Answer 1

分析 本文是美國黑人運動領袖塔布曼的簡介，從一個黑人奴隸到成為黑人戰(zhàn)士直到內(nèi)戰(zhàn)結(jié)束后為黑人工作的一生．

解答 56．答案是D．主旨大意題．文章介紹了美國黑人女英雄塔布曼的一生，所以選D．
57．答案是A．推理判斷題．根據(jù)文中句子"She became an expert at hiding from slave hunters"塔布曼擔任地下活動組織者，曾協(xié)助很多黑奴奔向自由，成了地下鐵路的一個著名"售票員"．Underground Railway是一個營救黑人的地下活動組織．所以答案選A．
58．答案是B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第三段第一句"Now that Harriet was free"塔布曼自由了，可知塔布曼成功地逃到賓夕法尼亞州自由了，感覺是來到了天堂．所以答案選B．
59．答案是D．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)最后一段句子"She kept working．She traveled and gave speeches to raise money for better education for black children"她繼續(xù)工作，到處為了提高黑人的教育基金而演講，可見內(nèi)戰(zhàn)后，塔布曼繼續(xù)為黑人工作．所以答案是D．
60．答案是C．排序題，根據(jù)文中對于塔布曼一生的描述，第四句People called her Moses，是在內(nèi)戰(zhàn)之前那些被她幫助的黑人給她的稱謂，第一句She spied for the North為北方當間諜發(fā)生在內(nèi)戰(zhàn)期間，所以答案選C．
