Privately he doubted whether this visit would do much towards helping with his nerve problem.I know how it will be, his sister had said, People there are nice. I shall just give you letters of introduction to all the people I know there. Framton wondered whether Mrs. Sappleton, the lady to whom he was presenting one of the letters of introduction came into the nice division.Do you know many of the people round here? asked the niece.Hardly a soul, said Framton.Then you know practically nothing about my aunt. Her great tragedy（悲剧） happened just three years ago, said the child, “Out through that window, her husband and her two young brothers went off for their days shooting. They never came back. Poor aunt always thinks that they will come back someday. She has often told me about Ronnie, her youngest brother, singing Bertie, why do you bound?At this time, Mrs. Sappleton came in, greeting, “I hope you dont mind the open window. She talked on cheerfully about the shooting. To Framton it was all purely horrible. He made a desperate but only partially successful effort to turn the talk on to a less scary topic. The doctors agree in ordering me complete rest, and an absence of mental excitement. he announced, On the matter of diet they are not so much in agreement, he continued.No? said Mrs. Sappleton, in a voice which only replaced a yawn at the last moment. Here they are at last! she suddenly cried. In the deepening dusk out came three figures with a tired brown spaniel(猎犬). And then a young voice rang out of the dusk, I said, Bertie, why do you bound?Framton grabbed wildly at his stick and hat, without a word of goodbye, and rushed out of sight.“What is up? Mrs. Sappleton was confused.I expect it was the spaniel, said the niece calmly, He told me that he was once hunted into a tomb by a pack of dogs, and had to spend the night in a newly dug tomb with the creatures barking just above him. Enough to make anyone lose their nerve.Romance at short notice was her specialty.1.

In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century a series of technological advances led to the Industrial Revolution.Britains position as the worlds preeminent trader helped fund research and experimentation.The nation was also gifted by some of the worlds greatest reserves of coal，the main fuel of the new revolution.Notes：naval adj.海的cede vt.放弃treaty n条约preeminent adj.卓越的；优秀的长短句分析：The American colonies providing tobacco，cotton，and rice in the south and naval material and furs in the north were less financially successful，but had large areas of good agricultural land and attracted far larger numbers of British immigrants.句法点睛：本句中，“providing tobacco，cotton，and rice in the south and naval material and furs in the north”为定语，修饰colonies；but连接两个谓语。句意：美洲的殖民地，南方提供了烟草、棉花、水稻，北方提供了海产品和皮毛，这从经济上不是很成功，但是肥沃的农业用地吸引了大量的英国移民。【语篇解读】 现代大不列颠帝国的雏形开始于17世纪，当时英国占领了现在美国、加拿大临海的一些省份以及北美一些岛屿国家的地方。英国进行了残酷的殖民统治，从当地人手中夺取了大量的土地。南方为英国人提供烟草、棉花和水稻，而北方则提供大量的优质农业用地。经过多年的战争，英国人从法国人手中夺取了土地，并与当地人签署协议，成为合法的土地使用者。这里的煤炭为18世纪晚期和19世纪早期的工业革命提供了能源保证。1Where did the British first settle when they first came to America in the 17th century?AOnly the United States.BNot only the United States but also parts of other countries.CThe whole of Canada.DSmall islands.答案B细节理解题。由“the original United States，as well as Canadas Maritime provinces，and the colonizations of the smaller islands of the Caribbean such as Trinidad and Tobago，the Bahamas，Barbados，and Jamaica”可知，当时英国占领的不仅仅是美国，还占领了加拿大的临海省份，以及一些岛屿国家。2According to the passage what in America made the British interested most?ATobacco，cotton，and rice.BNaval material and furs.CA great deal of good farmland.DForests.答案C联系第二段中的“naval material and furs in the north were less financially successful，but had large areas of good agricultural land and attracted far larger numbers of British immigrants”可知，英国移民看上的不是海产品和皮毛，而是大量的肥沃土地。3What does the underlined word “pressed” mean in the third paragraph?ATouched. BPushed. CPublished. DExtended.答案D词义猜测题。联系“westward in search of new agricultural lands”可知，这些殖民者向西扩张以寻求更多的土地，因此D项最合适。4How many years was it from the first war with Anglo to the end of the last war in history?A132 years. B162 years. C172 years. D108 years.答案A推理判断题。第一次战争开始于1652年，而最后一次战争结束于1784年，因此得出答案A。社会生活类- 201*山东卷 阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。San Francisco has its cable cars. Seattle has its Space Needle. And, Longview has its squirrel bridge. The bridge, which has attracted international attention, is now a local landmark. The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder, Amos Peters, to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars. The original bridge was built over Olympia Way on the west edge of the library grounds. Before the bridge was built, squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office building where office staff put out a nutty feast for the squirrels. Many times, Peters and others who worked in and near Park Plaza witnessed squirrels being run over. One day Peters found a dead squirrel with a nut still in its mouth, and that days coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety. The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge idea and formed a committee to ask the blessing of the City Council(市政会).

They built the 60foot bridge from aluminum and lengths of fire hose (消防水带). It cost $1,000. It didnt take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started. Squirrels were even seen guiding their young and teaching_them_the_ropes. The story was picked up by the media, and Nutty Narrows became known in newspapers all over the world. In 1983, after 20 years of use, Peters took down the wornout bridge. Repairs were made and crosspieces were replaced. The faded sign was repainted and in July 1983, hundreds of animal lovers attended the completion ceremony of the new bridge. Peters died in 1984, and a tenfoot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion to the project.67. The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in order to _.
