議，從倒數(shù)第二段最后一句話“Oh，why had she not listened to advice？”也可得出正確答案。
小題11:解析：選A。由前文所講的她的性格可知，她應(yīng)該是說(shuō)“你少管閑事”。mind one’s own business意為“少管閑事”，符合語(yǔ)境。
小題12:解析：選B。設(shè)空所在句的句意為“‘如果你去那兒，你會(huì)后悔的’，那個(gè)人在她后面喊”。sorry意為“后悔的”，符合語(yǔ)境。
小題13:解析：選D。設(shè)空所在句的句意為“Diane滑進(jìn)水里，開(kāi)心地潛水……”。happily意為“開(kāi)心地”，符合語(yǔ)境。
小題14:解析：選B。由上文中“白浪開(kāi)始卷入”可知“逆著水流游泳已經(jīng)變得比較困難了”。
小題15:解析：選A。設(shè)空所在句的句意為“海水打在她的臉上，讓她難以呼吸”。根據(jù)常識(shí)可知正確答案是A項(xiàng)。
小題16:解析：選D。設(shè)空所在句的句意為“驚慌中，她開(kāi)始尖叫”。由前后文可知，她遭遇了危險(xiǎn)，應(yīng)該會(huì)大聲尖叫。
小題17:解析：選A。設(shè)空所在句的句意為“……她聽(tīng)到一個(gè)平靜的聲音”。由前文可知，老人知道她去游泳了，從后文可知他準(zhǔn)備好了船來(lái)救她，并且他說(shuō)希望她已經(jīng)得到一個(gè)教訓(xùn)了，因此老人是有備而來(lái)，此刻的聲音應(yīng)該是平靜的。
小題18:解析：選B。有人來(lái)相救，應(yīng)該是感到寬慰。relief意為“寬慰；輕松”，符合語(yǔ)境。注意ease意為“輕松，舒適”，不符合語(yǔ)境。
小題19:解析：選C。在有風(fēng)暴的日子來(lái)到海上，應(yīng)該是危險(xiǎn)的。
小題20:解析：選D。由前文提到的老人劃船來(lái)救她可知，此處應(yīng)該是把她拖到船的一邊。

Mark Twain has been called the inventor of the American novel.And he surely deserves additional praise：the man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism.
I say clever because anti­slavery fiction had been the important part of the literature in the years before the Civil War.H.B.Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin is only the most famous example.These early stories dealt directly with slavery.With minor exceptions，Twain planted his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the surface about something else entirely.He drew his readers into the argument by drawing them into the story.
Again and again，in the postwar years，Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race.Consider the most controversial，at least today，of Twain’s novels，Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.Only a few books have been kicked off the shelves as often as Huckleberry Finn，Twain’s most widely read tale.Once upon a time，people hated the book because it struck them as rude.Twain himself wrote that those who banned the book considered the novel“trash and suitable only for the slums(貧民窟)．”More recently the book has been attacked because of the character Jim，the escaped slave，and many occurrences of the word nigger.(The term Nigger Jim，for which the novel is often severely criticized，never appears in it.)
But the attacks were and are silly—and miss the point.The novel is strongly anti­slavery.Jim’s search through the slave states for the family from whom he has been forcibly parted is heroic.As J．Chadwick has pointed out，the character of Jim was a first in American fiction—a recognition that the slave had two personalities，“the voice of survival within a white slave culture and the voice of the individual：Jim，the father and the man.”
There is much more.Twain’s mystery novel Pudd’nhead Wilson stood as a challenge to the racial beliefs of even many of the liberals of his day.Written at a time when the accepted wisdom held Negroes to be inferior (低等的) to whites，especially in intelligence，Twain’s tale centered in part around two babies switched at birth.A slave gave birth to her master’s baby and，for fear that the child should be sold South，switched him for the master’s baby by his wife.The slave’s light­skinned child was taken to be white and grew up with both the attitudes and the education of the slave­holding class.The master’s wife’s baby was taken for black and grew up with the attitudes and intonations of the slave.
The point was difficult to miss：nurture (養(yǎng)育)，not nature，was the key to social status.The features of the black man that provided the stuff of prejudice—manner of speech，for example—were，to Twain，indicative of nothing other than the conditioning that slavery forced on its victims.
Twain’s racial tone was not perfect.One is left uneasy，for example，by the lengthy passage in his autobiography (自傳) about how much he loved what were called“nigger shows”in his youth—mostly with white men performing in black­face—and his delight in getting his mother to laugh at them.Yet there is no reason to think Twain saw the shows as representing reality.His frequent attacks on slavery and prejudice suggest his keen awareness that they did not.
Was Twain a racist? Asking the questioning the 21st century is as wise as asking the same of Lincoln.If we read the words and attitudes of the past through the“wisdom”of the considered moral judgments of the present，we will find nothing but error.Lincoln，who believed the black man the inferior of the white，fought and won a war to free him.And Twain，raised in a slave state，briefly a soldier，and inventor of Jim，may have done more to anger the nation over racial injustice and awaken its collective conscience than any other novelist in the past century.
小題1:How do Twain’s novels on slavery differ from Stowe’s?
A．Twain was more willing to deal with racism.
B．Twain’s attack on racism was much less open.
C．Twain’s themes seemed to agree with plots.
D．Twain was openly concerned with racism.
小題2:Recent criticism of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn arose partly from its________.
A．target readers at the bottom
B．a(chǎn)nti­slavery attitude
C．rather impolite language
D．frequent use of“nigger”
小題3:What best proves Twain’s anti­slavery stand according to the author?
A．Jim’s search for his family was described in detail.
B．The slave’s voice was first heard in American novels.
C．Jim grew up into a man and a father in the white culture.
D．Twain suspected that the slaves were less intelligent.
小題4:The story of two babies switched mainly indicates that________.
A．slaves were forced to give up their babies to their masters
B．slaves’ babies could pick up slave­holders’ way of speaking
C．blacks’social position was shaped by how they were brought up
D．blacks were born with certain features of prejudice
小題5:What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 7 refer to?
A．The attacks.
B．Slavery and prejudice.
C．White men.
D．The shows.
小題6:What does the author mainly argue for?
A．Twain had done more than his contemporary writers to attack racism.
B．Twain was an admirable figure comparable to Abraham Lincoln.
C．Twain’s works had been banned on unreasonable grounds.
D．Twain’s works should be read from a historical point of view.

China is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Millions of them，all black.Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year，I’ve found the opposite is true.There are millions of cars.However，people still use their bicycles to get around.For many，it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.Bicycles also come in different colors－silver，green，red，blue，yellow，whatever you want.
It’s fun watching people biking.They rush quickly through crossroads，move skillfully through traffic，and ride even on sidewalks(人行道)．Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture，I decided to buy a bicycle.Great weather accompanied my great buy.I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的)．To be safe，I stayed with a“pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didn’t want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide，so crossing took time，skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home.The feeling on the bicycle was amazing.The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel alive.
小題1:According to the author，why are bicycles still popular in China today?
A．Because they are traditional and safe.
B．Because they are convenient and inexpensive.
C．Because they are colorful and available.
D．Because they are fast and environment friendly.
小題2:The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended ________.

B．to use it for transport
C．to experience local culture
D．to improve his riding skills
小題3:How did the author feel about his street crossing?

C．It was lively.D．It was wonderful.
小題4:Which of the following best describes the author’s biking experience?

(2013·高考福建卷，A)When I was 12，all I wanted was a signet (圖章) ring.They were the “in” thing and it seemed every girl except me had one.On my 13th birthday，my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials(姓名首字母) carved into it.I was in heaven.
What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn’t being “replaced”．We’d been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything—so most of the “new” stuff (東西) we got was really just to replace what we’d lost.But not my ring.My ring was new.
Then，only one month later，I lost it.I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning.I was sad and searched everywhere for it.But it seemed to have disappeared.Eventually，I gave up and stopped looking for it.And two years later，we sold the house and moved away.
Years passed，and a couple of moves later，I was visiting my parents’ when Mum told me that she had something for me.It wasn’t my birthday，nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift­giving occasion.Mum noticed my questioning look.“You’ll recognize this one，”she said，smiling.
Then she handed me a small ring box.I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside.
The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations，which included replacing the carpets.When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom，they found the ring.As it had my initials carved into it，they realized who owned the ring.They’d had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother.
And it still fits me.
小題1:The underlined word “in” in the first paragraph probably means“________”．
A．fashionable B．a(chǎn)vailable
C．practical D．renewable
小題2:When she got the ring back，the writer was about ________.

Noah Webster, born on October 16, 1758 , is known for The American Dictionary of the English Language. He has been called the " Father of American Scholarship and Education. " His " Blue-Backed Speller" books were used to teach spelling and reading to five generations of American children. But how much .do you know about him beyond that?
At the age of 16, Noah Webster began attending ,Yale College. Unfortunately, he spent his four years at Yale during the American Revolutionary War, and, because of food shortages, many of his college classes were held in Glastonbury, Connecticut. Later, he served in the army.
Having graduated from Yale in 1778, Webster wanted to continue his education in order to earn his law degree. He had to teach school in order to pay for his education. He set up many small schools that didn't survive, but he was a good teacher because instead of forcing his students to learn, like most teachers did, he rewarded them.
