　　Harriet Tubman was an African-American woman who fought against slavery. She was born in 1820. She helped many people escape from slavery through the Underground Railroad. It was an organized effort to help slaves from the southern states to areas that banned slavery.

　　Slaves could be sold freely. Families were often separated. Harriet married a free black man named John Tubman in 1844, yet she remained a slave. In 1849, the farmer who owned her died. Then she ran to the home of a white woman who had offered to help her.

　　This woman told her how to reach another home where she could hide. Harriet Tubman want from place to place in this way. This was how the Underground Railroad operated. Finally, she went into the northern state of Pennsylvania. During the next ten years, she led an expanded Underground Railroad, and helped 300 slaves escape.

　　Harriet Tubman found another way to fight against slavery during the civil War. She went into the southern states to spy(做间谍) for the North. After the Civil War, Harriet Tubman settled in New York State. She gave speeches to raise money for better education for black Americans, worked for women's rights and sought help for older adults who had been slaves.

　　语篇解读

　　哈丽特·塔布曼是个美籍非洲人，她与奴隶制度勇敢作斗争。她不仅帮助黑人，也为女权工作。

　　D 主旨大意题。第一段第一句是本文谈论的主题，即哈丽特·塔布曼是个美籍非洲人，她与奴录制度勇敢作斗争。

　　A 推理判断题。根据第三段可知，黑人奴录通过这条地下通道可以到达没有奴录制度的北方，成为自由人。C 项容易错选，第二段提到了一个白人妇女对塔布曼的帮助，但这并不能说有很多白人关心黑人。

　　D 推理判断题。根据第四段第二句话“… spy（做间谍）for the North.”为北方当间谍可得出答案。

　　C

　　细节理解题。根据第四段第四句话“.. worked for women's rights… ”可知，她也为女权工作，因此她不仅帮助黑人。

　　阅读理解(2017·西安模拟)

　　If you’re a dog lover, you probably know about the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Held annually in New York City, the event attracts thousands of dogs and their handlers, each competing for the top prize, Best in Show. Westminster is so popular that some people call it a Canine(犬科)Super Bowl.

　　But did you know that lots of smaller—and very different—dog shows take place each year across the country? One of them was held recently in Jacksonville, Florida. It was the Pals and Paws Agility Trial.

　　About 100 dogs took part in the three-day event, held March 8—10 at the Jacksonville Equestrian Center. In a dog contest, dogs compete on an obstacle course. They run through tunnels, weave through poles and jump through hoops and over hurdles. Handlers direct the dogs through obstacles. Dogs are judged on how long it takes them to complete the obstacle course and how well they perform each of the challenges. Ribbons and titles are awarded as dogs complete different events.

　　Dog agility(灵活)is a popular sport, widely practiced around the world. Participants say it strengthens the bond between handler and dog while providing exercise for both.

　　Does your dog have what it takes to compete? Liz McGuire says preparation is key. “You can keep your dog in condition by exercising them and feeding them the right foods, ”she said. “The dog has to train, sort of like a football player. ”McGuire competes in agility trials with five Australian shepherds(牧羊人).

　　Suzanne Wesley’s gray poodle(狮子狗), Raya, was in top shape at the Jacksonville event: Raya won the Agility Dog Champion title. It is one of the competition’s highest awards. Other owners and dogs taking part in the trials included Terry Herman and her miniature poodle, Idgie, and Stuart Mah with his four-year-old border collie, Ares.

　　For dog owners like Hunter Moore, however, the Pals and Paws Agility Trial was pure entertainment. He has a pug named Bessie, but he doesn’t compete. What did Moore like most about the Jacksonville event? “Seeing everyone try their best, even the dogs! ”

　　An old man in a faded yellow shirt sat in a windowless room on a raised concrete form.The only source of heat came from somewhere beneath the plastic mattress and the rough blanket the blank­faced police woman had handed him after taking his thumb prints.He heard voices and metallic clang as the cell door swung open.

　　At the front desk a tired looking policeman handed the old man back his belongings，his worn­out cap and the Seiko watch that had stopped working the day his beloved Evelyn left.The policeman dramatically held the blue plastic bag at an arm’s length to the old man who took it and made sure its contents were undamaged：the goat meat，palm oil，leaves and spices.He ignored the confused expression on the officer’s face and signed the document declaring he had been returned the possessions they had taken off him the night before.

　　No one spoke to him as he walked slowly towards the exit.

　　“Mr.Easy­nwa？”he stopped and prayed to God who now took care of Evelyn to please take him far away from this unhappy place of expressionless faces，clipped accents and people who did not even attempt to pronounce his name right.

　　“Ezenwa，”he said and looked at a woman with tangerine lips，her name tag said Jessica Harlow，Social Services.“A bit far from home，”she said as she drove fast and with confidence the way Evelyn used to.He wondered if she meant the 50 miles from Liverpool or the 50,000 miles from Enugu，a city in Nigeria.He did not bother replying as this woman had plenty to say about the weather，bad drivers，her daughter’s school play...

　　At last she drew up outside the block of flats where he lived.

　　“Got here in the end，”said she seriously，“Really Mr.Easynwa，if you keep getting lost，we will have to consider moving you into a home.”

　　“No need.I was not lost，” he answered.He carefully rolled up the sleeves of the oversize bomber jacket he wore and turned on the tap to wash his hands，relieved the pipes were not frozen.In a clean pan he placed the chopped pieces of goat meat.The herbs and spices that had taken him three months to track down，the uziza seeds had taken him into the heart of Granby Market in Liverpool，his uchanwu leaves down a shady back alley in Manchester，and yesterday，among other food items，the finest goat meat from a Sierra Leonean Butcher in Birmingham.That had taken some time，so much that he missed the last train and when the police found him shivering outside the locked up station，he was so cold that he couldn’t answer loudly enough the pink­faced big copper who yelled in his face，“What’s your name sir？”spraying his face with spittle(唾沫) as he did so，leaving them with no choice but to search an exhausted，frozen old black man and finding him in possession of mysterious condiments(调味品) including a bag of dried bitter­leaf which could of course be mistaken for anything that resulted in him getting charged with...possession.

　　He lifted the lid of the bubbling soup，the room was filled with the rich and spicy scent of his culinary(烹饪的) effort.He served two bowls，taking the chipped one and placing the other opposite where Evelyn would have sat.He would tell her about his adventure.It was their anniversary and this was the perfect pepper soup to celebrate.
