Question

“It was said she was married to an officer in India long ago and she had a life of physical adventure as exciting as her poetry.Her husband could cross rivers,using crocodiles(鱷魚) as stepping stones.He died when she was only thirty-nine.Unwilling to exist without him,she took her life,leaving a son in England.”

I stared at the paper,  26  reading,and I couldn’t help thinking.

They say,crocodiles are lazy animals as a rule,but they can  27  like lightning when they want to.And they don’t mind hurrying  28  they’re hungry.There used to be lots in Indianrivers,living on fish mostly;but what’s a little fish  29  a fifteen-foot crocodile?They ate people,fisherman or anyone else delicious enough to get too near;women doing the  30  ,or children playing at the water’s  31  .A hungry crocodile’s mouth  32  over a meal with a sound like a gunshot.A big fellow can  33  in a man in two bites.

That woman’s husband crossed rivers  34  from one crocodile’s back to the next.I believe it.It had to be done  35  before the creature could see what was happening.It wasn’t  36  a brave,active man;and no doubt he improved with practice.He could never look  37  while crossing.

The wife used to watch him—I felt  38  of that.She lived  39  the adventure the  40  excitement of it all.Their real life was with tigers,snakes....It’s no wonder she wrote  41  poetry.

Then he  42  .I imagined how she felt.Was there another man  43  him in India,in the world?She was still young,hardly a sitting-room widow(寡婦).“I must  44  ,too,”she said to herself.So she did what she felt she had to do.A  45  probably,to her head.

But her young son,their son?Was her love for him nothing compared to her husband?Well,what do you think?

解析:

26. 文章第一段是作者正在讀的內(nèi)容，在這兒，他應(yīng)該停下讀書，禁不住思考起來(lái)。

27. 鱷魚只能移動(dòng)，不能跑或走。

28. 句意：無(wú)論什么時(shí)候他們餓了，就會(huì)快速地移動(dòng)。

29. for表示“對(duì)于……來(lái)說(shuō)”。

30 一般常識(shí)題。婦女常常在河邊洗衣服。

32. shut指把嘴合上吃東西。

33. take in a man 吃進(jìn)一個(gè)人去。

39. lived for 為……而生活。

40. 這句是一個(gè)夸張的說(shuō)法。她的生活就是為了冒險(xiǎn)，尋找冒險(xiǎn)中的會(huì)致命的刺激。

41. 她之所以喜歡冒險(xiǎn)，尋求刺激，是為了寫出令人興奮的詩(shī)。

42. 與第一段相對(duì)應(yīng)。

43. 在印度還有沒有一個(gè)像他一樣的人呢?
