24、 It is believed that Huck Finn is based on a childhood friend of Mark Twain's. In fact, Twain was not alone in basing a fictional character on a real-life person.
Severus Snape/John Nettleship
Severus Snape is a skillful teacher teaching magic in Harry Potter. The writer, J. K. Rowling, once said that the character was based on a teacher of hers.
The teacher turned out to be John Nettleship, who taught Rowling chemistry. At first, Nettleship felt surprised. "I know I am a strict teacher," he said. "But I don't think I am as bad as Snape!" On second thoughts, however, he said that he was so ill-tempered that most of his students avoided making him mad. Also, he used to wear long hair and have an untidy lab. That sounds familiar to Harry Potter fans.
Alice/Alice Liddell
Famously, Lewis Carroll's Alice in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is based on Alice Liddell.
Carroll was close to the Liddell family. One day, ten-year-old Alice asked Carroll to tell her a new story. Carroll began to create his famous tale of Alice and what happened after she fell through the rabbit hole. The little girl liked the story so much that she asked him to write it down. And the rest is history.
Dill/Truman Capote
In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee based Dill on her childhood friend, Truman Capote. Capote once said, "Lee was my best friend. Have you ever read To Kill a Mockingbird? I'm a character in that story! The story takes place just in the town where we lived!"

27、 Cold weather affects (影响)how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word "cold".
For centuries, the body’s blood has to do with the emotions(情绪). People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example are said to be "cold-blooded". Cold-blooded people may do cruel (残忍的) things to others, For example, newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. the killer killed someone, not mistake. He seemed to kill for no reason, and with no emotion, not caring about others’ lives at all. Cold can affect other parts of the body. But the expression "get cold feet" has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. The expression "give someone the cold shoulder"probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to face. You may give the shoulder to a friend who has hurt you deeply, or to someone who has lied about you to others. "A cold fish" is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unemotional and show love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone. Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted. He or she will never feel sorry for those in bad situations.
"Out in the cold" means not getting something that all other people got. And it is not a pleasant place to be.
【1】According to Paragraph 1, the writer probably agrees that ______.
A.cold weather affects human bodies and minds
B.all the English expressions with the word "cold" are not good ones
C.human emotions are decided by the body’s blood
D.cold-blooded killers kill people for a certain reason

B.Daisy doesn’t wear enough clothes and "gets cold feet"
C."cold fish" Mr. Zhang usually sends money and clothes to the kids, in need
D.Mary told others Nancy’s secret and Nancy "gave her the cold shoulder"
【4】The passage is mainly about _______.

28、 Two days ago, Bob got a letter from his girlfriend, Mary. She wrote,“I will leave Beijing for London at ten on July 3rd. Please 【1】(meet) me at the airport”.

Bob said to himself, “Bad luck! What 【6】(happen) to her?” He went over to the information desk. “My name is Bob Waston,” he said. “Have you got any message for me?”
“Yes,” said the girl standing there. “A telephone message from China.” With these words, she handed him a piece of paper. “Mr Bob Waston, London Airport. Sorry, I 【7】(return) next Sunday.”
