“Now, get busy and call a cop,”said Soapy.“And don't keep a gentleman waiting.”
“No cop for you,”said the waiter,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 carpenter's rule opens, and beat the dust from his clothes. Arrest seemed but a rosy dream. The Island seemed very far away. A policeman who stood before a drug store two doors away laughed and walked down the street.
1. What 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 law-breakers were sent to.
D. A shop at the corner of the Sixth Avenue.
答案解析:答案为C。本题为词义猜测题。该词实则是全文的灵魂词,对该词的准确猜测建立在读懂全文故事的基础之上。第一段中Soapy所理想的“Island”是个什么地方?通过读后面的故事可知,他故意打破商店的玻璃,故意到餐馆大吃一顿不付钱都是为了被警察抓住,但是警察都没抓他,最后一段写到 “Arrest seemed but a rosy dream. The Island seemed very far away. A policeman who stood before a drug store two doors away laughed and walked down the street.” 逮捕似乎只是个美好的梦想,Island似乎非常遥远,站在药店前的一个警察笑着走了。因此可以推断,Soapy想去的地方就是监狱,故C选项是对“Island”的准确解释。
