　　When Laura reached school-going age the discussions about moving became more urgent (緊迫的). Her father did not want the children to go to school with the village children and for once her mother agreed with him. Not because, as he said, they ought to have a better education than they could get at Lark Rise; but because she feared they would tear their clothes and catch cold and get dirty heads going a mile and a half to and from the school in the village. So empty cottages in the market town were examined and often it seemed that the next week or the next month they would be leaving Lark Rise for ever, but again each time something would happen to prevent the removal, and gradually a new idea came up. To gain time, their father would teach the two eldest children to read and write, so that, if asked by the School Attendance Office, their mother could say they were leaving the small village shortly, and in the meantime, were being taught at home.

　　So their father brought home two copies of Mavor's First Reader and taught them the alphabet; but just as Laura was beginning on words of one syllable (音節(jié)), He was sent away to work on a distant job, only corning home at weekends. Laura, left at the c-a-t s-I-t-s on the m-a-t's stage, then had to carry her book round after her mother as she went about her housework, asking,“Please, Mother, what does h-o-u-s-a spell?”or“W-a-l-k, Mother, what is that?”

　　Often when her mother was too busy or too tired to attend to her, she would sit and fix her eyes on a page that might as well have been printed in Hebrew (希伯來語) for all she could make of it, frowning (鎖眉) and studying the print as though she would make out the meaning by force of concentration (專注).

　　After weeks of this, there came a day when, quite suddenly, as it seemed to her, the printed characters took on a meaning. There were still many words, even in the first page of that simple book, she could not understand; but she could jump those and make sense of the whole.“I'm reading! I'm reading!” she cried aloud.“Oh, Mother! Oh, Edmund! I'm reading!”

1．Laura's father didn't want his children to go to school at Lark Rise because ________.

[　　]

A．it was too far away

B．they couldn't learn enough

C．their hair would become dirty

D．they would ruin their clothes

2．The children's father decided to teach them to read and write so that they ________.

[　　]

A．had an excuse not to have to move

B．had a reason for not attending school

C．could write to the School Attendance Office

D．would be educated before they left the village

3．The underlined part “left at the c-a-t s-I-t-s on the m-a-t's stage”means that ________.

[　　]

A．Laura was working hard and learning quickly

B．her father had no time to teach her

C．her mother was too busy to attend to her

D．Laura knew little about how to read and write

4．From the passage we can infer that ________ made Laura stare at a page in her book.

[　　]

A．her lack of concentration

B．her inability to understand

C．her need to understand Hebrew

D．her determination to understand

5．Laura finally discovered she could read when she ________.

[　　]

A．understood the main idea

B．understood all the words in her book

C．recognized the printed characters

D．jumped the first pages of her book

　　The Western has been the favorite type for American adventure stories since the nineteenth century．While the American West was being settled，newspapers and “dime novels” could depend on stories of the frontier settlements and tell tales about living in the untamed wilderness to sell．The public back East was eager to read about the West，even if the stories were more fiction than fact．

　　In 1902, Owen Wister published his novel The Virginian, which was one of the first novels to treat the Western as a serious literary form; the novel still sold well and had inspired several movies and a television series．In 1905, Bertha H．Bower and Zane Grey published their first novels, and the popular Western novels had continued to flourish from that day on, with current novels by Luke Short, Max Brand, and Louis L’ Amour carrying on the tradition．

　　The first Western movie appeared even earlier than these serious Western novels．Before the turn of the century, an associate of Edison’s had filmed Cripple Creek Barroom Scene, a few seconds of film showing the inside of a saloon, to help publicize the invention of the movie camera．In 1903 the Edison’ company filmed the first “full length” Western－The Great Train Robbery．The film lasts less than fifteen minutes, but a story is told its entirety．In the movie, bandits(強盜)rob a train and its passengers, killing the engineer, and find themselves tracked down by a posse．Audiences loved the movie．Some theaters were actually opened for the single purpose of showing The Great Train Robbery? and only later realized that they could do equally well showing other movies．The film was so successful that other companies, and finally even the Edison company itself, began producing copies and other versions of The Great Train Robbery．Ironically, in an era when the West was still very real－Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma were all territories rather than states in 1903－The Great Train Robbery was filmed in New Jersey．

(1)

The purpose of this passage is to ________．

[　　]

A．

discuss the making of the movie ?The Great Train Robbery?

B．

discuss the early Western novels

C．

discuss the art of movie making

D．

trace the development of the Western as an American adventure story tradition

(2)

We can conclude from this passage that ________．

[　　]

A．

people lost interest in the West after 1903

B．

Owen Wister was an ex cowboy

C．

New Jersey was still “untamed wilderness” in 1903

D．

films were fairly uncommon at the time The Great Train Robbery was made

(3)

The passage suggests that ________．

[　　]

A．

Edison’s invention of the movie camera happened by accident

B．

movie houses didn’t make much money in the early days

C．

Easterners were fascinated by the “Wild West”

D．

The Great Train Robbery was poorly received by the public because it lacked a plot

(4)
