\way, good people, make way, in the King's name! \he. \a text; and, I promise you, Mistress Prynne shall be set where man, woman, and child, may have a fair sight of her brave clothing, from this time till an hour past noon. A blessing on the moral Colony of the Massachusetts, where immorality is dragged out into the sunshine! Come along, Madam Hester, and show your scarlet （鲜红色的；罪孽深重的）letter in the market-place!
A lane was at once opened through the crowd. Led by the beadle （狱吏），and attended by an irregular procession of serious-looking men and unkind-looking women, Hester Prynne set forth towards the place appointed for her punishment. A crowd of eager and curious schoolboys, understanding little of the matter in hand, except that it gave them a half-holiday, ran before

her progress, turning their heads continually to stare into her face, and at the winking baby in her arms, and at the shameful letter on her breast.
It was no great distance, in those days, from the prison-door to the market-place. Measured by the prisoner's experience, however, it might be considered to be a rather long journey; for, though her manner was proud, she perhaps underwent an extreme pain from every footstep of those who thronged to see her, as if her heart had been thrown into the street for them all to step upon. In our nature, however, there is a condition that the sufferer should never know the intensity of what he endures by its present suffering, but chiefly by the pain that rankles （使痛心）after it. With almost a calm manner, therefore, Hester Prynne passed through this portion of her suffering, and came to a sort of scaffold （刑台），at the western end of the market-place. It stood nearly beneath the eaves of Boston's earliest church, and appeared to be a fixture there. 4. What can we know about the schoolboys? A. They knew a little of the matter.
B. They were full of curiosity and eagerness. C. They were happy for having a one-day holiday. D. They like Hester Prynne and her baby very much.
5. What does the underlined word “thronged\ A. Gathered. C. Pretended.
6. What can we know from paragraph 3?
A. The prison was really far from the market-place. B. The scaffold is at the eastern end of the market-place. C. Hester Prynne was thrown into the street for people to step on.
D. The sufferer mainly knows the intensity of the pain after the suffering. 7. What would probably happen to Hester Prynne according to the text? A. She would be set free.
C. She would put on a performance. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. D

has shown that it isnt quite as simple as that, but scientists have found that if you see a green sky, you should probably go inside. As far as most scientists can tell, the green skies around powerful thunderstorms are usually a combination of red sunsets and water droplets.
Daytime skies are blue because blue shorter wavelengths of visible light tend to bounce off （反 射）air molecules better than red longer wavelength light. So the blue light gets bounced all over the sky and looks like it's coming from everywhere. Meanwhile, around sunset sunlight travels through so much atmosphere that just about all the blue is bounced away from the horizon, leaving all those reds and oranges behind. The sunset might look exclusively （独有的）red and orange, but there's still some green and even blue light hidden in there, just far less than the other colors. But for us to notice the remaining green light, it needs to hit something that reflects green light much better than red. That’s where water comes in.
Big tall threatening storm clouds are made of water droplets, and even though water is best at reflecting blue light, it can still reflect green pretty well, much better than reds and oranges, so under just the right conditions, the water in and around a cloud can bounce the green light hidden in the sunset right into our eyes making the sky look green.
Still, none of the conditions that can turn skies green are unique to the clouds that produce tornadoes. Sometimes they just lead to lots of rain, and maybe some hail. So if you see huge storm clouds rolling in and a green tint （色调）in the sky, it doesn’t necessarily mean there’s about to be a tornado, but it does mean you should probably head indoors. 8. What can be the best title for the text? A. Why Do the Central United States Get Tornadoes B. Do Green Skies Mean a Coming Tornado C. A Common Piece of Celestial Fortune-telling D. Green Skies Are Unique to Clouds 9. Why are the skies blue in the daytime?
A. Because only blue light can be bounced in the daytime. B. Because there is more blue light than light of other colors. C. Because blue light is bounced all over the sky. D. Because red light is weaker than blue light.
10. What does the underlined word \A. The sunset.
’
B. Red light.
