2019-2020年高考英語總復(fù)習(xí)真題研練Week11Thursday含解析Task 1：閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。(xx·江蘇，D)Mark Twain has been called the inventor of the American novel.And he surely deserves additional praise: the man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism.I say clever because antislavery fiction had been the important part of the literature in the years before the Civil War.H.B.Stowes Uncle Toms Cabin is only the most famous example.These early stories dealt directly with slavery.With minor exceptions, Twain planted his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the surface about something else entirely.He drew his readers into the argument by drawing them into the story.Again and again，in the postwar years，Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race.Consider the most controversial，at least today，of Twains novels，Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.Only a few books have been kicked off the shelves as often as Huckleberry Finn，Twains most widely read tale.Once upon a time，people hated the book because it struck them as rude.Twain himself wrote that those who banned the book considered the novel“trash and suitable only for the slums(貧民窟)”More recently the book has been attacked because of the character Jim，the escaped slave，and many occurrences of the word nigger.(The term Nigger Jim，for which the novel is often severely criticized，never appears in it.)But the attacks were and are sillyand miss the point.The novel is strongly antislavery.Jims search through the slave states for the family from whom he has been forcibly parted is heroic.As JChadwick has pointed out，the character of Jim was a first in American fictiona recognition that the slave had two personalities，“the voice of survival within a white slave culture and the voice of the individual：Jim，the father and the man.”There is much more.Twains mystery novel Puddnhead Wilson stood as a challenge to the racial beliefs of even many of the liberals of his day.Written at a time when the accepted wisdom held Negroes to be inferior(低等的)to whites，especially in intelligence，Twains tale centered in part around two babies switched at birth.A slave gave birth to her masters baby and，for fear that the child should be sold South，switched him for the masters baby by his wife.The slaves lightskinned child was taken to be white and grew up with both the attitudes and the education of the slaveholding class.The masters wifes baby was taken for black and grew up with the attitudes and intonations of the slave.The point was difficult to miss：nurture(養(yǎng)育)，not nature，was the key to social status.The features of the black man that provided the stuff of prejudicemanner of speech，for examplewere，to Twain，indicative of nothing other than the conditioning that slavery forced on its victims.Twains racial tone was not perfect.One is left uneasy，for example，by the lengthy passage in his autobiography(自傳)about how much he loved what were called“nigger shows”in his youthmostly with white men performing in blackfaceand his delight in getting his mother to laugh at them.Yet there is no reason to think Twain saw the shows as representing reality.His frequent attacks on slavery and prejudice suggest his keen awareness that they did not.Was Twain a racist？Asking the question in the 21st century is as wise as asking the same of Lincoln.If we read the words and attitudes of the past through the“wisdom”of the considered moral judgments of the present，we will find nothing but error.Lincoln，who believed the black man the inferior of the white，fought and won a war to free him.And Twain，raised in a slave state，briefly a soldier，and inventor of Jim，may have done more to anger the nation over racial injustice and awaken its collective conscience than any other novelist in the past century.【語篇解讀】文學(xué)藝術(shù)類文章。馬克·吐溫是美國小說的創(chuàng)始人，在他的作品中智慧地體現(xiàn)出反對種族歧視的觀點(diǎn)。1How do Twains novels on slavery differ from Stowes?ATwain was more willing to deal with racism.BTwains attack on racism was much less open.CTwains themes seemed to agree with plots.DTwain was openly concerned with racism.答案B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第二段提到斯托夫人的小說直接指向奴隸制，而馬克·吐溫的小說則比較聰明地將這種觀點(diǎn)編織到故事之中，因此可知馬克·吐溫關(guān)于奴隸制的抨擊較為含蓄。2Recent criticism of Adventures of Huckleberry Finnarose partly from its_Atarget readers at the bottomBantislavery attitudeCrather impolite languageDfrequent use of “nigger”答案D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第三段倒數(shù)第二句More recently the book has been attacked because of the character Jim，.and many occurrences of the word nigger.可知這本書現(xiàn)在之所以受到抨擊一是書中人物Jim，二是nigger單詞頻繁使用。3What best proves Twains antislavery stand according to the author?AJims search for his family was described in detail.BThe slaves voice was first heard in American novels.CJim grew up into a man and a father in the white culture.DTwain suspected that the slaves were less intelligent.答案C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段和第六段可知，馬克·吐溫反對奴隸制，他認(rèn)為養(yǎng)育環(huán)境(nurture)而不是本性(nature)決定社會地位，因此Jim的故事一個(gè)黑人孩子在白人家庭成長的故事很好地揭示出他的立場，因此答案為C。4The story of two babies switched mainly indicates that_Aslaves were forced to give up their babies to their mastersBslaves babies could pick up slaveholders way of speakingCblacks social position was shaped by how they were brought upDblacks were born with certain features of prejudice答案C推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段和第六段內(nèi)容可知，Jim原本是個(gè)黑人的孩子，后被調(diào)換到白人家庭成長的故事標(biāo)志養(yǎng)育環(huán)境(nurture)而不是本性(nature)決定社會地位。因此可以推斷：Jim的故事表明黑人的社會地位是由生長環(huán)境造成的。5What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 7 refer to?AThe attacks. BSlavery and prejudice.CWhite men. DThe shows.答案D詞義猜測題。此處they指代前句中的復(fù)數(shù)名詞“shows”。6What does the author mainly argue for?ATwain had done more than his contemporary writers to attack racism.BTwain was an admirable figure parable to Abraham Lincoln.CTwains works had been banned on unreasonable grounds.DTwains works should be read from a historical point of view.答案A觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。從整篇文章可知，作者認(rèn)為馬克·吐溫在反對種族歧視方面做出了卓越貢獻(xiàn)。Task 2：詞匯積累1additional adj.附加的2literature n文學(xué)3exception n例外4argument n爭論5again and again 反復(fù)地6occurrence n發(fā)生；事件7miss the point沒抓住要領(lǐng)8survival n幸存9challenge n挑戰(zhàn)10for fear that 唯恐11represent vt.代表12prejudice n偏見13injustice n不公正14conscience n良心Task 3：經(jīng)典背誦1Again and again，in the postwar years，Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race.在戰(zhàn)后，馬克·吐溫似乎不得不再三面對種族的挑戰(zhàn)。2Once upon a time，people hated the book because it struck them as rude.從前，人們討厭這本書因?yàn)樗o他們留下粗魯?shù)挠∠蟆?
