D(2024·江苏徐州一模)
My first name was Philip, but when I was a small child, I could only say Pip. So Pip became my name. I lived in a small village with my sister, who married Joe, the village blacksmith(铁匠). My parents had been dead years ago, so I often went to visit the churchyard to look at their names on their gravestones(墓碑).
One cold afternoon, I sat on a gravestone in that churchyard, listening to the sound of the sea.
"Don't say a word!" cried a voice, as a man jumped up and caught me. "If you shout, I'll kill you!" He was a big man, with an iron chain(铁链) on his leg. He looked tired and hungry. I had never been so scared in my whole life.
"Oh! Don't kill me, Sir!"
"Tell me your name, boy!" he said, still holding me. "And show me where you live!"
"My name's Pip, Sir. And I live in the village over there."
He picked me up and turned me upside down. A piece of old bread fell out of my pocket. He ate it like a dog.
"So where are your parents?" he asked.
"There, Sir," I answered, pointing to their graves.
"What?" he cried, and wanted to run, when he saw where I was pointing. "Oh!" he said. "They're dead. Well, who do you live with?"
"With my sister, Sir, wife of the blacksmith."
"Blacksmith, you say?" And he looked down at his leg. Then he held me and looked down into my eyes.
"Now look here. You bring a file and some food to me tomorrow morning. If you don't, or if you tell anyone about me, I'll cut your heart out."
"I promise I'll do it, Sir," my body was shaking.
"You see," he continued, "I travel with a friend, who likes eating boys' hearts. Wherever you are, we'll find you."
As soon as he turned, I ran home as fast as I could.

答案： 12. D 【点拨】根据第一段中“My parents had been dead years ago，so I often went to visit the churchyard to look at their names on their gravestones(墓碑). ”可知，皮普的父母多年前就去世了，所以他经常去教堂墓地看他们的墓碑，为下文皮普在教堂墓地发生的故事点明了原因。故选 D。
13. C 【点拨】根据第三段中“He was a big man，with an iron chain(铁链) on his leg. ”可知，这个人腿上绑着一条铁链，所以此处应是他叫皮普拿一种能砍断铁链的工具。故选 C。
14. B 【点拨】根据全文内容可知，事情发生的顺序是②④①③。故选 B。
15. A 【点拨】根据倒数第三段“‘I promise I'll do it，Sir，’ my body was shaking. ”可推知，皮普回家后会按照那个人的吩咐去做。故选 A。
