“Lucky" Lord Lucan一Alive or Dead?

On 8th November 1974 Lord Lucan, a British aristocrat（贵族）,vanished. The day before, his chil-
dren's nanny（保姆）had been brutally murdered and his wife had been attacked too. To this day the British
'public are still interested in the murder case because Lucan has never been found.Now,over 30 years later,
the police have reopened the case,hoping that new DNA techniques will help solve this murder mystery.
People suspected that"Lucky",as he was called by friends,wanted to kill his wife he no longer lived
with.They say that Lucan entered his old house and in the dark,killed the nanny by mistake.His estranged
（分居的）wife heard noises, came downstairs and was also attacked, but managed to escape. Seven months
after the murder,a jury concluded that Lucan had killed the nanny.
What happened next is unclear,but there are several theories which fall into one of three categories:he
may have killed himself,he could have escaped or he might have been killed.It appears that the night after
the murder,"Lucky"borrowed a car and drove it. Lucan's friend Aspinall said in an interview that he
thought Lucan had committed suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel.
Another version of events says that"Lucky"left the blood-soaked car on the coast and took a ferry to
France.He was met there by someone who drove him to safety in another country.However,after a time,
his rescuers became worried that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed.
A further fascinating theory was made in the book Dead Lucky by Duncan Maclaughlin,a former detective.
He believes that Lucan travelled to Go'a,India,where he assumed the identity of a Mr. Barry Haplin. Lucan
then lived in Goa till his death in 1996.In the end the claim turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. The
man who died in 1996 was really Haplin,an ex-schoolteacher. So what is the truth about"Lucky"?DNA
testing has solved many murder cases,but who knows if it can close the book on this one.
选项 The word"assumed"in the last paragraph means__________.
A:disclosed
B:set up
C:took on
D:changed
答案C
解析由文章第一段第三句话可知，直到今天，英国民众仍对这起谋杀案感兴趣因为嫌疑犯 Lucan一直没被找到。故选D。
文章第二段讲到，Lucan想去杀掉与他分居的妻子，结果当他在黑夜里进人妻子住的老 房子时却误杀了保姆。他的妻子听到声响下楼看时也被他攻击，但设法逃脱了。故选D。
由文章第三段最后一句话“Lucan' s friend Aspinall said in an interview that he thought Lucan had committed suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel.”可知，Aspinall认为Lu- can是通过沉船在英吉利海峡的方式自杀的。故选A。
在文章倒数第二段中讲到“He was met there by someone who drove him to safety in anoth- er country.However,after a time,his rescuers became worried that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed."，由此得知，把Lucan送到国外的人们担心Lucan被抓 会连累到他们，就把他给杀了。故选A。
题干中的“assumed”出现在“.he assumed the identity of a Mr.Barry Haplin."，结合上下 文，该句意思是“他为自己伪造了Mr.Barry Haplin的假身份”。四个选项的意思分别是A．透 露，揭露；公开；B．建立，创立；C．呈现（某种性质、样子等）；装成某事物；D．变化，改变。故 选C。第三篇 本文主要讲述了“迁徒行动”这一组织用轻型飞机来带领高鸣鹤往南迁徒的事情。
