人教版英语必修第三册Unit 3 第一部分阅读理解（共两节） 第一节（共4小题） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 At one time, the Iroquois Indians lived along the lakes and rivers of the northern part of New York. The five tribes (部落) — the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca — fought with each other for years. In the late 1500s, a wise Iroquois man named Dekanawida had a dream. In his dream, he saw the end of the Indian wars. An Onondaga chief named Hiawatha agreed to help Dekanawida bring peace to the area. Hiawatha traveled from tribe to tribe, trying to persuade the tribal leaders to unite in peace. The leaders realized that if they stopped fighting, they could become a powerful force in the Northeast area. The leaders of the five tribes set up a league, called the Iroquois League, which brought all five tribes together. They set up a kind of democratic (民主的) government in which each tribe had an equal voice. A Great Council was formed. Forty-nine chiefs from every tribe were appointed to the Council. The members were all men, but they were chosen by the elder women of the tribes. The Council worked together to solve big issues for the league, while each tribe remained self-governing. In 1722, the Iroquois League increased from five to six tribes when the Tuscarora tribe joined them. The Iroquois League controlled the fur trade in the area. They controlled land from Canada to Kentucky. The Iroquois League remained powerful for over 200 years. Then during the War of Independence, most of the Iroquois League sided with the British. After the Americans defeated the British, many Iroquois villages were destroyed. The Iroquois were forced to move and live on reservations (印第安人居留地).This caused the Iroquois League to become less powerful. History shows that the writers of the United States Constitution used some of the same ideas as the Iroquois League. One section of the Iroquois Constitution is entitled “Rights of the people”and might be compared to the “Bill of Rights”, The Iroquois League's constitution is often called America's first democracy. 1．The underlined word “voice” in Paragraph 3 could probably be replaced by“________”．A．sound B．power C．saying D．speech 2．According to the text, the Iroquois League ________. A．consisted of six tribes in the 17th century B．became weak after the War of Independence C．helped the Americans defeat the British D．was greatly supported by the Americans 3．The political system of the Iroquois League ________. A．was ignored by American history experts B．had nothing to do with the “Bill of Rights” C．influenced the United States Constitution D．was entitled “Rights of the People” 4．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

Twain's best The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Cala v eras County is one of loved short stories, and The Ad v entures of Tom Sa w yer is one of his most famous novels. Both these works are celebrated by events held during National Tom Sawyer Days, which originated in the late 1950s and became national in the 1960s. Children enter There's also a their frogs in the jumping contest during National Tom Sawyer Days. fence painting contest to see who can paint the fastest. The idea for this contest comes from a scene in Tom Sawyer, in which Tom has been told to paint the fence in front of the house he lives in. It's a beautiful day, and he would rather be doing anything else. As his friends walk by, he makes them believe that it's fun to paint, and they join in the “fun”. By the end of the day, the fence has three coats of paint! Although the story of Tom Sawyer is a fiction (虚构的事), it's based on facts.
