30、 StoweBy Noel B Gerson“So this is the little lady who made this big war,” said Abraham Lincoln. The president was meeting the author of Uncle Toms Cabin for the first time, more than a decade after the books publication in 1852. “It was not simply a patronizing（傲慢的）remark.” Harriet Beecher Stowe rea
31、lly was small. “I am a little bit of a woman,” she described herself, “about as thin and dry as a pinch of snuff.” If Uncle Toms Cabin did not quite start a war, it ignited the minds of people North and South, both for and against abolition. Tens of thousands of Americans who had not read the book a
32、lready knew Simon Legree as the classic slave driver and Uncle Tom the black victim.Harriet Beecher Stowe was a well-known writer before Uncle Toms Cabin made her rich and famous. For a time, she and her preacher husband Calvin Stowe were too poor to afford a servant. Mrs Stowe ran her house, cared
33、for her twin daughters(the first two of seven children),churned out genteel, folksy stories and religious essays to help make ends meet. Uncle Toms Cabin changed all that. It was the first great American best-seller. In the initial year in print, it sold 300,000 copies, and eventually more than 3 mi
34、llion American readers bought the book. Worldwide, sales ran to something like 10 million in 40 languages. In this plain but informative portrait, biographer Gerson notes that author Stowe never visited the deep South before the Civil War. Most of the knowledge of slavery was gained from former slav
35、es whom she met while living in Cincinnati(one of the busiest stops on the Underground Railway), though she did visit a working plantation in Kentucky briefly in 1833. In spite of the impact on the world of her celebrated novel it turns out that except for the issue of slavery, she had a scant inter
36、est in politics.43. Harriet Beecher Stowe is a book that describes mainly_.A. the effect of Uncle Toms CabinB. the family of Mrs StoweC. the reason for the popularity of Uncle Toms CabinD. the Iife and works of Mrs Stowe44. Abraham Lincolns remark concerning Harriet Beecher Stowe was_.A. patronizing
37、 and inspiringB. important and necessaryC. made in 1852D. patronizing but quite accurate45. The cause of the Civil War was really_. A. the issue of abolition B. the uprising of the oppressed class C. the popularity of the song Old Black Joe D. the anger felt by those who read Uncle Toms Cabin D One
38、of the greatest contributors to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every Engl
39、ish word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations（引文）showing how it was used. This was a huge task, so Murray had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever wri
40、tten in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire,” 50 miles from Oxford. Minor joined the army of volunteers se
41、nding words and quotations to Murray. Over the next 17 years, he became one of the staffs most valued contributors. But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, h
42、e found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum（精神病院） for the Criminally Insane. Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regula
43、rly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds. In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend. Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed.
44、 The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.46.

Prof. Murray and Dr. Minor became friends mainly because _.A. they both served in the Civil WarB. they had a common inte
47、rest in wordsC. Minor recovered with the help of MurrayD. Murray went to America regularly to visit Mi-nor50. Which of the following best describes Dr. Minor?A. Brave and determined.B. Cautious and friendly.C. Considerate and optimistic.D. Unusual and scholarly.51. What does the text mainly talk abo
48、ut?A. The history of the English language.B. The friendship between Murray and Minor.C. Minor and the first Oxford English Dictionary.D.

49、_附加题根据短文内容回答问题1Hello. Its one of the first words we learn as babies, yet its one of the last ones we think to use as adults. Thats unfortunate, because saying hello is more than just saying helloit is recognition of anothers worth. How might the world changehow might we changeif we mastered this wor
50、d? To find out, I spent one month saying hello to every person I met. Heres what Ive learned.2It can boost （促进）productivity. In one of the few studies ever done on this subject, Allan Allday, an assistant professor of special education at Oklahoma State University, had middle school teachers greet t
51、heir students individually each morning. This exchange of greetings raised the kids productivity. School went from impersonal to personal, and that resulted in more class participation and better grades.3Environments influence friendliness. One study found that people in the city were less likely to
52、 shake hands with a stranger than those in the countryside. And, researchers say, pleasant environments generally encourage more smiles and hellos than unpleasant ones. My experience was similar. Whatever the reason, my urban hellos were answered far less often than my rural ones. Similarly, people
53、in vacation spots, like the Jersey Shore, were far friendlier than those hurrying to work downtown.4Its a form of universal health insurance. Its impossible to say hello without smiling. And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, relieve stress and boost happiness. Apparently, a smile creat
54、es a similar effect in the recipient（接受者）.5So maybe we can make the world a better place by _.

Fill in the
55、blank in Paragraph 5 with proper words. (within 5 words)_3. List three effects of smiling on health according to the text. (within 8 words)_答案与解析1. D 句意为“虽然目标艰巨，但我们通过与别人的合作尽快完成了”。accomplish意为“完成”，符合句意。2. A 句意为“一听到这则意外的消息，汤姆惊讶得说不出话来”。在so.that.结构中，如果表示程度的状语so.置于句首时需用部分倒装语序。3. A 句意：“你知道汤姆买了辆新车吗？”“我不知道，
56、也不关心。”句中的nor引出部分倒装结构，表示“我也不关心”。4. D 句意为“正是他年轻时接受的训练使他成为了一名优秀的工程师”。该句是强调结构，强调主语the training，同时主语后又带有一个由that引导的定语从句，空格中所填的是强调句型It was.that.中的that。5. C 句意为“这本小说是关于第二次世界大战的，而大多数青少年更关心主人公的爱情故事”。be concerned with“与有关，涉及”；be concerned for/about“关心”。6. A feed.on.“用来喂”；feed.to.“把喂给”。句意为“他用牛奶来喂猫，把干草喂给他的奶牛”。7.
57、 A 句意为“无论他怎么试，还是打不开门”。对于本题，要注意关键的标志词as及其相应的句式结构。8. B 句意为“地震之后，大多数的房屋受到了严重损坏，很多人只能被安排在体育馆住宿”。put away“把收起来放好”；put up“举起，张贴，留宿”；put out“扑灭”；put off“推迟，拖延”。9. C anxious与eager是相近的形容词。eager带有更多的热切的情绪，而anxious带有焦虑的情绪。10. B 考查动词词义辨析。句意为“他的喉咙如此疼痛以至于他几乎不能吞咽任何东西”。11. D 句意：知道当我们不在家时狗将会受到很好的照顾真好。动词know后是宾语从句，从句
58、中不缺成分，用that起连接作用。12. C serve在此为及物动词，意为“端上，供应”，常用于serve sb. /sth. with sth.结构。主语tea与serve之间为被动关系。13. D hang在此意为“吊死”，符合句意。14. C escape在此意为“遗忘，忽略”。15. D only修饰状语从句位于句首时主句用部分倒装语序。16. A tell about“讲述”。17. B 从下文买项链还朋友可知应是borrowed。18. D 丢失项链应是件不幸的事。19. D 首先排除A、C两项；ten other years意为“另一个十年”，句中也不含此意，十年应是很长的时间
59、，因此选long。20. C 以前是一个pretty girl，此处应是表状态，其余三项表动作。21. C 出生于职员家庭，受“门当户对”的影响，因此无望嫁给富人。22. A 因此嫁给了一位职员。23. C 政府办公室的职员，选of，用in也可。24. D 由此处用连词and与“生活不富裕”连接可以看出，生活不会是幸福的、舒适的或者是积极的，因此选simple。25. B 从下文他们第一次被邀请参加这样的场合可知答案为invitation。26. A 由lives可知答案为“他们的”。27. A 根据句意“用所有的钱买衣服”，钱应是“节省”下来的，因此选saved。28. D A、D两项都可接
60、doing，但A项时态不对。29. B 那晚她达到了目的，成为了最美的女人，因此是“成功”。30. C 她疯狂地跳舞，忘记了自己。31. A 只有watched和found可接宾语补足语，watch意为“看到”，find在此是“发觉，发现”。32. D 上句说没有找到，因此就谈不到wore，used，所以应是再也没有见到。33. B the不与any，that，it连用，one用来代替上面的necklace。34. C 他们借钱买项链，因此要通过劳动来还钱。35. A 根据上下文，Mathilde经过十年的劳动，变了很多。36. A 主旨大意题。本文介绍了欧亨利从出生到早期奋斗，到中年时取得的
61、成就，再到他悲惨的晚年的经历，因此是对他生平的简要介绍。37. B 推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，欧亨利三岁时母亲就去世了，是祖母和姑母把他抚养大的，由此可推断，他的童年缺少父母的爱，故答案为B项。38. A 细节理解题。根据第二段“In 1897 he was put into prison over some financial dealings.”可知欧亨利是因为经济问题招来的牢狱之灾。39. D 细节理解题。根据文章内容可知，这几件事发生的时间分别为：1902年，1884-1897年间，1899年，1904年以后，1904年。故答案为D项。40. D 推理判断题。通过计算各书定价和销
62、售价可知，让利最大的是Margaret Wise Brown的书，$17.95-$10.77=$7.18。41. C 细节理解题。由“Dr Seuss lightens the aches and pains of growing old with his unique wisdom.”可知，本书主要提供了减少年龄变老带来的痛苦的一些建议。42. B 细节理解题。由“Where the Wild Things Are is one of those truly rare books that can be enjoyed equally by a child and a grown-up.”可
63、知本书的读者对象既可以是儿童也可以是成年人。43. D 主旨大意题。本文介绍了Harriet Beecher Stowe的小说汤姆叔叔的小屋对美国社会的影响，并提到了她的生活，由此可知D为正确选项。44. D 细节理解题。第一段提到总统的话“It was not simply a patronizing remark.”，下一段证明了Harriet Beecher Stowe所写的汤姆叔叔的小屋的确影响了美国。45. A 推理判断题。由第二段开头可推断出the issue of abolition才是Civil War（南北战争）的真正起因。46. D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“. for
64、what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language.”可知选D项。47. C 细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句“Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray.”可知选C项。48. A 细节理解题。根据第四段中的 “. he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum.”可知，Minor被关在一家精
65、神病院里，这是他不能去牛津的原因。49. B 推理判断题。根据第五段的“Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words.”可知，他们成为朋友的主要原因在于他们都对词汇很热爱。50. D 推理判断题。从文章的最后一句话可以推断Minor很博学，对学问很投入，但他同时又是一个精神病人，因此用devoted，scholarly，unusual等描述他最贴切。51. C 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述Dr.Minor的特别之处和他对Oxford English Dictionary的贡献。One possible version:I
