[2017·江西高考]
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 crystalclear
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.
1. The underlined word “dare” in Paragraph 1
is closest in meaning to ________.
A. courage B. assistance
C. instruction
D. challenge
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.
3. Why did Dennis ignore the warning of the old man?
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.
4. Why did Tom scream and faint?
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.
5.
What lesson can we learn from the story of Dennis?
A. Grasp
all, lose
all.
B. No sweat,
no sweet.
C. It is no use crying over spilt milk.
D. He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.

Ⅵ.书面表达
下面这幅漫画反应了当今教育的一种现象，请你根据漫画内容，写一篇英语短文。
要求：
1. 描述漫画内容；
2. 立意正确；
3. 表达个人感想；
4. 词数100左右。
One possible version：
It is an ironic picture which reflects a social reality. In the
picture, the man makes some clay men with only one mould. The clay
men are the same in shape and expressions, which makes no
difference. It reminds me of our education, which is similar to it.
Students are educated in the same way, their difference in personality
and ability not considered.
But, in my opinion, we should not produce the talented into a
large quantity of the same quality.
We should base on students'
character to educate them just as American schools do.
Only in this
way can we cultivate more talents for our country, and realize the true
meaning of education.
