Langhorne Clemens was welcomed into the world as the sixth child of John Marshall and Jane Lampton Clemens.Little did John and Jane know,their son Samuel would one day be known as Mark TwainAmericas most famous literary(文学) icon(偶像).Samuels father was a judge,and he built a two-story frame house at 206 Hill Street in 1844.As a child,Samuel was kept indoors because of poor health.However,at the age of nine,he seemed to recover from his ailments and then attended a private school in Hannibal.When Samuel was 12,his father died of pneumonia(肺炎),and at 13,Samuel left school to become a printers apprentice(学徒).After two short years,he joined his brother Orions newspaper as a printer and an editorial assistant.It was there that young Samuel found he enjoyed writing.At 17,he left Hannibal for a printers job in St.Louis.While in St.Louis,Samuel became a river pilots apprentice.He became a licensed river pilot in 1858.Samuels pen name,Mark Twain,comes from his days as a river pilot.It is a river term which means 12 feet when the depth of water for a boat is being measured.“Mark Twain” means that is safe to navigate(航行).In 1861,Samuel began working as a newspaper reporter for several newspapers all over the United States.In 1870,he married Olivia Langdon.Mark Twain began to gain fame when his story,The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County appeared in The New York Saturday Press on November 18,1865.Mark Twains first book,The Innocents Abroad,was published in 1869,The Adventures of Tom Sawyer in 1876,and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in 1885.He wrote 28 books and numerous short stories,letters and other articles.Mark Twain passed away on April 21,1910,but has a following still today.His childhood home is open to the public as a museum in Hannibal.Walking tours are given in New York City of places that Mark Twain visited near his birthday every year.25.What does the underlined word “ailments” refer

apprentice.b.Samuel Clemens became a licensed river pilot.c.Samuel Clemens attended a private school in Hannibal.d.Samuel Clemens first book,The Innocents Abroad,was published.e.Samuel Clemens began

write.答案:D解析:细节理解题。文章第四段提到了马克吐温笔名的来历;第六段提到他的主要作品;第三、四、五段均提到他做过的工作。只有D项在文中没有提及。CWealth starts with a goal and saving a dollar at a time.Call it the piggy bank plan.There are lessons in that historic coin-savings container(容器).Any difficult task seems easier when started from baby steps.If you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain,and could do it a day at a time,you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year.If you want to take a really nice trip,to collect the $15,000 cost,you have to save $3.93 a day.If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account,you will have your trip money.When I was a child,my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that,if I wanted something,I should save money to buy it.We connect piggy banks with children,but in many countries,the little containers are also popular with adults.Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of being rich.Around the world,many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Years Day brings good luck and wealth.Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving?Why not an elephant bank,which is bigger and holds more coins?In the Middle Ages,before modern banking,skillful workers made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土)called “pygg,” and people then saved coins in pygg jars.As “pygg” pronounced much like the Middle English word “pigge” meaning “pig”,gradually,the two words changed into the same pronunciation.Once a clever worker made a pygg jar in the shape of a pig,pleasing children and adults.The piggy bank was born.In the past,you had to break the bank to get the money,bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings.While piggy banks teach children the value of saving,adults often need to relearn childhood lessons.Think about the things in life that need a large sum of moneycollege education,weddings,starting a business,buying a home,and fun things like great trips.So when you have money,take off the top 10%,put it aside,save and use it wisely.29.What is the piggy bank plan?A.Setting a goal before making a travel plan.B.Putting aside a little money regularly for future use.C.Having determination even when doing small things.D.Climbing a mountain a little a day before reaching the top.答案:B 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段第一、二句可知,存钱罐计划就是经常存储一些钱以备后用。30.Why did the writers parents give him a piggy bank as a gift?A.To help him develop the habit of saving.B.To encourage him to climb mountains.C.To please him with the latest fashion.D.To teach him English pronunciation.答案:A 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“When I was a child,my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that,if I wanted something,I should save money to buy it.”可知,作者的父母给他一个存钱罐,就是为了帮助他养成存钱的习惯。31.The piggy bank was first .A.a pig-like toy for childrenB.a workers toolC.an animal-look dishD.a cheap clay container答案:D解析:细节理解题。根据第四段第三句中的“these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土) called pygg,and people then saved coins in pygg jars.”可知,存钱罐最初是一个黏土制成的容器。故选D项。32.What does the last paragraph talk about?A.The enjoyment of taking a great trip.B.The importance of managing money. C.The difficulty of starting a business.D.The seriousness of educating children.答案:B 解析:主旨大意题。根据短文最后一段第二句可知,本段主要讲述存钱的重要性。故选B项。 DWe buy things,use them,and then throw away the packaging,largely unaware that most of our trash ends up in landfills where it can sit for decades,polluting the soil and ecosystems around it.Reducing the amount of garbage we produce is one of the best ways to save our planet.From Jan.1 to Dec.31,2010,I saved every piece of my garbage.No,Im not homeless,and I didnt lose my mind.Keeping all my trashin my bedroommeant living with the result of my daily decisions,which led me to make great changes in my lifestyle.I should make it clear that I saved all my nonbiodegradable(不能生物降解的)trashthings like glass and plastics,which dont rot naturally.I set aside other biodegradable waste for composting(制成堆肥).Just as I washed my dishes,I cleaned my soda cans,potato chip bags,and juice bottles with soap and water and hung them to dry.“Doesnt your trash smell?”people often asked.As long as I washed and dried everything,it didnt smell.I believe that “waste” is actually a resource that can be used rather than dis
