16、EADING (总题数：4，分数：20.00)BTEXT A/BIn 17th-century New England, almost everyone believed in witches. Struggling to survive in a vast and sometimes unforgiving land, Americas earliest European settlers understood themselves to be surrounded by an inscrutable universe filled with invisible spirits, both

17、benevolent and evil, that affected their lives. They often attributed a sudden illness, a household disaster or a financial setback to a witchs curse. The belief in witchcraft was, at bottom, an attempt to make sense of the Unknown.While witchcraft was often feared, it was punished only infrequently

18、 In the first 70 years of the New England settlement, about 100 people were formally charged with being witches; fewer than two dozen were convicted and fewer still were executed.Then came 1692. In January of that year, two young girls living in the household of the Reverend Samuel Parris of Salem

19、Village began experiencing strange fits. The doctor identified witchcraft as the cause. After weeks of questioning, the girls named Tituba, Parriss female Indian slave, and two local women were regarded as the witches who were tormenting them.Judging by previous incidents, one would have expected th

20、e episode to end there. But it didnt. Other young Salem women began to suffer fits as well, Before the crisis ended, 19 people formally accused others of afflicting them, 54 residents of Essex County, confessed to being witches and nearly 150. people were charged with consorting with the devil. What

21、 led to this?Traditionally, historians have argued that the witchcraft crisis resulted from. factionalism in Salem Village, deliberate faking, or possibly the ingestion of hallucinogens by the afflicted. I believe another force was at work. The events in Salem were precipitated by a conflict with th

22、e Indians on the northeastern frontier, the most significant surge of violence in the region in nearly 40 years.In two little-known wars, fought largely in Maine, from 1675 to 1678 and from 1688 to 1699, English settlers suffered devastating losses at the hands of Wabanaki Indians and their French a

23、llies. The key afflicted accusers in the Salem crisis were frontier refugees whose families had been wiped out in the wars. These tormented young women said they saw the devil in the shape of an Indian. In testimony, they accused the witches reputed ringleader-the Reverend George Burroughs, formerly

24、 pastor of Salem Village-of bewitching the soldiers dispatched to fight the Wabanakis. While Tituba, one of the first people, accused of witchcraft, has traditionally been portrayed as a black or, mulatto woman from Barbados, all the evidence points to her being an American Indian.To the Puritan set

25、tlers, who believed themselves to he Gods chosen people, witchcraft explained why they were losing the war so badly. Their Indian enemies had the devil on their side.In late summer, some prominent blew Englanders began to criticize the witch prosecutions. In response to the dissent, Governor Sir Wil

26、liam Phips of Massachusetts dissolved in October the special court he had established to handle the trials. But before he stopped the legal process, 14 women and 5 men had been hanged. Another man was crushed to death by stones for refusing to enter a plea. The war with the Indians continued for six

27、 more years, though sporadically. Slowly, northern New Englanders began to feel more secure, And they soon regretted the events of 1692. Within five years, one judge and 12 jurors formally apologized as the colony declared a day of fasting and prayer to atone for the injustices that had been committ

28、ed. In 1711, the state compensated the families of the victims.And last year, more than three centuries after the settlers reacted to an external threat by lashing out irrationally, the convicted were cleared by name in a Massachusetts statute. Its a story worth remembering-and not just on Halloween

33、eld, the shoemaker, was annoyed that his helper, Sobel, was so insensitive to his reverie that he wouldnt for a minute cease his fanatic pounding at the other bench. He gave him a look, but Sobels bald head was bent over the last as he worked, and he didnt notice. The shoemaker shrugged and continue

34、d to peer through the partly frosted window at the near-sighted haze of falling February snow. Neither the shifting white blur outside, nor the sudden deep remembrance of the snowy Polish village where he had wasted his youth could turn his thoughts from Max, the college boy (a constant visitor in t

35、he mind since early that morning when Fold saw him trudging through the snowdrifts on his way to school), whom be so much respected because of the sacrifices he had made throughout the years-in winter or direst heat-to further his education.An old wish returned to haunt the shoemaker: that he had ha

36、d a son instead of a daughter, but this blew away in the snow for Fold, if anything, was a practical mar“ Yet he could not help but contrast the diligence of the boy, who was a peddlers son, with Miriams unconcern for an education, True, she was always with a book in her hand, yet when the opportuni

37、ty arose for a college education, she had said no, she would rather find a job. He had begged her to go, pointing out how many fathers could not afford to send their children to college, but she said she wanted to be independent. As for education, what was it, she asked, but books, which Sobel, who

38、diligently read the classics, would as usual advise her on. Her answer greatly grieved her father.A figure emerged from the snow, and the door opened. At the counter the man withdrew from a Wet paper bag a pair of battered shoes for repair. Who he was the shoemaker for a moment had no idea, then his

39、 heart trembled as he realized, before he had thoroughly discerned the face, that Max himself was standing there, embarrassedly explaining what he wanted done to his old shoes. Though Feld listened eagerly, he couldnt hear a word, for the opportunity that had burst upon him was deafening.He couldnt

40、exactly recall when the thought had occurred to him, because it was clear he had more than once considered suggesting to the boy that he go out with Miriam. But he had not dared speak, for if Max said no, how would he face him again? Or suppose Miriam, who harped so often on independence, blew up in

41、 anger and shouted at him for his meddling? Still, the chance was too good to let by: all it meant was an introduction. They might long ago have become friends had they happened to meet somewhere, therefore was it-not his duty-an obligation-to bring them together, nothing more, a harmless connivance

42、 to replace an accidental encounter in the subway, lets say, or a mutual friends introduction in the street? Just let him once see and talk to her, and he would for sure be interested. As for Miriam, what possible harm for a working girl in an office, who met only loudmouthed salesmen and illiterate

43、 shipping clerks, to make the acquaintance of a fine scholarly boy? Maybe he w9uld awaken in her a desire to go to college; if not-the shoemakers mind at last came to grips with the truth let her marry an educated man and live a better life.（分数：5.00）(1).From the first paragraph, we get the impressio

44、n that _.（分数：1.00）A.Feld may not have a happy childhood.B.Feld cherished his childhood memories.C.Feld thought highly of man of perseverance.D.Feld lived an affluent but empty life.(2).It can be inferred from the passage that Felds daughter was all EXCEPT _.（分数：1.00）A.forceful.B.absent-minded.C.real

46、main idea of the passage?（分数：1.00）A.Feld is anxious about repairing Maxs worn shoes.B.Feld is an impossible dreamer with fanciful thoughts.C.Feld wants his daughter to improve her chances in life;D.Feld appreciates the qualities of diligence and persistence.BTEXT C/BThough not the ideal shape for a

47、Christmas stocking, this slim little volume could nevertheless make a welcome seasonal gift. Launched in Britain at the end of October, and covering just under 100 pages (with paragraphs inset almost to the middle of the page), it is not much more than an extended essay. But it presents an interesti
