When Major,the most respected pig,saw all the animals were present,he cleared his throat and began:
“Now,comrades (同志们),I don't think I shall be with you for many months. Before I die,let me ask you a question. What is the nature of this life of ours Let us face it:our lives are miserable and short. We are born,we are given just so much food as will keep the breath in our bodies,and those of us who are able to do it are forced to work to the last minute of our life;and the moment our usefulness has come to an end,we are killed immediately. No animal in England knows the meaning of happiness or freedom after he is one year old. No animal in England is free.”
“Why then do we continue in this miserable condition?Because nearly the whole of the produce of our hard work is stolen from us by human beings. There,comrades,is the answer to all our problems. It is summed up in a single word—Man. Man is the only real enemy we have. Remove (消灭) Man from the scene,and the basic cause of hunger and overwork is ended for ever.”
“And now,comrades,I will sing an old song that came into my dream last night to you. I am sure,it was a song sung by the animals of long ago and have been lost to memory for many years. It is called Animals of England.”
His voice was hoarse(沙哑的),but he sang well enough to throw the animals into the wildest excitement. Almost before Major had reached the end,they had begun singing it for themselves.
Unluckily,the singing woke Mr. Jones,the farm owner,who jumped out of bed,thinking that there was a fox in the yard. He took the gun which always stood in a corner of his bedroom,and let fly 6 shots(射击) into the darkness. The pellets(子弹) flew into the wall of the yard and the meeting broke up hurriedly. Everyone ran to his own sleeping place. The birds jumped onto their trees,the animals settled down in the straw,and the whole farm was asleep in a moment.
21. Why did Major make the speech
A. To encourage the animals to fight against Man.
B. To teach the animals to sing an old song.
C. To say goodbye to the animals before death.

五、 任务型阅读(15分)
Every Sunday morning,I take a light jog around a park near my home. There's a lake in one corner of the park. Each time I jog by this lake,I see the same elderly woman sitting by the lake with a small metal cage beside her.
Last Sunday,my curiosity(好奇心) got the better of me,so I stopped jogging and walked over to her. As I got closer,I found that inside the metal cage were three turtles,slowly walking around. She had a fourth turtle on her lap(大腿) that she was carefully brushing.
“Hello,” I said. “I'd love to know what you're doing with these turtles.”
She smiled. “I'm cleaning their shells,” she replied. “Anything on a turtle's shell,like algae(海藻) or scum(浮沫),stops the turtle from swimming. It can also weaken the shell over time. I'm doing this to help the turtles. It's my own way of making a difference.”
“Wow! That's really nice of you! But there are turtles living in lakes all around the world. And few of these turtles have kind people like you to help them clean their shells. So how exactly are you sure that you are truly making a difference?” I questioned.
The woman laughed aloud. She then looked down at the turtle on her lap,brushed the last piece of algae from its shell,and said,“Sweetie,every act of kindness matters. If this little guy could talk,he'd tell you I just made all the difference in the world.”
