Question

【題目】 Tom walked away from the school. He would never return. He was a lonely boy. Nobody loved him. He met his best friend, Joe Harper. Joe’s mother had beaten him. But Joe hadn’t done anything wrong. He also wanted to leave home. The two boys began to make plans. They both agreed to become pirates (海盜).

Five kilometers south of St Petersburg was an island called Jackson’s island. It was close to the other shore of the river. They decided to go there. They looked for Huckleberry Finn, and he joined them at once. They decided to meet on the river bank three kilometers from the village at midnight. Each would bring tools for fishing, and whatever they could steal — like those bad guys.

Tom arrived with a boiled ham and a corn, Joe had some bacon, and Huck had a frying pan, all stolen from home or their neighbors. They took some fire from an empty boat, and then they set off on the raft (木筏). At about 2 a.m. they landed on Jackson’s Island, and carried their only possessions onto the shore. They decided to sleep in the open air. That was what pirates did.

They built a fire, cooked some bacon for supper, and ate half of the corn they had brought. It seemed wonderful to be eating in the wild forest of an undiscovered island. They said they would never go back.

“It’s just the life for me,” said Tom, “You don’t have to get up in the mornings and go to school, and wash all those foolish things. A pirate doesn’t have to do anything.”

Huck asked, “What do pirates do?”

“Oh, they take ships and burn them. They get money and bury it in places where nobody can find it. And... kill everybody on the ships,” said Tom.

Slowly their talk stopped. Huck slept easily. Tom and Joe had more difficulty getting to sleep. Their conscience (良知) started to work. They began to fear that it was wrong to run away, and they thought of the stolen meat, and worried that it was bad to steal.

【解析】

本文介紹了三個(gè)男孩感覺到?jīng)]有人愛他們，所以他們決定離家出走，他們一起乘著木筏到了一個(gè)無人的小島上。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“He was a lonely boy. Nobody loved him.”可知，湯姆是一個(gè)孤獨(dú)的男孩，沒人愛他；根據(jù)“Joe’s mother had beaten him. But Joe hadn’t done anything wrong. He also wanted to leave home.”可知，喬被他媽媽打了，但是他并沒有做錯(cuò)事，他想離家出走；根據(jù)“They looked for Huckleberry Finn, and he joined them at once.”可知，哈克貝利·費(fèi)恩決定跟湯姆和喬一起離家出走，所以這幾個(gè)男孩離家出走的原因是他們覺得沒有人愛他們。故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“and then they set off on the raft (木筏). At about 2 a.m. they landed on Jackson’s Island”可知，他們是乘著木筏到達(dá)小島上的。故選C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“It seemed wonderful to be eating in the wild forest of an undiscovered island.”可知，在一個(gè)未被發(fā)現(xiàn)的島嶼的野外森林里吃東西，感覺很美妙，所以除了他們?cè)谶@個(gè)小島上，島上沒有其他的人。故選B。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Tom and Joe had more difficulty getting to sleep. Their conscience (良知) started to work.”和“They began to fear that it was wrong to run away, and they thought of the stolen meat, and worried that it was bad to steal.”可知，湯姆和喬難以入睡，他們開始良心發(fā)現(xiàn)，他們開始擔(dān)心逃跑是不對(duì)的，他們想到了偷來的肉，擔(dān)心偷走是不對(duì)的。所以此處他們的感覺是“羞愧的”。故選C。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“They began to fear that it was wrong to run away, and they thought of the stolen meat, and worried that it was bad to steal.”可知，他們開始擔(dān)心逃跑是不對(duì)的，他們想到了偷來的肉，擔(dān)心偷走是不對(duì)的，所以第二天他們最有可能做的事情就是把他們偷來的東西還回去。故選D。
