【題目】閱讀與回答問(wèn)題

Lizzie was born in 1842. She lived in a small house on a farm with her parents and two brothers. Her father and older brother worked in the fields picking cotton, and her mother and younger brother worked in the vegetable garden. Lizzie worked in the farmer’s house.

The farmer didn’t like Lizzie’s older brother and gave him the hardest jobs. Lizzie was afraid that one day the farmer would hurt her brother, or sell him to another farmer.

Many slaves(奴隸) tried to run away to the free states. But most were caught by slave catchers or tracking dogs. However some slaves found clever ways to escape(逃跑）. Lizzie was one of them.

Everyday she went to the farmer’s house, where she made beautiful clothes for the farmer’s daughters. She was allowed to keep small pieces of left-over materials, and she stitched(縫) these together into small patterns. Then she stitched the small patterns together to make a quilt. The patterns all had names such as ‘Flying Geese’, ‘Bear’s Paw’, or ‘Nine Patch’.

That quilt was really a map. Lizzie hung it on the clothes line outside the house, and her brother and other slaves saw Lizzie’s map and knew which way to go.

They also knew that Lizzie’s cabin was a “safety house” because a quilt with a sky blue square in the middle meant “safety house”. At each safe house, they were hidden and given food. With the quilt’s help, they knew the way to get to the next safe house until they got to the free states in the north.(改編于《新理念英語(yǔ)》)

C

What do you think of black cats? Are they unluckier than cats of other colors? Many people in Western countries think so．Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), did a study on cat colours and people’s understandings of cat personalities．

The study found that people do judge(判斷) cat personalities by color．Scientists did a survey on the Internet．There were 49 statements (描述) matching five cat colorings with 10 personalities．People think orange and bi-coloured (雙色的) cats are friendly, tri-coloured (三色的) cats are not generous, and white cats are calm, lazy and shy．As for black cats, people think they don’t have special personalities．

But why do so many people dislike keeping black cats as pets? People think black cats have less special personalities, which might be because of their bad reputation (口碑)．They think black cats may bring bad luck, especially at Halloween．Movies and television shows also make people believe that.

Although people have these ideas, UC Berkeley scientists give another reason: people don’t think black cats are pretty enough．After all, nothing can show black cats are unluckier than other cats．“You can’t judge a cat by its colour, because it’s the personality of the cat, not the colour, that will let you know if the cat is right for you,” Cathy Marden, a scientist said.

【1】Many people in Western countries may think black cats are___________.

A．lovely animals

B．a(chǎn) sign o f bad luck

A．people often complain about black cats on the Internet

D．the study is a great success

【3】According to the study, people think that___________.

A．black cats have special personalities

B．orange and bi-coloured cats are generous

C．cats with three colours are friendly

D．white cats are calm, lazy and shy

【4】People don’t like black cats for the following reasons EXCEPT___________.

A．black cats often appear in TV shows

B．black cats bring bad luck to people

D．they don’t think black cats are beautiful

【5】The passage mainly talks about___________

A young man traveled by train. As it was running across a wild land, the passengers looked out of windows without aims.

When the train came near a turning, it slowed down and then a simple house came into view. It was the only house the passengers saw on such a long journey. Everybody on the train admired it with eyes wide open. Some passengers even began a discussion about it.

The young man was also impressed by the scene. On his return, he got off the train at the nearest station from the house and found his way there. Its owner told him he was troubled by the noise of the train and that he wanted to sell the house but nobody would buy it.

Soon the young man paid 30,000 dollars for the house, thinking it a wonderful place for advertisement. It faced the railway turning, where the train had to slow down and the bored passengers would cast their eyes at the house to refresh their minds.

The young man tried to contact big companies and make them realize the place was the perfect for advertisement. Finally the Coca-Cola Company put up an advertisement on the house. The young man got 180,000 dollars for three year’s rent.
