专题强化练十九 组合练(六)‎ Ⅰ.阅读理解 Betty Smith's first novel, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, became immediately popular when it was published in 1943.The story is set in the years of 1900 to 1920.It tells of Francie Nolan and her parents,who were born to immigrants,and their struggle to provide for their family.Smith says she based the story on her own experiences growing up in the neighbourhood of Williamsburg in Brooklyn,a borough(城市的行政区) of New York City.It's widely believed that the character of Francie is based on Smith.‎ The tree of the book's title refers to the big Tree of Heaven which grows near the family's apartment building,despite attempts to get rid of it.It's a symbol for Francie herself.Francie is determined to survive and improve her life,despite things that get in her way: her father is an alcoholic and dies,her mother doesn't care about Francie's dreams and her family is almost constantly poor.‎ The novel tells the story of how Francie's parents,Johnny and Katie Nolan,met as teenagers.Katie later became pregnant,and they married before either of them had turned 20.Despite his charm and good nature.Johnny is an alcoholic who can't hold a job.Katie supports the family by cleaning apartment buildings.This went against tradition,as the man was usually the one with the job who provided for the family.Francie enjoys learning,and idolizes her father,who shares her dreamy nature and vivid imagination.He lies to get Francie into a better school,realizing it's what will make her ‎ happiest.‎ Readers experience the scenes in Brooklyn from Francie's point of view.She observes the neighbourhood's people and events from the fire escape outside the family's apartment.‎ Family plays a key role throughout A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.Katie tries hard to provide for her family when Johnny can't.The children work afterschool jobs to support their mother after Johnny dies.Additionally,Francie sacrifices her savings to send her brother to school.‎ Smith's book is still a popular read for many young women even though it's more than 70 years old.‎ ‎【语篇解读】 本文介绍了贝蒂·史密斯的小说《布鲁克林有棵树》,具体讲述了作者的创作背景、创作过程和书的内容。这本书虽然已经出版70多年了,但是书中主人公对待生活不屈不挠的精神,仍然受到许多年轻女士的欢迎。‎ ‎1.Which of the following is TRUE about A Tree Grows in Brooklyn?‎ A.It is an autobiography of Betty Smith.‎ B.It is Betty Smith's most popular book.‎ C.It sets the story in New York in the 1940s D.It tells of immigrant's life in New York.‎ 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段第三句可知这本小说的内容,它讲述了身为移民的弗朗西和她的父母努力去养活他们的家人的故事。故选D项。‎ 答案:D ‎2.What role does the Tree of Heaven play in Francie's life?‎ A.It accompanies her growth.‎ B.It represents her struggle in life.‎ C.It contributes to her success.‎ D.It makes her dream come true.‎ 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段第二句可知,这棵树是主人公弗朗西的象征,紧接着下一句描述了她的努力和奋斗,由此可以推断出,这棵树代表了弗朗西的拼搏。‎ 答案:B ‎3.The underlined word“This”in Paragraph 3 refers to the fact that________.‎ A.Johnny was charming and had good nature B.Johnny married Katie before they were 20‎ C.Katie worked as a cleaner in department buildings D.Katie supported the family instead of Johnny 解析:词义猜测题。This的前一句中提到“Katie supports the family”,后面又提到违背传统的原因是因为通常都是男人养家糊口,由此可以推断出This指的是凯蒂养活家庭而不是她的丈夫约翰尼。‎ 答案:D ‎4.What message does Betty Smith try to convey in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn?‎ A.Family support is of significance.‎ B.Men should support their families.‎ C.Immigrants in the US got married early.‎ D.Good imagination makes a great writer.‎ 解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句“Family plays a key role throughout A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.”可知,这本书要传递的信息是家庭的支持很重要。‎ 答案:A Ⅱ.完形填空 I felt very depressed the other day.The weather had been dark and rainy,and I just didn't feel so__1__.‎ As I was sitting at my desk,I__2__it was the birthday of a dear long-time friend—a single,middle-aged woman who has devoted the past 30 years to nursing and loving her__3__.‎ Knowing that she didn't have family in town,I__4__to give her a call.Sure enough,she was on her shift,__5__to work late into the evening,and wouldn't have__6__of a birthday this year.As always,though,she__7__cheerful and was happy that I__8__.‎ After I hung up,I couldn't__9__the feeling that she would really appreciate a little attention on her special day.__10__feeling a little depressed myself,I tried to put it out of my mind,but as the day passed,I couldn't shake the thought.I__11__gave in,and set off to the hospital with a card,a cheese cake,and some balloons that evening.My friend's grateful smile and joyful surprise__12__me that I'd done the right thing,and they were a generous__13__for the little effort it had taken.‎ When I got home,I realized that not only had I cheered up a__14__friend on her birthday,but my own negative feelings had also disappeared.Making her day had__15__my own!

Since it will be 100 days before I graduate from high school, I want to convey my appreciation for your help during my whole school year, without which I couldn't have made such rapid progress in my studies.‎ 宋以后,京师所设小学馆和武学堂中的教师称谓皆称之为“教谕”。至元明清之县学一律循之不变。明朝入选翰林院的进士之师称“教习”。到清末,学堂兴起,各科教师仍沿用“教习”一称。其实“教谕”在明清时还有学官一意,即主管县一级的教育生员。而相应府和州掌管教育生员者则谓“教授”和“学正”。“教授”“学正”和“教谕”的副手一律称“训导”。于民间,特别是汉代以后,对于在“校”或“学”中传授经学者也称为“经师”。在一些特定的讲学场合,比如书院、皇室,也称教师为“院长、西席、讲席”等。As for my ideal college, Tsinghua University, with masters,abundant resources, the atmosphere of freedom and the interaction of marvelous ideas, provides everything that fulfills my dream. There, I am pretty sure, my interest can be fully developed and my character will be properly cultivated. More importantly, there may be many opportunities to make new friends, Chinese or foreign.‎ Given all the efforts put into my studies, I am longing to be admitted to my ideal college and I am dreaming of that life.‎ Looking__forward__to__your__reply.‎ Yours,‎ Li__Hua
