Question

【题目】 Tom walked away from the school. He would never return. He was a lonely boy. Nobody loved him. He met his best friend, Joe Harper. Joe’s mother had beaten him. But Joe hadn’t done anything wrong. He also wanted to leave home. The two boys began to make plans. They both agreed to become pirates (海盗).

Five kilometers south of St Petersburg was an island called Jackson’s island. It was close to the other shore of the river. They decided to go there. They looked for Huckleberry Finn, and he joined them at once. They decided to meet on the river bank three kilometers from the village at midnight. Each would bring tools for fishing, and whatever they could steal — like those bad guys.

Tom arrived with a boiled ham and a corn, Joe had some bacon, and Huck had a frying pan, all stolen from home or their neighbors. They took some fire from an empty boat, and then they set off on the raft (木筏). At about 2 a.m. they landed on Jackson’s Island, and carried their only possessions onto the shore. They decided to sleep in the open air. That was what pirates did.

They built a fire, cooked some bacon for supper, and ate half of the corn they had brought. It seemed wonderful to be eating in the wild forest of an undiscovered island. They said they would never go back.

“It’s just the life for me,” said Tom, “You don’t have to get up in the mornings and go to school, and wash all those foolish things. A pirate doesn’t have to do anything.”

Huck asked, “What do pirates do?”

“Oh, they take ships and burn them. They get money and bury it in places where nobody can find it. And... kill everybody on the ships,” said Tom.

Slowly their talk stopped. Huck slept easily. Tom and Joe had more difficulty getting to sleep. Their conscience (良知) started to work. They began to fear that it was wrong to run away, and they thought of the stolen meat, and worried that it was bad to steal.

He also wanted to leave home.”可知，乔被他妈妈打了，但是他并没有做错事，他想离家出走；根据“They looked for Huckleberry Finn, and he joined them at once.”可知，哈克贝利·费恩决定跟汤姆和乔一起离家出走，所以这几个男孩离家出走的原因是他们觉得没有人爱他们。故选B。

【2】细节理解题。根据“and then they set off on the raft (木筏). At about 2 a.m. they landed on Jackson’s Island”可知，他们是乘着木筏到达小岛上的。故选C。

【3】细节理解题。根据“It seemed wonderful to be eating in the wild forest of an undiscovered island.”可知，在一个未被发现的岛屿的野外森林里吃东西，感觉很美妙，所以除了他们在这个小岛上，岛上没有其他的人。故选B。
