第二篇
Lawrence Curry
When I tell people my name,they always ask me if I'm related to Lawrence Curry,the novelist,and when I say,yes,he was my great-uncle,they always want to know what he was like. "We've read all his books,"they say,"but please tell us what he was really like."When I described him,as I knew him,they go disappointed.It seems that they find it difficult to accept such a great figure could have had such an ordinary character.
My great-uncle was tall,with a long thin body.When he walked,he moved stiffly,with his arms clamped against his sides,looking like nothing so much as a pair of scissors.When I knew him,his hair as quite white,though it was supposed to have been yellow when he was young. His eyes were blue and deep set and had an anxious look about them as if he found the world a puzzling place.This expression of anxiety,which arose from nothing more than short-sight一he refused to wear glasses一inspire the protective instincts of his lady admirers,much to the irritation my great-aunt who thought all women were fools,except herself.
Great-uncle Curry was naturally lazy. He spent a great deal of his time in the village pub playing darts.He was also a compulsive reader from the local telephone directory to great-aunt's shopping lists.For a man whose book showed such a deep perception of the complexities of human behavior, his conversation was surprisingly trivial.He delighted in discussing English weather,the price of beer,his grandchildren's most amusing words.
He loved gossip,but he was kind.I never heard him make a malicious remark,but the wisdom of his writing never appeared in his conversation.As a child,we much preferred the company of his cousin,Stanly,who was a successful shop-owner who always brought us bags of sugar and broken biscuits.Taking it all in all,I have to admit my famous great-uncle was rather a bore.
选项
Which statement is NOT true,according to the third and fourth paragraph?
A:Lawrence was lazy.
B:Lawrence was boring.
C:Lawrence tended to read anything he could find.
D:Lawrence was a humorous man but seldom showed it in his remark.
答案
D
解析
根据文章第一段最后一句:" It seems that they find it difficult to accept such a great figure could have had such an ordinary character.”由此可以判断人们失望是因为他们很难接受这样一个伟大的人物居然是这样一个普通人,所以选B。
第二段第五句提到:" This expression of anxiety , which arose from nothing more than short-sight",他焦虑的神情来自于他的近视,所以选C“他视力不好”。 arise在文中的意思是“起因于······,由······产生”。
第二段第五句提到:" This expression of anxiety...inspire the protective in-stincts of his lady admirers" , inspire意为“激发”' protective instinct意为“保护的本能”。所以选 B,即让他的女性崇拜者想要保护他。
文章的后两段指出了劳伦斯是一个天生懒惰、无聊的人,有强迫阅读症,只有D“劳伦斯是一个幽默的人”这点在全文都没有提及,所以选D。
文章的最后一段提到:" Stanly , who...who always brought us bags of sugar and broken biscuits",小孩子更喜欢叔祖父的表兄是因为他总带给他们糖和饼干,都是孩子爱吃的东西,所以B正确。
