1.Whatdidtheword“Island”inthepassagereferto?
A.AverypleasanthotelinBroadway.
B.OneofthecitiesinAmerica.
C.Aplacewherelaw-breakersweresentto.
D.AshopatthecorneroftheSixthAvenue.
答案解析:
答案为C。
本题为词义猜测题。
该词实则是全文的灵魂词,对该词的准确猜测建立在读懂全文故事的基础之上。
第一段中Soapy所理想的“Island”是个什么地方?
通过读后面的故事可知,他故意打破商店的玻璃,故意到餐馆大吃一顿不付钱都是为了被警察抓住,但是警察都没抓他,最后一段写到“Arrestseemedbutarosydream.TheIslandseemedveryfaraway.Apolicemanwhostoodbeforeadrugstoretwodoorsawaylaughedandwalkeddownthestreet.”逮捕似乎只是个美好的梦想,Island似乎非常遥远,站在药店前的一个警察笑着走了。
因此可以推断,Soapy想去的地方就是监狱,故C选项是对“Island”的准确解释。
2.WhydidSoapystandstilloutsidetheshopwindow?
A.Hewaswaitingtobearrested.
B.Hewantedtohelpthepoliceman.
C.Heintendedtoplayajokewiththepoliceman.
D.Hewaswatchingthepolicemanchasingthemanwhorantocatchacar.
答案解析:
答案为A。
本题为细节推理题。
由第三、四段的内容可知,他打破玻璃后站在窗户外,警察问是谁干的,他对警察说“你们没看到是我干的吗?
”,他希望被警察抓住,故答案为A。
3.WhatdidtheunderlinedwordsinParagraph6mean?
A.Themanhadneverseenthewaiterbefore.
B.Themanwaspenniless.
C.Themanwasastrangertothecity.
D.Thecoinwasnotrealsothatthewaiterrefusedtoacceptit.
答案解析:
答案为B。
本题为句意理解题。
本题可用排除法。
结合划线部分的后文第七段Soapy对服务员说的话“Now,getbusyandcallacop,”他让服务员叫警察抓他,因此A、C、D选项都不是划线部分的深层含义。
只有B选项“这个人身无分文”最符合文意。
4.WhydidSoapygointotherestaurant?
A.Hewasveryhungry.
B.Hewantedtohaveadinnerwithsomeone.
C.Hewantedtodrawthepoliceman'sattentionbyhavingdinnerwithoutpay.
D.Therestaurantwascheapandhehadnotmuchmoney.
答案解析:
答案为C。
结合前面几题的分析可知,他去餐馆白吃就是希望警察抓他。
故答案为C。
