The True Story of Treasure Island
It was always thought that Treasure Island was the product of Robert Louis Stevenson'simagination.36 ,recent research has found the true story of this exciting work.
Stevenson,a Scotsman,had lived 37 for many years.In 1881 he returned to Scotlandfor a 38 .With him were his American wife Fanny and his son 39 Each morning Stevenson would take them out for a long 40 over the hills.They had been 41 this for several days before the weather suddenly took a turn for the worse.Kept indoors by the heavy rain,Lloyd felt the days 42 .To keep the boy happy,Robert asked the boy to do some 43
One morning,the boy came to Robert with a beautiful map of an island.Robert 44 that the boy had drawn a large cross in the middle of 45 ."What's that?" he asked."That's the 46 treasure'" said the boy.Robert suddenly 47 something of an adventure story in the boy's 48 .While the rain was pouring,Robert sat down by the fire to write a story.He would make the 49 a twelve-year-old boy,just like Lloyd.But who would be the pirate (海盗)?
Robert had a good friend named Henley,who walked around with the 50 of a women leg.Robert had always wanted to 51 such a man in a story.52 Long John Silver,the pirate with a wooden leg,was 53 .
So,thanks to a 54 September in Scotland,a friend with a wooden leg,and the imagination of a twelve-year-old boy,we have one of the greatest 55 stories in the English language.

36. A.这个题目主要考察的是连词的用法.从题目我们可以看到,本文写的是《金银岛》的真实故事.而文章的开头第一句就说人们经常认为《金银岛》是Robert想象力的产物.如果人们经常的想法是正确的,那么我们就不用讲述这个“真实”的故事了.所以通过题目和文章的第一句我们就能判断出36题应该是转折的含义.而B中的Therefore表示“因此”,C中Besides表示“除了…之外,还有…”,D中Finally表示“最终”,只有A项However才是正确的答案.
37. D.Stevenson是苏格兰人,1881年回到苏格兰,那我们就可以得知在此之前他一定生活在国外,而且第二段最后一句中提到了他的太太和妻子,可以得知他不是一个人生活,所以可以排除A而选择D项abroad.这个单词在《新概念二册》的第4课中曾做过细致的讲解.
38. C.本题需要与下文内容结合来判断.他带着孩子和美国的妻子一定不是去开会和工作,也不能是写故事,只有度假最合乎逻辑.所以我们就自然而然判断出答案是holiday了.
39. A.本题是要我们确定孩子的名字,将后面一段读完就能发现孩子的名字叫Lloyd,答案位置出现在42题之前.本题考查的是同位语的理解,而在《新概念二册》的许多文章当中都出现了同位语的用法.
40. C.本句可理解为到山里去最常见的就是,因此应为take sb. out for a walk.
41. D.在天气变坏之前,这一家人一定是非常享受山村中惬意的生活,所以我们能确定不会是attempting(尝试),missing(想念,错过),planning(计划),只有D项符合题意.
42. B.被大雨困在屋子里对于一个孩子来说一定是一件很无聊的事情,这样我们就一下能选择出正确答案dull.
43. C.为了让孩子能高兴,Robert就让儿子do some drawing(画画).看过下一段的第一句话本题的答案就能确定了.孩子拿着漂亮的地图给Robert看,那一定是他画的,而不能是cleaning(打扫),writing(写作),exercising(练习).
44. B.Robert发现孩子在这个岛的中间位置画了一个大十字.本题考查的是近义词汇的辨析.doubted(怀疑),decided(决定),recognized(认出),都不能确切表达“注意到,发现”的含义,只有noticed(表示细节的注意)符合要求.本题考点的词汇辨析在《新概念二册》第26课和54课重点讲解过.
45. D.孩子画的是个岛屿,那么十字架一定是出现在岛屿上,故选择D.
46. B.提到treasure,在《新概念二册》第55课中讲到的就是迷失财宝的故事.埋藏在地下的秘密财宝的表达方式也正是buried treasure,所以相信学过新二的同学一定能一下就确定正确答案.而forgotten,discover和unexpected分别表示“被忘记的”,“被发现的”和“出乎意料的”,用在这里就不合适了.
47. A.本题用到的是一个固定搭配的短语see sth. in…,即“从…中发现,从…看到”.something of an adventure story可以理解为“一个冒险故事之类的东西”.Robert从儿子的画中看到了一个可以创造的寻找财宝的冒险故事.
48. C.根据47即可得出本题答案.
49. B.外面下着大雨,Robert坐在火炉边开始了他的故事的创作.既然是故事,就一定需要人物,而冒险故事中一定要有一个主人公作为英雄出现.本题通过四个名词的辨析,确定答案为hero(英雄、主人公).
50. A.with the help of…为固定搭配结构“在…的帮助下”
51. C.Robert一直想写一个关于这样的人的故事.include sb. in a story可以表示“将某人包括于故事当中”.而praise(表扬),produce(制造),accept(接受)都不是正确答案.
52. D.表示顺承关系用Thus,因此Long John Silver带着木头假肢的人就产生了.
53. B.作品中人物的产生用born就可以.read“读”,hire“雇佣”,written“写”.
54. A.最后一个段落可以说是对文章的总结.在苏格兰度过的是下雨的时光,故本题答案即为rainy.
55. D.通过上文的讲述,我们知道Treasure Island是一个冒险故事.
金银岛的真实故事
一直以来金银岛都被认为是罗伯特.路易斯.斯蒂芬孙想象的产物.然而,近来的研究却发现了这项激动人心作品的真实故事.
斯蒂芬孙,一位苏格兰人,在国外居住多年.1881年,带着美国人妻子芬尼和儿子罗伊德,他回到苏格兰度假.
每天早上斯蒂芬孙都会带他们到山上散步,几天来他们一直都乐于此事,直到天气突然变糟.一直被大雨困在室内,罗伊德觉得日子极其乏味.为了使儿子快乐,罗伯特就让他画画.
一天早上,小男孩带着一幅有着岛屿的好看地图去找罗伯特.罗伯特发现小男孩在岛屿中间画了一个大十字.“那是什么?”他问道.“那是埋藏的宝藏.”小男孩说道.罗伯特突然间在儿子的画中看见某些类似冒险故事的东西.雨还在下,罗伯特坐在火堆旁写了一个故事.他把主人公塑造为一个就像罗伊德一样的12岁男孩,但是谁会成为海盗呢?
罗伯特有一个叫亨利的好友,靠着一个木制假肢行走.罗伯特一直想在故事中加一个这样的人.于是,隆.约翰.西尔万.有着木制假肢的海盗诞生了.
因此,多亏了在苏格兰9月的那场雨,一个有木制假肢的朋友,以及一个12岁男孩的想象力.我们有了一本英语中最伟大的冒险故事.
