Passage 1
I never saw my father or mother. My first most vivid impression of things seemed to me to have been gained on a memorable afternoon towards evening near my parents’ graves in the churchyard（教堂墓地）.
“Hold your noise!” came a terrible voice, as a man started up from among the graves at the side of the church porch. “Keep still, or I’ll cut your throat!”
A fearful man with a great iron on his leg. A man with no hat, and with broken shoes, and with an old cloth tied round his head. He seized me by the chin（下巴）.
“Tell me your name!” said the man. “Quickly!” “Pip, sir.” I tried to keep myself from crying.
“Show me where you live,” said the man. “Point out the place!” I pointed to where our village lay, a mile or more from the church.
The man, after looking at me for a moment, turned me upside down, and emptied my pockets. There was nothing in them but a piece of bread.
“You young dog, now look here!” said the man. “Where’s your mother?” “There, sir!” said I.
He looked surprised, made a short run, and stopped and looked over his shoulder. “There, sir!” I explained, pointing to the tombstone. “That’s my mother.” “Oh!” said he, coming back. “And is that your father along your mother?” “Yes, sir,” said I, “him too.”
“Ha!” he said then. “Who do you live with supposing you’re kindly let to live, which I hadn’t made up my mind about?”
“My sister, sir — Mrs. Joe Gargery — wife of Joe Gargery, the blacksmith, sir.”
“Blacksmith, eh? Now look here,” he said, “the question being whether you’re to be let to live. You get me a file（锉）and food, and bring both to me, or I’ll have your heart and live out.”
I said that I would get him the file and what broken bits of food I could find, and I would come to him at the Battery, early in the morning.
“Say Lord strike you dead if you don’t! ”said the man. I said so, and he took me down.
When he came to the low church wall, he got over it, and then turned around to look for me. When I saw him turning, I set my face towards home, and made the best use of my legs. 31. Which of the following do you think the man was? A. A policeman B. An escaped prisoner C. A traveler D. A soldier
32. Which of the following statements CANNOT be used to describe the man? A. He was poorly dressed.
B. He was afraid to be found by other people. C. He was hungry. D. He was kind to the boy.
33. How did the boy feel when the man was talking to him? A. Frightened B. Excited C. Fearful D. Sad
34. According to the passage, which of the following statements is WRONG? A. The boy’s village was a mile or more from the church. B. The boy’s parents were both dead.
C. The boy’s brother-in-law was a blacksmith.
D. The little boy didn’t promise he would do what the man asked him to do. 35. Why did the word blacksmith catch the man’s attention? A. He was afraid that the blacksmith would kill him.
B. He was certain that the blacksmith would help him break his chains. C. He thought he might ask the boy to get him a file to break his chains.
D. He was worried that the blacksmith would not let the boy bring him any food.
