Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank Note
Ⅰ.阅读理解
The fact that Louisa May Alcott was born in German town,Pennsylvania is all but irrelevant to a life grounded in Massachusetts.Except for two European tours,a few months in Washington,and occasional business trips to New York,Louisa lived her entire life in the Boston area,which also provided the setting for her fiction.
Louisa was one of four daughters.Most of Louisa’s early education was received from her father,Bronson Alcott.She was also instructed throughout her childhood by her father’s friends:some writers.
Louisa began publishing in 1851,when just nineteen,and by the end of her life,she had written almost three hundred works.Because many were published under the pseudonym (笔名) of A.M.Barnard,it is only recently that she has been credited with authorship that was previously assumed to be male.
Louisa is widely known as the writer of Little Women,which is a self-reflective children’s book and gives an intimate picture of domestic life that readers have found captivating for more than a century.An immediate hit,booksellers found it hard to get enough copies of Little Women to meet the demand of the public.The success of this book led to other books based on Louisa’s life such as Little Men and Jo’s Boys.
Encouraged by her wish to promote women’s roles and her hate for slavery,as a young adult during the Civil War,she volunteered to be a nurse in an army hospital in Washington.During this time,Louisa caught typhoid fever (伤寒).This experience provided the theme for her work Hospital Sketches.
Although she is most popular for her children’s literature,Louisa explored the themes of self expression and women’s rights through her adult fiction works Work:A Story of Experience,and A Modern Mephistopheles.
1.According to the text,Louisa .?
A.spent most of her life in Massachusetts
B.first started publishing under her real name
C.wrote her business trips to New York in her fiction
D.greatly influenced her father’s fellow transcendentalists
2.The underlined word “captivating” in Paragraph 4 probably means .?
A.worrying B.puzzling C.fascinating D.frightening
3.What do we know about Little Women?
A.It is Louisa’s masterpiece.
B.It belongs to Louisa’s adult fiction works.
C.It is aimed at expressing Louisa’s hate for slavery.
D.It encouraged Louisa to write more books about girls.
4.Which of the following reflects Louisa’s time as a Civil War nurse?
A.Jo’s Boys. B.Little Women.
C.Hospital Sketches. D.Work:A Story of Experience.

答案及剖析:
1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段可知,Louisa May Alcott一生几乎都在马萨诸塞州的波士顿区度过。

3.A 细节理解题。根据第四段中的Louisa is widely known as the writer of Little Women可知,《小妇人》是Louisa的杰作。
4.C 细节理解题。根据第五段中的During this time,Louisa caught typhoid fever(伤寒).This experience provided the theme for her work Hospital Sketches.可知选 C项。

语篇解读:文章主要讲述了一个圣诞节发生的故事。一位男士让擦鞋匠擦鞋时,给了她女儿一根鸡腿,让她度过了一个愉快的圣诞节。小女儿也学着把食物分享给一只流浪狗。这是一个充满感恩的故事。
答案及剖析:
1.A 根据文章第一句话“Give your shoes a shine,sir?” 可知文中的妇女是擦鞋匠,一个中年男人坐下来让她给他擦鞋。所以选A。
2.B 根据下文hid herself behind the woman 可知,小女孩站在她妈妈身边。所以选B。
3.B 根据第一段中的moving into and out of McDonald’s 可以推知,此处表示“小女孩渴望地看着他身后的餐馆”。
4.C walk off 走开;take off (使)离开;back off后退;drop off落下,减少。女孩往后退然后藏到那个妇女身后。
5.D 根据后文的staring可知,此处指“眼睛”。
6.D 上文说到男士拿出一根鸡腿,所以此处表示“盯着他的手看”。
7.C 根据下文“I’ve got a lot of them”可以推知,此处选用与got同义的动词buy。
8.A 此处指在完成工作以后买,所以用after。
9.C 在男士的坚持之下,妇女让小女孩接受了鸡腿。
10.D 根据前文可知妇女给男士擦鞋,后文说男士付了钱,所以此处应该是男士对妇女的服务特别满意,所以选D。
11.A be about to是“就要,将要”的意思。在男士就要离开的时候,女孩突然说:“我知道,你是圣诞老人。” leave有“离开”的意思,所以选A。
12.C 根据前文的Santa Claus可知,这一天是圣诞节,所以此处表达为Merry Christmas to you,意为“圣诞快乐”。
13.D 根据下文中的bite可知,女孩把鸡腿举到妇女的嘴边。选D。
14.B 由妇女是擦鞋匠可知,她们母女生活贫穷,所以当小女孩给她吃鸡腿的时候,妇女不舍得吃,只咬了一小口,因此用slight。
15.D 由文中a dirty dog可以推知,小狗可能是只流浪狗,所以应该是渴望地看着小女孩希望可以得到一点吃的。
16.A tear off 撕下,tore是tear的过去式。她撕下一小块送到小狗嘴边。throw off摆脱,抛掉; break off 折断;cut off 切除。
17.D wag摇动,摆动,由常识可知,狗高兴时会摇尾巴。故选D项。
18.B 从下文“他一定在说:‘我知道你是圣诞老人’”可知,小女孩认为小狗在说话。所以选B。
19.C 由another可知,是“另一片,又一片”,所以是小女孩又给了小狗一片肉,所以选C。
20.D 这句话是小女孩对小狗说的话,从上文的He 可以看出,小女孩把小狗当成了小男孩可知,此处用boy。
