25、rge pot at one end是with复合结构，用来补充说明stone hall的情况。when he was given another 60 grams of bread是定语从句，修饰special holidays。as the boys cleaned them with their spoons.是as引导的原因状语从句，其中trying to eat every bit of soup作伴随状语。There was one boy who was tall for his age, and was not used to being hungry all the time
26、，as his father had kept a small cook shopThis boy told his friends that he had to have another bowl of soup each day.If he did not，he was afraid that one night he might eat the small young boy who slept next to him.The tall boy had a wild, hungry look in his eye and everyone believed him.The boys ha

31、e man able to speak.是倒装句。Not until位于句首，主句用部分倒装语序。“Please，sir，”replied Oliver，“I want some more.”No sooner had the boy spoken these words thanthe warden hit him on the headAwith the soup spoon.Then he seizedBOlivers arms and held him，while he shouted for Mr Bumble.no sooner.than.句式中，No sooner置于句首，该句用
32、部分倒装语序。要注意原句的时态。The managers of the workhouse were having a meeting when Mr Bumble rushed intoCthe room in great excitementD.Speaking to the leader of the meeting，he said，“Mr Limbkins，I am sorry，sir!

33、 showed complete astonishment.“For more！”said Mr Limbkins.“Think carefully, Mr Bumble, and answer me clearly.Do I understand that he asked for more, after he had eaten his bowl of soup？”Think carefully.clearly.是“祈使句and陈述句”结构。“He did, sir，” replied Bumble.“Never have I heard anything like it！”said Mr
34、 Limbkins.Never have I heard anything like it！是倒装句。never位于句首引起部分倒装。never为否定副词，引起倒装时，往往借助于相应的助动词。“Theyll hangE that boy，” said a gentleman in a white jacket.“I know that theyll hang him.”Nobody disagreed withFthe gentlemans opinion.A lively discussion took placeG.Oliver was immediately lockedHin a ro

37、为汤匙几乎就有碗那么大了。他们这样把碗刮干净以后，就坐在那儿，眼巴巴地瞅着汤锅，似乎要把它也吞进肚子里。男孩们的胃口通常都很好。三个月以来，奥利弗特威斯特和同伴们一起忍受着慢性饥饿的煎熬，到后来饿得都快发疯了。其中有个男孩子，个子较同龄人高，而且不习惯总这么挨饿，因为他父亲开过一家小饭馆。他跟朋友们说他每天必须多喝一碗汤，否则恐怕哪天晚上他就会把睡在他身边的那个小男孩吃掉。那个高个子男孩儿眼睛里闪动着野性的饥饿目光，孩子们都信以为真。男孩子们开了一个会，决定在当天傍晚吃过饭后，他们中的一个要到管理员那里去再要一些食物。他们将名字写在纸条上，抽出了一张。奥利弗特威斯特被抽中了。傍晚来临，男孩子们
38、到了各自的位子上。管理员站在锅边，打下手的人排成一排站在他的身后。汤一分给孩子们，就被一扫而光了。孩子们交头接耳，那些坐在奥利弗旁边的孩子用胳膊肘推他。奥利弗已经被饥饿与苦难逼得绝望了，他从桌边站起来，手里拿着碗和汤匙，朝管理员走去。被自己的大胆吓了一跳，他说：“求你了，先生，我还想要一些。”管理员是个健壮的胖子，但他的脸一下子变白了。他瞪着这个孩子，完全惊呆了，手抓着锅以求站稳。至少过了30秒钟，他才说出话来。“什么？”管理员最后开了口，声音有气无力。“先生，求求你了，我还想要一些。”奥利弗答道。男孩儿的话刚出口，管理员就拿起汤匙敲了他的头。然后他抓住奥利弗的胳膊不放，尖声高呼着本伯先生。济
39、贫院的理事们正在开会，本伯先生一头冲进房间，情绪十分激动。他对主持会议的人说：“林勃金斯先生，请您原谅！奥利弗特威斯特还要更多！”在房间里开会的所有人脸上都露出大为惊异的神色。“还要更多！”林勃金斯先生说。“仔细想想，本伯先生，清楚地回答我的话。我该没有听错，你是说他喝了他的那碗汤以后还要更多？”“是这样的，先生，”本伯回答道。“我还从来没听说过这样的事呢！”林勃金斯先生说道。“他们会把那个男孩子吊死，”一个穿着白色夹克的绅士说道，“我知道他们会把他吊死。”对这位绅士的观点，谁也没有反驳。理事会进行了一番激烈的讨论。奥利弗立刻就被关进一个房间里。第二天早晨，济贫院的大门上贴出了一张告示，向愿意
40、雇佣奥利弗特威斯特的人提供奖赏。“这辈子我还从没有对什么事情这么肯定过呢。”第二天早晨，那个穿着白夹克的绅士一边敲门，一边浏览着这张告示说道，“这辈子我还从没有对什么事情这么肯定过呢那个男孩子将会被吊死。” 阅读理解A(2019陕西摸底检测)Thomas Hardy, probably the most searching and knowledgeable novelist of his time, was born on June 2，1840, in Dorsetshire, England.
