Question

阅读理解 　　George Markov was a famous writer in Bulgaria．In 1969, he suspected that he was going to be put into prison or killed because one of his plays was regarded as being an attack on the leaders of Bulgaria．Markov managed to reach England and got a job with the BBC, preparing broadcast in Bulgarian． 　　Some of the BBC broadcasts were critical of life in Bulgaria．Perhaps as a result of this, Markov received an anonymous telephone call warning him that he would be killed．In September 1978, Markov stopped his car in London and started to walk to his office．When he was passing a bus line, a man in the line appeared to drop his umbrella．Markov felt a sudden pain in the leg． 　　When Markov reached his office, he spoke about the accident to a friend．A few hours later, he began to feel ill．He was sent to hospital and died four days later．The doctor examined his body, and they were puzzled about the cause of his death．Scientists were asked to help and they found a tiny metal pellet in Markov’s leg．There were two tiny holes in the pellet, and scientists believed that there had been an unknown poison in them． 　　A few weeks before Markov was “shot” with poisonous pellet fired from an umbrella, another Bulgarian had the same experience in France．Towards the end of August 178, Kostov felt a sharp pain in the back when he was leaving a railway station in Paris．He was ill for a few weeks but became well．When the news of Markov’s death became known, Kostov was asked to return to hospital for examination．Doctors found a tiny pellet in his back, but it had stuck in an area which the poison had not been able to spread． 　　The police in both countries are still searching for the reasons why both men were attacked．They hoped to catch their attackers． (1) In the passage we were NOT told that Markov ________． [　　] A． once lived in Bulgaria B． worked for the BBC C． was attacked by somebody D． visited France (2) The cause of Markov’s death was that ________． [　　] A． he was working for the BBC B． he was hated by Londoners C． he made up stories when broadcasting D． he once wrote something to attack Bulgarian leaders (3) As far as we can tell from the passage, Markov’s suspicions proved to be ________． [　　] A． correct B． incorrect C． unfounded D． unreasonable

Answer 1

答案：1．D;2．D;3．A;
解析：

(1)	从第一段我们得知Markov是保加利亚的著名作家，1969年到了英国在BBC供职，接下来文章讲的是他受袭击的事。
(2)	Markov脱离保加利亚的原因就是因为他的一部戏剧被认为攻击了保加利亚的领导人，而这也成为他被毒杀的原因。
(3)	从自己怀疑会被监禁甚至杀害到最后被毒杀，可见Markov的怀疑是对的。
