My favourite book is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St Petersburg, Missouri. He's a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures(探险). He runs away with his two friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days.
My favourite scene(场景) in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead. He decides to go to his own funeral(葬礼). He hides and watches for a time, and then suddenly he appears(出现). Everyone is surprised to see him, but they're also pleased to see him alive.
Tom is the hero of the story, but there are other important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him. Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom's best friend, and Injun Joe is the bad man in the story.
The theme of the story is about children's growing up. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished for bad behaviors(行为).
Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876. but it's still read and loved by people all over the world today. Although it's only a story, Mark Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states(州) of America in the 19th century, so it sounds very real. Today it's one of the greatest books in American literature(文学). Go to read it! I know you'll enjoy it.
( )6. Where does Tom run away with his two friends?
A. To a quiet street. B. To a small town. C. To an island. D. To a forest.
( )7. Who is the bad man in the story?
A. Huck Finn. B. Injun Joe. C. Becky. D. Polly.
( )8. How do people feel when Tom appears at his own funeral?
A. They were surprised and pleased. B. They were surprised and sad.
C. They were worried but excited. D. They were afraid but happy.

A. ask us to read the book B. tell us how popular the book is today

五、任务型阅读。(l0分) 每空填一个单词。
Walden is a small town in England. Cars aren’t allowed (允许) into the centre of the town so it’s very pleasant to walk around.
Allow at least half a day to visit the museum. It’s on a hill just outside the town in a very old building. One room there tells people the history of the building itself.
The museum brings history to life. You can even ride on a horse and a cart (马车) in the street. I was really interested in a 1950s living room in the museum. It was just like my grandmother’s house when I was a child.
If you can wait, there’s a new exhibition (展览) opening soon. Walden is famous for one thing -- candy! If you like candy, this exhibition is the place for you -- you can learn about its history. I never see so many different kinds of candy. But don’t go now because it doesn’t start until the 26th of May.
Have a look round the town of Walden too while you are there. If you start in the main square and follow the green signs, they’ll take you to the museum, and you’ll see lots of other interesting things on the way, too.
Welcome to Walden!

六、阅读与回答问题（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）
Wang Fei，a Chinese student，and Mary，an American student studying Chinese in China，were in a supermarket．They saw a young man walking down the stairs．In his hurry，he missed the last two steps and fell onto the ground．He tried to stand up while people around him laughed. Luckily, he seemed to be OK.
Mary found Wang Fei smiling a little and was not happy about it．“Tell me，Fei，how could people laugh when someone fell like that? Why didn’t they go up and ask him if he was hurt?’’
Wang Fei said，“Because they knew he wasn’t hurt too much．”
“But I still don’t understand．A fall is a fall．In my culture．people would never laugh!”
This is an example．The Chinese and the westerner will think and act differently when seeing such a thing．Chinese people are used to laughing or smiling．Very often the person who is in embarrassing（困窘的）situation would also laugh or smile to get out of it．However，if someone gets hurt seriously，it will not be a laughing matter any more．People will help him or her instead．
But，in that case，a westerner will rush over and help the person get up．If a westerner falls，he or she，like a Chinese person，may try to make a joke if he or she is not hurt．If two close friends are walking together，and one falls but clearly isn't hurt，a common joke is to say “Have a nice trip”．
So different people have different habits and different countries have different cultures．
1.Where is Mary from?
__________________________________________________________
2.Why didn't people go up and ask the young man if he was hurt?
__________________________________________________________
3.What do Chinese people often do when they find themselves in embarrassing situation?

4.What is a westerner likely to do when he or she sees someone fall down?

5.What might Mary say to Wang Fei if he fell but clearly was not hurt?

Terry walked out of his room and asked, “What’s wrong, Mom? Oh, is Dad coming home tonight?” “No. Tomorrow. I’m waiting for your sister.” Terry went back to his room and studied. He had a very important exam the next day.
