Twain has been called the inventor of the American novel.And he surely deserves additional praise:the man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism.I say clever because anti-slavery fiction had been the important part of the literature in the years before the Civil War.H.B.Stowes Uncle Toms Cabin is only the most famous example.These early stories dealt directly with slavery.With minor exceptions,Twain planted his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the surface about something else entirely.He drew his readers into the argument by drawing them into the story.Again and again,in the postwar years,Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race.Consider the most controversial,at least today,of Twains novels,Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.Only a few books have been kicked off the shelves as often as Huckleberry Finn,Twains most widely read tale.Once upon a time,people hated the book because it struck them as rude.Twain himself wrote that those who banned the book considered the novel “trash and suitable only for the slums(貧民窟).” More recently the book has been attacked because of the character Jim,the escaped slave,and many occurences of the word nigger.(The term Nigger Jim,for which the novel is often severely criticized,never appears in it.)But the attacks were and are sillyand miss the point.The novel is strongly anti-slavery.Jims search through the slave states for the family from whom he has been forcibly parted is heroic.As J.Chadwick has pointed out,the character of Jim was a first in American fictiona recognition that the slave had two personalities,“the voice of survival within a white slave culture and the voice of the individual:Jim,the father and the man.”There is much more.Twains mystery novel Puddnhead Wilson stood as a challenge to the racial beliefs of even many of the liberals of his day.Written at a time when the accepted wisdom held Negroes to be inferior(低等的) to whites,especially in intelligence,Twains tale centered in part around two babies switched at birth.A slave gave birth to her masters baby and,for fear that the child should be sold South,switched him for the masters baby by his wife.The slaves light-skinned child was taken to be white and grew up with both the attitudes and the education of the slave-holding class.The masters wifes baby was taken for black and grew up with the attitudes and intonations of the slave.The point was difficult to miss:nurture(養(yǎng)育),not nature,was the key to social status.The features of the black man that provided the stuff of prejudicemanner of speech,for examplewere,to Twain,indicative of nothing other than the conditioning that slavery forced on its victims.Twains racial tone was not perfect.One is left uneasy,for example,by the lengthy passage in his autobiography (自傳) about how much he loved what were called “nigger shows” in his youthmostly with white men performing in black-faceand his delight in getting his mother to laugh at them.Yet there is no reason to think Twain saw the shows as representing reality.His frequent attacks on slavery and prejudice suggest his keen awareness that they did not.Was Twain a racist? Asking the question in the 21st century is as wise as asking the same of Lincoln.If we read the words and attitudes of the past through the “wisdom” of the considered moral judgments of the present,we will find nothing but error.Lincoln,who believed the black man the inferior of the white,fought and won a war to free him.And Twain,raised in a slave state,briefly a soldier,and inventor of Jim,may have done more to anger the nation over racial injustice and awaken its collective conscience than any other novelist in the past century.How do Twains novels on slavery differ from Stowes?A.Twain was more willing to deal with racism.B.Twains attack on racism was much less open.C.Twains themes seemed to agree with plots.D.Twain was openly concerned with racism.解析:根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容可推斷出,雖然馬克·吐溫的小說也表達(dá)了反對奴隸制度的思想,但是他對種族歧視的抨擊不像斯托的湯姆叔叔的小屋那么公開直白。答案:B37.Recent criticism of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn arose partly from its . A.target readers at the bottomB.anti-slavery attitudeC.rather impolite languageD.frequent use of “nigger”解析:根據(jù)第三段最后一句可知,最近,哈克貝利·費(fèi)恩歷險(xiǎn)記遭受批評的部分原因是里面多次出現(xiàn)nigger一詞。答案:D38.What best proves Twains anti-slavery stand according to the author?A.Jims search for his family was described in detail.B.The slaves voice was first heard in American novels.C.Jim grew up into a man and a father in the white culture.D.Twain suspected that the slaves were less intelligent.解析:根據(jù)第四段最后一句可知,作者認(rèn)為,馬克·吐溫是堅(jiān)決反對奴隸制度的,小說中的主人公吉姆的成長變化充分說明了這一點(diǎn)。答案:C39.The story of two babies switched mainly indicates that . A.slaves were forced to give up their babies to their mastersB.slaves babies could pick up slave-holders way of speakingC.blacks social position was shaped by how they were brought upD.blacks were born with certain features of prejudice解析:根據(jù)第六段第一句可推斷出,這兩個(gè)一出生被替換的孩子的故事主要表明黑人的社會(huì)地位是由他們被培養(yǎng)的方式造就的。答案:C40.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 7 refer to?A.The attacks.B.Slavery and prejudice.C.White men.D.The shows.解析:根據(jù)上一句并結(jié)合畫線代詞所在的句意可推斷,they指代的就是the shows。答案:D41.What does the author mainly argue for?A.Twain had done more than his contemporary writers to attack racism.B.Twain was an admirable figure comparable to Abraham Lincoln.C.Twains works had been banned on unreasonable grounds.D.Twains works should be read from a historical point of view.解析:根據(jù)最后一段最后一句內(nèi)容可推斷出,作者認(rèn)為,馬克·吐溫在抨擊種族歧視方面所做的遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出了與他同時(shí)代的其他作家們。答案:A.任務(wù)型閱讀42.An oral history is a piece of writing based on an interview with a person who has lived through a significant period in history or experienced a historical event.His or her memories provide a personal view of the past.The first goal of all oral histories is to record stories about a specific subject.That subject may be a historical event like the D-Day invasion.It may be a period of history like the Depression,or a social or cultural trend,such as child labour.The first step in an oral history project,therefore,is to select a subject that interests you and is of historical significance.Before attempting to identify people to interview for your project,you must first gather background information about the subject.The Library of Congress,which houses thousands of oral histories,provides these tips for researching your subject.Before entering the library or logging onto the Internet,decide on key words to use in your search.Use detailed search words.For example,search for rock and roll of the 60s instead of the more general term music.Look through newspaper and magazine articles and Internet websites to identify documents that are related to your subject.Make copies of those that will help you plan your interview questions and discard all others.Discuss what youve read about your subject surprised you.What aspect of your subject would you like to know more about?Asking questions like these will help you to focus on your subject and to identify the voice or voices you need to interview.Oral histories are as much about self as they are about subject.One goal of an oral history interview is to find out what happened.A second and equally important goal is to discover how people reacted to or were affected by what happened.The person you select to interview,therefore,should have had some experience with the subjecteither as a participant or a witness.Once you have identified one or more people to interview,begin preparing your questions.The best questions are open-ended,encouraging the speaker to respond with more than a mere “Yes” or “No”.For example,an interviewer might have asked Clarence Hughart this question about his D-Day experience:Were you scared?That question,however,would probably not have elicited the sort of dramatic storytelling that Hughart provided.Make a list of ten possible interview questions.The first two or three should be fairly general,asking the interviewee to talk about his or her childhood,perhaps.These kinds of questions put people at ease.Save more sensitive questions until the interview has been underway for five,ten,or fifteen minutes or more.After the interview come the final steps:writing a summary of the interview and then shaping it into a finished piece of writing.答案:42significant43historical44interesting45Identify46Shape47on/what48log49related/relevant50witness51Starting/Beginning.書面表達(dá)52.請根據(jù)下列四幅圖畫用英語寫篇故事,并簡要談?wù)勀愕目捶?。注?（1）故事須包括所有圖畫的內(nèi)容,可以適當(dāng)增加細(xì)節(jié),使故事連貫;（2）圖中學(xué)生為Tom;開頭已給出,不計(jì)入總詞數(shù);（3）詞數(shù)150左右。參考詞匯:寫生draw from nature畫板drawing board斧 axeTom is a primary school student and he enjoys drawing very much.       答案:Tom is a primary school student and he enjoys drawing very much.One day,he went to the small woods not far from town to draw from nature,taking along with a drawing board.When he got there,he found that only one tree remained.“One is better than nothing,”he comforted himself.So he began to put up his board in order to draw it quickly.At that time,a young man carrying an axe on his shoulder was walking towards the tree.He cut it down and pulled it away in no time.When Tom got ready and turned back to draw,he found the only tree was missing.“Dear me! Where on earth is the tree?”Tom wondered,puzzled and disappointed.What Tom saw is a reminder to all of us that we human beings are destroying the earth without taking our responsibilities into consideration.As far as Im concerned,measures should be taken to protect the environment,or nobody could survive in the near future.11
