Ⅵ. 阅读与回答问题
根据短文内容，回答下列问题。
When I was in college，I took English literature(文学)classes. Every month，we read and discussed a classic novel. The books had different themes，but we always asked the same question：What did the writer want people to get from the story?
For the first few months，I kept wondering：If a writer wants to express a message，why not do it directly? Why did Ernest Hemingway，for example，write about an old man fighting a big fish? Didn’t he just want to tell people to keep going when things get hard?
The more I read，the more I understood why. Great writers don’t tell；they show. Nobody likes a lecture(讲座). Just think about how you feel when your parents tell you not to waste money on blind boxes. But everybody enjoys a good story. While discussing a story，we uncover its deeper meanings. A good story makes a book a classic.
After all these years of editing(编辑)work，I’ve become a better writer. In many of my articles，I chose to “show” rather than “tell”. For example，I didn’t directly tell you to exercise more. Instead，I shared an experience that pushed me to change some habits.
Classic novels have taught me many other lessons. I’ve picked up lots of useful words. I’ve also learned to write with my readers in mind. You can also read to write better. Walk into a great “castle(城堡)” and find out what makes it great. Over time，you’ll be ready to build a great “castle” of your own.
1. What question did the writer ask after finishing every classic novel?
2. Whose book did the writer mention when introducing her questions?
3. How does the writer show her readers that they should exercise more?
4. What has the writer learned by reading classic novels?(Give at least 2 points.)
5. If you are in a book “castle”，which book will you choose? Give the name of the book and explain your reason.

Ⅶ. 首字母填空
根据短文内容及首字母提示，在横线上填入一个适当的词使短文完整。
At last I decided to run away. I went to the north of Lilliput，where our ships were. I took my c 1 off and put them into one of the warships(战舰). I also put a blanket into it. Then I stepped into the sea and swam to Blefuscu. When I arrived in Blefuscu，the king of Blefuscu sent two guides to show me the w 2 to the capital. That night，as the buildings there were too small for me，I slept on the ground，covered with my blanket. It was not as c 3 as my bed in Lilliput，but I did not mind.
I didn’t stay long in Blefuscu. Only three days after my arrival，I noticed a boat in the sea，near the beach. It was a real boat，large e 4 for me. I swam out and tied(绑)a raft to it. Then，with the help of twenty Blefuscu’s ships and three thousand sailors，I pulled it onto the beach. It was not badly damaged(损坏的)，and it was exciting to be able to start planning my j 5 back to England and my home.
The king asked his workmen to r 6 the boat and prepare everything I needed. About one month later，I left Blefuscu，on September 24th，1701. On the third day，September 26th，an English ship picked me up. I told the captain my s 7. In the beginning，he thought I was crazy，but when I took the living animals out of my pocket to show him，he believed what I said was r 8. I arrived home at last and saw my family again. I made a lot of money by showing my Lilliputian a 9 to people，and in the end，I sold them for a high price. But as the days passed，I became restless，and wanted to see more of the world. Only two months l 10，I said goodbye to my family and sailed away again.
