tree-bees will attack you in thousands for no reason. And they will chase(追赶) you for your life.
Walking along a dusty road while I wason holiday there last year, I found myself, without the least warning, thecentre of such an attack. The air above me suddenly became thick with bees.Though it was hot, I went cold all over. Until then I had never heard of Indiantree-bees, but I had recently seen a film called “The Angry Swarm”, which wasabout killer-bees.
I began running to the village abouthalf a mile away, but I was soon covered from head to foot with bees. I drovethem away with my hands, only to make room for others. Each time I opened mymouth for breath, more bees entered my mouth, until it was stung to twice itsusual size and I could hardly breathe.
When I reached the village, I foundsome workers building a house. I ran towards them for help. But as soon as theworkers saw the bees with me, they ran for safety at top speed.
Soon my eyes had completely closed. I
fell into a pile of brick dust. I pushed myself wildly down into it until my
head and shoulders were covered. And then I tried hard to get out of the dust,
the angry bees made a new attack on me. I was tired out and ran weakly about in
circles. Soon I lost my consciousness(意识).
Later I learned that two quick-minded
villagers ran to a pile of dry grass and quickly surrounded(包围) me with a thick wall of fire and smoke until the bees were drivenaway. They stayed with me, taking stings out of my body for the next three hoursuntil a doctor came and gave me further treatment.

This year the US will honour(纪念) one of the country’s most famous writers—Mark Twain (1835-1910).Most readers know that his real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, but how manyknow where the pen name “Mark Twain” came from?
The answer shows Clemens’ colorfulearly life before he became a writer. “Mark Twain” was the cry shouted on aship when the ship entered a part of a river that was two fathoms (6 feet)deep. “Twain” is an old-fashioned way of saying “two”. Twain trained as a shippilot on the Mississippi river for two years, a time that he wrote about in thehumorous Life on the Mississippi (1883).
The famous river would become animportant theme in many of his works—who could forget the journey of the Huckand Jim along it in his most famous book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn(1884)?
With little education, he had to teachhimself how to write stories. Whenever possible, he would go to public libraries.There he spent much time reading and thinking, which greatly helped him withhis writing.
On the other hand, his lifeexperiences gave him wonderful material to write about and attract readers.Twain wrote in a style that has been called “local colour” because it showsgreat knowledge of local people and their customs.
This gift is very clear in the twobooks for which Twain is still celebrated today: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer(1876) and its follow-up The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which many peoplecall “The Great American Novel”.
The most amazing invention in the bookis the voice of Huck himself. Huck did not enjoy schooling. It shows in the wayhe uses language, in a spoken style. Only a master like Twain could copy theway a young southern boy talked so well.
34. What does the underlined word“gift” mean in the passage?
A. Twain’s talent for self-teaching.
B. Twain’s “local colour” writingstyle.
C. Twain’s good sense of humour.
D. Twain’s experiences as a ship pilot
35. According to the passage, what isthe best part of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?
A. The deep social meaning.
B. The exciting life experiences.
C. The special way that Hucktalks.
D. The nice view of the Mississippi.
36. Which is the most suitable placein the passage for the sentence, “Twain did not come from the writer’sbackground you might expect.”?
A. At the beginning of Paragraph 2.
B. At the beginning of Paragraph 3.
C. At the beginning of Paragraph 4.
D. At the beginning of Paragraph 5.
37.What is the passage mainly about?
A. Mark Twain’s career as a greatwriter.
B. Mark Twain’s interest in describinglocal life.
C. Mark Twain’s achievements inAmerican literature field.
D. Mark Twain’s life experiences whichinfluenced his writing.
【答案与解析】
34.B 根据gift上一段的描述，这里的gift应该指的是local color，本题答案为B。
35.C 根据最后一段的内容，Huck的说话方式才是本书最好的地方。本题答案为C。
36.C 这里讲的主要是马克吐温的生长环境，本题答案为C。

Clothing(服装)is a language. We can look at the traditional clothing to know more aboutculture.
Africa has a long history and a richculture, and this is shown in traditional dress. The three colours—red, goldand green, are often used in the clothing. The first colour represents theblood of millions of people who fought for freedom; the second, rich resourcesof the African earth; and the third, the grassland of home.
Because clothing has strong social
meanings, people are very careful in choosing what to wear. It would be a
serious mistake to wear the wrong clothes, or to dress in the wrong way. For
example, in Ghana, a woman should wear her waistband(腰带)differently according to the importance of the social event.
Traditional dress also tells us about
everyday life. African designs are famous for loose(宽松的)clothing. The temperature there can be very high during the daytime but verylow at night, so it requires that the clothes are comfortable for daily life.
Today although more and more youngpeople like wearing Western clothes, especially in big cities in Africa,traditional African dress is still quite valuable. This is because it has deepcultural meanings.
[if !vml]

【答案与解析】

2.stand
由第二段最后可知，不同的颜色代表不同的意义。文中用的represent，这里是同义词转换，stand for也有代表之意。
3.carefully
由第三段第一句可知，人们在选择穿什么衣服时都很谨慎，所以此处应填carefully。
4.changes
由第四段可知是因为温度变化很大，所以填changes。
5.value
由最后一段第一句可知，传统服饰仍然很有价值，be valuable=be
of value，所以此处填value。
