Question

【題目】I was born at Blunderstone, in Suffolk, in the east of England, and was given my poor father’s name, David Copperfield. Sadly, he never saw me and died six months before I was born. My early childhood was extremely happy, as my beautiful mother and kind Peggotty took care of me. But when I was about eight, a shadow passed over my happiness. My mother often went out walking, in her best clothes, with a gentleman called Mr Murdstone. He seemed to be very fond of my mother. But I knew that Peggotty did not like him.

A few months later Peggotty told me that my mother was going to have a short holiday with some friends. Meanwhile Peggotty and I would go to stay with her brother Daniel in Yarmouth，on the east coast, for two weeks. I spent a wonderfully happy two weeks there, playing all day on the beach with Emily, and sleeping in my own little bed on the ship. I am sure I was in love with little Emily in my childish way, and I cried bitterly when we had to say goodbye at the end of the holiday.

But on the way home to Blunderstone, Peggotty looked at me very worriedly. ‘she said suddenly in a trembling voice.‘I must tell you—While we’ve been away, your dear mother—has married Mr Murdstone！He’s your stepfather now!’

I was deeply shocked. I could not understand how my mother could have married that man. And when we arrived home, I went straight to my room and lay sobbing on my bed, which made my poor mother very unhappy too. As she sat beside me, holding my hand, Mr Murdstone suddenly came in.

What’s this, Chara, my love?’ he asked sternly. ‘Remember, you must be firm with the boy！I’ve told you before, you’re too weak with him!’ And when mother left the room, Mr Murdstone whispered angrily to me, ‘David, do you know what I’ll do if you don’t obey me？I’ll beat you like a dog!’ I was still very young, and I was very frightened of him. If he had said one kind word to me, perhaps I would have liked and trusted him, and my life would have been different. Instead, I hated him for the influence he had over my dear mother, who wanted to be kind to me, but also wanted to please her new husband．

【2】B

【3】D

【4】B

【解析】本文主要講了作者很小的時(shí)候爸爸就去世了，沒(méi)過(guò)幾天幸福的生活之后，媽媽就找了新的丈夫——Murdstone，他又刻薄，又不善良，這讓David開(kāi)始了他不幸的童年生活。

【1】C

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段But when I was about eight, a shadow passed over my happiness. My mother often went out walking, in her best clothes, with a gentleman called Mr Murdstone.可知，由于David的媽媽結(jié)識(shí)了Murdstone而使他的幸福童年終結(jié)。故選C.

【2】B

推理判斷題。根據(jù)劃線句子的意思：“我相信我是以我幼稚的方式愛(ài)上了小艾米麗，當(dāng)我們?cè)诩倨诮Y(jié)束不得不說(shuō)再見(jiàn)時(shí)，我哭了。當(dāng)時(shí)作者很小，兩個(gè)孩子很小，在一起的兩周玩得好，而不愿分開(kāi)，顯然作者是以一種幽默的手法，在寫(xiě)這種兩小無(wú)猜的情誼。故選B.

【3】D

推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段可知Murdstone不讓媽媽對(duì)David好，可以推斷出他是刻薄的；再根據(jù)Murdstone在媽媽離開(kāi)后對(duì)David說(shuō)要打他，可以推斷出他是不友好的。故選D.

【4】B

推理判斷題。本文主要講了作者很小的時(shí)候爸爸就去世了，沒(méi)過(guò)幾天幸福的生活之后，媽媽就找了新的丈夫——Murdstone，他又刻薄，又不善良，這讓David開(kāi)始了他不幸的童年生活。文中最后一段就主要講述Murdstone開(kāi)始對(duì)他不好，所以可以推斷出接來(lái)要講述Murdstone是如何虐待David的。故選B.
