13．阅读短文，完成表格
Have you read any books by Washington Irving？Now I will tell you a story written by him. The name of the story is Rip Van Winkle, and it is also the name of the hero in this story. There are three characters in this story, Rip Van Winkle and his wife, Dame Van Winkle and their dog, Woof. Dame Van Winkle is a sharp-tongued （说话尖酸的、刻薄的） woman. Both Rip Van Winkle and the dog are terrified of her, even of her voice.
There is a scene that can describe how Rip Van Winkle and his dog feel in front of Dame Van Winkle:
Rip had just one way of replying to his wife's talk: he only put his head back on his shoulders, looked up toward heaven, and said nothing. . . True, in the woods, Woof was as brave as an honorable dog should be， but as soon as Woof entered the house, his head bent low, his tail lay on the ground or curled between his legs. He went around the house with a guilty look, watching Dame Van Winkle out of the corner of his eyes, ready to run from the room at the slightest sign of her displeasure.
This was the time when England ruled America. One day, Rip Van Winkle went into the mountain with his dog for an escape of his wife. He drank something given by some strangers and fell asleep. That was 20 years! His wife died and America got freedom from England, and I think that's what the story wants to tell us: both the poor man's independence and nation's independence.
Why does Irving's story attract people? Because he wrote so vividly（生动地）. That sets me thinking: How he observed things so carefully? If you read through this story, you can't help smiling or laughing from time to time! （1）
Writer Number of characters Theme Reasons for its beauty Rip Van Winkle ________ ________ ________ ________ Main description of Rip's wife ________ 【答案】（1）Washington Irving
；three
；Dame Van Winkle is a sharp-tongued woman
；both the poor man's independence and nation's independence
；Because he wrote so vividly.
【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文，介绍美国作家华盛顿·欧文的小说《瑞普·凡·温克》的故事情节、人物、主题以及吸引人的原因等。
（1）writer意为作者，在第一句话中Have you read any books by Washington Irving？可以找到。by表示“被”，其后常常是作者的名字。所以答案是Washington Irving。
（2）Number of characters人物数量，根据第一段There are three characters in this story, Rip Van Winkle and his wife, Dame Van Winkle and their dog, Woof. 可知小说中有三个人物，即：瑞普·凡·温克；他的妻子Dame和狗 Woof。故答案为 three。
（3）Main description of Rip's wife对瑞普妻子的主要描写，根据第一段Dame Van Winkle is a sharp-tongued （说话尖酸的、刻薄的） woman. Both Rip Van Winkle and the dog are terrified of her, even of her voice.可知，她是一个泼妇，瑞普和他们的狗都害怕她，甚至害怕她的声音。所以答案为Dame Van Winkle is a sharp-tongued woman.
（4）theme主题，倒数第二段最后一句 what the story wants to tell us是主旨的同意表达，所以冒号后面的：both the poor man's independence and nation's independence就是答案。 （5）Reasons for its beauty（小说）漂亮的原因，根据最后一段首句Why does Irving's story attract people?可以判断attract（吸引）为同意表达，所以后面的Because he wrote so vividly.（因为他写的栩栩如生）是答案。
【点评】阅读表达首先要弄清楚文章的题材，结构，然后根据表格的要求在文中找到关键字，答案一定在关键字周围。
