In the cave, I saw gold coins in a corner. They were Flint’s treasure! We had come so far to find this. Already it had cost the lives of seventeen men from the Hispaniola. And how many others How many ships had gone to the bottom of the sea How many brave men had been killed for this Perhaps no man alive could tell.
Next morning, we moved all the gold to the beach. Then we took it by boat to the Hispaniola. It was a big job for so small a number of men.
Then at last, one sunny morning, we sailed out of North Inlet and towards the nearest port (港口) in Spanish America. Before afternoon, Treasure Island had disappeared from view, and I had never felt happier to leave a place behind.
The sun was going down when we sailed into the port, and the doctor and Mr Trelawney took me to the beach. When we came back, Ben Gunn was waiting for us.
“Silver has gone,” he told us, “but not empty-handed. He’s taken one of the bags of coins perhaps worth three or four hundred guineas.”
I think we were all pleased to lose the bad man at so small a price.
We found some sailors for the ship at the port, and then had a good journey home. Only five of the men who had sailed from Bristol with the Hispaniola returned with her. We all took a large piece of the treasure. Some used it wisely, but some did not.
Captain Smollett no longer goes to sea. Gray saved his money and now is a half-owner and captain of a fine ship. Ben Gunn got a thousand pounds which he spent or lost in three weeks, then he came begging and was given a job as a gatekeeper.
Of Silver we have heard no more. That scary seaman with one leg has gone out of my life. I will never return to Treasure Island, but in my worst dreams I still hear the sharp, high cries of Captain Flint the parrot, “Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!”
—Adapted from Treasure Island

The first Chinese actor captured (征服) the hearts of many Chinese in the USA．He read a letter by Zhuge Liang (181-234) to the emperor of Shuhan during the Three Kingdoms (220-280) period in the new season of Growling Tiger and Roaring Dragon (《虎啸龙吟》)。
The letter has been read by so many students. We would never have thought that the text written in old Chinese could be so beautifully read in another langunge. As a result, foreigners begin to show interest in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, translated by C．H. Brewitt-Tailor and Robert E. Hegel.
Earlier in November 1979, pupils in England were able to watch a new TV program called Monkey. Most of them were hearing the story for the first time. However, the story of the Monkey King isn’t new to Chinese children in the traditional Chinese book Journey to the West.
As soon as the TV program came out more than 30 years ago, western children became interested in reading this story because the clever Monkey King keeps fighting to help the weak and never gives up.
Chinese scholars (学者) should do a better job of introducing Chinese literature (文学) to the rest of the world. At the same time, we could encourage western schools to try something different.
Reading international literature is an effective way of understanding other people in the world. And the more we understand each other, the more beautiful the world will be.
11．The underlined word “effective” might mean “________”.
A．有意义的 B．有效果的 C．有理想的 D．有情怀的

A．Western children are interested in reading Journey to the West.
B．Reading international literature can help understand people in the world.
C．The Monkey King never gives up in order to help the weak.

5.（2022·浙江台州·统考二模）
So I put on the clothes and practised walking like a girl. “What do you think, Jim ”
“Very good, Huck. Nobody will know you’re really a boy! Ha ha ha!”
I took the canoe（独木舟）and paddled across the river to the town. Very soon I met a woman and we started talking. She told me that her husband and another man were looking for a runaway slave（奴隶）.
“They’re going to Jackson’s Island tonight to catch him,” she said.
I hurried back to the cave to tell him.
“Jim! They know you’re here. They’re coming to get you tonight. We must leave now!”
We put all our things, including the canoe, on the big raft（木筏）and set off down the river for the town of Cairo, where the Mississippi and the Ohio rivers meet.
② We didn’t get to Cairo. We ran into a thick fog（雾）on the river one night and we couldn’t see a yard in front of us. The next day it cleared but there was no sight of a town that looked like Cairo.
“Maybe we missed it in the fog,” Jim said.
③ So we continued drifting down the river because the raft couldn’t sail back up the river against the current.
We had a few adventures on the way but nobody caught us. Our life on the raft was very pleasant and I was enjoying myself. During the day we made a camp under the trees and slept. As soon as it got dark we set off again. Jim made a special platform on the raft where we could make a small fire to cook fish. After dinner we swam in the moonlight or lay on our backs looking at the stars. ④ Then one morning something happened and our lives changed.
I was paddling up a side river to look for berries for breakfast when two men suddenly ran out of the woods.
“Help! Please help us!” they shouted, “Some men with dogs are chasing us! They want to kill us! ” One of the men was about seventy years old, the other was about thirty, and they both had very old, dirty clothes.
I felt sorry for them. I told them to get onto the raft and we paddled back to the camp.
(Adapted from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain)

I told them to get onto the raft and we paddled back to the camp.”可知Huck可怜那两个人，所以用木筏把那两个人带回营地。因此正确顺序应是d-a-c-b。故选B。
20．推理判断题。句子“This wasn’t good news for Jim.”意为“这对Jim来说并不是好消息。”由此可知，其前应是关于Jim的消息。根据“They’re going to Jackson’s Island tonight to catch him,”可知Huck遇到的那个妇人告诉Huck当晚有人要去岛上抓Jim。因此该句应位于①处。故选A。

“If he wanted to keep them after he was dead, why wasn’t he a good man when he was alive If he had been, he would have had someone to look after him. He would not have died alone.”

Dickon and Mary’s seeds（种子）grew and the roses—the roses! From small buds they grew into large flowers and filled the air with their perfume.
Colin saw it all. He watched the changes as they happened. Dickon pushed his wheelchair to the garden every morning and he spent the day there. Sometimes Colin sat on the grass watching the insects. One day, he watched a mole（鼹鼠）digging a hole. He learnt a lot of things about the ways of these insects and animals. And Dickon taught him about the animals in the wood.
One morning, the children were in the secret garden as usual. When Ben Weatherstaff arrived, Colin said, “Good morning, Ben Weatherstaff. I want you and Dickon and Mary to listen to me because I’m going to tell you something very important.”
“Yes, sir!” answered Ben Weatherstaff.
“I’m going to do a scientific experiment（科学实验）,” he said. “When I grow up, I’m going to make scientific discoveries about magic and I’m going to start with this experiment. Do you understand ”
“Yes, sir!” said Ben Weatherstaff, but he didn’t really understand.
“I believe that there is magic in everything.” continued Colin. “Dickon knows some magic. He charms animals and people. Mary also knows a bit of magic because she was born in India. There’s magic in the garden, too. I’m going to try and put some in me because I want to be well and strong. I’m going to say—Magic is in me! And you must all say it, too. That is my experiment. Are you going to help, Ben Weatherstaff ”
“Yes, sir!” answered Ben Weatherstaff.
They sat down in a circle. The crow, the fox, the squirrels and the lamb were very curious.
“Now, let’s begin,” Colin said, and they all started chanting（吟唱）.
“Magic is in me. Magic is in me. Magic is in all of us.”
Then Colin stood up and walked round the garden. He went in front with Dickon on one side and Mary on the other. Ben Weatherstaff walked behind.
Colin walked a bit then rested. Then he walked again and rested again. At first, he held Dickon’s arm, then he walked a few steps alone.
“I can walk! The magic worked!” he cried.
“What is the doctor going to say ” asked Mary.
“Nothing.” Colin answered, “because we aren’t going to tell him. No one must know that I can walk and run. It’s a surprise for my father when he comes back to Misselthwaite.”
“He’s going to think it’s a dream,” said Mary.

As we walked down the shore, Ben Gunn told his story. “I was alone here for years,” he said. “One day, I found the skeleton. I saw it was pointing to a tree. I dug around that tree and found the treasure. I was living in a cave, so I took the treasure to the cave. This morning, when Long John Silver and his men came to look for the treasure, I showed myself to one of them. He thought I was a ghost.” Ben laughed. “He ran off, and this gave me the time to get back to the squire (乡绅) and the doctor. They were waiting at the cave.”
“Now I know,” I said to the doctor, “why you gave the map to Silver.”
“It was useless by then,” the doctor said. “There was no buried treasure. Ben Gunn had it. My plan was to get Long John Silver and his men away from the stockade (栅栏). We could then get some stores from it.”
When we got back to the cave, the squire was waiting for us.
“Three of the mutineers (反叛者) got away,” the doctor told him. “But if we hurry, we can get to the boat before them. They ran back to the stockade on the other side of the island. We are nearer to the boat than they are.”
I went to the cave. The captain was lying inside it next to the treasure—a pile of gold coins.
“Hello, Jim,” he said. “I am pleased to see you. But I don’t think you or I will be going to see again.”
That night, the captain died. We carried the treasure down to the boat. We lit a fire on the shore and had a fine meal together. We were not afraid of the three mutineers. We had pistols (手枪). They had none. There were more of us than of them.
The next morning, we went in the boat towards the Hispaniola. We didn’t care about the three men. We left them on the island.
I will not tell you about the journey home. Nothing important happened. But as soon as we got to Bristol, Long John Silver ran away. He took some of the gold with him. None of us cared. We were pleased to see the back of him. We each shared the treasure and used it in a different way.

To Borrow Arrows with Thatched Boats
One day, Zhou Yu ordered Zhuge Liang to make 100,000 arrows（箭）in ten days. Zhou Yu thought it was impossible, but Zhuge Liang said, “Give me three days.” Then he asked Lu Su to lend him 20 boats, and the soldiers put some scarecrows（稻草人）in line on the boats. He reminded Lu Su not to tell Zhou Yu what was happening.
When Lu Su came again to see Zhuge Liang, he found nothing unusual. Nothing happened on the second day, either. In the small hours（凌晨）of the third day, Zhuge Liang invited Lu Su for a boat ride. The 20 boats were tied together with strong ropes. Zhuge’s fleet went towards the camp of Cao Cao. The surface of the river was covered with thick mist（雾）all over. People could hardly see each other on the river. When Zhuge’s fleet got close to the Cao camp before dawn（黎明）, Zhuge Liang ordered his soldiers to shout and beat drums heavily to pretend an attack. But Zhuge and Lu Su only sat inside one boat drinking wine to enjoy themselves.
As soon as the Cao camp heard the shouting and drum beating, they mistook it for a surprise attack by the Zhou Yu camp. Since they could see nobody on the river, they had to order 3,000 soldiers to shoot arrows to stop the unexpected attack. The front of the scarecrows was quickly full of arrows. After a while, Zhuge Liang had his fleet turned around to get the other side of the scarecrows to face the Cao camp. When both sides were full of arrows, the day broke. Zhuge Liang ordered his soldiers to return. The soldiers shouted in excitement, “Thank you, Cao Cao, for your arrows.” After they got back to their camp, they collected more than 100,000 arrows in total from the scarecrows.
61．How many days did Zhuge Liang need to make 100,000 arrows
A．One day. B．Two days. C．Three days. D．Ten days.
62．The underlined word “feet” probably means _________ in Chinese.
A．船帆 B．甲板 C．船桨 D．船队
63．Who created the idea to get the arrows
A．Zhou Yu. B．Zhuge Liang. C．Lu Su. D．Cao Cao.
64．The soldiers in the Cao camp shot arrows because _________.
A．the Zhou Yu camp started an attack
B．they could see each other on the river
C．they mistook the shouting and beating for a surprise attack
D．Lu Su beat the drums
65．How did Zhou Yu probably feel after Zhuge Liang returned with over 100,000 arrows
A．Surprised. B．Bored. C．Tired. D．Lonely.
【答案】61．C 62．D 63．B 64．C 65．A

62．词义猜测题。根据“The 20 boats were tied together with strong ropes. Zhuge’s fleet went towards the camp of Cao Cao”可知，20艘船用结实的绳子系在一起，诸葛亮带着自己的船队向曹操的营地进发，所以fleet表示“船队”，故选D。
63．细节理解题。根据“Zhou Yu thought it was impossible, but Zhuge Liang said, ‘Give me three days.’ Then he asked Lu Su to lend him 20 boats, and the soldiers put some scarecrows（稻草人）in line on the boats.”及“In the small hours（凌晨）of the third day, Zhuge Liang invited Lu Su for a boat ride”可知，是诸葛亮想出了这个借箭的主意，故选B。
64．细节理解题。根据“As soon as the Cao camp heard the shouting and drum beating, they mistook it for a surprise attack by the Zhou Yu camp…they had to order 3,000 soldiers to shoot arrows to stop the unexpected attack”可知，因为曹军一听到喊声和鼓声，就误以为是周瑜的突然袭击，故选C。
65．推理判断题。根据“One day, Zhou Yu ordered Zhuge Liang to make 100,000 arrows（箭）in ten days. Zhou Yu thought it was impossible”可知，周瑜认为在10天内弄到10万支箭是不可能的，所以当诸葛亮成功地在很短的时间内完成时，他会感到很惊讶，故选A。

I have tried to write a ghost story that won’t make you unhappy with yourselves, with each other, with seasons, or with me. I hope it haunts your houses pleasantly.
Charles Dickens
One Christmas Eve, old Scrooge and Bob were working busily in his office. It was a cold, foggy day. The fog was so thick that the houses opposite were like ghosts. It was only three o’clock in the afternoon, but it was already quite dark.
“Merry Christmas, Uncle! God bless you!” cried a happy voice. It was Scrooge’s nephew (侄子).
“Bah!” said Scrooge. “Humbug (骗人的话)! ”
“Christmas is a humbug! Surely you don’t mean that, uncle.” said his nephew.
“I do.” said Scrooge “Merry Christmas! What reason have you got to be merry You are poor.”
“OK, then,” replied the nephew cheerfully. “What reason have you got to be sad You are rich. Don’t be angry, Uncle!” said his nephew.
“What else can I be ” answered the uncle. “I live in a world of fools! Merry Christmas! What’s Christmas time to you It’s a time for paying bills without money. It’s time for finding yourself a year older, but not richer. Everyone who goes around saying “Merry Christmas” should have his tongue cut out. Yes, he should!”
“Uncle! Please don’t say that!” said the nephew. “I’ve always thought of Christmas time as a good time, a kind, and a charitable happy time. And so, Uncle Christmas has never put any gold or silver in my pocket, but I think it has done me good. And it will do me good. And I say, God bless it!”
Bob, standing in the corner of the room, applauded (鼓掌). He realized his mistake very soon, and went quickly back to his work, but Scrooge had heard him.
“One more sound from you. Bob Cratchit,” said Scrooge, “and you’ll celebrate Christmas by losing your job!”
“Don’t be angry with him, e and have dinner with us tomorrow.”
“No.” said Scrooge.
“I’m sorry you don’t want to cerebrate Christmas. But I do. So a Merry Christmas, Uncle!”
“Good afternoon!” said Scrooge.
“And happy New Year!” said his nephew.
“Good afternoon!” said Scrooge again.

Nowadays, experts call on high school students to read as many literary classics (文学名著) as possible. What do you think of it
Linda: We don’t have enough life experiences, so we may have difficulty understanding the deeper classics. But this shouldn’t be a reason to give up reading classics. As Francis Bacon said, “Reading makes a full man; conference (谈话) a ready man; and writing an exact man.”
Curry: Classics are the treasures our ancestors left us. We should read them and pass them down. As the old Chinese saying goes, “One who is filled with knowledge always behaves well.” Classics can open up our minds and develop our interest in culture.

In the cave, I saw gold coins in a corner. They were Flint’s treasure! We had come so far to find this. Already it had cost the lives of seventeen men from the Hispaniola. And how many others How many ships had gone to the bottom of the sea How many brave men had been killed for this Perhaps no man alive could tell.
Next morning, we moved all the gold to the beach. Then we took it by boat to the Hispaniola. It was a big job for so small a number of men.
Then at last, one sunny morning, we sailed out of North Inlet and towards the nearest port (港口) in Spanish America. Before afternoon, Treasure Island had disappeared from view, and I had never felt happier to leave a place behind.
The sun was going down when we sailed into the port, and the doctor and Mr Trelawney took me to the beach. When we came back, Ben Gunn was waiting for us.
“Silver has gone,” he told us, “but not empty-handed. He’s taken one of the bags of coins perhaps worth three or four hundred guineas.”
I think we were all pleased to lose the bad man at so small a price.
We found some sailors for the ship at the port, and then had a good journey home. Only five of the men who had sailed from Bristol with the Hispaniola returned with her. We all took a large piece of the treasure. Some used it wisely, but some did not.
Captain Smollett no longer goes to sea. Gray saved his money and now is a half-owner and captain of a fine ship. Ben Gunn got a thousand pounds which he spent or lost in three weeks, then he came begging and was given a job as a gatekeeper.
Of Silver we have heard no more. That scary seaman with one leg has gone out of my life. I will never return to Treasure Island, but in my worst dreams I still hear the sharp, high cries of Captain Flint the parrot, “Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!”
—Adapted from Treasure Island

The first Chinese actor captured (征服) the hearts of many Chinese in the USA．He read a letter by Zhuge Liang (181-234) to the emperor of Shuhan during the Three Kingdoms (220-280) period in the new season of Growling Tiger and Roaring Dragon (《虎啸龙吟》)。
The letter has been read by so many students. We would never have thought that the text written in old Chinese could be so beautifully read in another langunge. As a result, foreigners begin to show interest in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, translated by C．H. Brewitt-Tailor and Robert E. Hegel.
Earlier in November 1979, pupils in England were able to watch a new TV program called Monkey. Most of them were hearing the story for the first time. However, the story of the Monkey King isn’t new to Chinese children in the traditional Chinese book Journey to the West.
As soon as the TV program came out more than 30 years ago, western children became interested in reading this story because the clever Monkey King keeps fighting to help the weak and never gives up.
Chinese scholars (学者) should do a better job of introducing Chinese literature (文学) to the rest of the world. At the same time, we could encourage western schools to try something different.
Reading international literature is an effective way of understanding other people in the world. And the more we understand each other, the more beautiful the world will be.
11．The underlined word “effective” might mean “________”.
A．有意义的 B．有效果的 C．有理想的 D．有情怀的
12．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true
A．Western children are interested in reading Journey to the West.
B．Reading international literature can help understand people in the world.
C．The Monkey King never gives up in order to help the weak.
D．Chinese scholars have done best in introducing Chinese literature to the world.

So I put on the clothes and practised walking like a girl. “What do you think, Jim ”
“Very good, Huck. Nobody will know you’re really a boy! Ha ha ha!”
I took the canoe（独木舟）and paddled across the river to the town. Very soon I met a woman and we started talking. She told me that her husband and another man were looking for a runaway slave（奴隶）.
“They’re going to Jackson’s Island tonight to catch him,” she said.
I hurried back to the cave to tell him.
“Jim! They know you’re here. They’re coming to get you tonight. We must leave now!”
We put all our things, including the canoe, on the big raft（木筏）and set off down the river for the town of Cairo, where the Mississippi and the Ohio rivers meet.

“Maybe we missed it in the fog,” Jim said.
③ So we continued drifting down the river because the raft couldn’t sail back up the river against the current.
We had a few adventures on the way but nobody caught us. Our life on the raft was very pleasant and I was enjoying myself. During the day we made a camp under the trees and slept. As soon as it got dark we set off again. Jim made a special platform on the raft where we could make a small fire to cook fish. After dinner we swam in the moonlight or lay on our backs looking at the stars. ④ Then one morning something happened and our lives changed.
I was paddling up a side river to look for berries for breakfast when two men suddenly ran out of the woods.
“Help! Please help us!” they shouted, “Some men with dogs are chasing us! They want to kill us! ” One of the men was about seventy years old, the other was about thirty, and they both had very old, dirty clothes.
I felt sorry for them. I told them to get onto the raft and we paddled back to the camp.

One day, he watched a mole（鼹鼠）digging a hole. He learnt a lot of things about the ways of these insects and animals. And Dickon taught him about the animals in the wood.
One morning, the children were in the secret garden as usual. When Ben Weatherstaff arrived, Colin said, “Good morning, Ben Weatherstaff. I want you and Dickon and Mary to listen to me because I’m going to tell you something very important.”
“Yes, sir!” answered Ben Weatherstaff.
“I’m going to do a scientific experiment（科学实验）,” he said. “When I grow up, I’m going to make scientific discoveries about magic and I’m going to start with this experiment. Do you understand ”
“Yes, sir!” said Ben Weatherstaff, but he didn’t really understand.
“I believe that there is magic in everything.” continued Colin. “Dickon knows some magic. He charms animals and people. Mary also knows a bit of magic because she was born in India. There’s magic in the garden, too. I’m going to try and put some in me because I want to be well and strong. I’m going to say—Magic is in me! And you must all say it, too. That is my experiment. Are you going to help, Ben Weatherstaff ”
“Yes, sir!” answered Ben Weatherstaff.
They sat down in a circle. The crow, the fox, the squirrels and the lamb were very curious.
“Now, let’s begin,” Colin said, and they all started chanting（吟唱）.
“Magic is in me. Magic is in me. Magic is in all of us.”
Then Colin stood up and walked round the garden. He went in front with Dickon on one side and Mary on the other. Ben Weatherstaff walked behind.
Colin walked a bit then rested. Then he walked again and rested again. At first, he held Dickon’s arm, then he walked a few steps alone.
“I can walk! The magic worked!” he cried.
“What is the doctor going to say ” asked Mary.
“Nothing.” Colin answered, “because we aren’t going to tell him. No one must know that I can walk and run. It’s a surprise for my father when he comes back to Misselthwaite.”
“He’s going to think it’s a dream,” said Mary.

As we walked down the shore, Ben Gunn told his story. “I was alone here for years,” he said. “One day, I found the skeleton. I saw it was pointing to a tree. I dug around that tree and found the treasure. I was living in a cave, so I took the treasure to the cave. This morning, when Long John Silver and his men came to look for the treasure, I showed myself to one of them. He thought I was a ghost.” Ben laughed. “He ran off, and this gave me the time to get back to the squire (乡绅) and the doctor. They were waiting at the cave.”
“Now I know,” I said to the doctor, “why you gave the map to Silver.”
“It was useless by then,” the doctor said. “There was no buried treasure. Ben Gunn had it. My plan was to get Long John Silver and his men away from the stockade (栅栏). We could then get some stores from it.”
When we got back to the cave, the squire was waiting for us.
“Three of the mutineers (反叛者) got away,” the doctor told him. “But if we hurry, we can get to the boat before them. They ran back to the stockade on the other side of the island. We are nearer to the boat than they are.”
I went to the cave. The captain was lying inside it next to the treasure—a pile of gold coins.
“Hello, Jim,” he said. “I am pleased to see you. But I don’t think you or I will be going to see again.”
That night, the captain died. We carried the treasure down to the boat. We lit a fire on the shore and had a fine meal together. We were not afraid of the three mutineers. We had pistols (手枪). They had none. There were more of us than of them.
The next morning, we went in the boat towards the Hispaniola. We didn’t care about the three men. We left them on the island.
I will not tell you about the journey home. Nothing important happened. But as soon as we got to Bristol, Long John Silver ran away. He took some of the gold with him. None of us cared. We were pleased to see the back of him. We each shared the treasure and used it in a different way.

To Borrow Arrows with Thatched Boats
One day, Zhou Yu ordered Zhuge Liang to make 100,000 arrows（箭）in ten days. Zhou Yu thought it was impossible, but Zhuge Liang said, “Give me three days.” Then he asked Lu Su to lend him 20 boats, and the soldiers put some scarecrows（稻草人）in line on the boats.

The 20 boats were tied together with strong ropes. Zhuge’s fleet went towards the camp of Cao Cao. The surface of the river was covered with thick mist（雾）all over. People could hardly see each other on the river. When Zhuge’s fleet got close to the Cao camp before dawn（黎明）, Zhuge Liang ordered his soldiers to shout and beat drums heavily to pretend an attack. But Zhuge and Lu Su only sat inside one boat drinking wine to enjoy themselves.
As soon as the Cao camp heard the shouting and drum beating, they mistook it for a surprise attack by the Zhou Yu camp. Since they could see nobody on the river, they had to order 3,000 soldiers to shoot arrows to stop the unexpected attack. The front of the scarecrows was quickly full of arrows. After a while, Zhuge Liang had his fleet turned around to get the other side of the scarecrows to face the Cao camp. When both sides were full of arrows, the day broke.

Charles Dickens

“Uncle! Please don’t say that!” said the nephew. “I’ve always thought of Christmas time as a good time, a kind, and a charitable happy time. And so, Uncle Christmas has never put any gold or silver in my pocket, but I think it has done me good. And it will do me good. And I say, God bless it!”

Nowadays, experts call on high school students to read as many literary classics (文学名著) as possible. What do you think of it
Linda: We don’t have enough life experiences, so we may have difficulty understanding the deeper classics. But this shouldn’t be a reason to give up reading classics. As Francis Bacon said, “Reading makes a full man; conference (谈话) a ready man; and writing an exact man.”
Curry: Classics are the treasures our ancestors left us. We should read them and pass them down. As the old Chinese saying goes, “One who is filled with knowledge always behaves well.” Classics can open up our minds and develop our interest in culture.
Frank: Without background and life experiences, students can’t understand what writers want to express in their classics. While reading, some students mainly pay attention to words and expressions rather than the hidden ideas. For this reason, reading classics might be a waste of time.
Mary: On the one hand, not all classics are suitable (合适的) for all students, as there are many difficult expressions and deep ideas. On the other hand, the special writing styles make it difficult for students to understand. So they won’t probably choose them.
78．Who agrees with the idea of reading literary classics
A．Linda & Curry. B．Linda & Mary. C．Curry & Frank. D．Frank & Mary.
79．What does Curry think of literary classics
A．They improve students’ reading skills. B．They develop students’ interest in culture.
C．They help students learn more words. D．They can change students’ personalities (个性).
80．Frank thinks classics are not worth reading because ________.
A．the writers live in different countries
B．students prefer to read about life experiences
C．students might pay more attention to words and expressions
D．students might not understand the writing styles
81．Both Linda and Curry explain their ideas by ________.

Thirty-Six Stratagems(计谋), which show our ancient Chinese wisdom, are our ancient culture treasure. And many of these stratagems can still be put into practice in many fields, such as war, politics, business and even daily life. The following are four of them. Let’s enjoy the charm of our traditional culture.
Stratagem OneWhen a thief is in your house, you’d better shut your doors at once in order to prevent him from running away. Why For our ancient Chinese, there are two reasons. First, if you let your enemy run away, he will come back. Second, once your enemy succeeds in running away, it is dangerous for you to chase him. Stratagem TwoThis stratagem is from a poem by Du Fu, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty. A line in the poem reads: “To shoot the man on horse-back, shoot his horse first; To catch the robbers, capture their leader first.” In a war if you want to beat the enemy, attack the leader first. Once the leader is caught, their forces will break down and fall into chaos.
Stratagem ThreeChinese always believe that tigers are more powerful when they are in the mountains. Once they leave mountains, they will become less powerful. And there are a few Chinese sayings linking tigers with mountains. The stratagem advises you not to directly attack an enemy in his own area. Instead, you should try to make him leave his place first, making him lose the geographical advantage. In this way, your enemy will be beaten easily. Stratagem FourExperienced fishers all know how to prevent a hooked fish breaking the line. Move the fish line from side to side to gradually make the fish calm down and get tired, and then you can catch it easily. In the same way, once your enemy is trapped, he will often struggle, trying to run away. Leave him the false feeling that he still has a chance to run away. When he gets tired and loses his guard, you can capture him with less difficulty.
83．Which of the following describes Stratagem Two A．Shutting the door to catch the thief. B．Catching your enemy’s leader first.
C．Letting the enemy off to catch him later. D．Tricking the tiger out of the mountain.
84．From the stratagems above, we know that ________.
A．it is wise for you to attack enemies in their own places
B．it is impossible for people to make others lose their guard
C．it is dangerous to give your enemies a chance to run away
D．it is better to shoot the man on horse-back first not the horse
85．Where can we probably read Thirty-Six Stratagems
A．In a guide book. B．In an art book.
C．In a science book. D．In a classical book.

Bertie was sad for weeks, months after the lion died. There was nothing I could do to cheer him or even console(安慰) him. He would sit for hours in his room, or go off on long walks all on his own. He seemed to shut away inside himself, so distant. Try as I did, I could not reach him.
①Then one day I was in the kitchen here, when I saw him hurrying down the hill, waving his stick and shouting for me. “I’ve got it,” he cried. as he came in, “I’ve got it at last.” He showed me the end of his stick. It was white. “See that, Millie ” “Chalk! It’s chalk underneath, isn’t it ”
“So ” I said.
“You know the famous White Horse on the hillside at Uffington, the one they carved out of the chalk a thousand years ago That horse never died, did it It’s still alive, isn’t it Well, that’s what we’re going to do, so he will never be forgotten. We’ll carve The White Prince out on the hillside—he’ll be there forever, and he’ll be white forever too.”
“It’ll take a bit of time, won’t it ” I said.
“We’ve got plenty, haven’t we ” he replied, with the same smile he had smiled at me when he was a ten-year-old boy asking me if he could come back and mend my kite for me.
② Every spare hour we had, we were up there scraping(刨土) away with spades(铲子), and we had buckets(桶) to carry away the earth. It was hard, back-breaking work, but it was a labour of love. We did it, Bertie and I, we did it together-paws, claws, tail, mane, until he was complete and perfect in every detail.
③It was just after we’d finished that the butterflies first came. We noticed that when the sun comes out after the rain, in the summer, the butterflies-Adonis Blues, they are, I looked them up-come out to drink on the chalk face. Then The White Prince becomes a butterfly lion, and breathes again like a living creature.
④So now you know how Bertie’s white lion became The White Prince and how The White Prince became our butterfly lion.

Buck did not read the newspapers, or he would know that trouble was coming. In fact, trouble was on its way for every strong dog with warm long hair. This was because men, going through the Arctic (北极) darkness, had discovered a yellow metal—gold. And because shipping and transportation companies were advertising the discovery, thousands of men were rushing into the Northland. These men wanted heavy dogs with strong muscles for working and thick coats to protect them from the cold.
Buck lived at Judge Miller’s house in the sunny-kissed Santa Clara Valley. There were big stables (马厩), long grape fields, fruit gardens and a big swimming pool. Buck ruled over the whole kingdom. Here he was born and here he had lived the four years of his life. He protected the judge’s sons and daughters on long midnight or early morning walks. On cold winter nights, he lay at the judge’s feet in front of the warm library fire. He was the king—King over everything at Judge Miller’s place, including humans.
Buck was this kind of dog in the autumn of 1897, when the discovery of gold in the Klondike pulled men from all over the world into the frozen North. But Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that Manuel, one of the gardener’s helpers, was not to be trusted. Manuel loved to gamble (赌博). He believed he could win, but he was doomed (注定) to failure.
On the night of Manuel’s betrayal (背叛), no one saw him and Buck go off through the fields. Buck imagined it to be a relaxing walk. They arrived at a little train. A man talked with Manuel and money was passed between them. Manuel tied a piece of thick rope around Buck’s neck. Buck accepted it quietly. To be sure, it was unwanted, but Buck had learned to trust the men he knew. However, when the ends of the rope were placed in the stranger’s hands, he barked. Then the rope tightened (收紧) painfully, his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Then his strength disappeared, his eyes grew dim (模糊的), and he knew nothing when the train pulled up. Two men threw him into the luggage van.

“That Tom is going to make a lot of trouble. He kept putting cotton into Martha’s sack（麻袋）,” Sambo told Legree that night.

“Yes, Master,” said Tom, with blood running down his face. “I will work night and day, but I will never whip another person”.
“I bought you, and you’re mine, body and soul（灵魂）.” he said, kicking Tom.

One day, Helen shouts, “Roger, come and look at the egg! It’s cracking（裂开）.” Slowly a long beak（喙）appears. They are unsure what it is.
Dad checks on the computer, “Hey, look! It’s a pterodactyl（翼手龙）.” “A pterodactyl ” shout the children. “Yes, it’s a type of dinosaur. Pterodactyls can fly,” says Dad.
Then Helen names it Dacty.
A month later, he grows up. But there is something wrong with his wings. “My room is too small and Dacty keeps banging（碰撞）his wings on the walls. I feel sorry for him,” says Helen. Finally, they take Dacty to a vet（兽医）.
Two weeks later, Dacty’s wings are better. However, he isn’t willing to fly. They phone Aunt Elizabeth. Soon she arrives. “My office is very big. It’s perfect for Dacty during the day. And at night, when the museum is empty, Dacty can fly around happily.” Then she takes them to the museum. On arriving, they take Dacty out of the basket. He stretches（伸展）his wings, flies high up and lands on a stone statue.
“Look, he likes here,” shouts Helen. “Can he see in the dark ” asks Roger. “Yes, they see clearly in the dark, just like owls（猫头鹰）,” says Aunt Elizabeth.
Six months passes and Dacty is very big now. One night, Dacty sees lights moving inside the museum. Two men—Bert and Eric come in with torches（手电筒）. They are wearing masks and trying to open a case（箱子）. Inside it is a mummy（木乃伊）. Suddenly Eric looks up and sees Dacty. He is very scared. “Look, Bert, there is a huge bird up there.” Bert looks up. Dacty doesn’t move, “Eric, don’t be silly. It’s only a statue,” says Bert. “Come on. I will open the case. You look for the gold medallions（大奖章）.” At the moment, Dacty flies down and catches Eric. The thief is very scared and he can’t say anything. Dacty flies up and lifts him on top of a statue. He’s stuck. At once, Dacty flies down again and catches Bert, too. Both of them are stuck there.
The next morning, when Aunt Elizabeth comes in, she sees the broken mummy case and the two men. They are shouting loudly.
Dacty flies down to her. “Here you are, Dacty,” she says and pets（爱抚）his head. “Thank you, you did a great job.” Then she phones the police.
The mayor（市长）shakes Dacty’s wing and puts a big shiny medal over his head. “Congratulations, you did a great job.” Then he turns to Aunt Elizabeth, “It’s great to have a big bird as a guard!”
“Dacty is a pterodactyl!” Roger says.
“Dacty is a hero now,” says Aunt Elizabeth.
“A pterodactyl ” shouts another man. “Wow! They love warm weather and jungles（丛林）. I work in the Botanical Gardens（植物园）.We have a wonderful palm（棕榈）house, big and warm, just like a jungle. He will love there. You can come to visit it anytime.”
So now Dacty is living in the Botanical Gardens. Roger and Helen visit him every day.

I’m Black Beauty, a male horse. Before I was taken to Mr Gordon, my mother Duchess spoke to me, “All young horses have to leave mothers. Whatever happens, try to be gentle and stay away from bad behaviours.”
Then I came to Mr Gordon’s house.
In the stable(马厩) next to mine was a little fat grey horse.
I put my head up and said, “Nice to meet you! What’s your name ” He seemed unhappy. “I’m Merrylegs. You are my neighbour ”
I said yes.
“Well,” he continued, “I hope you are well-behaved. I don’t like anyone who b
