    Imagine landing in a foreign country where you cannot speak the language, understand the culture and don’t know anybody. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a friend who could help you out?
    John Smith, an English explorer who landed in America in 1607, found the best friend ever. She was a Native American named Pocahontas (1595-1617). And she did more than teach Smith the language: she saved his life, twice.
    Smith was captured(捕捉) by members of Pocahontas’s tribe(部落) and was going to be killed. But for some reason, the Chief’s daughter, Pocahontas, felt sorry for Smith (who was probably the first white man she had ever seen) and threw her body over his to protect him. Smith returned safely to the small village he was living in. During the winter the English settlers did not know how to get food from nature. Pocahontas often brought food for Smith and his friends.
    A year later Pocahontas’s father tried to kill Smith again because the Native Americans were very scared the English would try to take over their land. Pocahontas warned him and he was able to escape. Later she became a Christian and eventually married an Englishman named John Rolfe. She spent the last year of her life in London. Pocahontas has become an American legend. Her life story has been re-created in many books and films, including Disney’s 1995 film, Pocahontas.
    One of the reasons she is so popular is that many Europeans look at Pocahontas as an excellent example of how a minority can adjust into the majority. Pocahontas is also respected because of her selfless love. She proved that people can be kind and loving even to people of a different race or culture. John Smith was very different from Pocahontas but she could see he was a good man and that was all that mattered. No race or country owns goodness, love and loyalty.
    小题1: What difficulties might early European settlers meet in America EXCEPT ___________?
    A．the fierce conflict with Native Americans
    B．lack of food in winter
    C．bad-tempered natives who enjoyed killing
    D．unfamiliarity with a foreign land
    小题2: Pocahontas saved John Smith twice because ___________.
    A．she believed in general kindness even to people of a different race
    B．she wanted to become a Christian and marry an English
    C．he was the first white man she had ever seen in her life
    D．she was on the settlers’ side and against her cruel father
    小题3:Which is Not an element to make Pocahontas a legend?
    A．Her tribal background and her marriage to a white settler.
    B．The recreation of her life story in the 1995 Disney film.
    C．Her complicated life story different from common people’s
    D．Her selfless help to people regarded as enemy of her tribe.
    小题4:What can we infer from the passage?
    A．People from different cultures can never really get along well with each other.
    B．The Europeans think the early settlers should have learned to adjust to the local cultures.
    C．The creation of America is based on the settlers’ victory over the Native Americans.
    D．The battles between early settlers and Native Americans resulted from their fighting for land.

    小题1:C
    小题2:A
    小题3:B
    小题4:D

    试题分析：
    小题1:细节题。阅读全文可以知道，早期的欧洲拓荒者遇到的困难显然没有C选项描述的本族人性格残暴，喜欢杀戮这个描述。故C选项符合题意
    小题2:推断题。根据文章中最后一段第三行Pocahontas is also respected because of her selfless love，Pocahontas就斯密斯是出自他无私的爱，这种爱是不分种族和国度的故A正确
    小题3:细节题。根据文章最后一段对Pocahontas成名的描述可知 根据她的生平于1995年拍的迪斯尼电影显然不是她成名的原因，而是成名的结果 故D正确
    小题4:推断题。根据文章第四段的描述可以推断早期拓荒者和本族美国人之间的战争史由他们之间争夺地盘而起 。 故D正确
    点评：该篇文章主要讲述了Pocahontas传奇的一生，也就是Pocahontas女士是如何通过自己无私的行为和对他人无私的爱，最终让她名噪一时。文章传达了我们应该多去爱别人，去宽容别人，特别是和自己种族，国度乃至信仰不一致的人。文章集中考察了细节题和推断题，考生在作答时应找对答案区域，以细节题为起始点，通过推断，演绎等手段做推断题，大大提高准确率。

    It was Monday. Mrs. Smith’s dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house. Considering that there was no better way, Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it “Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently, “Take this to the butcher（屠夫）, and he’s going to give you your lunch today.” Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher’s. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady’s handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once. At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more. The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers(顾客). But, the dog came again at four o’clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher’s more surprise, it came for the third time at six o’clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled.

    Most dog owners feel that their dogs are their best friends. Almost everyone likes dogs because they try hard to please their owners. One of my favorite stories is about a dog who wanted his owner to please him.
    One of my friends has a large German shepherd ( 牧羊狗) named Jack. Every Sunday afternoon, my friend takes Jack for a walk in the park. Jack likes these long walks very much. One Sunday afternoon, a young man came to visit my friend. He stayed a long time, and he talked and talked.
    Soon it was time for my friend to take Jack for his walk, but the visitor didn’t leave. Jack became very worried about his walk in the park.

    In earliest times, men considered lightning to be one of the great mysteries of nature. Some ancient people believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons of the gods.
    In reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth. A single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs .
    The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752. In the same year he also built the first lightning rod (避雷针). This device protects buildings from being damaged by lightning.
    Modern science has discovered that one stroke of lightning has a voltage (电压) of more than 15 million volts (伏特). A flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second.
    Scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year. In the United States alone it kills an average of one person every day.
    The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under tress. Also on,e should stay out of water and away from metal fences. Inside a house, people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things.
    With lightning, it is better to be safe than sorry.
    小题1:People once thought lightning came from ________.
    A．the godsB．the earth
    C．the skyD．nature
    小题2:According to the passage what do you think all buildings need?
    A．Metal fences.B．Machines.
    C．Electricity. D．Lightning rods
    小题3:Lightning can travel ________.
    A．as quickly as waterB．not so quickly as electricity
    C．at very high speed D．at very low speed
    小题4:Which of the following is NOT true?
    A．In the U.S about one person per day dies from lightning.
    B．Swimming during a thunder storm is a good idea.
    C．The Empire State Building frequently gets hit by lightning.
    D．A closed car is the best place to be during an electrical storm.
