The room is so empty now that there‟s nobody sharing it with me.”“What about Miss Barkely?”“Of course, I will go and get her. But you rest for a while.

Ben moved quickly toward the sound.He saw a colored head ... the head of a beautiful bird. The bird did not move until Ben came close. Then it tried to fly away, but one wing was broken.Ben lifted the bird and held it close against his body. The bird fought to escape, but soon lay quietly in Ben‟s arms.Ben decided to take the bird home and fix its broken wings so that it could fly again. He was almost out of the woods when he heard the hunter behind him.“You just found that bird?” the hunter asked.“Yes,” Ben answered.“It is mine!”Ben was afraid and tried to answer, but his mouth was too dry to speak. Nevertheless, he wetted his lips and said, “No.”“I shot him and I say he is mine!”“But he is not dead yet,” Ben answered, “and besides, anything on my land belongs to me.”The hunter looked down at the little man and smiled. “Say, who are you?”Ben‟s voice shook with both fear and anger. “I own this land. There are sign s everywhere that say, …No hunting‟.”“No need to get angry, mister,” the hunter said. “Control yourself.”There was something threatening in the man‟s cool quiet voice. And he had a gun. His arms were free and Ben‟s were not.The hunter stepped closer and said, “Give me that bird!”Ben was white with anger. “No!” he answered. His eye glasses became wet and he had to look over the top of them to see the other man.“Give me the bird and I will go away,” the hunter said.“You get off my land,” Ben told him. “Get off right now...you do not belong here!”The man‟s face got red. “Mister,” he said, “I have been hunting here all my life.I grew up here.”“That is a thing of the past,” Ben said. “I do not know who you are and I do not care. I own this place now and I am telling you to leave. You go back through the woods and get off my land!”“Now look, mister,” the hunter said, “be reasonable.”The hunter raised his gun.A cold wind blew across Ben‟s face. He looked into the hunter‟s gray eyes. Ben was frightened. It was not too late, he thought. He could still give the bird to the hunter and return safely home...that would end this whole ugly business.The bird struggled weakly and made a wild, strange noise.Then Ben knew he could never give this bird to the hunter. This feeling gave Ben great strength, and he was no longer afraid.“I will never let you kill this bird,” he said. “Get away from here. If you try to take this bird, I will fight...you have a gun and you are bigger, but that does not worry me. You will n ever get this bird...you will have to kill me first.”The two men looked at each other. Ben‟s fear returned. His knees began to shake and he felt sick. Yet he stood straight, wondering what would happen next. They stood close to each other for a long time. The woods were strangely quiet. Then the hunter‟s rough voice broke the silence.“You are a fool.” And then to Ben‟s surprise, he slowly walked away.Ben watched until he was gone. His arms hurt, his body felt wet and cold.67.

More important, they were masters of their own and, of course, their farm. Animals made seven rules of their own and Snowball painted them on the wall.)THE SEVEN COMMANDMENTS1. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.2. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a freind.3. No animal shall wear clothes.4. No animal shall sleep in a bed.5. No animal shall drink alcohol.6. No animal shall kill any other animal.7. All animals are equal.It was very neatly written, and except that “friend” was written “freind” and one of the “S‟s” was the wrong way round, the spelling was correct all the way through. Snowball read it aloud for the benefit of the others. All the animals nodded in complete agreement, and the cleverer ones at once began to learn the Commandments by heart.“Now, comrades,” cried Snowball, throwing down the paintbrush, “to the hayfield! Let us make it a point of honor to get in the harvest more quickly than Jones and his men could do.”But at this moment the three cows, who had seemed uneasy for some time past, let out a loud lowing. They had not been milked for twenty-four hours, and theirudders were almost bursting. After a little thought, the pigs sent for buckets and milked the cows fairly successfully, their trotters (蹄子) being well adapted to this task. Soon there were five buckets of frothing creamy milk at which many of the animals looked with considerable interest.“What is going to happen to all that milk?” said someone.“Jones used sometimes to mix some of it in our food,” said one of the hens.“Never mind the milk, comrades!” cried Napoleon, placing himself in front of the buckets. “That will be attended to. The harvest is more important. Comrade Snowball will lead the way. I shall follow in a few minutes. Forward, comrades! The hay is waiting.”So the animals trooped down to the hayfield to begin the harvest, and when they came back in the evening it was noticed that the milk had disappeared.67. Who is the leader of the animals?A. Snowball.B. Jones.C. Napoleon.D. Cows.68. When does the story take place?A. In spring.B. In summer.C. In fall.D. In winter.69. What can we infer from the story?A.

KEYS: 67-70 CCAB4In this voyage I visited my new colony on the island, saw the Spaniards(西班牙人), had the whole story of their lives and of the villains(罪犯) I left there; how at first they treated the poor Spaniards badly,·how they afterwards agreed, disagreed, unired, separated, and how at last the Spaniards were forced to use violence with them; how they gave in to the spaniards, how honestly the Spaniards used them ---- a history, if it were entered into, as full of variety and wonderful accidents as my own part ---- particularly, also, as to their battles with the Caribbeans, who landed several times upon the Island, and as to the improvement they made upon the Island itself, and how five of them made an attempt upon the main land, and brought away eleven men and five women prisoners, by which, at my coming, I found about twenty young children on the Island.Here I stayed bout 20 days, left them supplies of all necessary things, and particularly of arms, powder, shot, cloths, tools, and two workmen, which I brought from England with me, namely a carpenter and a smith.Besides this, I shared the Island into parts with them, reserved to myself the property of whole but gave them such parts respectively as they agreed on; andhaving settled all things with them and encouraged them not to leave the place, I left them there.From then on I landed the Brazils, from where I sent a bark, which I bought there, with more people to the island; and in it, besides other supplies, I sent seven women, being such persons as I found proper for service, or for wives to such as would take them. As to the Englishmen, I promised them to send them some women from England, with a good cargo(船货) of necessaries, if they would apply themselves to planting ---- which I afterwards could not perform. And the fellows proved very honest and diligent after they were mastered and had their properties set apart for them. I sent them also from the Brazils five cows, three of them being big with calf, some sheep, and some pigs, which when I came again were considerably increased.But all these things, with an account how 300 Caribbeans came and invaded(入侵) them, and ruined their plantations, and how they fought with that whole number twice, and were at first defeated, and one of them killed; but at last a storm destroying most of their enemies‟ boats, they destroyed almost all the rest, and renewed and recovered the possession of their plantation, and still lived upon the Island.All these things, with some very surprising incidents in some new adventures of my own, for ten years more, I may perhaps give a further account of the story.66. From Paragraph l, we know _______ .A. the Spaniards were always getting along well with the villainsB. the Spaniards were always the rulers of the islandC. the Spaniards and the villains both ruled the island peacefullyD. the Spaniards and the villains once had battles witll each other67.
