But then her sister Miss Watson arrived. She brought her black slave(奴隶)Jim with her. I liked Jim but I didn't like Miss Watson very much. She often shouted at me.

Widow Douglas sent me to school every day. I didn't like going there at first because learning was very difficult. But when I could read and write a bit, I didn't mind going.

The months passed and winter came. The weather got cold. One morning I woke up and there was snow on the ground. On my way to school. I saw some footprints outside the widow's house. There was a cross on the heel(脚后跟)of the left one. My heart jumped. Only one person wore boots with a cross on the left head! Pap!

"He's heard about my money, "I thought. "And he wants it!"

That night I went to see Jim. Jim had a magic ball made of animal hair. There was a spirit inside the ball that could answer people's questions about the future.

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成句子。

Mark Twain tells a boy’s story in The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn. Huck is a poor child without a mother or home. His father drinks too much wine and always beats him.

Huck’s situation has freed him from the restriction (约束) of society. He explores in the woods and goes fishing. He stays out all night and does not go to school. He smokes. Huck runs away from home. He meets Jim, a black man who has escaped from slavery (奴隶制). They travel together on a raft (木筏) made of wood down the Mississippi River.

Mark Twain started writing “Huckleberry Finn” as a children’s story. But it soon became serious. The story tells about the social evil (罪恶) of slavery, which is seen through the eyes of a child. Huck’s ideas about people were formed by the white society in which he lived. So, at first, he does not question slavery. Huck knows that important people believe slavery is natural, the law of God. So, he thinks it is his duty to tell Jim’s owerns where to find him.

Later, Huck comes to understand that Jim is a good man. He finds he cannot carry out his plan to tell Jim’s owners of his whereabouts (下落). Instead, he decides to help Jim run away. He decides to do this, even if God punished him.

1.Huckleberry Finn is always beaten by ____________________.

2.Jim is a ____________________ who has escaped from slavery.

3.Huckleberry Finn and Jim travel together down ____________________.

4.The story was first written by Mark Twain as ____________________.

5.Huckleberry Finn decides to help Jim ____________________ at last.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was published in 1885 and is a sequel(续集）to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. At the end of the story, Tom and his best friend Huck found a lot of money in a cave and were allowed to keep it. Huck starts his story by describing what has happened to him since then.

Many people consider Huckleberry Finn to be one of the ‘great American novels’. However, when it first came out it was banned by some libraries and schools. People thought that Huck, a young boy and the main character, wasn’t a good example for children because he lied, stole and used bad language. Later, in the second half of the twentieth century, the novel was criticized for its racist language.

In the novel Twain attacks many of the traditions of the southern states of the USA, through the eyes of the main character, the reader sees and judges the South, its faults and its good qualities.

Several themes run through the story. Perhaps the most important one is slavery, which was finally abolished in all American states in 1865. Another is freedom. Both Huck and Jim want to be free—Jim from slavery and Huck from the society that wants to control him. A third is friendship. The adventures that Jim and Huck share on the river bring them closer together. The fact that Jim is black and a slave is no longer important and they become good friends. Jim helps Huck and Huck helps Jim in return.

九年级英语完型填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

It is believed that Huck Finn is based on（基于）a childhood friend of Mark Twain’s. In fact, Twain was not alone in basing a fictional character（虚构的角色）on a real-life person.

Severus Snape / John Nettleship

Severus Snape is a skillful wizard（巫师）teaching magic in Harry Potter. The writer, J.K. Rowling, once said that the character was based on a teacher of hers.

The teacher turned out to be John Nettleship, who taught Rowling chemistry. At first, Nettleship felt surprised. “I know I am a strict teacher,” he said. “But I don’t think I am as bad as Snape!” On second thoughts, however, he said that he was so ill-tempered that most of his students avoided making him mad. Also, he used to wear long hair and have an untidy lab. That sounds familiar to Harry Potter fans.

Alice / Alice Liddell

Famously, Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is based on Alice Liddell.

Carroll was close to the Liddell family. One day, ten-year-old Alice asked Carroll to tell her a new story. Carroll began to create his famous tale of Alice and what happened after she fell through the rabbit hole. The little girl liked the story so much that she asked him to write it down. And the rest is history.

Dill / Truman Capote

In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee based Dill on her childhood friend, Truman Capote. Capote once said, “Lee was my best friend. Have you ever read To Kill a Mockingbird? I’m a character in that story! The story takes place just in the town where we lived!”

九年级英语单选题中等难度题查看答案及解析

My name is Bess Curle, but this is not my story. It is the story of my lady Mary, Queen of Scots. She wrote the story, and then she gave it to me. I am going to give it to her son.

She began the story a week ago. It was January 1587, and we sat here in our cold room in Fotheringhay Castle, in the north of England. We couldn't see much from the window. One or two houses, a river, some trees, some horses, and a road. That's all.

The road goes to London, the home of Queen Elizabeth of England. Mary sat with her little dog in her hands and watched it, all day long.

No one came along the road. Nothing happened. I watched Mary, unhappily.

"Please, Your Majesty, come away from that window," I said. "It doesn't help. No one is going to come. Queen Elizabeth can't do it-Queens don't kill Queens."

"Don't they, Bess?" Mary said. "Then why are we here, in this prison? Why am I not free?"

"Why, Your Majesty(陛下)? Because Queen Elizabeth is afraid of you."

"That's right," Mary said. "She's afraid of me, and she hates me too. She hates me because I am beautiful, and she is not; because I had three husbands, and she never married. And because many people-good Catholic(天主教的)people in England France, Scotland, Spain-say that I, Mary, am the true Queen of England, not Elizabeth. And E}zabeth has no children, so, when she is dead, my son James..."

She came away from the window and stood in front of me. "James," she said quietly, "my son, does he think about me sometimes? He was only ten months old when I last saw him. It is nearly twenty years..."

1.This story happened in 　　　　　　 .

A. spring　　 B. summer　　 C. autumn　　 D. winter

2.According to the passage, James was 　　　　 in 1587.

A. nearly 20 years old　　 B. less than 19 years old

C. more than 21 years old　　 D. nearly 19 years old

3.What may the next paragraph talk about?

A. Mary started to hate Elizabeth.　　 B. Mary started to remember her son.

C. Bess started to save Mary.　　 D. Bess started to kill Mary.
