It seemed that his route to the desired Island was

32、 not to be an enjoyable one. Some other way of entering limbo must be thought of.At a corner of Sixth Avenue electric lights and cunningly displayed wares behind plateglass made a shop window bright. Soapy took a stone and threw it through the glass. People came running round the corner, a policeman

33、 in the lead. Soapy stood still, with his hands in his pockets, and smiled at the sight of brass buttons.“Wheres the man that has done that？” asked the officer excitedly.“Dont you figure out that I might have had something to do with it？” said Soapy, not without hatred, but friendly, as one greets g

34、ood fortune.The policemans mind refused to accept Soapy even as a suspect. Men who break windows do not remain to talk with the law protector. They take to their heels. The policeman saw a man halfway down the block running to catch a car. With drawn club he joined in the chasing. Soapy, with anger

35、in his heart, wandered along, twice unsuccessful.On the opposite side of the street was a restaurant of popular styles. It provided food to large appetites and modern purses. Its plates and atmosphere were thick; its soup and napkin thin. Into this place Soapy took his muddy shoes and telltale trous

36、ers without challenge.At the table he sat and enjoyed beefsteak, flapjacks, doughnuts and pie. And then to the waiter he betrayed the face that_the_minutest_coin_and_himself_were_strangers.“Now, get busy and call a cop，” said Soapy. “And dont keep a gentleman waiting.”“No cop for you，” said the wait

37、er, with a voice like butter cakes and an eye like the cherry in a Manhattan cocktail, “Hey, Con！”Nearly upon his left ear on the senseless pavement two waiters threw Soapy. He arose, joint by joint, as a carpenters rule opens, and beat the dust from his clothes. Arrest seemed but a rosy dream. The

38、Island seemed very far away. A policeman who stood before a drug store two doors away laughed and walked down the street.5What did the word “Island” in the passage refer to?A. A very pleasant hotel in Broadway.B. One of the cities in America.C. A place where lawbreakers were sent to.D. A shop at the

39、 corner of the Sixth Avenue.6Why did Soapy stand still outside the shop window?A. He was waiting to be arrested.B. He wanted to help the policeman.C. He intended to play a joke with the policeman.D. He was watching the policeman chasing the man who ran to catch a car.7What did the underlined words i

40、n Paragraph 6 mean?A. The man had never seen the waiter before.B. The man was penniless.C. The man was a stranger to the city.D. The coin was not real so that the waiter refused to accept it.8Why did Soapy go into the restaurant?A. He was very hungry.B. He wanted to have a dinner with someone.C. He

41、wanted to draw the policemans attention by having dinner without pay.D. The restaurant was cheap and he had not much money.答案本文是美國著名短篇小說家OHenry的著名短篇小說警察與贊美詩的一段節(jié)選，講述了主人公一個名叫蘇菲的人，整天無所事事，一心想進監(jiān)獄，而屢次失敗的經(jīng)歷。5C。詞義推斷題。依據(jù)第一個事例：蘇菲砸碎了一家商店的玻璃，當著警察的面說是自己干的，并讓警察將他帶走，可知他想去的地方是監(jiān)獄，也就是違法的人被送去的地方。文章最后一段提到的“Arrest seeme

42、d but a rosy dream. The Island seemed very far away.”也是暗示，故C項正確。6A。推理判斷題。由文章可以看出，商店的玻璃是Soapy自己砸的，可知B、C兩項錯誤；而D項看警察追捕趕車的人也不符合他的心理，而且正是那個人使他的計劃泡湯的，因此D項也不對。7B。句意判斷題。依據(jù)下文的Now, get busy and call a cop可知，Soapy讓服務員找警察，很明顯是在說自己身無分文，而且后文還提及他因此被揍了一頓。8C。推理判斷題。由文章最后一段的最后三句內容可以知道，他之所以去餐館大吃一通，就是想因不付賬而引起警察的注意。*結束 T

43、he Golden Gate Bridgethe iconic gateway to San Francisco Bayhas experienced 70 years of rain and shine. A wonder of engineering, it is also sadly a site where people commit suicide by throwing themselves off its heights.At the entrance of the Golden Gate strait, where the Pacific Ocean meets the San

44、 Francisco Bay, sits the Golden Gate Bridge. Stretching across the strait for more than 2,700 meters, the bridge connects San Francisco and Marin County. It was built between 1933 and 1937, when it was the longest suspension span ever built. Today its ranked about seven or eight. The main span, whic

45、h is the span between the towers, was 4,200 feet (1,280 meters), making it the longest bridge ever built at its time.San Franciscos residents love their citys worldfamous landmark. Resident Peter Richards says, “The bridge is iconic, obviously. Its something that identifies San Francisco as a place,

46、 and as a city on the Pacific Rim. For me, its very important. I look for it when I am trying to locate myself in the city.”Yet for Nancy Langhofer, another resident, the bridge means something entirely different. “This bridge is a cursed thing to me; it is a tragic symbol.” Since its completion in

47、1937, some 1,200 people have jumped to their deaths, giving the bridge a notoriety as a site for suicides. Film director Eric Steel made a documentary about the Golden Gate suicides. In the 2006 film, called “The Bridge”， his cameras captured 23 of the 24 suicides in 2004.Nancy Langhofer wants measu

48、res taken to prevent people from jumping off the bridge. “I am giving postcards to people. It says: demand a suicide barrier. Its been a longtime argument here in San Francisco about whether or not to fix a suicide barrier on the bridge and a friend of mine committed suicide in 2004. It is really to

49、o easy for people to climb over the railing.”The Board of Directors of the Golden Gate Bridge began exploring the possibility of building a barrier two years ago, but not everyone is in favor of the idea.One resident, Diana, commented, “I dont think building a barrier to prevent that is going to hel

50、p a lot. Its just going to make it uglier. Then people who are trying to jump over are just going to find other places.”Another person, Jonathan, when asked if he thought barriers should be built, said, “I personally do not. I think it will destroy the view, it will destroy the experience of walking across the bridge.”But Nancy Langhofer replies, “There is a bridge in Canada that I know of; it has high
