　　训练(四十二)

　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　A

　　While we are on the subject of crime，our listener question this week comes from Mohamad Firouzi in Iran.He wants to know about the history of Alcatraz Island and the prison that once operated there.

　　Alcatraz Island is in the harbor of San Francisco，California.It is best known for being a federal prison，which was also called “The Rock.” It was once the most famous prison in America.

　　Alcatraz was a military prison from the late eighteen fifties until the nineteen thirties.Then it became a federal prison for the country’s worst criminals.These included murderers，bank robbers and kidnappers.One of the main reasons federal officials chose Alcatraz Island to detain these prisoners was because they thought it would be impossible for prisoners to escape.

　　Cold，deep and dangerous waters surround the island.Also，the distance between the island and San Francisco is too far for most humans to swim.No prisoner was ever officially reported to have successfully escaped.

　　However，in nineteen sixty­two，three men broke out of the prison.Each man worked very hard at night for many months to cut through the stone wall of his cell.They made false heads out of paper，paint and hair.On the night of June eleventh，the men placed the heads in their beds to make it look as if they were sleeping.Then，the prisoners escaped through the holes in their cells to get to the water.The men were never seen or heard from again.It is believed that they drowned while trying to swim to San Francisco.

　　The prison closed in nineteen sixty­three because of the high cost of keeping prisoners there and the need for major repairs.The last prisoners were moved to other jails.

　　In nineteen seventy­two，the United States Congress passed a bill creating the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.Alcatraz Island and the old prison are part of this area.

　　Each year，more than one million people visit Alcatraz to see the prisoners’ cells and listen to stories about the jail’s history.But unlike the prisoners who once lived there，visitors can escape from the prison whenever they want and return back across the harbor to San Francisco.

　　famous writer in this country.He's going to share with us his writing experiences.Now，Henry，please tell us 2.

　　call the police.Just then，I saw 10.

　　say goodbye to each other.And the woman walked away.Well，sometimes I make mistakes，but I find things like that very useful for my writing.

　　答案：

　　1．a。考查冠词。本部分属于同位语，来说明Henry Stone先生的身份，意为“一位著名的作家”，表泛指。故填a。

　　2．how。考查从属连词。根据语境，以及下文Henry的回答可知，此处指方式。故填how。

　　3．have been。考查动词的时态。根据语境可知，此处表示“曾去过”的意思，应用现在完成时。故填been。

　　4．waiting。考查省略。根据句子结构可知，本句属于主从句的省略：当主从句主语一致并且从句中有be动词时，常将从句中的主语和be动词省略，由此可知，此句补充完整应为“While I am waiting for my flights”。故填waiting。

　　5．imagination。考查名词。根据空格前的形容词性物主代词“my”可知，此处需用名词。故填imagination。

　　6．who。考查定语从句。根据句子结构可知，本句话属于非限制性定语从句，先行词是a couple，并且在从句中作主语。故填who。

　　7．of/about。考查介词。“remind sb.of(about)sth.”是固定短语，意为“让某人想起……”。故填of/about。

　　8．stole/had stolen。考查动词时态。根据时间状语“a week before”可知，此处用一般过去时“stole”，表示报纸上报道的一件过去发生的事；再根据and后面的disappeared也可判断出动作发生的前后顺序，故had stolen亦可。

　　9．should。考查情态动词。此处指责任和义务，意为“应该”。故填should。

　　10．them。考查代词。根据所描述故事场景以及下文“And the woman walked away.”可知，他看见这两个人互相道别了。故填them。
