Fog is caused by Boston's closeness to water.Rain is frequent in spring and summer，while snow falls regularly in winter，making Boston one of the nation's wettest cities.Atlantic Ocean breezes keep Boston's climate relatively mild，compared to other cities in the northeastern US.
From the end of Puritan control，Boston was a religious city.Boston was also the focus of the New England Anti-Slavery Society，founded in 1832.Boston's African American population in the mid1800s was a lot， mainly because Massachusetts had said that slavery was illegal in 1783.By the time of the Civil War ， Boston was a stop on the Underground Railroad，which helped escaping slaves.

Ⅲ.阅读理解 （2016·黑龙江大庆实验中学月考）Treasure hunts have excited people's imagination for hundreds of years both in real life and in books such as Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island.Kit Williams, a modern writer, had the idea of combining the real excitement of a treasure hunt with clues(线索) found in a book when he wrote a children's story, Masquerade, in 1979.The book was about a hare, and a month before it came out Williams buried a gold hare in a park in Bedfordshire.The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare, but Williams put in a lot of “red herrings ”, or false clues, to mislead them.Ken Roberts, the man who found the hare, had been looking for it for nearly two years.Although he had been searching in the wrong area most of the time, he found it by logic(逻辑), not by luck.His success came from the fact that he had gained an important clue at the start.He had realized that the words: “One of Six to Eight ” under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way to Katherine of Aragon, the first of Henry VIII's six wives.Even here, however, Williams had succeeded in misleading him.Ken knew that Katherine of Aragon had died at Kimbolton in Cambridgeshire in 1536 and thought that Williams had buried the hare there.He had been digging there for over a year before a new idea occurred to him.He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Ampthill, in Bedfordshire, and thought that he must have buried the hare in a place he knew well, but he still could not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon, until one day he came across two stone crosses in Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in1773.Even then his search had not come to an end.It was only after he had spent several nights digging around the cross that he decided to write to Kit Williams to find out if he was wasting his time there.Williams encouraged him to continue, and on February 24th 1982, he found the treasure.It was worth 3,000 in the beginning, but the excitement it had caused since its burial made it much more valuable.1.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refers to______ .A.red herringsB.treasure huntsC.readers of MasqueradeD.Henry VIII's six wives解析：C 词义猜测题。
上文提到这本书提供了许多线索给读者，但作者Williams设置了许多假线索，误导读者。
