Question

【题目】

Lois Gibson will never forget that day. One evening nearly 40 years ago, a man broke into her house. He asked Gibson to give him all her money. After Gibson refused, the man almost put her to death. Luckily, Gibson was released at last. She was too afraid to call the police. The second day while driving, Gibson turned onto a wrong street. There, she happened to see the man being caught. Suddenly, Gibson saw a reason to return to school and learn more about art.

Four years later, Gibson became a forensic artist（罪犯素描师）. Now 65, she has had an excellent job. Over the past 33 years, the artist has drawn thousands of suspects（嫌疑犯）. About 30 percent of these drawings are helpful. No one in the world has done better.

Gibson still remembers the first time she tried to draw a suspect. She talked to a young man who had seen a killer. The man was too excited and Gibson couldn’t finish her drawing. The suspect looked like he was eating a lemon. However, just a day later, a policeman told Gibson that her drawing had helped solve the case. “I thought, if that terrible drawing stopped a bad guy—like the man who tried to kill me—I’m never going to stop,” Gibson says.

There is never a day that goes by when Gibson isn’t drawing a suspect. The artist says she wants to help those people feel better about something they are never going to forget. “When they see the drawing, they see hope for justice（正义）,” she says.

Some of Gibson’s friends expect her to create the beautiful, just like other artists. She doesn’t. Why? “You’ll lose yourself if you catch one suspect,” she says. “You want to get another.”

【解析】

文章大意：本文主要记叙了Lois Gibson成为罪犯素描师的过程，以及他对破案做出的贡献。

【1】主旨大意题。文章第一段主要记叙了Lois Gibson在被抢劫后，产生了成为罪犯素描师的想法。故答案为A。

【2】推理判断题。根据文中She was too afraid to call the police. The second day while driving, Gibson turned onto a wrong street.她太害怕了不能给警察打电话。第二天开车的时候，Gibson拐错了路推测出在前一天的最后她被释放了。所以句中下划线单词was released的汉语意思是“被释放”。故答案为C。

【3】细节理解题。根据文中However, just a day later, a policeman told Gibson that her drawing had helped solve the case.一天以后，警察告诉他他的画帮忙破了案可知。故答案为B。

【4】细节理解题。根据文中“When they see the drawing, they see hope for justice（正义）,” she says.她说：“当他们看到画时，他们就看到了正义的希望”可知，所以从这段话中可以推断出给罪犯画画是为了正义抓住他们。故答案为C。
