Question

6．Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud，slowly，his tone growing sadder and sadder．The little headline said：BOXER RECEIVES LIFE SENTENCE．
Frank Cleary，aged 26，professional boxer，was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Cumming，aged 32，laborer，last July．The jury （陪审团） reached its decision after only ten minutes，recommending the most severe punishment the court could give out．It was，said the judge，a simple case．Cumming an d Cleary had quar reled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and the police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Cumming．When arrested Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking…
Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour．Asked if he had anything to say，Cleary answered，"Just don't tell my mother．"
"It happened over three years ago，"Paddy said helplessly．No one answered him or moved，for no one knew what to do．"Just don't tell my mother，"said Fee numbly．"And no one did!Oh，God!My poor，poor Frank!"
Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said．"Fee dear，pack your things．We'll go to see him．"
    She half-rose before sinking back，her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead．"I can't go，"she said without a hint of pain，yet making everyone feel that the pain was there．"It would kill him to see me．I know him so well-his pride，his ambition．Let him bear the shame alone，it's what he wants．We've got to help him keep his secret．What good will it do him to see us？"
    Paddy was still weeping，but not for Frank，for the life which had gone from Fee's face，for the dying in her eyes．Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune，always stood between Fee and himself．He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children．
    Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee，Frank took it away．But Paddy's love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank．
So he said，"Well，Fee，we won't go．But we must make sure he is taken care of．How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank？"
The eyes didn't liven，but a faint pink stole into her cheeks．"Yes，Paddy，do that．Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out．Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don't know．"
 
20．Which of the following is true according to the passage？B
A．Frank was found guilty of murder because he was a professional boxer．
B．The family didn't find out what happened to Frank until three years later．
C．The jury and the judge disagreed on whether Frank had committed murder．

B．"Let him bear the shame alone，it's what he wants．"
C．"Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee，Frank took it away．"

Answer 1

分析 本文讲述了Frank是个职业拳击手，所以他被发现犯有谋杀罪，直到三年后家人才弄清一切．

解答 20．B：细节题．A项"因为 Frank 是个职业拳击手，所以他被发现犯有谋杀罪"，并无因果关系，故此项错误．B项，"直到三年后家人才弄清 Frank 身上发生了什么"，由第三段第一句"It happened over three years ago"及第三段倒数第二句"And no one did!"可知，没有人告诉 Frank 的家人他发生了什么，故此项正确．C项，"陪审团和法官对 Frank 是否犯谋杀罪有争议"，由第二段第二句"The jury reached its decision after only ten minutes，recommending the most severe punishment to the court．It was，said the judge，a simple case．"可知，陪审团和法官并无异议，故此项错误．D项，"Frank 不想让家人弄清发生了什么，因为 Paddy 不喜欢他"，文章中并未提及 Paddy 不想让家人弄清发生了什么，故此项错误．故正确答案为B．
21：C细节题．由第六段第一句"Paddy was still weeping，not for Frank，but for the life which had gone from Fee's face，for the dying in her eyes．"可知，Paddy 是因为 Fee 才哭泣的，他觉得发生在 Frank 身上的事让 Fee 承受巨大的痛苦．故正确答案为C．
22．A：推断题．A项，"她脸色苍白，眼睛发直，如同死了一般"；B项，"让他独自承受羞耻，这就是他想要的"；C项，"当 Fee 生活中出现一点点的快乐时，Frank 就把它夺走"；D项，"眼睛没有活跃起来，但一丝淡淡的红晕飞上她的面颊"．结合文意，只有A项是 Fee 听说发生在 Frank 身上的事之后感到震惊的样子，故正确答案为A．
23：D推断题．A项，"Fee 是如此的伤心以至于她几乎没办法站起来"；B项，"Fee 不想因为去看望 Frank 而让 Paddy 伤心"；C项，"Fee 不能离开她的家庭去看望 Frank"；D项，"Fee 在看望 Frank 与尊重他的愿望之间挣扎"．划线句原意为"她半站半蹲之后又重重坐下，她脸色苍白，两眼发直，如同死了一般"，结合划线句后关于是否去看望 Frank 的一系列考虑，此处 Fee"半蹲半站又重重地坐下"的动作正展现了她关于是否去看望 Frank 的心理挣扎，故正确答案为D．
