20．The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a literary masterpiece written in 1876by the famous writer Mark Twain．The story line is simple．The book is like a biography（自傳）of a summer in Tom Sawyer's life．
Tom Sawyer is a smart but naughty young boy living in the small town on the Mississippi River．He is an orphan and lives with his aunt．He has many clever ideas，but doesn't like school，and always likes to escape the school to fish．Tom has a trusted friend，Huck Finn，who few of the adults approve of．Tom Sawyer and Finn have great adventures on the Mississippi River，pretending to be pirates（海盜），attending their own funeral（葬禮），and witnessing a murder（謀殺）．Tom overcomes fear and appears in court and speaks out the murderer．He and his friends finally discover a lot of treasures and they become millionaires…
Mark Twain's writing is based on his own childhood and his personal experience．What makes this story great is that Tom Sawyer represents everything that is great about childhood．It is a story filled with action，adventure，ingenious ideas，love，and schoolyard politics．The whole story is seemingly a complication of what Twain did or wished to do during his childhood．
The book is a little difficult to read at first．Perhaps，it will take you a little while to get used to the 19th century dialect（方言） in the book．But on the whole，the book is an enjoyable read for people of all ages．I highly recommend （推薦）this book for anyone looking forward to feeling young again．

12．Which of the following is NOT true about Tom？C
A．He often escapes the school．
B．He has a trusted friend．
C．He is a good student．
D．Both of his parents died when he was young．
13．According to the passage，the story is concerned with the following things EXCEPTD．
A．love        B．schoolyard politics   
C．a(chǎn)ction      D．power
14．The author's purpose of writing this passage is toD．
A．let readers know Mark Twain            
B．remind people of their childhood
C．tell the story of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
D．recommend the book to readers
15．Which of the following is NOT true？B
A．Tom Sawyer prefers fishing to going to school．
B．The story is about Mark Twain's personal experience．
C．There is 19th century dialect in the book．
D．The whole story seemingly represents what Twain did or wished to do during his childhood．

分析 本文作者介紹了馬克吐溫的小說《湯姆•索亞歷險記》，小說的內(nèi)容簡介，作者的請款以及創(chuàng)作的背景等內(nèi)容．

解答 12．C 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段句子but doesn't like school，andalways likes to escape the school to fish可以看出Tom不喜歡上學(xué)，而且經(jīng)常逃課去捉魚，所以C選項說他是一名好學(xué)生是不對的，故答案選C．
13．D 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文中句子It is a story filled with action，adventure，ingenious ideas，love，and schoolyard politics．The whole story is seemingly acomplication of what Twain did or wished to do during his childhood．這是一個充滿行動、冒險、創(chuàng)意、愛情和校園政治的故事，整個故事似乎是唐恩童年時期所做或希望做的一件事．但是沒有權(quán)利，所以答案選D．
14．D 寫作意圖題．根據(jù)文章最后一句I highly recommend （推薦）this book for anyone lookingforward to feeling young again．我強力推薦這本書給那些期待再次感受年輕的人們．可見作者寫這篇文章的目的就是向讀者推薦這本書．
15．B 推理判斷題． Mark Twain's writing isbased on his own childhood and his personal experience．Mark Twain的寫作是以他自己的童年和個人經(jīng)歷為基礎(chǔ)的，但是不是寫他個人的經(jīng)歷，所以答案選B．

點評 閱讀理解題測試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力，要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系，對未說明的趨勢或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷；或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點理論，對文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋．考生首先要仔細閱讀短文，完整了解信息，準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀點．

11．It was a cold winter．The wind blew all night and the snow was blinding．When morning came，my three children and I got up and made our way to the windows facing north．The wind blew hard from the west，and the snow made it har d for us to see the henhouse．
As we looked out the window，we saw that the henhouse was gone．Our three hens had been blown away by the cold wind．
I looked at the emptiness outside．Then I saw all three chickens sat around the edge of a white bucket．I couldn't believe my eyes!How was this violent wind not blowing them into the field beyond？I threw open the back room closet door and pulled on my husband Roger's long snow pants and heavy winter coat．
I pulled the hood up，wrapped a scarf around my neck and stuck my feet into Roger's very large boots．
I shouted at the wind as it blew．I was alone，save for my children．They stared out the window into the vast white sea of snow，their eyes peeled for any sign of movement．
Outside I heard the sound of my boots as I walked against the wind．This wind was strong．
Getting to the'white，almost invisible bucket was difficult．
As the snow circled around me，I steadily made my way to the soft cluck-cluck-cluck sound my hens always made．When I reached them，I saw that their little feet were holding on to the edge of the bucket，heads bent forward and away from the wind．
I quickly unzipped Roger's heavy coat，gently lifted each hen and put it carefully into the warm inside．Then I began the freezing walk back to the small shed directly behind our house．
The doors to the shed were difficult to open，but somehow I managed to pull them apart．One by one I laid my chickens on the cold floor，and they began to cluck softly．
As I shut the shed doors，my eyes went directly to the window where my children were watching．They jumped up and down cheering，and so did I!
I wasn't some dragon slayer from a fairy tale．I was simply a mom，but the look on my children's faces told me that they thought I was a hero mom．
21．This article is mainly written to tell usC
A．that courage takes on different forms in different situations
B．how the author saved the chickens with difficulty
C．that every mother is a hero in her children's eyes
D．how difficult it is to live in extreme conditions
22．When the author saw all three chickens，A
A．she was amazed by their luck
B．she was not surprised as she knew she would
C．a(chǎn)ll her worries about them were gone
D．she was surprised by the chickens'cleverness
23．The author found the chickens outsideC
A．by searching for the white bucket       
B．by going north
C．by following the sound of the hens      
D．by searching for the henhouse
24．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs？B
A．The children liked dragon slayers．
B．The children watched their mother all the way．
C．The author wanted to be the dragon slayer．
D．The author thought herself very brave．

12．You may have experienced the frustration（挫敗感）of being slapped with a parking fine（罰款）or finding your car held firmly in the place after leaving it parked precariously（不安全的） for a couple of minutes．But now a high-tech car sticker that's designed to be stuck to a car's windscreen，could help motorists avoid such a situation by allowing a traffic warden（管理員）to get in touch with them．
The TowStop sticker sends a text message to a driver when it is touched by a traffic warden，to allow motorists to send a reply and give them time to move their car immediately．It's designed to save drivers time and money by giving them a chance to move their car instead of having it towed（拖） away but relies on the good will of traffic wardens．Frankfurt-based IT consultant（顧問），Daniel Kalliontzis，came up with the idea and is raising funds on Indiegogo to put his?54 （£43）sticker into production．
Car owners can buy the sticker and place it inside their car's windscreen，having set it up with important information，such as their phone number．The message will ask them to move their car immediately．The driver could then type a reply for the warden using their smartphone，which will appear on the sticker's screen．They may choose to write something along the lines of back in two minutes in a bid to avoid a fine．
The smart sticker system will rely on the good will of traffic wardens and critically，a German law．The law states：An officer has to choose the most efficient and inexpensive way for the car owner to remove the vehicle．It could be cheaper for the authorities to contact the driver than to tow his car．

4．What is the purpose of the first paragraph？A
A．To arouse readers'interest in the new invention．
B．To tell readers some ways of parking cars．
C．To show drivers how to avoid parking fine．
D．To disclose（揭示）how traffic wardens fine drivers．
5．Daniel Kalliontzis came up with the idea of the slicker so thatB．
A．traffic can be smooth      
B．drivers can avoid being fined
C．cars can be put in safe places    
D．laws can be carried out
6．If traffic warden wants to send a text message to the driver，he shouldD．
A．slap the windscreen      B．strike the wheel
C．use a smartphone         D．touch the sticker
7．From the passage we know thatA．
A．a(chǎn) German traffic warden is required to remind car owners to move their cars
B．the TowStop sticker will cost drivers much time and money
C．not many drivers will mind being fined
D．car owners must buy the stickers by law．
