“Mark Twain” was the name used by Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835～1910) when he wrote books.His father was a lawyer，but a poor one，who lived in Florida，Missouri.The family was so poor that Samuel did not receive much teaching.He had to learn all that he could from the people whom he met.His father died when he was very young，and then there was even less money than before. Many of the men in this part of America worked in the ships on the great Mississippi River，and he did this himself at one time (1857). Where did he find the name “Mark Twain”？ It came from the great river itself.It was part of one of the cries used by men who worked in the ships.When a man called “By the mark twain！” he meant that the river was “two marks deep” there，that is to say，six feet deep ( “Twain” is an old form of the word “Two”.) Samuel Clemens often heard these words when he was young，and he used them as a pen name all his life. During his work on the Mississippi he met travelers of all kinds，and this helped him a great deal when he started to write.But the number of travelers became smaller when war started in America in 1861.Many of the great ships on the river stopped work.Samuel left then and went to Nevada with his brother，who was at that time Governor of Nevada.There，near the town of Carson，Samuel became a gold miner，but he never made much money at the time.He soon saw that life in the gold mines was not for him.He also tried writing for the newspapers in Nevada，and this seemed more hopeful.He found that he could write. He went to Europe in 1867 and visited France and Italy.In 1870 he married Olivia Langdon，and two years later he was spending nearly all his time writing.Among his books is his own story (1908). He is now always known as Mark Twain，and many people do not even know that his family name was Clemens.He traveled in America and in England，and went to Oxford in 1907.He was one of the great American writers of the time，and could make his readers laugh—a thing which few writers can do.He died in 1910. 1.“Mark Twain” was . A.a famous American writer B.name of a book C.a great river in America D.a large ship 2.As a child，Samuel did not get much education because . A.his father died too early B.the family was very poor C.he disliked school very much D.he could learn what he liked from the people he met 3.What gave him a great deal when he started writing? A.His poor childhood. B.The Mississippi River. C.All kinds of travelers he met. D.His brother. 4.We can infer（推断）from the passage that . A.Samuel loved writing from his early age B.Samuel did not love writing at the beginning C.his writings to the newspaper were successful D.his brother encouraged him to write more 5.According to the writer of the passage，a good writer could .

Science has told us too much about the moon that it is fairly easy to imagine what it would be like to get there. It is certainly not a friendly place. Since there is no air or water, there can be no life of any kind. There is not much variety of scenery either. For mile after mile there are only flat plains of dust with mountains around them. Above, the sun and stars shine in the black sky. If you step out of the mountain shadow, it means moving from the severe cold into intense (强烈的) heat. These extreme temperatures continually break rocks away from the surface of the mountains. The moon is also a very silent world, for sound waves can only travel through air. But beyond the broken horizon, you see a friendly sight. Our earth is shining more brightly than the stars. From this distance, it looks like an immense (巨大的) blue, green and brown ball. 1.The moon is an unfriendly place because . A. there is no air, no water, no life, no scenery B. the sun and stars shine in the sky C. temperature breaks rock away D. all of the above 2.Without , the moon is a silent world. A. man B. air C. sound D. water 3.According to the passage we know that . A. the earth looks like a colored ball B. we can enjoy the scenery on the moon C. every inch of the moon is very hot D. the extreme temperature breaks rocks away from the surface of mountains 4.We can conclude（断定） that “continually” means . A. sometimes B. always C. without break D. frequently 5.The best title for the passage is . A. An Unfriendly and Friendly Place B. The Geography of the Moon C. Moon, a Silent World D. The Moon

Thanksgiving Day is a special holiday in the United States and Canada.Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing. Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival.This is why it is celebrated in late fall，after the crops are in. But one of the first thanksgivings in America had nothing to do with a good harvest.On December 4,1619，the Pilgrims from England landed near what is now Charles City，Virginia.They knelt down and thanked God for their safe journey across the Atlantic. The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest.The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth，Massachusetts，in 1620.They had a difficult time and the first winter was cruel.Many of the Pilgrims died. But the next year，they had a good harvest.So Governor Bradford declared a threeday feast (盛宴).The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them for their special feast. Everyone brought food. In time，other colonies (殖民地) began to celebrate a day of thanksgiving. But it took years before there was a national Thanksgiving Day. During the Civil War，Sarah Josepha Hale persuaded Abraham Lincoln to do something about it. He proclaimed (宣布) the last Thursday of November 1863 as a day of thanksgiving. Today, Americans celebrate this happy harvest festival on the fourth Thursday in November.Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving Day in much the same way as their American neighbours.But the Canadian Thanksgiving Day falls on the second Monday in October. 1.Thanksgiving Day is celebrated . A.in spring B.in summer C.in autumn D.in winter 2.The first to celebrate thanksgiving were .
