15、eaceful D.useful三.阅读理解(一)THIS year the US Mint will honor one of the countrys mostfamouswriters.“Mark Twain”, the pen name of Samuel Clemens(1835-1911) is loved by American readers for his novels Tom Sawyer(1876) and The Adventures of Huckberry Finn(1844). Now he is going to have his life and work c
16、ommemorated(纪念) with special gold and silver coins. But does Twain need to be commemorated? It doesnt seem like people in the US will forget him. Twain once joked that a lack(缺少)of money is the root of all evil(邪恶)” but a lack of money with Twains famous face on it wouldnt have made people forget ab
17、out him. The Adventures of Huckberry Finn is thought to be his greatest works. Motherless Huck Finn is a young boy who shows the spirit of freedom. But it could be said that Hucks freedom really comes from Huck wanting to fly. When Huck gets away from his violent(暴力的) father, he isnt really looking
18、for freedom, but survival. Its even more of a problem for a slave. Jim, the escaped(逃跑的) slave who Huck helps, makes Hucks life seem even better. Its easier not to be able to deal with someone who wants to force you to go to school than to have to fight a law that says you are a piece of property(财产
19、). Huck and Jims friendship, as shown by Mark Twain, is one of the great stories in American literature because it shows a white character, Huck, who gets an idea of the African American experience.Mark Twain is famous and would still be famous without any special coins. Anyway, the coins could be a
20、 reason to look again at the work of a writer who got under the skin of the US in the 19th century.With the race issue(种族问题) far from dead in the US today, perhaps Twain still has something to teach todays readers.( )1. How many novels is mentioned written by Mark Twain in this passage? A. One B. Tw
21、o C. Three D. Four )2. Why is The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn considered Twains greatest works? A. It talks about how a black slave runs away from his violent owner.B. It describes an everlasting friendship between people of different races.C. It describes the social problem that a lack of money
22、is the root of all evil.D. It talks about a white American understanding the African American experience. )3. According to the passage, which statement is NOT true?A. Huck gets away from his father for survival. B. Jimescapesfrom his slave owner for freedom.C. Twain dug deeply into American society
23、of his times.D. Without the special coins, hell probably be forgotten. )4. The underlined phrase “far from dead” probably means _.A. still being there. B. Becoming more serious.C. Being in danger. D. Gone for a long time. )5. Whats the main purpose of the article?A. To tell the story of The Adventur
24、es of Huckleberry Finn.B. To tell readers about the special coins created to honor Mark Twain.C. To explore why the US still remembers and honors Mark Twain.D. To draw readers attention to the many race issues in the US today.There is a popular belief that goldfish only have a three-second memory. B
25、ut a 15-year-old schoolboy from Adelaide has just finished an experiment(实验) to tell us that it is not true. He shows everybody that the goldfish is smarter than we think. “I dont believe that they had a three-second memory because animals need their memory, so they build up over time a knowledge of
26、 where the food is,” said Roy Stokes, a student at the Australian Science and Mathematics School.He did the experiment in small tank(鱼缸) of goldfish. “I decided to get a bit of red Logo and just feed them next to that. Every day Id put it in and spread food around it.” He said.“At first they were a
27、bit scared of it, but by the end of the three weeks, they were actually almost coming before I put the food in.”After leaving the fish alone for a week, Rory placed the red Logo block in the tank again.“They remembered perfectly well,” he said.“They actually had a time faster than the average of the
28、 three feeds before I left.”The goldfish showed that not only could they store information, they also had the ability to get it back as a later date.Culum Brown, a research fellow at Sydneys Macquarie University, has studied fish behavior for more than ten years.He says his studies of Australian nat
29、ive fish show fish were intelligent creatures that know how to avoid enemies and catch food like any other animal. “The thing that I really liked about Rorys experiment is he not only got that classical conditioning going but the fact that he could get them next just to that specific coloured market. I thought it was really good.” He said.1. Rory began his research by _.A. discussing with hi
