题型:不详难度:来源:

At two o’clock a bank robber stole in. “This is a hold-up,” the man said loudly. He took a gun from under his jacket, pointing to George. “Hand it over!” George reached into his money-box and took all the bills from the top part --- close to six thousand dollars. The robber took them and turned to leave. Then, while everyone watched the robber, George calmly lifted the top part of the money-box, took bills from the bottom part and put them into his own pocket secretly. The door was shut and the bank robber was gone. George fainted(晕倒). As soon as he was safely behind his bedroom door, George counted the money. He had eight thousand dollars. He was very happy.
The next morning, while the others were checking the bank’s records, George was asked to go to Mr. Burrow’s office and was introduced to Mr. Carruthers, who used to be president of the bank.
  “Good morning, George, I was sorry to give you a hard time yesterday, but with all the banks being robbed these days I thought it would be a good idea to prove that our small bank can be robbed, too. I have retired (退休), but I am always thinking of our bank. That’s why I played my little game yesterday, just to keep everyone on his toes(趾). Now, I have put the money back in your money-box all six thousand.”

解析

试题分析:通过阅读短文我们可以知道乔治在劫匪抢劫的同时,也把一部分钱塞进了自己的口袋。结果第二天假扮劫匪的银行前总裁来还钱,并说明了自己假扮劫匪的目的是什么。让乔治的小把戏漏了馅儿。
小题1:通过阅读短文可知没有知道在那天银行会被抢劫,故选D。
小题2:通过第三段描述可知卡拉瑟斯先生是来解释那天的事情的,故选C。
小题3:通过卡拉瑟斯先生的行为结合他的谈话,可知他这么做的动机就是想提醒人们注意,就是小银行也会遭到抢劫,故最佳答案为D,让人们时刻准备着来临的危险。
小题4:通过短文描述可以知道卡拉瑟斯先生归还了6000美元,但是只要对比银行的账目就会发现还少了乔治拿走的那部分,因此对于此时的乔治来说,应该是害怕,故选A。
点评:本文几个小题出的很有水平,和短文既紧密相连又不能直接找出答案,必须在弄懂全文后才能推理出来。所以答题前必须要认真阅读短文,弄清题意,根据相关信息认真分析。

People say that George Washington, the first president of the United States, never told a lie. But it seems that the president was not without faults.
A New York library recently found that Washington borrowed two books from the library in 1789. He didn’t return them.
If he were still alive, he would have to pay the library $300,000 for being 220 years late.
On October 5, 1789, when the first president borrowed the books form the New York Society Library, he didn’t sign his name in the borrower’s book. He just wrote “president” to show who had taken them out.

The New York Society Library doesn’t expect anyone to pay the fine. But it hopes that someone will return the books.

If their answer suggests they serve only own fames, they may be famous persons but not heroes.
A hero has a vision from the mountain top .He has the power to move people . He creates new possibility. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of Britain, Without Martin Luther King .Jr, Americans might take different parks , and shop in different stores of the different colors of their skins.
