名师点评
这是一个黑色幽默,饥寒交迫的老妇,万般无奈,只好求助于上帝,帮助她的不是上帝而是警察,可警察在人们心中的印象却是凡被警察碰过的只有一半被留下,可悲!
1. C。被派去打仗了,要用被动语态。
2. A。于是,老人总为自己的衣、食而担心。C很具有迷惑性。但它的意思指考虑,没有A准确。
3. B。第二天,他被发现死在冰冷的湖里。
4. D。他的衣服被挂在树上。hang hanged hanged 此时的hang 作绞死讲,hang hung hung 意为悬挂。
5. A。儿子死了,丈夫没有了,此时她的心情唯有sad来描述。
6. B。从but可知政府没有帮助她。fail没成功。
7. B。fall asleep 固定短语,入睡。
8. D。她需要食物,衣服,但不可以选A,B,C,而D的外延最广,她需要帮助。
9. C。finish writing 写完信。
10. A。发现自己没有邮票。从常识不难推断。
11. B。上文所提及的那封信。
12. C。这是一个巧合,当然对于老妇来说更是一种幸运。所以其他选项不符合意思。
13. B。警察们被信的内容所感动。其他选项都不是他们看信后的心情。
14. D。开始老人看到钱,当然很高兴,但开始数钱时,她不是这样想了。
15. A。她认为警察把她的钱也给拿走了一半,所以生气。
