閱讀理解—推理判斷題。
Harriet Tubman was an African-American woman who fought against slavery. She was born in 1820. She helped many people escape from slavery through the Underground Railroad. It was an organized effort to help slaves from the southern states to areas that banned slavery.
Slaves could be sold freely. Families were often separated. Harriet married a free black man named John Tubman in 1844, yet she remained a slave. In 1849, the farmer who owned her died. Then she ran to the home of a white woman who had offered to help her.
This woman told her how to reach another home where she could hide. Harriet Tubman want from place to place in this way. This was how the Underground Railroad operated. Finally, she went into the northern state of Pennsylvania. During the next ten years, she led an expanded Underground Railroad, and helped 300 slaves escape.
Harriet Tubman found another way to fight against slavery during the civil War. She went into the southern states to spy(做間諜) for the North. After the Civil War, Harriet Tubman settled in New York State. She gave speeches to raise money for better education for black Americans, worked for women's rights and sought help for older adults who had been slaves.

語篇解讀 哈麗特·塔布曼是個美籍非洲人,她與奴隸制度勇敢作斗爭。她不僅幫助黑人,也為女權工作。
D 主旨大意題。第一段第一句是本文談論的主題,即哈麗特·塔布曼是個美籍非洲人,她與奴錄制度勇敢作斗爭。
A 推理判斷題。根據第三段可知,黑人奴錄通過這條地下通道可以到達沒有奴錄制度的北方,成為自由人。C 項容易錯選,第二段提到了一個白人婦女對塔布曼的幫助,但這并不能說有很多白人關心黑人。
D 推理判斷題。根據第四段第二句話“… spy(做間諜)for the North.”為北方當間諜可得出答案。
C 細節(jié)理解題。根據第四段第四句話“.. worked for women's rights… ”可知,她也為女權工作,因此她不僅幫助黑人。
