For some people, Fidel Castro was a hero. He freed his country from the control of the United States. Others hated him – there were 638 attempts to murder him. But no one would say that the bearded Castro, who always dressed in green, was not a fighter.
In 2008, the 81-year-old president of Cuba (古巴) stepped down, saying that his poor health kept him from leading his country any longer. “Years of fighting against the US have led to it,” said one professor in Cuba.
Castro was born in 1926, to a rich family of Cuban sugar planters. Although the young Castro was born into wealth, he himself became a fighter for the poor. At 13, he organized a strike because his father treated his workers badly. In middle school, he helped poor students get meat in their school meals.
After college, Castro became a lawyer. He saw that Cuba was “a millionaire’s playground” of rich US businessmen. He made up his mind to help Cuba free itself from US control.
In 1959 Castro led a revolution (革命) that brought him to power. Cuba became a socialist (社会主义的) country on the doorstep of the US. Although some tried to kill Castro and the US wouldn’t do business with Cuba – and even tried to invade (侵略) it – Cuba remained a peaceful country.
In 2006, Castro became very ill. Although he had left office, this fighter refused to give up. He spent his time writing for newspapers.
“I am not saying goodbye to you,” he wrote to Cubans. “But from now on I will be a soldier of ideas. You will be able to count on my words to help you.”
On Nov 25, 2016, Castro died at the age of 90.
54. What can we learn from Paragraphs 1-3
A. Castro stepped down because he was afraid of being killed.
B. Castro’s father was good to his workers.
C. Castro gave up fighting to seek peace.
D. Castro fought for the poor.
55. Why did Castro become the Cuban president
A. Because his family was rich. B. Because he was a lawyer.
C. Because he led a revolution. D. Because US businessmen helped him.
56. What is the correct order of the events of Fidel Castro’s life
① He led a revolution.
② He helped poor students get meat in their meals.
③ He became very ill and later stopped being the president.
④ He organized a strike against his father.
⑤ He became a lawyer.
A. ②⑤③①④ B. ⑤②④①③ C. ④②⑤①③ D. ④②③⑤①
57. What can we learn from Castro’s words
A. He wanted a job in a company. B. He wanted to have a good rest at home.
C. He tried to give up his work for his country. D. He would always try his best to continue his work.
C

One day, while our cab (出租马车) was waiting outside a park, a dirty old cab drove up beside us. The horse was an old chestnut (栗色马). Suddenly, she looked at me and said, “Black Beauty, is that you ”
I was Ginger! But how different she was! She was thin and tired from too much hard work. She looked miserable (悲惨的)and she had a bad cough. She told me her sad story. She had a year’s rest and then a gentleman bought her. For a while, she got on very well. Then one day after a long gallop (疾驰), her old problem returned, and her back hurt again. They bought and sold her several times after that.
“Then at last,” she said, “a man who has a lot of cabs and horses bought me. I work hard, all week, with no rest on Sundays. I wish I was dead.” I was very sad to hear this. I put my nose up to Ginger’s, but I didn’t know what to say to her. She said, “Black Beauty, you are my only friend.” Just then, her driver came back, and they drove off. I felt very sad indeed to see Ginger like this.
A short time after this, I saw a cart (二轮运货马车) with a dead horse in it. It was a chestnut horse with a long, thin neck. I think it was Ginger. I hope so, for then all her problems were over.
One day, a lady got into the cab. “Jerry Barker,” she said, “is that you How are Polly and the children ” I listened to Jerry’s answer and found Mrs Fowler was a lady Polly once worked for. She asked Jerry: “How do you find the cab work in winter I know Polly was worried about you last year.”
“Yes, ma’am. It was a hard winter and I had a bad cough,” he replied.
“Well, Barker,” Mrs. Fowler continued. “I know people who want good drivers or grooms. If you stop working on the cabs one day, let me know.”
“Certainly, ma’am,” smiled Jerry. “Thank you,” he said, and he seemed very pleased.
62. The underlined word “her old problem” in Paragraph 2 refers to(所指) ________.
A. her cough B. her fatness C. her laziness D. her backache
63. Why did Black Beauty hope it was Ginger when he saw the dead horse
A. Because he wasn’t Ginger’s true friend.
B. Because the master didn’t need Ginger any more.
C. Because only death could free Ginger of all hard work.
D. Because Ginger told him that she wished she was dead.
64. What can you know about the lady
A. Jerry used to work for her. B. She was kind and helpful.
C. She was Ginger’s master. D. She found a job for Jerry befo.
65. What can you infer (推断) from the passage

【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：许多野生动物仍在被猎取皮毛和骨骼。没有一个猎人同情他们。真可惜！
考查冠词辨析。a一个，不定冠词，用于辅音音素开头的单词；/零冠词。have pity on sb“怜悯某人”，第一空用零冠词；第二空是感叹句，shame“羞耻，惭愧”，是可数名词，此处是单数形式，故用不定冠词a来修饰。故选A。

For some people, Fidel Castro was a hero. He freed his country from the control of the United States. Others hated him – there were 638 attempts to murder him. But no one would say that the bearded Castro, who always dressed in green, was not a fighter.
In 2008, the 81-year-old president of Cuba (古巴) stepped down, saying that his poor health kept him from leading his country any longer. “Years of fighting against the US have led to it,” said one professor in Cuba.
Castro was born in 1926, to a rich family of Cuban sugar planters. Although the young Castro was born into wealth, he himself became a fighter for the poor. At 13, he organized a strike because his father treated his workers badly. In middle school, he helped poor students get meat in their school meals.
After college, Castro became a lawyer. He saw that Cuba was “a millionaire’s playground” of rich US businessmen. He made up his mind to help Cuba free itself from US control.
In 1959 Castro led a revolution (革命) that brought him to power. Cuba became a socialist (社会主义的) country on the doorstep of the US. Although some tried to kill Castro and the US wouldn’t do business with Cuba – and even tried to invade (侵略) it – Cuba remained a peaceful country.
In 2006, Castro became very ill. Although he had left office, this fighter refused to give up. He spent his time writing for newspapers.
“I am not saying goodbye to you,” he wrote to Cubans. “But from now on I will be a soldier of ideas. You will be able to count on my words to help you.”
On Nov 25, 2016, Castro died at the age of 90.
54. What can we learn from Paragraphs 1-3
A. Castro stepped down because he was afraid of being killed.
B. Castro’s father was good to his workers.
C. Castro gave up fighting to seek peace.
D. Castro fought for the poor.
55. Why did Castro become the Cuban president
A. Because his family was rich. B. Because he was a lawyer.
C. Because he led a revolution. D. Because US businessmen helped him.
56. What is the correct order of the events of Fidel Castro’s life
① He led a revolution.
② He helped poor students get meat in their meals.
③ He became very ill and later stopped being the president.
④ He organized a strike against his father.
⑤ He became a lawyer.
A. ②⑤③①④ B. ⑤②④①③ C. ④②⑤①③ D. ④②③⑤①
57. What can we learn from Castro’s words
A. He wanted a job in a company. B. He wanted to have a good rest at home.
C. He tried to give up his work for his country. D. He would always try his best to continue his work.
【答案】54. D 55. C 56. C 57. D
【解析】

【57题详解】
推理判断题。根据“I am not saying goodbye to you”和“But from now on I will be a soldier of ideas. You will be able to count on my words to help you”可判断Castro尽量用另一种方式继续为他的祖国，为他祖国的人民贡献力量，故选D。

They bought and sold her several times after that.
“Then at last,” she said, “a man who has a lot of cabs and horses bought me. I work hard, all week, with no rest on Sundays. I wish I was dead.” I was very sad to hear this. I put my nose up to Ginger’s, but I didn’t know what to say to her. She said, “Black Beauty, you are my only friend.” Just then, her driver came back, and they drove off.

“Yes, ma’am. It was a hard winter and I had a bad cough,” he replied.
“Well, Barker,” Mrs. Fowler continued. “I know people who want good drivers or grooms. If you stop working on the cabs one day, let me know.”
