Have you read Alice in Wonderland? Do you know the girl named Alice? But Mark Twain, a famous writer from America, once commented (评论), a warm and lovely girl, has been a touching character after Alice, after reading the book Anne of Green Gables.

Anne is an 11-year-old orphan (孤儿) who arrives in the town of Avoulea, Canada. She helps Mathew and Marilla Cuthbert, a brother and sister, on their farm.

At first, Mathew and Marilla hope to raise a boy, not a thin girl. Will she be helpful and useful on the farm? It seems unlikely: Anne is very imaginative, talkative and easily distracted (分心的). So at first she seems to be useless for a farm.

However, Annie proves that they are wrong. She works really hard on the farm. But she doesn’t lose her great sense of fun and this is why readers love the story. She doesn’t become “a good girl”, if “good girl” means knowing only how to work and live unhappily. We see Anne’s love for life everywhere. She knows how to enjoy herself.

Many stories for children are written to tell them how to behave well. Usually, it means doing one’s duty and not having any fun. But that’s not the kind of story Canadian writer Lucy Maud Montgomery wanted to tell. The book gives readers a helping hand rather than try to scare them into being “good” girls and boys.

22．Who is the writer of Anne of Green Gables?

A．Mark Twain.

B．Louisa May Alcott.

C．Charles Dickens.

D．Lucy Maud Montgomery.

23．Why do the brother and sister dislike Anne at first? 　 　

a. Anne is a thin girl. b. Anne is kind of lazy.

c. Anne is imaginative and talkative. d. Ann is easily distracted.

A．a, c, d B．a, b, c C．a, b, d D．b, c, d

24．What kind of person is Anne?

A．She likes to make fun of others.

B．She is a happy and useful person.

C．She has a strong body and works hard.

D．She knows how to work and lives unhappily.

That evening Holmes again wore different clothes, and a large, black hat. But it was not just the clothes that were different. He changed his face, his hair—everything. He was a different man.

We walked together to Serpentine Avenue. Outside the house there were a lot of people who were smoking, laughing and talking. Holmes and I walked up and down in front of the house.

“You see,” said Holmes to me, “I don’t think she wants her new husband to see the photo. But where is it? At her bank? No. Such a woman likes to keep important things herself. I’m sure it’s in her house.”

“But the King’s men tried to find it,” I said.

“Yes, but they didn’t know where to look for it!” said Holmes.

“But how will you know?” I asked.

“She’ll show me. She’ll have to.”

Just then Irene’s taxi arrived. One of the men in the street ran to open the door, and then another man pushed him. Other men were also pushing and shouting, and a fight began. Irene was in the middle of it, but Holmes ran to help her. Then suddenly he fell to the ground, with blood running down his face. Irene hurried to her front door, but she looked back. “How kind of him to help me! Is the poor man hurt?” she called.

“He’s dead,” cried some voices.

“No, he’s only hurt,” cried others.

“Bring him into the living room,” she said.

Some people carried Holmes into the house. I waited outside the window and watched. I saw how beautiful Irene was. Then Holmes put up his hand, and I threw the smoke-stick into the room. At once, the people in the street and in the house all began to shout “Fire!” very loudly. The house was full of smoke. I walked away, and ten minutes later Holmes came to meet me.

“Well done, Watson,” he said.

“Have you got the photo?” I asked.

“I know where it is. She showed me.” he answered.

“But why did she show you?”

“It’s easy,” he said, and laughed. “You saw all those people in the street? I paid them to help us. It wasn’t a real fight and the blood wasn’t real. When people shout ‘Fire!’, a woman runs to the most important thing in her house, her baby, her gold, or…a photo. Irene ran to find her photo which is in a cupboard in the living room. I saw it. But I did not take it. Tomorrow we will go to the palace and tell it to the King first. And then we will go to the house with the King. We will go very early, before she gets up. The King himself can take the photo from the cupboard. And then we’ll go.”

28．At first, Holmes changed his clothes in order to ________.

A．hide his real looks

B．take a taxi easily

C．make him smarter

D．catch Irene’s attention

29．What can we know about the photo?

A．It was locked at Irene’s bank and nobody knew.

B．It was important and hidden somewhere carefully.

C．The king put it in the palace’s cupboard secretly.

D．The king asked Holmes to burn it at Irene’s home.

30．What is the correct order of the following sentences? 　 　

a. Holmes changed his looks.   b. Holmes helped Irene.

c. Watson threw the smoke-stick.   d. Irene ran to the cupboard.

e. Holmes paid a lot of men.

A．a-b-c-d-e

B．a-c-d-e-b

C．e-a-b-c-d

D．e-c-d-b-a

I was often told by my mother and grandmother that worrying is a big waste of time. Always hope for the best, they said, but make sure you’re     48     (prepare) for the worst.

I started worrying when I was four, the day my brother Joe was born prematurely(早产) and hairless. He spent weeks in an incubator(恒温箱), after which we were told he had cerebral palsy(脑瘫),     49     (may) never walk and was totally blind.

For Joe, things often seemed to go from bad to     50     (bad). Going to school meant leaving home as a little boy to live in a dorm. Finding a job and a sense of independence was really     51     (possible) for him.

He lives alone now in public housing. But for everything that has been hard for him, Joe has said thanks. He has taught     52     (I) by example that being thankful builds hope. If we remember all the ways we’ve been blessed(祝福), it’s easier to believe we’ll be blessed again.

My sister called me     53     the phone this morning and told me Joe was in hospital. He had infections(感染) in both legs. He’ll probably be there for a few days.

I called him right away. Joe said, “Don’t worry about me. I’m just thankful for all these people at the hospital     54     (take) such good care of me.”

We need to see     55     (clear) like brother—not with our eyes,     56     with our hearts. Being thankful is a light that shines in the soul, turning worry into hope, weakness into     57     (strong), fear into joy, and worries into warriors(战士) .

61．例文：

Learn to when Are Much

These days, more and more students are living under great pressure. First of all, our parents often compare ourselves with others. They always think that we are not as good as other people’s children. Second, we sometimes have a lot of pressure on ourselves. We want to improve our grades, but we can’t find the right way to learn and so on.

Although there is a lot of pressure, we can find many ways to solve the problem. Firstly, we can be in control of our moods and learn to communicate with others. Secondly, we can dream of a bright future and keep a passion for life.

There are more ways than difficulties, so learn to smile.
