15．B hurt包含cut的意思，准确表现了鲨鱼受到伤害后的感受。
16．C 从后文“For a minute the shark lay ________.”我们知道，刀子深深地孔进了鲨鱼的鼻子。
17．A 从下文我们得知，此时因为刀子深深刺进它的鼻子，所以鲨鱼静静地，一动不动地躺着。
18．D 从后文“We quickly pulled him into the boat.”我们知道，叔叔游到了水面。
19．B 从前文“For a minute the shark lay ________.”我们知道，鲨鱼只是保持了片刻的宁静，因此不久它又苏醒过来。
20．A 因为“He hit the boat with such a hard blow”，所以船的舷侧几乎被撞了进来；由下文可知“我们”最后划船到海岸上，所以船并未被完全摧毁，排除D。

The pen is more powerful than the sword. There have been many writers who use their pens to write things that were wrong. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them.
She was born in the U. S. A. in 1811. One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freeing the enslaved race. The civil war was the American Civil War of 1861, in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won.
This book that shook the world was called Uncle Tom's Cabin. There was a time when every English-speaking man, woman, and child had read this novel that did so much to stop slavery. Not many people read it today, but it is still very interesting, if only to show how a warm-hearted writer can arouse people's sympathies. The author herself had neither been to the Southern States nor seen a slave. The Southern Americans were very angry at the book, which they said did not at all represent the true state of affairs, but the Northern Americans were widely excited over it, and were so inspired by it that they were ready to go to war to set the slaves free.
1．Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe became famous for ________.
A. one of her books
B. she was a very heartedly person
C. she was a kind wife
D. she worked for the war
答案与解析 A 由第二段可知，她出名是因为她的小说《汤姆叔叔的小屋》。A项正确。
2．How old was Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe when her world famous book was published?
A. About sixty years old. B. Over fifty years old.
C. In her forties. D. Around twenty years old.
答案与解析 C 她1811年出生，1861年美国内战爆发。她的小说对内战有促进作用。由此可推知，她写小说时年龄不会超过1861－1811＝50岁。C项正确。
3．What do we learn about Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe from the passage?
A. Before the civil war she had been a slave.
B. Before the civil war she had lived in the north of America.
C. She had a good school education.
D. She was better at writing than swinging a sword.
答案与解析 B 从最后一段后半部分可知，小说作者本人并没有到过南方，也没有亲身经历过奴隶生活。《汤姆叔叔的小屋》中对奴隶的描述全都是虚构出来的。B项正确。
4．Why could Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe's book cause a civil war in America?
A. Because she disclosed (揭露) the terrible wrongs done to the slaves in the Southern States.
B. Because she wrote so well that the Americans loved her very much.
C. Because the Americans were too excited when they reads the book.
D. Because the Southern Americans hated the book, while the Northern Americans liked it.
答案与解析 A 从文章最后一句可知，南方人对这本小说很愤怒，因为他们认为这本小说并不能代表当时的真实情况。又从第二段可知，正是这本书促进了解放奴隶的内战。A项正确。
5．What can we learn from the passage?
A. No war can be won without such a book as Uncle Tom's Cabin.
B. We must understand the importance of literature and art.
C. We needn't use weapons to fight things that are wrong.

Mr. Harris used to work in Dover, but then he changed his work, and he and his wife moved to another town. They did not have many friends there, but they soon met a lot of interesting people, and after a few weeks, they often went to dinner or to parties at other people's houses. Then Mrs. Harris said to her husband, “We've been to a lot of other people's houses, and now we must invite them to our house, mustn't we？”
“Yes, certainly.” answered her husband. “A big party will be the easiest thing, won't it? Then we can start to invite people to dinner in small numbers next month.”
So Mrs. Harris said, “Yes, I'll invite all our friends here to a big party on 5th December.”
“How many will that be？” Mr. Harris asked. “Don't invite too many.”
Mrs. Harris was beginning to write the invitations when her husband saw that she was writing,
“Party: 6：30 to 8：30 p. m．”
“That isn't very nice, is it？” he said. “You're telling our guests that they must go at 8：30.” So Mrs. Harris just wrote “Party: 6：30 p. m．”
A lot of guests came, and they all had a good time, so they did not go home at 8：30. In fact they were still there at mid-night when the doorbell rang and a policeman arrived. He said, “You must stop making noise, because someone has complained.”
Mr. Harris said he did not want to quarrel with the policeman, so everyone went home. They were sorry to have to go.
When Mr. and Mrs. Harris were alone again, she said to him, “That was a surprise, wasn't it? Who complained about the noise？”
“I did，” Mr. Harris answered in a tired voice.

Garden building is considered an important part of Chinese culture. Some people say that if you have never walked through a Chinese garden, you cannot say that you have really visited China.
Traditional Chinese gardens are located in North China in such places as the Summer Palace, the Forbidden City. In larger imperial gardens, the main buildings are connected by an imaginary line in the middle of the gardens on the north-south axis (轴). Other features of imperial gardens are colored-paintings, man-made hills and lakes.
Most private gardens are found in the south, especially in cities south of the Yangtze River. Private gardens were mostly built at one side or at the back of the houses. Around the beautiful scene are small open areas with beautiful shaped-doors through which visitors can enjoy the sights. They are open on all sides and are often near the water so that the whole scene can be enjoyed. Suzhou, known as the home of the gardens，displays the most and the best Chinese traditional，private gardens. Different parts of it are examples of the garden styles of the Song，Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
The landscape garden contains a number of pleasant natural scenes and some fairy tales. The ancient Chinese used to call the garden landscape “Jing”， which means “Scene” in English. Good examples include the ten West Lake scenes in Hangzhou, the twenty-four Slim West Lake scenes in Yangzhou and the eight Daming Lake scenes in Jinan.
