备战2025年中考英语新课标（核心素养）二轮复习之优秀生拔高重难题型特训
【预测分析】
一、重难点分析
1. 核心能力考查
细节理解与信息定位
需快速定位文章细节（如人物行为、数据、时间地点），排除干扰项。
难点：选项可能通过同义替换、细节增减制造混淆。
例：原文“30% of students prefer online learning”，选项可能改为“Most students choose online classes”。
推理判断与逻辑分析
要求根据文中线索推断隐含意义（如作者态度、事件原因）。
难点： 需结合上下文逻辑链，避免主观臆断。
例： 文中提到“John canceled the trip due to bad weather”，推断他“disappointed”需结合前文描述其期待。
词义猜测与熟词生义
结合语境推测生词含义或常见词的特殊用法。
例： “The professor’s lecture was a real eye-opener.” 猜测“eye-opener”指“令人惊讶的事物”。
主旨大意与作者观点
区分主旨（main idea）与细节（detail），识别作者情感倾向（支持/反对/中立）。
难点：干扰项可能片面概括部分内容，而非全文核心。
2. 长难句与文本结构分析
复杂句结构拆解
含定语从句、状语从句、分词结构的句子需理清主次关系。
例： “The book, which was written by a renowned scientist, explains how AI can benefit education.” 主干为“The book explains...”，插入语补充作者信息。
段落逻辑与衔接词
关注过渡词（however, therefore, for example）判断段落关系，归纳段落主旨。
3. 高频干扰项设计
无中生有：选项内容在文中未提及。
过度引申：脱离原文合理范围推测结论。
偷换概念：替换原文关键词（如将“reduce”改为“increase”）。
二、解题步骤与技巧
Step 1：通读全文，把握主旨（2分钟）
跳读首尾段及每段首句，明确文章主题（科技、环保、文化等）。
标记转折词（but/however）、因果词（so/because）及观点句（In my opinion...）。
Step 2：细读题目，定位信息
按题目顺序回原文定位（通常题文同序）。
圈画题干关键词（人名、数字、专有名词）及选项核心词。
例： 题目问“How did the inventor feel about his creation ”，定位到描述发明者情绪的语句。
Step 3：逻辑推理与证据匹配
对推理题，寻找文中直接或间接支持结论的证据。
例： 题干问“What can we infer from Paragraph 3 ”，需分析段落中的数据或案例，而非直接引用原文。
Step 4：规范答题，检查细节
答案需简洁完整，符合语法（如动名词、时态一致）。
检查是否遗漏单位（如“kg”）、单复数（如“species”单复同形）等细节。
三、2025年命题预测与备考建议
1. 命题趋势预测
主题多元化：
可能涉及“双碳目标”（carbon neutrality）、“人工智能伦理”（AI ethics）、“传统文化传承”等热点话题。
预测题型： 以“新能源汽车发展”为背景，考查数据对比与观点评价。
跨学科融合：
科技类文本可能结合历史背景（如工业革命与AI对比），地理类文本可能涉及生态保护案例。
任务型阅读升级：
新增“思维导图补全”或“观点匹配”题型，考查信息整合能力。
示例： 根据文章补全“AI应用领域”的思维导图分支。
思辨能力强化：
可能设置开放性问题（如“Do you agree with the author Why ”），需结合文本与自身观点作答。
2. 备考策略
高频话题积累：
整理环保、科技、教育类高频词汇（如 sustainable development, algorithm bias）。
长难句专项训练：
每日精析1-2句含从句的复杂句，标注主干与修饰成分。
真题实战与变式训练：
精练近3年扬州及全国中考真题，总结易错题型（如推理判断题）。
限时模拟：
每篇阅读控制在7分钟内，提升速读与信息筛选效率。
四、典型例题解析（预测方向）
【预测题示例】
阅读文本（节选）：
“The concept of ‘smart cities’ uses AI to manage traffic, energy, and public services. However, critics argue that data privacy may be at risk if governments have too much control.”
题目：
“What is the main purpose of the passage ”
A. To promote AI technology in urban planning.
B. To discuss both benefits and challenges of smart cities.
C. To compare traditional cities with smart cities.
答案：B
解析：文章既提到智能城市的优势（AI管理资源），也指出问题（隐私风险），属于“辩证分析”类主旨题。
五、总结
扬州中考“阅读表达”注重考查深度阅读与逻辑思维能力，需以“定位+推理+规范”为核心，强化高频话题与长难句训练。2025年命题可能更侧重真实情境下的思辨能力，建议考生关注社会热点，提升“理解-分析-评价”的综合语言运用水平。

阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。(每题答案不超过10个词)
Nobody wants to lose, but we must accept that losing is a part of life. After all, we can’t win all the time. However, we can learn something valuable from every failure (失败). This may help us succeed in the future. So we must know how to be a good loser.
We must not be afraid of losing. When we lose, just take it with a smile and look on the bright side of it. Failure can’t be avoided in our life. Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb (灯泡).When he was asked how he felt, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times but had learned 10,000 things which didn’t work. We must know that history is full of examples of men and women who achieved success although they failed many times.
Losing is not very disgraceful. We must accept our failure and learn to take advantage of it. Remember that it can be helpful. Take action to walk out of it. When we lose, think about what we did and how we can improve. If someone else can help, we’ll be lucky enough. Maybe he or she has been through the same experience before. Many people enjoy helping others solve problems. This can save us a lot of time in learning how to avoid the same mistakes in the future.
We should face our failure when we lose. There is only one winner in every competition. Some win, while some lose. That is a usual way of life. If we offer the winners our congratulations (祝贺) and share in their happiness, we won’t feel sorry for our failure.
In a word, being a good loser will help us to succeed in life. It might be painful at the beginning, but there are many advantages. Good losers set examples to us, and most importantly, they finally win.
1．What can we learn from every failure according to the text
2．In the writer’s eyes, why did Edison achieve success
3．What does the underlined word “disgraceful” probably mean
4．What does the writer advise the losers to do in a competition
5．What is the best title for the text
【答案】
A valuable thing. / Something valuable.
He saw the bright side of losing. / He was not afraid of losing. / He learned from his failures. 3．Bad. / Terrible. / Awful.
4．Offer the winners congratulations and share in their happiness. / They should face their failure (bravely/ properly/ correctly).
5．(Advice on) How to be a good loser (Any reasonable answer is OK.)
【难度】0.85
【知识点】哲理感悟、说明文
【导语】本文主要讨论了失败是生活的一部分，我们可以从每一次失败中学习有价值的东西，并提出了如何成为一个好的失败者的建议。
1．根据第一段“However, we can learn something valuable from every failure (失败). This may help us succeed in the future.”可知，我们可以从每一次失败中学到有价值的东西。故填A valuable thing. / Something valuable.
2．根据第二段“We must not be afraid of losing. When we lose, just take it with a smile and look on the bright side of it.”和“When he was asked how he felt, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times but had learned 10,000 things which didn’t work.”可知，在作者看来，爱迪生之所以成功是因为他不害怕失败，看到了失败的积极面，并从失败中学习。故填He saw the bright side of losing. / He was not afraid of losing. / He learned from his failures.
3．根据第三段“Losing is not very disgraceful. We must accept our failure and learn to take advantage of it.”可知，失败并不是非常可耻的，我们必须接受我们的失败并学会利用它。因此，disgraceful的意思是“可耻的，糟糕的”。故填Bad. / Terrible. / Awful.
4．根据第四段“If we offer the winners our congratulations (祝贺) and share in their happiness, we won’t feel sorry for our failure.”和“We should face our failure when we lose.”可知，作者建议失败者在比赛中应该向获胜者表示祝贺并分享他们的快乐，或者勇敢地面对自己的失败。故填Offer the winners congratulations and share in their happiness. / They should face their failure (bravely/ properly/ correctly).
5．根据第一段“So we must know how to be a good loser.”和最后一段“In a word, being a good loser will help us to succeed in life.”可知，本文主要讨论了如何成为一个好的失败者，因此最好的标题可以是“如何成为一个好的失败者”。故填(Advice on) How to be a good loser (Any reasonable answer is OK.)

The book The Merchant of Venice is a dramatic work by Shakespeare, an English famous writer in the 16th century. It talks about something happening between merchants in Venice. The main characters are Bassanio, Portia, Shylock and Antonio.
The drama begins with Antonio, who helps Bassanio borrow money from Shylock, and then brings out other stories. Bassanio is a poor merchant. He needs money to follow his dream to marry Portia—a very beautiful and rich lady. He first wants to borrow money from his friend Antonio, also a merchant in Venice. Antonio borrows the money from a Jewish rich merchant Shylock. Antonio does much harm to Shylock before because Antonio really hates Jewish. Shylock is a little mean and loves money very much. He always gets interest from the people who borrow money from him. Antonio promises he will pay the money back in three months, or Shylock will be allowed to cut out 1 pound of flesh out of Antonio’s body.
Bassanio successfully wins the love of Portia but soon knows his friend can’t pay the money back to Shylock on time. Bassanio returns to Venice as fast as he can and attends a trial (审讯). The reason why Antonio isn’t able to pay is because his ships are caught in storm. Portia, dressing up as a young lawyer, claims (声称) that the words “1 pound of flesh” not “1 pound of flesh and blood”. She says that Shylock is only allowed to remove flesh, but not any blood, which is impossible. Thus, she helps make Antonio safe and make Shylock fail. At the same time, Shylock loses most of his money. At the end, Bassanio and Portia have a happy ending.

An about 2-metre-wide alley, or “Liu Chi Xiang” in Chinese, now attracts a large number of visitors in Tongcheng, Anhui.
There is an ancient story behind it. During the Qing Dynasty, Minister Zhang Ying received a letter from his family back in his hometown of Tongcheng one day. From the letter, Zhang learned that his family had quarrelled with their neighbour Wu and his family over the boundary between their houses. Since both families held strong power in Tongcheng, the disagreement was never solved.
Zhang’s family wrote the letter hoping that Zhang could make their neighbour give in. However, Zhang replied with a poem saying, “Writing a letter from home, miles away, just for a wall. All that fuss (大发牢骚) over one metre or two. Look at the long Great Wall. Long gone is its builder Emperor Qinshihuang.” His reply made the family members realize that the wall was only a temporary (暂时的) matter and that the close relationship with their neighbour was more important. So, they decided to move their wall back about one metre. In turn, the Wu family was deeply touched by this act and moved back another metre while building their wall. It created an about two-metre-wide narrow “alley” between the houses.
Today, Tongcheng has become a national historical and cultural city. And the alley shows the values of tolerance and harmony (宽容与和谐) that are widely admired in China.

Almost two million young workers in the UK have to live with their parents because they cannot buy a house or rent a room. Newspapers in Britain call them the “clipped wing generation” because they are like birds who have had their wings cut. House prices in the UK are now so high that many young people cannot afford to buy one. This means a quarter of young adults have to live with their parents or grandparents. A poll (民意测评) found that 48 percent of the people said the biggest problem was housing costs. Britain has a long history of young people moving away from the family home when they start working. Rising house prices are now making this more and more difficult.
A 32-year-old woman said she has been saving money for over ten years to pay for a new apartment. She said it was very difficult because the more she saves, the more house prices go up. She is worried about the future if she can’t buy her own home. She told reporters why she didn’t want to leave the family home and rent, saying, “If I move out now, the reality is I’ll be stuck paying expensive rents for the rest of my life... The thought that I’m going to be living like a teenager into my late 30s or even 40s is really disheartening (沮丧的).” A charity for homeless people said Britain’s government needed to build more homes and sell them at a price that is low enough for younger people.

“Of course not !”
“I feel sorry for Muff sometimes. He didn’t kill Dr. Robinson, but I think they will hang him.”
“I do too, Tom. He never hurts anybody and he taught me how to fish.”
“He fixed my kite once. Maybe we could help him escape.”
“They’d only catch him again.”
“That’s true.”
They went to the jail and brought Muff Potter some tobacco and matches.
“Thanks, boys. You have been very kind to me. Nobody else is kind to me. Let me shake your hands. They’re only little hands, but they helped me a lot.”
Tom went home, feeling very bad.
He stayed near the courthouse for the next few days. Injun Joe told his story again. Everybody believed it .They all thought that Muff Potter would be hanged. Even his lawyer looked sad. That night, Tom felt worse than ever. He went to see Muff’s lawyer. The next day, the witnesses told their stories. Muff’s lawyer spoke.
“Call Tom Sawyer!”
Everybody was surprised. Tom came into the court. He told the judge what he and Huckleberry had seen. Injun Joe was frightened when he heard this. He jumped out of the window of the courthouse and ran away.
Now Tom was really famous. His name was in the newspaper. He enjoyed being famous, but at nighttime he was very frightened. Everybody looked for Injun Joe, but nobody could find him. Tom dreamed about him every night.
The days slowly passed by. Tom’s fearful dream of Injun Joe was replaced by another, more pleasant, dream. He and Huckleberry decided to dig for buried treasure. Tom had read about it in a book.

You don’t know me unless you read a book called The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Huck’s my name, Huckleberry Finn. That book ends like this: my best friend, Tom Sawyer, and I found $12,000 in gold in a cave. We became rich. We got $6,000 each.
My mother died long ago and then my dad, Pap, disappeared. He was always drunk and he often beat me. Then a kind old lady called Widow Douglas took me into her home to live. She gave me a bed to sleep in and bought new clothes for me. She read stories to me and taught me how to eat at a table. She sent me to school every day.
I hated those new clothes. I missed my old life. I put on my old clothes and ran away and was free and happy, but Tom Sawyer found me and said that if I wanted to join his club, I would have to return to live with the widow. For this reason, I returned to live with her.
The months passed and winter came. The weather got cold. One morning I woke up and there was snow on the ground. On my way to school I saw some footprints outside the widow’s house. My heart jumped. Pap!
“He’s heard about my money,” I thought. “And he wants it! ”
When I lit my candle and went up to my room that night, there sat Pap—his own self! I expected to be scared of him now, but I wasn’t. I stood looking at him; he set there—looking at me.
Pap was nearly fifty years old. His black hair was long and uncombed and dirty. He had allowed hair to grow on his face, which was ghostly white. Just looking at the ugly white skin made me feel sick. His clothes —dirty and torn. His feet showed through large holes in his shoes. His hat was on the floor—an old black hat with a large hole in it.

备战2025年中考英语新课标（核心素养）二轮复习之优秀生拔高重难题型特训
【预测分析】
一、重难点分析
1. 核心能力考查
细节理解与信息定位
需快速定位文章细节（如人物行为、数据、时间地点），排除干扰项。
难点：选项可能通过同义替换、细节增减制造混淆。
例：原文“30% of students prefer online learning”，选项可能改为“Most students choose online classes”。
推理判断与逻辑分析
要求根据文中线索推断隐含意义（如作者态度、事件原因）。
难点： 需结合上下文逻辑链，避免主观臆断。
例： 文中提到“John canceled the trip due to bad weather”，推断他“disappointed”需结合前文描述其期待。
词义猜测与熟词生义
结合语境推测生词含义或常见词的特殊用法。
例： “The professor’s lecture was a real eye-opener.” 猜测“eye-opener”指“令人惊讶的事物”。
主旨大意与作者观点
区分主旨（main idea）与细节（detail），识别作者情感倾向（支持/反对/中立）。
难点：干扰项可能片面概括部分内容，而非全文核心。
2. 长难句与文本结构分析
复杂句结构拆解
含定语从句、状语从句、分词结构的句子需理清主次关系。
例： “The book, which was written by a renowned scientist, explains how AI can benefit education.” 主干为“The book explains...”，插入语补充作者信息。
段落逻辑与衔接词
关注过渡词（however, therefore, for example）判断段落关系，归纳段落主旨。
3. 高频干扰项设计
无中生有：选项内容在文中未提及。
过度引申：脱离原文合理范围推测结论。
偷换概念：替换原文关键词（如将“reduce”改为“increase”）。
二、解题步骤与技巧
Step 1：通读全文，把握主旨（2分钟）
跳读首尾段及每段首句，明确文章主题（科技、环保、文化等）。
标记转折词（but/however）、因果词（so/because）及观点句（In my opinion...）。
Step 2：细读题目，定位信息
按题目顺序回原文定位（通常题文同序）。
圈画题干关键词（人名、数字、专有名词）及选项核心词。
例： 题目问“How did the inventor feel about his creation ”，定位到描述发明者情绪的语句。
Step 3：逻辑推理与证据匹配
对推理题，寻找文中直接或间接支持结论的证据。
例： 题干问“What can we infer from Paragraph 3 ”，需分析段落中的数据或案例，而非直接引用原文。
Step 4：规范答题，检查细节
答案需简洁完整，符合语法（如动名词、时态一致）。
检查是否遗漏单位（如“kg”）、单复数（如“species”单复同形）等细节。
三、2025年命题预测与备考建议
1. 命题趋势预测
主题多元化：
可能涉及“双碳目标”（carbon neutrality）、“人工智能伦理”（AI ethics）、“传统文化传承”等热点话题。
预测题型： 以“新能源汽车发展”为背景，考查数据对比与观点评价。
跨学科融合：
科技类文本可能结合历史背景（如工业革命与AI对比），地理类文本可能涉及生态保护案例。
任务型阅读升级：
新增“思维导图补全”或“观点匹配”题型，考查信息整合能力。
示例： 根据文章补全“AI应用领域”的思维导图分支。
思辨能力强化：
可能设置开放性问题（如“Do you agree with the author Why ”），需结合文本与自身观点作答。
2. 备考策略
高频话题积累：
整理环保、科技、教育类高频词汇（如 sustainable development, algorithm bias）。
长难句专项训练：
每日精析1-2句含从句的复杂句，标注主干与修饰成分。
真题实战与变式训练：
精练近3年扬州及全国中考真题，总结易错题型（如推理判断题）。
限时模拟：
每篇阅读控制在7分钟内，提升速读与信息筛选效率。
四、典型例题解析（预测方向）
【预测题示例】
阅读文本（节选）：
“The concept of ‘smart cities’ uses AI to manage traffic, energy, and public services. However, critics argue that data privacy may be at risk if governments have too much control.”
题目：
“What is the main purpose of the passage ”
A. To promote AI technology in urban planning.
B. To discuss both benefits and challenges of smart cities.
C. To compare traditional cities with smart cities.
答案：B
解析：文章既提到智能城市的优势（AI管理资源），也指出问题（隐私风险），属于“辩证分析”类主旨题。
五、总结
扬州中考“阅读表达”注重考查深度阅读与逻辑思维能力，需以“定位+推理+规范”为核心，强化高频话题与长难句训练。2025年命题可能更侧重真实情境下的思辨能力，建议考生关注社会热点，提升“理解-分析-评价”的综合语言运用水平。

Nobody wants to lose, but we must accept that losing is a part of life. After all, we can’t win all the time. However, we can learn something valuable from every failure (失败). This may help us succeed in the future. So we must know how to be a good loser.
We must not be afraid of losing. When we lose, just take it with a smile and look on the bright side of it. Failure can’t be avoided in our life. Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb (灯泡).When he was asked how he felt, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times but had learned 10,000 things which didn’t work. We must know that history is full of examples of men and women who achieved success although they failed many times.
Losing is not very disgraceful. We must accept our failure and learn to take advantage of it. Remember that it can be helpful. Take action to walk out of it. When we lose, think about what we did and how we can improve. If someone else can help, we’ll be lucky enough. Maybe he or she has been through the same experience before. Many people enjoy helping others solve problems. This can save us a lot of time in learning how to avoid the same mistakes in the future.
We should face our failure when we lose. There is only one winner in every competition. Some win, while some lose. That is a usual way of life. If we offer the winners our congratulations (祝贺) and share in their happiness, we won’t feel sorry for our failure.
In a word, being a good loser will help us to succeed in life. It might be painful at the beginning, but there are many advantages. Good losers set examples to us, and most importantly, they finally win.
1．What can we learn from every failure according to the text
2．In the writer’s eyes, why did Edison achieve success
3．What does the underlined word “disgraceful” probably mean
4．What does the writer advise the losers to do in a competition
5．What is the best title for the text

The book The Merchant of Venice is a dramatic work by Shakespeare, an English famous writer in the 16th century. It talks about something happening between merchants in Venice. The main characters are Bassanio, Portia, Shylock and Antonio.
The drama begins with Antonio, who helps Bassanio borrow money from Shylock, and then brings out other stories. Bassanio is a poor merchant. He needs money to follow his dream to marry Portia—a very beautiful and rich lady. He first wants to borrow money from his friend Antonio, also a merchant in Venice. Antonio borrows the money from a Jewish rich merchant Shylock. Antonio does much harm to Shylock before because Antonio really hates Jewish. Shylock is a little mean and loves money very much. He always gets interest from the people who borrow money from him. Antonio promises he will pay the money back in three months, or Shylock will be allowed to cut out 1 pound of flesh out of Antonio’s body.
Bassanio successfully wins the love of Portia but soon knows his friend can’t pay the money back to Shylock on time. Bassanio returns to Venice as fast as he can and attends a trial (审讯). The reason why Antonio isn’t able to pay is because his ships are caught in storm. Portia, dressing up as a young lawyer, claims (声称) that the words “1 pound of flesh” not “1 pound of flesh and blood”. She says that Shylock is only allowed to remove flesh, but not any blood, which is impossible. Thus, she helps make Antonio safe and make Shylock fail. At the same time, Shylock loses most of his money. At the end, Bassanio and Portia have a happy ending.

An about 2-metre-wide alley, or “Liu Chi Xiang” in Chinese, now attracts a large number of visitors in Tongcheng, Anhui.
There is an ancient story behind it. During the Qing Dynasty, Minister Zhang Ying received a letter from his family back in his hometown of Tongcheng one day. From the letter, Zhang learned that his family had quarrelled with their neighbour Wu and his family over the boundary between their houses. Since both families held strong power in Tongcheng, the disagreement was never solved.
Zhang’s family wrote the letter hoping that Zhang could make their neighbour give in. However, Zhang replied with a poem saying, “Writing a letter from home, miles away, just for a wall. All that fuss (大发牢骚) over one metre or two. Look at the long Great Wall. Long gone is its builder Emperor Qinshihuang.” His reply made the family members realize that the wall was only a temporary (暂时的) matter and that the close relationship with their neighbour was more important. So, they decided to move their wall back about one metre. In turn, the Wu family was deeply touched by this act and moved back another metre while building their wall. It created an about two-metre-wide narrow “alley” between the houses.
Today, Tongcheng has become a national historical and cultural city. And the alley shows the values of tolerance and harmony (宽容与和谐) that are widely admired in China.

The Ghost nodded its head. That was the only answer Scrooge received.
“Ghost of the Future,” he said, “I am more afraid of you than of all the other ghosts. But because I want to be a better man, I will go with you. Please, speak to me.”

“I only know he’s dead,” said a great fat man.
“When did he die ” asked another.
“Last night, I think.”
“What was the matter with him ” asked a third.
“God knows,” said the first, with a yawn.
“What has he done with his money ” asked a red-faced gentleman.
“I don’t know,” said the great fat man, yawning again. “He hasn’t left it to me. That’s all I know.”
Everybody laughed.
“It will be a very small funeral” said the great fat man. “I don’t think anybody will go to it.”
Scrooge knew the men. And he looked towards the Ghost for an explanation. He didn’t understand why this conversation was important. But he knew it must be.
Scrooge looked around the place. He looked at the clock. It was strange. He was usually there at this time but he couldn’t see himself.

Almost two million young workers in the UK have to live with their parents because they cannot buy a house or rent a room. Newspapers in Britain call them the “clipped wing generation” because they are like birds who have had their wings cut. House prices in the UK are now so high that many young people cannot afford to buy one. This means a quarter of young adults have to live with their parents or grandparents. A poll (民意测评) found that 48 percent of the people said the biggest problem was housing costs. Britain has a long history of young people moving away from the family home when they start working. Rising house prices are now making this more and more difficult.
A 32-year-old woman said she has been saving money for over ten years to pay for a new apartment. She said it was very difficult because the more she saves, the more house prices go up. She is worried about the future if she can’t buy her own home. She told reporters why she didn’t want to leave the family home and rent, saying, “If I move out now, the reality is I’ll be stuck paying expensive rents for the rest of my life... The thought that I’m going to be living like a teenager into my late 30s or even 40s is really disheartening (沮丧的).” A charity for homeless people said Britain’s government needed to build more homes and sell them at a price that is low enough for younger people.
1．According to paragraph one, why do young workers in the UK have to live with their parents
2．Among 10,000 young adults, how many of them have to live with their parents or grandparents
3．In the past, what did the young people do in Britain when they started working

“Have you heard of Flint ” Dr Livesey asked Squire Trelawney.
“Yes, I have!” the squire replied. “He was one of the most dangerous pirates that ever sailed the seas. He only cared about money and everyone was afraid of him. No one knows where he buried his treasure.”
