i dont know whether it was loyalty or pride that kept us silent, but i can see now that we were foolish to keep quiet about it, for such beatings were completely foreign to our nature.1the statement “my hands and my fingers still remember” (para.1) means that_athe authors hands were severely injured in the cleaning upbthe author seldom did such hard work as the cleaning upcthe author was bullied by the big boys in the cleaning updthe authors hands were his only tool for the cleaning up2the headmaster would tell the students to clean up the school yard at the beginning of the term because_ahe was too lazy bthere were many fallen leaves on the groundcthe school yard was covered with muddthe students didnt finish their homework3the headmaster asked the older boys to_abeat those who worked slowlybtreat the small boys as peanutsctake charge of the process of the cleaning upddo the cleaning up all by themselves4according to para. 3, if the author had any money on him, he most probably_agave it to the big boys so as to please thembgave it as a bride to the headmastercspent it all on his midday mealdspent it buying midday meals for the big boys(三)years ago a farmer owned land along the atlantic. he constantly advertised for hired hands. most people were not willing to work on farms along the atlantic because they worried about the terrible storms that destroyed buildings and crops. the farmer received a steady stream of refusals at the interview for a farmhand.finally, a short, thin man approached the farmer. “are you a good farmhand？” the farmer asked him.“well, i can sleep when the wind blows, ” answered the little man.although puzzled by this answer，the farmer, desperate for help, hired him. the little man worked well around the farm，busy from dawn to dusk, and the farmer felt satisfied with the mans work.then one night the wind howled loudly from offshore. jumping out of bed，the farmer grabbed a lantern and rushed next door to the hired hands sleeping quarters. he shook the little man and yelled, “get up! a storm is coming! tie things down before they are blown away！”the little man rolled over in bed and said firmly, “no, sir. i told you, i can sleep when the wind blows.”enraged (激怒)by the response, the farmer was tempted to fire him on the spot.instead, he hurried outside to prepare for the storm. to his amazement，he discovered that all of the hay had been covered. the cows were in the barn，the chickens were in the coops，and the doors were barred. the shutters were tightly secured. everything was tied down. nothing could be blown away.the farmer then understood what his hired hand meant, so he also returned to his bed to sleep while the wind was still blowing.1why did the farmer constantly advertise for hired hands?abecause he needed hired hands all the year round.bbecause there was too much work to do on the farm.cbecause he could hardly hire a farmhand.dbecause he offered poor conditions for the hired hands.2the farmer felt amazed because _athe little man was sleepingbeverything was in safetycthe wind was too strongdhe could not open the doors3what did the man mean by saying “i can sleep when the wind blows”？ahe needed much sleep after working hard on the farm.bhe was very brave and not afraid of wind.che enjoyed sleeping when the wind blew.dhe would get everything done before the wind blew.4which of the following statements about the little man is true?ahe was not afraid of storms.bhe was a heavy sleeper under any condition.che was hardworking and devoted to his work.dhe was fired shortly after he tied everything down.专题限时训练(十六)(一)【要点综述】本文叙述了一个英国农场少年阿尔伯特的父亲为了维持农场，无奈之下将马儿乔伊卖给军队，为前线运送军火物资。阿尔伯特和他心爱的马不得不分离。1a细节理解题。根据“when the family begins to feel the financial impact of war，alberts father secretly sells joey to an army officer named captain nicholls.”可知选a。2c细节理解题。根据“albert is too young，but nicholls promises to take good care of joey for him.nicholls treats joey well.”可知captain nicholls是一个守信用的人。故选c。3d词义猜测题。根据“when the german army moves out of the area，emilie and her grandfather keep the two horses.”可知他们喜欢马。故选d。4b推理判断题。根据最后一段可知选b。(二)【要点综述】本文为记叙文。文中作者回忆了早年读书期间，暑假返校清除落叶的一段经历。1d细节理解题。作者一开始用了两个remember表明他对暑假返校要清除落叶一事记忆深刻。第二段提到在为学校清除落叶时没有别的工具，唯一的工具就是手，由此可推断“手和指尖都记得”是因为在大扫除中，作者的手作为唯一的清洁工具受了不少的罪。2b细节理解题。第一段最后一句提到假期过后学校会堆满落叶，第二段校长发布学生大扫除的命令，两者之间的因果关系显而易见，因此本题应选b项。3c细节理解题
