fathers wishes too much.”his face relaxed a little, but one of his feet kept beating the carpet.“no, if we are going to withdraw(退出)from our planned marriage, it will be because of your wish, not mine.”“mine?”he said in great surprise.“what reason could i have for withdrawing?”“a reason that is very hard to tell you,”she answered. “there is a change in me.”his face went so pale that even his lips lost their color. he turned his head to one side.“what change?” he asked, trying to appear calm.“when the promise was made two years ago,”she said,“my love did not belong to anyone. will you forgive me, sir percival, if i tell you that it now belongs to another person?”“i wish you to understand,” laura continued,“that i will never see this person again, and that if you leave me, you only allow me to remain a single woman for the rest of my life. all i ask is that you forgive me and keep my secret.”“i will do both those things,” he said. then he looked at laura, as if he was waiting to hear more.“i think i have said enough to give you reason to withdraw from our marriage,”she added quietly.“no. you have said enough to make it the dearest wish of my life to marry you,”he said.【文章大意】本文为小说节选,是关于percival和 laura的对话。 percival 的未婚妻laura 在订婚后爱上了别人,laura决定退婚,但percival 还是决定要娶她。60.how did percival feel during his meeting with

england(the countryside) including remote english villages.the theme:the main theme is a teenage search of self-discovery, in this case the search for a mother from whom the hero was separated at an early age. its other concerns are love, getting on with others, being persistent and courageous and trying to deal with doubts, troubles and worries. as the book moves to a close, james swimming coach says to him:you are not like a kid obeying instructions any more. you are diving like a young man who knows where he is going.the characters:james is the hero of the story. he is a championship diver, and has a comfortable life with his foster parents(养父母). yet he also has the qualities to take him on a long journey to find his birth mother. the other characters in the snake-stone, james parents, his diving instructor, best friend, the villagers, people he meets on his journey, are pictured realistically.the turning point:the turning point in the story comes while james foster parents are away in london, and he wonders about the identity of his birth mother. the only clue he has is a fossil, the snake stone which she left behind along with a note on which she had written, take good care of sammie. it was written on a torn envelope with parts of an address still there.the journey:instead of going to london, james decides to find his birth mother. with help from his geography teacher, james sets out for the remote country village where his mother might be found. james has painful, challenging, but also humorous and happy travels. the mother he finally meets, anne, has a minor yet powerful voice in the novel. he comes to understand why she left him at a strangers door fifteen years before. although the meeting is not long, it leaves him with a feeling of completeness. as a journey of self-discovery the snake-stone also provides its readers with a happy ending. its hero says, on returning to his foster parents,i was home.【文章大意】文章主要介绍了the snake-stone这本书里的主要人物及故事梗概,并说明了生活中自我发现的重要性。61.what is the main theme of the novel?a.life with foster parents.b.life in the world of diving.c.a journey of self-discovery.d.a travel around the country.【解析】选c。细节理解题。由第二段第一句中的“a teenage search of self-discovery”可知,本书的主题是“一个少年的自我探索”,所以选c。a项意思是“和养父母的生活”;b项意思是“潜水的生活”;d项意思是“在农村的旅行”,都与书的内容不符,故不选。62.what do the coachs words in paragraph 2 suggest?a.james is a successful diver.b.james is a hopeful swimmer.c.james is an outgoing young man.d.james is an independent young man.【解析】选d。推理判断题。在第二段的最后教练的话意思是:你不再像一个只是服从命令的孩子了。你像一个知道要去哪里的年轻人一样在跳水。教练的话,自然是说詹姆斯是一个能够独立的年轻人了。63.the snake stone in the novel is .a.a stone with an address on itb.a clue left by the birth motherc.a gift from the swimming coachd.a fossil left by the foster parents【解析】选b。细节理解题。从第四段的“the only clue he has is a fossil,the snake stone.”可知,the snake stone是生母留下的一个“线索”。64.which of the following is true about the novel?a.the story has a sad ending.b.the story takes place in the city of london.c.the characters are vividly described.d.the turning point comes after the hero meets his birth mother.【解析】选c。细节理解题。a项是说故事有一个悲哀的结局,而文中最后一段提到儿子见到了自己的生母,并且在文章倒数第二句也提到了the snake-stone提供给人们一个“开心的结局”,不是“悲哀”的结局;b项是说“故事发生的地点是在伦敦城”,而文章中是说“儿子在农村寻找生母”,不是在“城里”;d项意思是“转折点是在主人公见到生母之后”,而原文第四段第一句提到“转折点是在詹姆斯想知道自己的生母的身份时”。原文第三段最后的单词realistically是个副词,意思是“现实地;实际地;逼真地”,因此c项“(小说中的)人物被描写得很逼真”,是正确答案。65.it can be concluded that james journey is .a.worthwhile b.boringc.comfortable d.disappointing【解析】选a。推理判断题。a项意为“值得做的”;b项意为“乏味的”;c项意为“舒适的”;d项意为“失望的”。第五段第三句“james has painful,challenging, but also humorous and happy travels”可知詹姆斯的旅行是“值得做的”。b、c、d三项都是片面的,不选。【长难句分析】the only clue he has is a fossil,the snake stonewhich she left behind along with a note on which she had written,take good care of sammie.分析：句中he has是定语从句,修饰 the only clue; which she left behind是定语从句,修饰the snake stone; on which she had written是定语从句,修饰note。译文：他所拥有的惟一的线索是她留下的一块化石“蛇石”和一个她写的“照顾好塞米”的纸条。passage 3（2011全国卷i b）about twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio(影棚)to take part in a crowd-scene.although our “act” would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.we all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path.very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position.the director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby.since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path.a big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in “snow”.two more fans were turned on, and a “strong wind” blew through the trees.the picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.the next scene was a complete contrast (对比).the way it was filmed was quite unusual.pictures taken on an island in the pacific were shown on a glass screen (幕).an actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the waters edge on an island.by a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us.for a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film “stars”!【文章大意】本文主要讲作者有幸被邀请做群众演员,观看了电影拍摄的一些画面,并对这些画面进行了详细地描述。60.who is the author?a.a cameraman.b.a
