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.答案本文是美国著名短篇小说家OHenry的著名短篇小说警察与赞美诗的一段节选，讲述了主人公一个名叫苏菲的人，整天无所事事，一心想进监狱，而屡次失败的经历。5C。词义推断题。依据第一个事例：苏菲砸碎了一家商店的玻璃，当着警察的面说是自己干的，并让警察将他带走，可知他想去的地方是监狱，也就是违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项正确。6A。推理判断题。由文章可以看出，商店的玻璃是Soapy自己砸的，可知B、C两项错误；而D项看警察追捕赶车的人也不符合他的心理，而且正是那个人使他的计划泡汤的，因此D项也不对。7B。句意判断题。依据下文的Now, get busy and call a cop可知，Soapy让服务员找警察，很明显是在说自己身无分文，而且后文还提及他因此被揍了一顿。8C。推理判断题。由文章最后一段的最后三句内容可以知道，他之所以去餐馆大吃一通，就是想因不付账而引起警察的注意。*结束 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
51、 across the bridge.”But Nancy Langhofer replies, “There is a bridge in Canada that I know of; it has high incidents of suicides. They put up a fence or some kind. Why not do it here? Its been here since 1937. Its time.”Upon completion of the bridge, the chief engineer for the project, Joseph Strauss
52、, wrote a poem called, “The Mighty Task is Done.” But it may be that more will be done to this monumental structure, 70 years after it was built.5The passage mainly talks about _.A. whether the Golden Gate Bridge should be fenced to prevent the suicideB. whether the Golden Gate Bridge should be barr
53、ed for the sake of the travelersC. whether the completion of the Golden Gate Bridge has been completeD. whether the Golden Gate Bridge should be built 70 years ago6The underlined word “notoriety” in the 4th paragraph is closest in meaning to _.A. a new image B. a new recordC. a bad name D. a complet
54、e honor7According to Nancy Langhofer, so many people commit suicide in the Golden Gate Bridge probably because _.A. the scenery there is so beautifulB. it is easy to climb over the railingC. the bridge is so mysterious thereD. there are many people walking back and forth8Which of the following does
55、NOT refer to the Golden Gate Bridge?A. The citys mostfamous landmark.B. The monumental structure.C. The iconic gateway to San Francisco Bay.D. The suicide barrier.答案金门大桥承载着辉煌走过了70年的风雨历程，它的设计与修建体现了人类的巨大智慧，它给当地人带来了方便和自豪；同时，随着越来越多的人在桥上自杀，它也给人们带来了悲伤。本文围绕着是否应该在桥上建防自杀围栏进行了辩论，大家对此观点不一。5A。主旨大意题。本文大量的笔墨用在是否要在大桥上建防自杀围栏上。6C。文中第四段的句子“Since its completion in 1937, some 1,200 people have jumped to their deaths, giving the bridge a notoriety as a site for suicides.”说的是发生在桥上的不好的事情，由此推知是“恶名”的意思。7B。根据第五段的第一句和最后一句可知：很多人在金门大桥上自杀很可能是因为人很容易翻越桥上的护栏。8D。通读全文，A、B、C三项都是指金门大桥，而D项是人们争论的焦点，现在还并没有建自杀防护栏。*结束
