“How did Norman know, Sister Emma?”

“He overheard you and Aryan arguing. I suspect that he purposely overheard on you. Norman knew or concluded what profession Aryan practiced. He might well have followed Aryan on his explorations. Whether he did or not is beside the point. When Aryan came back yesterday afternoon, Norman certainly decided that he had made some find, for Aryan told Norman that he would be leaving for the capital to meet the detective the next morning. He probably followed Aryan to your room and overheard what passed between you.

“Since you could not act against the law of man and God, he would serve a natural justice in his own way. He took the jar of poison hemlock from the chemistry shop and when Aryan asked for a drink, he supplied it. Norman did not know the precise quantity needed and so Aryan did not suffer the full effects until after the bell called the community into the dining hall for the evening meal.”

Abbess was following Sister Emma closely.

“And then?”

“Then I began my investigation, and then the detective arrived seeking Aryan for an explanation for his death.”

“But who killed Norman?”

“Norman knew that sooner or later he would be discovered. But more importantly in his guileless (坦率的) mind there was also the guilt of having taken a man’s life to be considered. Norman was a simple man. He decided that he should accept the punishment—the honor-price of a life. What greater honor-price for the life of Aryan could he offer than his own? He also took a draught of poison hemlock.”

There was a pause.

1.What may have happened to Aryan?

A. He was killed by poison.                                              B. He was found missing.

C. He was poisoned but saved.                                       D. He went away with what he had found.

2.What did Abbess do according to Sister Emma when Aryan came back?

A. She talked with Aryan about Norman’s strange actions. .

B. She secretly discussed with Aryan about something secret.

C. She followed the two men and found what they were doing.

D. She let Sister Emma help find out the two men’s secret.

3.What can we conclude from the above story?

A. Abbess served the detective.

B. Emma knows all the people mentioned.

C. Aryan was sent to kill Abbess but failed.

D. Norman seemed very devoted to Abbess.

4.Which of the following might be true according to the above passage?

A. Abbess hired Norman to fight against Aryan.

B. Norman told everything to Emma.

C. Aryan worked for the detective.

D. All the people came from the capital.

 

【答案】

 

1.A

2.B

3.D

4.C

【解析】

試題分析：Abbess遇上了麻煩，他的生活或生命受到了Aryan的威脅，作為他忠誠的家仆或類似關(guān)系的人Norman為主人排除威脅，下毒殺死了Aryan。Norman認(rèn)為他剝奪了一個(gè)人的生命，這本身也是有罪的，因此他選擇自己也服毒自盡來謝罪，以此成全主人。該文應(yīng)該是一篇偵探小說的一個(gè)部分。該節(jié)選的部分是Emma在對(duì)Abbess分析案情。首先要理清人物關(guān)系：Emma偵探；Norman和Aryan兩個(gè)死者，Abbess與兩死者間有著某種關(guān)系。

1.A推理判斷題。從文章第三段He took the jar of poison hemlock from the chemistry shop and when Aryan asked for a drink, he supplied it.可以知道，Norman從藥店買回了毒藥并且給Aryan下了毒，再從下文the detective arrived seeking Aryan for an explanation for his death.可以知道Aryan已經(jīng)死了，偵探來查他的死因了。

2.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)題中when Aryan came back到文中去找相關(guān)信息。第二段When Aryan came back yesterday afternoon, Norman certainly decided that he had made some find, for Aryan told Norman that he would be leaving for the capital to meet the detective the next morning. He probably

followed Aryan to your room and overheard what passed between you.由此處可以知道，Aryan昨天下午

回來后告訴Norman，說他第二天要去省城見偵探，后來Aryan去了Abbess的房間，并且兩人說了

一些什么事，而此時(shí)Norman在外偷聽到了他們的談話。再根據(jù)下面一段里Norman做出的反應(yīng)：

①他認(rèn)為Abbess不會(huì)做違法或違背上帝旨意的事。②他要以他的方式來充當(dāng)一回正義使者。然后

他給Aryan投毒了。由此判斷Aryan在房間對(duì)Abbess說的話是對(duì)Abbess不利的話。而同時(shí)也可以

推知Norman忠誠于Abbess，他才會(huì)去殺死對(duì)Abbess構(gòu)成嚴(yán)重威脅的人。此題根據(jù)Abbess當(dāng)時(shí)在

房間里就可直接排除C、D兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)。再根據(jù)上面的推理，結(jié)合A、B兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思，可以知道

正確答案應(yīng)該是B。

3.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)上題的分析可知。根據(jù)第三段里Norman做出的反應(yīng)：①他認(rèn)為Abbess

不會(huì)做違法或違背上帝旨意的事。②他要以他的方式來充當(dāng)一回正義使者。然后他給Aryan投毒了。

由此判斷Aryan在房間對(duì)Abbess說的話是對(duì)Abbess不利的話。而同時(shí)也可以推知Norman忠誠于

Abbess，他才會(huì)去殺死對(duì)Abbess構(gòu)成嚴(yán)重威脅的人。

4.C推理判斷題。此題必須認(rèn)真研讀每一個(gè)選項(xiàng)，逐個(gè)篩選。A從文中Abbess在認(rèn)真聽Emma分析Norman和Aryan的死因可以知道，他沒有雇傭Norman去斗Aryan。B從文中可知Aryan死后，Emma作為偵探才介入調(diào)查的。因此，B錯(cuò)。C從文中第二段Aryan told Norman that he would be leaving for the capital to meet the detective the next morning. 他第二天早上要去見省城的那個(gè)警察，可以判斷他可能是為那個(gè)警察服務(wù)的。再根據(jù)D答案所講的內(nèi)容在文中根本找不到依據(jù)可以判斷C就是正確答案。

When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was badly crippled (跛腳), and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare, I would be ashamed of the unwanted attention. If ever noticed or bothered, he never let on.

It was difficult to walk together—and because of that, we didn’t say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”

Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he got to work. He went to work sick, and even in bad weather. He almost never missed a day, and would make it to the office even if others could not. It was a matter of pride for him.

When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help... Such times my sister or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn, N.Y., on a child’s sleigh to the subway entrance. Once there, he would try to grasp handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice free. In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building, and he would not have to go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.  

When I think of it now, I am surprised at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to suffer from shame and disability. And I am also surprised at how he did it—without bitterness or complaint.

He never talked about himself as an object of pity, not did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.

Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don’t know exactly what a “good heart” is. But I know the times I don’t have one myself.

He has been away for many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about my troubles, when I am envious of another’s good fortune, when I don’t have a “good heart”.

How did the man treat his father when he was young?

A. He helped his father happily.

B. He never helped his father.

C. He helped his father, but not very happily.

D. He only helped his father take a walk after supper.

As a disabled man, his father____.

A. didn’t work very hard

B. didn’t go to work from time to time

C. hated those who had good fortune

D. was happy and satisfied, and never lost hope

What does the underlined word “reluctance” mean in the article? It means ____.

A. anger                     B. sadness            C. happiness                D. unwillingness

How did the father get to work usually?

A. By subway.              B. By bus.            C. By wheelchair.         D. By bike.

They were going to Fort Lauderdale — three boys and three girls — and when they boarded the bus, they were carrying sandwiches and wine in paper bags, dreaming of golden beaches and sea tides as the gray, cold spring of New York went behind them.

As the bus passed through New Jersey, they began to notice Vingo. He sat in front of them, completely in silence.

Deep into the night, outside Washington, the bus pulled into Howard Johnson’s, and everybody got off except Vingo. The young people began to wonder about him. When they went back to the bus, one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself.

    “Want some wine?” she said. He smiled and took a swig from the bottle. He thanked her and became silent again. After a while, she went back to the others, and Vingo nodded in sleep.

In the morning, they awoke outside another Howard Johnson’s, and this time Vingo went in. The girl insisted that he join them. He ordered black coffee and some cookies as the young people talked about sleeping on beaches. When they returned to the bus, the girl sat with Vingo again, and after a while, slowly and painfully, he began to tell his story. He had been in prison in New York for the past four years, and now he was going home.

“Are you married?”

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?” she said.

“Well, when I was in prison I wrote to my wife,” he said, “I told her that I was going to be away for a long time, and that if she couldn’t stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, and if it hurt her too much, well, she could jus forget me. I’d understand. Get a new man, I said — she’s a wonderful woman. I told her she didn’t have to write me. And she didn’t. Not for three and a half years.”

“And you’re going home now, not knowing?”

“Yeah. Well, last week, when I was sure the parole (假釋) was coming through, I wrote her again. We used to live in Brunswick, just before Jacksonville, and there’s a big oak (橡樹) just as you come into town. I told her that if she didn’t have a new man and if she’d take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and I’d get off and come home. If she didn’t want me, forget it — no handkerchief and I’d go on through.”

“Wow,” the girl exclaimed, “Wow.”

She told the others, and soon all of them were in it, looking at the pictures Vingo showed them of his wife and three children.

Now they were 20 miles from Brunswick, and the young people took over window seats on the right side, waiting for the approach of the great oak. Vingo stopped looking, tightening his face, as if protecting himself against still another disappointment.

Then Brunswick was ten miles, and then five. Then, suddenly, all of the young people were up out of their seats, shouting and crying.

Vingo sat there astonished, looking at the oak. It was covered with yellow handkerchiefs — 20 of them, 30 of them, maybe hundreds, flying in the wind. As the young people shouted, Vingo slowly rose from his seat and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.

1.At the beginning of the story, the young boys and girls ______.

A. showed a great interest in Vingo     B. didn’t notice Vingo at all

C. wanted to offer help to Vingo        D. didn’t like Vingo at all

2.The underlined part “Howard Johnson’s” is most probably a(n) ______.

A. bus station  B. apartment      C. hospital   D. restaurant

3.How did Vingo feel on the way home?

A. Ashamed.     B. Relaxed.     C. Nervous.     D. Disappointed.

4.The paragraphs following this passage would most probably talk about ______.

A. Vingo’s experience in prison

B. the young people’s travel to Fort Lauderdale

C. Vingo’s three lovely children

D. the dialogue between Vingo and his family
