专四专八考试

【单选题】He is waiting for the airline ticket counter when he first notices the young woman. She has glossy black hair pulled tightly into a knot at the back of her head and carries over she shoulder of her leather coat a heavy black purse. She wears black boots of soft leather and her beauty quickens his heart beat.
The man gives up looking at the woman—he thinks she may be about twenty-five—and buys a round-trip, coach class ticket to an eastern city.
His flight leaves in an hour. To kill time, the man steps into one of the airport cocktail bars and orders a Scotch and water. While he sips it he catches sight of the black-haired girl in the leather coat. She is deep in conversation with a second girl, a blond in a cloth coat trimmed with gray fur. He wants somehow to attract the brunette’s attention, to invite her to have a drink with him before her own flight leaves for wherever she is traveling, but even though he believes for a moment she is looking his way he cannot catch her eye from out of the shadows of the bar. In another instant the two women separate; neither of their direction is toward him.
When next he sees her, he is buying a magazine to read during the flight and becomes aware that someone is jostling him.At first he is startled that anyone would be so close as to touch him, but when he sees who it is he musters a smile.
"Busy place," he says.
She looks up at him, and an odd grimace crosses her mouth and vanishes. She moves away and joins the crowds in the terminal.
The man is at the counter with his magazine, but when he reaches into his back pocket for his wallet the pocket is empty. Where could I have lost it He thinks. His mind begins enumerating the credit cards, the currency, the membership and identification cards; his stomach churns with something very like fear. The girl who was so near to me, he thinks—and all at once he understands that she has picked his pocket.
What is he to do He still has his ticket, safely tucked inside his suit coat—he reaches into the jacket to feel the envelope, to make sure. He can take the flight, call someone to pick him up at his destination.But in the meantime he will have to do something about the lost credit cards—call home, have his wife get the numbers out of the top desk drawer, phone the card companies—so difficult a process, the whole thing suffocating. What shall he do
First, find a policeman, tell what has happened, describe the young woman. He grits his teeth. He will probably never see his wallet again.
He is trying to decide if he should save time for talking to a guard near the X-ray machines when he is appalled and elated to see the black-haired girl. She seems engrossed in a book.A、seat beside her is empty, and the man occupies it.
"I’ve been looking for you," he says.
She glances at him with no sort of recognition. "I don’t know you," she says.
"Sure you do."
She sighs and puts the book aside. "Is this all you characters think about—picking up girls like we were stray animals What do you think I am "
"You lifted my wallet," he says. He is pleased to have said "lifted", thinking it sounds wordier than stole or took or even ripped off.
"I beg your pardon " the girl says.
"I know you did—at the magazine counter. If you’ll just give it back, we can forget the whole thing. If you don’t, then I’ll hand you over to the police."
She studies him, her face serious. "All right," she says. She pulls the black bag onto her lap, reaches into it and draws out a wallet.
He takes it from her. "Wait a minute," he says, "This isn’t mine."
The girl runs, he bolts after her until he hears a woman’s voice behind him:
"Stop, thief! Stop that man!"
Ahead of him the brunette disappears around a comer and in the same moment a young man in a marine uniform puts out a foot to trip him up. He falls hard, banging knee and elbow on the tile f

本题的出题点在文章末段。文章最后一段指出，两个星期之后男主人公才没有了尴尬和愤怒，他支付了律师费用，家里的风波也平息了。可见，他一定是受到了起诉，否则是不用支付律师费用的，故选B。文章未提及他是否因此事件入狱，故排除A；既然受到起诉，他肯定没能在机场说服警察，让警察相信他，故排除C；文章也没有提及女孩最后是否被抓，故排除D。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
