【题目】 The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was published in 1885 and is a sequel(续集)to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. At the end of the story, Tom and his best friend Huck found a lot of money in a cave and were allowed to keep it. Huck starts his story by describing what has happened to him since then.

Many people consider Huckleberry Finn to be one of the ‘great American novels’. However, when it first came out it was banned by some libraries and schools. People thought that Huck, a young boy and the main character, wasn’t a good example for children because he lied, stole and used bad language. Later, in the second half of the twentieth century, the novel was criticized for its racist language.

In the novel Twain attacks many of the traditions of the southern states of the USA, through the eyes of the main character, the reader sees and judges the South, its faults and its good qualities.

Several themes run through the story. Perhaps the most important one is slavery, which was finally abolished in all American states in 1865. Another is freedom. Both Huck and Jim want to be free—Jim from slavery and Huck from the society that wants to control him. A third is friendship. The adventures that Jim and Huck share on the river bring them closer together. The fact that Jim is black and a slave is no longer important and they become good friends. Jim helps Huck and Huck helps Jim in return.

【题目】 Finally, a huge wall of ice blocked our plan. Soon the Nautilus itself was stuck in the ice. The Nautilus dived to about eight hundred meters and travelled quickly under the icecap. Conseil and I looked for fish, but there were none. We travelled under the ice for two days.

On the third day, we rushed onto the deck to see water and a small island. The crew caught some fish in their nets and we ate some for dinner. Captain studied his instruments and announced we were at the South Pole. We all cheered. Then the Nautilus dived and began its return voyage. Suddenly I felt a shock. The Nautilus had stopped moving and was leaning to one side. It was stuck under an iceberg. Captain Nemo was clearly worried. We were in a kind of tunnel with ice above and below us. Both ends of the tunnel were blocked with more ice. Captain Nemo told us there were two ways of dying in that situation. We had enough air for two days, but we might be crushed before that. Captain Nemo and his crew used a long pole and found we were lying on ten meters of ice.
