Imagine landing in a foreign country where you cannot speak the language, understand the culture and don’t know anybody. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a friend who could help you out?
John Smith, an English explorer who landed in America in 1607, found the best friend ever. She was a Native American named Pocahontas (1595-1617). And she did more than teach Smith the language: she saved his life, twice.
Smith was captured(捕捉) by members of Pocahontas’s tribe(部落) and was going to be killed. But for some reason, the Chief’s daughter, Pocahontas, felt sorry for Smith (who was probably the first white man she had ever seen) and threw her body over his to protect him. Smith returned safely to the small village he was living in. During the winter the English settlers did not know how to get food from nature. Pocahontas often brought food for Smith and his friends.
A year later Pocahontas’s father tried to kill Smith again because the Native Americans were very scared the English would try to take over their land. Pocahontas warned him and he was able to escape. Later she became a Christian and eventually married an Englishman named John Rolfe. She spent the last year of her life in London. Pocahontas has become an American legend. Her life story has been re-created in many books and films, including Disney’s 1995 film, Pocahontas.
One of the reasons she is so popular is that many Europeans look at Pocahontas as an excellent example of how a minority can adjust into the majority. Pocahontas is also respected because of her selfless love. She proved that people can be kind and loving even to people of a different race or culture. John Smith was very different from Pocahontas but she could see he was a good man and that was all that mattered. No race or country owns goodness, love and loyalty.

(答案→)C 解析：【小题1】细节题。阅读全文可以知道，早期的欧洲拓荒者遇到的困难显然没有C选项描述的本族人性格残暴，喜欢杀戮这个描述。故C选项符合题意【小题2】推断题。根据文章中最后一段第三行Pocahontas is also respected because of her selfless love，Pocahontas就斯密斯是出自他无私的爱，这种爱是不分种族和国度的故A正确【小题3】细节题。根据文章最后一段对Pocahontas成名的描述可知 根据她的生平于1995年拍的迪斯尼电影显然不是她成名的原因，而是成名的结果 故D正确【小题4】推断题。根据文章第四段的描述可以推断早期拓荒者和本族美国人之间的战争史由他们之间争夺地盘而起 。 故D正确
