25、part of the literature in the years before the Civil War.H.B.Stowes Uncle Toms Cabin is only the most famous example.These early stories dealt directly with slavery.With minor exceptions,Twain planted his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the surface about something else entir

26、ely.He drew his readers into the argument by drawing them into the story.Again and again,in the postwar years,Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race.Consider the most controversial,at least today,of Twains novels,Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.Only a few books have been kicked off th

27、e shelves as often as Huckleberry Finn,Twains most widely read tale.Once upon a time,people hated the book because it struck them as rude.Twain himself wrote that those who banned the book considered the novel “trash and suitable only for the slums(贫民窟).” More recently the book has been attacked bec

28、ause of the character Jim,the escaped slave,and many occurences of the word nigger.(The term Nigger Jim,for which the novel is often severely criticized,never appears in it.)But the attacks were and are sillyand miss the point.The novel is strongly anti-slavery.Jims search through the slave states f

29、or the family from whom he has been forcibly parted is heroic.As J.Chadwick has pointed out,the character of Jim was a first in American fictiona recognition that the slave had two personalities,“the voice of survival within a white slave culture and the voice of the individual:Jim,the father and th

30、e man.”There is much more.Twains mystery novel Puddnhead Wilson stood as a challenge to the racial beliefs of even many of the liberals of his day.Written at a time when the accepted wisdom held Negroes to be inferior(低等的) to whites,especially in intelligence,Twains tale centered in part around two

31、babies switched at birth.A slave gave birth to her masters baby and,for fear that the child should be sold South,switched him for the masters baby by his wife.The slaves light-skinned child was taken to be white and grew up with both the attitudes and the education of the slave-holding class.The mas

32、ters wifes baby was taken for black and grew up with the attitudes and intonations of the slave.The point was difficult to miss:nurture(养育),not nature,was the key to social status.The features of the black man that provided the stuff of prejudicemanner of speech,for examplewere,to Twain,indicative o

33、f nothing other than the conditioning that slavery forced on its victims.Twains racial tone was not perfect.One is left uneasy,for example,by the lengthy passage in his autobiography (自传) about how much he loved what were called “nigger shows” in his youthmostly with white men performing in black-fa

34、ceand his delight in getting his mother to laugh at them.Yet there is no reason to think Twain saw the shows as representing reality.His frequent attacks on slavery and prejudice suggest his keen awareness that they did not.Was Twain a racist? Asking the question in the 21st century is as wise as as

35、king the same of Lincoln.If we read the words and attitudes of the past through the “wisdom” of the considered moral judgments of the present,we will find nothing but error.Lincoln,who believed the black man the inferior of the white,fought and won a war to free him.And Twain,raised in a slave state

40、abies could pick up slave-holders way of speakingC.blacks social position was shaped by how they were brought upD.blacks were born with certain features of prejudice解析:根据第六段第一句可推断出,这两个一出生被替换的孩子的故事主要表明黑人的社会地位是由他们被培养的方式造就的。答案:C40.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 7 refer to?A.The attac

43、 a historical event.His or her memories provide a personal view of the past.The first goal of all oral histories is to record stories about a specific subject.That subject may be a historical event like the D-Day invasion.It may be a period of history like the Depression,or a social or cultural tren

44、d,such as child labour.The first step in an oral history project,therefore,is to select a subject that interests you and is of historical significance.Before attempting to identify people to interview for your project,you must first gather background information about the subject.The Library of Cong

45、ress,which houses thousands of oral histories,provides these tips for researching your subject.Before entering the library or logging onto the Internet,decide on key words to use in your search.Use detailed search words.For example,search for rock and roll of the 60s instead of the more general term

46、 music.Look through newspaper and magazine articles and Internet websites to identify documents that are related to your subject.Make copies of those that will help you plan your interview questions and discard all others.Discuss what youve read about your subject surprised you.What aspect of your s

47、ubject would you like to know more about?Asking questions like these will help you to focus on your subject and to identify the voice or voices you need to interview.Oral histories are as much about self as they are about subject.One goal of an oral history interview is to find out what happened.A s

48、econd and equally important goal is to discover how people reacted to or were affected by what happened.The person you select to interview,therefore,should have had some experience with the subjecteither as a participant or a witness.Once you have identified one or more people to interview,begin pre

49、paring your questions.The best questions are open-ended,encouraging the speaker to respond with more than a mere “Yes” or “No”.For example,an interviewer might have asked Clarence Hughart this question about his D-Day experience:Were you scared?That question,however,would probably not have elicited

50、the sort of dramatic storytelling that Hughart provided.Make a list of ten possible interview questions.The first two or three should be fairly general,asking the interviewee to talk about his or her childhood,perhaps.These kinds of questions put people at ease.Save more sensitive questions until th

51、e interview has been underway for five,ten,or fifteen minutes or more.After the interview come the final steps:writing a summary of the interview and then shaping it into a finished piece of writing.答案:42significant43historical44interesting45Identify46Shape47on/what48log49related/relevant50witness51

54、ng an axe on his shoulder was walking towards the tree.He cut it down and pulled it away in no time.When Tom got ready and turned back to draw,he found the only tree was missing.“Dear me! Where on earth is the tree?”Tom wondered,puzzled and disappointed.What Tom saw is a reminder to all of us that we human beings are destroying the earth without taking our responsibilities into consideration.As far as Im concerned,measures should be taken to protect the environment,or nobody could survive in the near future.
