答案
解析
本文是描述一个小偷要他在陪审团的朋友为他解脱罪责的故事。
1. B。根据上文“偷钱被警察抓住了”可判断是“审判”就要开始了。
2. C。根据前面的“偷钱”和“审判”得出答案,他认为“肯定”会被判入狱好长时间。
3. D。根据下文得出答案“他‘发现’他的朋友吉姆是陪审团的成员之一”。
4. A。因为他是犯人,所以是“秘密地”见他朋友。
5. D。根据上文,想找吉姆,其目的是希望不被“治罪”。
6. C。be grateful to sb(对某人感激)是固定用法。
7. C。表示希望吉姆“说服”其他陪审团的成员。
8. A。add 表示“增加、补充”,add up表示“把几个数加起来”,increase在此处不适合。
9. B。根据上文,找吉姆说服其他成员为他解脱罪责,是希望他们对他有些“怜悯”。
10. C。根据下文,“因为是老朋友”得出答案吉姆“一定会”为他尽力。
11. B。根据上下文可知是表示转折关系。
12. C。因为已为事实,只能是尽力,所以吉姆说“不能保证使你非常‘满意’”。
13. C。on term with sb.意为“和某人相处”是固定短语。
14. C。因为他朋友吉姆在陪审团,他又愿意为他尽力,所以他感到很“高兴”。
15. C。因为审判后有一段时间没“机会”见到吉姆了。
16. B。根据上下文推断是转折关系,其余选项不符句子的逻辑关系。

18. A。根据上下文可知句意是“像我所想的那样,那些人很难说服”。

Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard. The animal howled(吼叫) and put its head back. Jeb followed up with his other fist. Then out of the corner of his eye. Jeb saw Tom.

Sandra Cisneros was born in Chicago in 1954 to a Mexican American family. As the only girl in a family of seven children, she often felt like she had “seven fathers,” because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated(躲避) into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school because she was too shy to participate.
In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because her thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the university’s Writers’ Workshop, however, she felt lonely----a Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her “Creative voice.”
“It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didn’t think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance in my life, but it had everything to do with it! That’s when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldn’t write about.”
Cisneros published her first work, The House on Mango Street, when she was twenty-nine. The book tells about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish-speaking area in Chicago, much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school through graduate school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a children’s book, and a short-story collection.
小题1:Which of the following is TRUE about Cisneros in her childhood?
A.She had seven brothers. | B.She felt herself a nobody. |
C.She was too shy to go to school. | |
D.She did not have any good teachers. |
A.work for a school magazine | B.run away from her family |
C.make a lot of friends | D.develop her writing style |
A.Her early years in college. | B.Her training in the Workshop. |
C.Her feeling of being different. | D.Her childhood experience. |
A.It is quite popular among students. |
B.It is the only book ever written by Cisneros. |
C.It wasn’t success as it was written in Spanish. |
D.It won an award when Cisneros was twenty-nine. |
