Question

【題目】 The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was published in 1885 and is a sequel(續(xù)集）to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. At the end of the story, Tom and his best friend Huck found a lot of money in a cave and were allowed to keep it. Huck starts his story by describing what has happened to him since then.

Many people consider Huckleberry Finn to be one of the ‘great American novels’. However, when it first came out it was banned by some libraries and schools. People thought that Huck, a young boy and the main character, wasn’t a good example for children because he lied, stole and used bad language. Later, in the second half of the twentieth century, the novel was criticized for its racist language.

In the novel Twain attacks many of the traditions of the southern states of the USA, through the eyes of the main character, the reader sees and judges the South, its faults and its good qualities.

Several themes run through the story. Perhaps the most important one is slavery, which was finally abolished in all American states in 1865. Another is freedom. Both Huck and Jim want to be free—Jim from slavery and Huck from the society that wants to control him. A third is friendship. The adventures that Jim and Huck share on the river bring them closer together. The fact that Jim is black and a slave is no longer important and they become good friends. Jim helps Huck and Huck helps Jim in return.

【解析】

本文介紹了The Adventures of Tom Sawyer的續(xù)集The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn。一開始，因為主人公的人物塑造，一些種族語言的使用，作者對于美國的一些現(xiàn)狀的批判，使得這本書并不受歡迎。但是這本小說里面有一些的主題貫穿始終。

【1】根據(jù)右邊可知是在介紹這本小說，brief簡單的，后填名詞，故填introduction。

【2】根據(jù)文章第一段第一句“The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was published in 1885”，可知填published，注意開頭大寫，故填Published。

【3】根據(jù)文章第一段第一句“The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was published in 1885 and is a sequel(續(xù)集）to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”這本小說是The Adventures of Tom Sawyer的續(xù)集，題目中that是充當定從中的主語，所以需要填謂語動詞，故填followed。

【4】根據(jù)第二段第一句“Many people consider Huckleberry Finn to be one of the ‘great American novels’.”可知，這本小說被公認為美國最好的小說之一，故填considered。

【5】根據(jù)第二段第二句“People thought that Huck, a young boy and the main character, wasn’t a good example for children”可知，人們覺得這本小說中的主人公對于孩子們來說不是一個好榜樣，所以對孩子產(chǎn)生了不好的影響，故填effect或者influence。

【6】根據(jù)第二段最后一句話“Later, in the second half of the twentieth century, the novel was criticized for its racist language”可知，這本小說是在二十世紀晚期，因種族語言而被批判，故填late。

【7】根據(jù)第三段首句“In the novel Twain attacks many of the traditions of the southern states of the USA”可知，作者Twain對于美國的一些傳統(tǒng)是批判的，反對的，由于前面有be動詞，故填介詞against。

【8】根據(jù)最后一段第一句“Several themes run through the story”，可知右邊三個是這本小說的一些主題，而且寫了三個，需要用復數(shù)形式，故填themes。

【9】根據(jù)最后一段第四句“Jim from slavery and Huck from the society”可知，故填society。

【10】根據(jù)最后一段倒數(shù)第二句“The fact that Jim is black and a slave is no longer important and they become good friends”可知，Jim是奴隸的身份并沒有影響到他們之間的友誼，反倒更加親密了，故填though或although。

任務(wù)型閱讀除了需要找準定位以外，還需要注意填寫的單詞的形式，比如第七題，文章中的attack是動詞，但是題目中前面有be動詞，那么就不能再填動詞attack，而應該填介詞against來表達“反對”。
