Unit 2 Poems Ⅰ.阅读理解 (2017·浙江高三五校联考第一次考试) At 27,after serving in World War ,I dreamed of owning a piece of land.So I moved from central Illinois to Shelbina,Missouri,and bought 236 acres for $6,000.The plot of land was situated on a dirt road and was half farmland and half trees,with an old house that had no running water or electricity.Obviously,it was not what you’d call prime real estate.But it was mine. I was alone for the first time in my life,and I found it liberating.My days were filled from dawn until dusk with plowing and planting corn.Dinnertime came and went,and I barely remembered to eat. I wouldn’t say I was a great success at farming in Missouri.However,when I went to the store to buy some plowshares,I met a nice woman named Claudette working behind the counter.I also ran into her at St.Mary’s Catholic Church in Shelbina each week.I found out later that her manager kept asking her about “that tall boy (and eligible bachelor) from Illinois living out in the country in an old house with no water,no electricity and no housekeeper.” Claudette and her sister soon visited my farm and put up some curtains.To show my appreciation,I took Claudette out for a ride in my 2-ton Studebaker truck.We married in 1954 and have now been together for more than 62 years! I later sold the Missouri farm for a $3,500 profit and bought 40 acres in Illinois.For many reasons,buying the Missouri farm was a good idea.I will always cherish memories of owning the farm and meeting my beloved. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者二战退伍后一直梦想拥有一块属于自己的土地,后来在密苏里买了一块地,依靠勤劳的双手经营自己的农场,直到后来遇到了自己的爱人,作者非常珍惜这段美好的回忆。 1.When the author bought the plot of land in Shelbina,　　　.? 　　　　　　　　 　　　 A.it was well equipped B.he was unsatisfied with it C.it was not a real estate D.he worked very hard on it 答案D 解析细节理解题。根据文章第二段“My days were filled from dawn until dusk with plowing and planting corn.”可知,作者非常努力地经营自己的农场。故选D项。 2.The underlined word “liberating” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by the word 　　　.?
