Ⅴ.阅读理解
The light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold of Dennis's Swamp (沼泽地) creeping into their bones.It was a strange place.Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack's dare．They liked camping, but not near this swamp.
“So，” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals.“How did this place get its name? ”
“Are you sure you want to hear it? It's a scary story，” warned Jack.
“Of course！” cried out Tom.“If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn't have chosen this place！”
“OK, but don't say I didn't warn you，” said Jack, and he began his tale.
“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here.He built that cottage over there to live in.In those days, the area looked quite different－it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal－clear river.After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops.He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.”
“‘You are clearing too much land’， warned one old man.‘the land is a living thing.It will hit back at you if you abuse it.’
‘Silly fool’， said Dennis to himself.‘If I clear more land, I can grow more crops.I'll become wealthier.He's just jealous！’”
“Dennis continued to chop down trees.Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed.He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door.He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land.He did not notice

swamp plants choking all the native plants.”
“What happened? ” Martin asked.It was growing colder.He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire.
“The land hit back－just as the old man warned，” Jack shrugged.“Dennis disappeared.Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater.His body was never found.”
“What a stupid story, ” laughed Tom.“Plants can't...” Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted(晕倒)．The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom.Suddenly, they burst out laughing.Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom's face.It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.
【语篇解读】 本文主要讲述了三个人在沼泽地附近露营以及Dennis's Swamp名字的由来。
1．The underlined word “dare” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________．
A．courage B．assistance
C．instruction D．challenge

解析 考查词义猜测。 由语境可知，他们去沼泽地野营应该是接受了杰克的挑战。
2．Why did Jack tell Tom and Martin the story?
A．To frighten them.
B．To satisfy their curiosity.
C．To warn them of the danger of the place.
D．To persuade them to camp in the swamp.
答案 B
解析 考查推理判断。根据第二、三、四段他们的对话可知，Jack多次警告他们这个故事吓人，但经不住他们的请求还是告诉他们了，可知讲这个故事并不是为了吓他们，而是为了满足他们的好奇心。

A．The old man envied him.
B．The old man was foolish.
C．He was too busy to listen to others.
D．He was greedy for more crops.

A．He saw Dennis's shadow.
B．He was scared by a plant.
C．His friends played a joke on him.
D．The weather became extremely cold.
答案 B
