第8课时　[Unit 2 名著阅读]When Oliver arrived in this hard world, it was very doubtful whether he would live beyond the first three minutes. He lay on a hard little bed and struggled(斗争) to start breathing.Oliver fought his first battle without much help from the two people present at his birth. One was an old woman, who was nearly always drunk, and the other was a busy local doctor, who was not paid enough to be very interested in Oliver's survival.However, Oliver managed to draw his first breath, and then announced his arrival by crying loudly. His mother raised her pale young face and whispered, “Let me see it.”The doctor turned away from the fire, where he had been warming his hands. He gave her the baby. Lovingly, she kissed the baby with her cold white lips, then stared wildly around the room, fell back—and died.The doctor began to put on his coat. “The mother was a good­looking girl. Where did she come from？”“She was brought here last night，” replied the old woman. “She was found lying in the street. Where she came from, or what her name was, nobody knows.”The doctor lifted the girl's left hand. “The old story，” he shook his head. “No wedding ring, I see. Ah! Good night.”And so Oliver was left with only the drunken nurse. He was then sent to a special “baby farm” nearby. There, he and thirty other children rolled(翻滚) around the floor all day, without__the__inconvenience(不便)__of__too__much__food__or__too__much__clothing. Mrs Mann, who “looked after” them, was very experienced. She knew what was good for children. She also knew what was good for herself, so she kept for her own use the money that she was given for the children's food. The board(董事会) responsible(负责的) for the orphans(孤儿) sometimes checked on the health of the children, but they always sent Mr Bumble, a kind local policeman, to announce their visit the day before. So whenever the board arrived, of course, the children were always neat(整洁的) and clean.On Oliver's ninth birthday, Mr Bumble came to see Mrs Mann. Through the front window Mrs Mann saw him at the gate, and turned quickly to the girl who worked with her.“Quick! Take Oliver and those others upstairs to be washed！” she said. Then she ran out to unlock the gate which was always kept locked.—Adapted from Oliver Twist(《雾都孤儿》)(　　)1.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Oliver was born into the world on a cold day.B．Many people, especially women, drank heavily at that time.C．The children in the baby farm were taken good care of.D．Doctors were usually well paid for the work they did.(　　)2.According to the passage, the gate of the baby farm was always kept locked in order to________．A．protect the children inside from dangers outsideB．prevent officers walking in unexpectedlyC．keep the children inside working all the timeD．make sure the children were always neat and clean(　　)3.What does the underlined sentence probably mean according to the passage?A．Oliver and other children had enough food and clothing.B．Oliver and other children didn't have enough food or clothing.C．Oliver and other children had no food or clothing at all.D．Oliver and other children had a very good time in the baby farm.(　　)4.What's the passage mainly about?A．Oliver's early life.    B．Oliver's personality.C．Oliver's mother's death.    D．People's selfishness(自私)．【词汇积累】 survival n. 幸存　wildly adv. 猛烈地，疯狂地　drunken adj. 醉的，醉酒的　experienced adj. 有经验的，熟练的，有阅历的　unlock vt. 开……的锁【词汇活用】从“词汇积累”中选择合适的单词，并用其适当形式填空。1．The man ________ the car and threw the coat on to the back seat.2．Officials said there were no ________ of the plane crash.3．Of all the maths teachers, Mr White is ________．
