B. The Old Man and the Sea (Ernest Hemingway)
Santiago, an old Cuban fisherman, hasn’t caught any fish in more than 80 days. Sailing far out from land, the old man hooks an enormous fish. That begins an agonizing threeday battle. First he struggles against the great fish. Then he must fight off the sharks that circle the little boat and threaten to eat his fish. Exhausted and bleeding, the old man arrives back at shore. But his fish, his beautiful fish . . .
Hemingway won the Nobel Prize for this superb story of strength and courage, of victory and regret.

D. The Pearl (John Steinbeck)
One day Kino, a poor Mexican pearl diver, finds a magnificent pearl. With it he dreams of buying a better life, new clothes and schooling for his son. Instead, it brings only evil. His wife pleads with him to get rid of it. "No," says Kino. "I will have my chance. I am a man." But when he kills a man who is trying to steal the pearl, Kino and his wife must run for their lives.
This tale of dreams, justice and the power of greed is told simply and beautifully.
E. The Long Winter (Laura Ingalls Wilder)
It’s winter, 1880—1881, on America’s northern prairies. Mr. and Mrs. Ingalls and their four girls stay near the kitchen stove to keep warm. Heavy snowstorms cut them off even from neighbors. With the trains stopped, no supplies can reach the town. Food and fuel are running out. Day after day the girls must grind wheat for bread and twist hay to burn. At times they nearly lose the battle to keep their spirits up.
This story provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of early American settlers.
F. Jane Eyre (Charlotte Brontë)
Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most perennially popular works of English fiction. Although the poor but plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance, she possesses an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit and great courage. She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer and a rigid social order. All of which circumscribe her life and position when she becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic and attractive Mr Rochester.
However, there is great kindness and warmth in this epic love story, which is set against the magnificent backdrop of the Yorkshire moors.

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“Stepping into an old.....”主要考查你对 [听力 ]考点的理解。

听力

听力题解题技巧：     

1、听前预测：
（1）听前集中精力，全身放松，保持最佳的准备状态。
（2）认真阅读各个大题说明，以明确测试的内容、播读次数及答题方式。
（3）迅速阅读试卷上的文字信息，这些信息与录音材料有着密切的联系，可以提供录音所涉及的中心、时间、地点等。带着这些问题，积极主动地预测，可使自己处于主动地位，做到心中有数。
2、听中要诀：
（1）高度重视听好开头的句子或段落，这往往是谈话的中心。
（2）要注意整听。听的过程中，遇到个别词没听清（有可能是由于朗读技巧，如连读，弱读等造成的），这很正常，千万不要死死抓住不放，结果因小失大。要知道，几秒钟会读出几十个词语，而声音一旦消失，做题时肯定毫无依根据。正确的做法是毫不迟疑地跳过去，接着往下听，等录音放完后再凭记忆或依据上下文猜测。
（3）要留意重音。连贯的句子中，信息词（名词、动词、形容词等）在读的时候往往重读，精力放在这些词上便于把握重点。其实，想把每个词都听清楚是不可能的，也没必要。如下面对话时，只要听清加“′”的词即可。
M：′Where are the boys?
W：The boys went to the′concert.
M：Went to′what?
W：A′concert—they went to a′concert.
 （4）适当记些笔记。一边听录音，一边随手记些笔记，特别是其中的数字，如日期、时间、年龄、距离或地点，最好记下来，增大回答问题的准确性。但要注意原则，笔记不能影响听音的继续，也不能繁琐凌乱。可用代号、图形或自己明了的其他方式进行记录，脑笔结合记忆。
3、听后补救：
如果某一题没有听懂原文，无法判断正确答案，一不要着急慌张，而不要放弃不答。要根据大脑当时对该部分的声音印象，结合全文，结合题目文字材料，大胆猜测。例如你当时好像听到含有[ɑī]的某个词，这时你就可以想想my，high，fly，sight，five等词的词义，词类是否符合原文语境。总之，三选一意味着你随便猜，也有33%的机率，岂能轻易放过？

听力题注意事项：

1、集中精力，放松精神。
学生在参加听力测试时要充满信心，稳定情绪，沉着应对，切勿情绪不稳，心神不定，因为它不同于笔试答卷。
2、超前阅读，去同存异。
利用答题前的时间和放录音时各小题短暂停顿，可快速浏览所提供选项，注意它们之间的不同之处。
3、静心倾听，快速选择。
学生在阅读选项时一听见播放下一题听力材料，须停止阅读，静心倾听录音，立刻进行选择。如果一时选不出，可以根据录音的大概意思，合理推测，注意千万不要为了一个难题而耽误后面的试题。
4、记录要点，有备无患。
听对话和短文时最好边听边记，用自己平时最熟悉的标记与符号，简单记录一下重要的信息。这样做有助于听力材料播放完毕后逐个小题的去解答，而且有助于回顾形式完整的对话或短文梗概，以备核对复查。
