26、

English book Animal Farm (1945) tells a story about farm animals. They are fed up with (受够了) Mr Jones, the farmer. He treats them badly, so they decide to kick him off the farm and run the farm themselves.

One day an old pig called Old Major gathers the animals around him. He tells them that all animals should stand together. He says they should take over the farm. They say that all animals are equal.

After they get rid of (摆脱) Mr Jones, two pigs become the leaders of Animal Farm. One pig called Snowball is a great speaker. He has big ideas for Animal Farm. The other leader is a pig called Napoleon. Napoleon is a crafty (狡猾的) animal. He brings together supporters by offering them advantages.

Napoleon makes a war against Snowball and kicks him away from the farm. He turns Snowball into a big enemy. He says that Snowball is working with Farmer Jones and other farmers to do harm to Animal Farm.

But as it turns out it is Napoleon who is working with the enemies of the animals. He joins up with the old human enemies of the animals. But he tells the animals that he is working for them. At the same time the animals work hard. It seems that it is as bad to live under Napoleon as it was under Farmer Jones!

Why is the story so important?

Animal Farm is an excellent choice for learners of English because it’s very short. The language is also simple.

Like many famous stories Animal Farm is not just a book. It was played on the BBC radio in 1947. The big modern way of telling stories is in movies of course. Orwell’s book has become a film twice. Perhaps it won’t surprise you that the first one (1954) was a cartoon. In 1984 another film was made. This was a live-action (真人版的) film. The famous book has also been put on in the theater. In 1984 a play was made and it toured a number of British cities.

b. Animals are tired of Mr Jones.

A.George Orwell is the writer of the book Animal Farm.

B.All the learners of English should read this book.

C.The book became a film in 1947.

27、   The pencil is a very simple object. However, it took hundreds of people over centuries to make it what it’s like today.

The story of the pencil starts with graphite(石墨). People cut it into small sticks and use them to write or draw. Around 1560, an Italian couple named Simoni and Lyndiana Bemacotti added wood holders to the graphite sticks. However, since the graphite is too soft, the pencils were easy to break. In 1795, in France, Nicolas-Jacques Conte worked out a method of mixing graphite powders with clay(黏土). In this way, people made strong pencil core(铅笔芯). To this day, the method is still used in making pencils.

It was Henry David Thoreau who came up with the grading scale(分级量表) for different hardnesses of pencils. It was graded one through four, and grade two is the proper hardness for general use. The softer the pencil is, the more graphite it has in it, and the darker the line is. The harder the pencil is, the more clay it has, and the lighter the line is. Nowadays, pencils marked 2B are usually used in exams to mark answers. Pencils marked HB are usually used in daily writing. People usually use pencils of different hardness and blackness to draw different parts of a picture.

When pencils were handmade, they were made round. Then an American Joseph Dixon developed machines to make pencils. Later people found out it was easier and less wasteful to make a pencil which has six sides.

There is a pencil for everyone and every pencil has a story. The Blackwing 602 is famous for being used by a lot of writers. And then, you have the Dixon pencil company. It’s what people think of when they think of a pencil and what they most probably will buy when their children are about to write.

In my opinion, there’s nothing that can be done to make the pencil better than it is.

【1】Who improved the hardness of pencils?

A.Joseph Dixon. B.Nicolas-Jacques.

【2】What can we learn about pencils?

A.Pencils of great hardness are less useful.

B.Their hardness and blackness decide their uses.

C.Round pencils were first made by machines.

D.Pencils with six sides are comfortable to use.

【3】What does Paragraph 5 tell us?

A.Pencils are the best writing tool. B.There are many kinds of pencils.

C.The Blackwing 602 is very expensive. D.Dixon pencils are popular with people.

【4】What does the underlined word “it” mean in Paragraph 4?

A.The grading scale. B.The story of the pencil.

C.To make the pencil round. D.To make a pencil which has six sides.

【5】What’s the text mainly about?

A.The development of pencils. B.The main inventors of pencils.

28、A:Time flies!It’s time to say goodbye to my junior high school!. When looking back at these  past three 【1】 (year), I remember many things.
