2.Sebastian Faulks has written many novels,including Devil May Care,the latest James Bond book.This cutting comes from a very different kind of novel called Charlotte Gray.The setting is a transit (中轉(zhuǎn)) camp near Paris during the Second World War,where a group of people,including two small children,Andre and Jacob,await transport to take them to a concentration camp outside France.Although these people-the‘deportees'of the cutting-are not fully aware of this,they face certain death.
The Last Night
Andre was lying on the floor when a man came with postcards on which the deportees might write a final message.He advised them to leave them at the station or throw them from the train as camp orders forbade access to the post.Two or three pencils that had survived the camps search were passed round among the people in the room.Some wrote with weeping passion,some with great care,as though their safety,or at least the way in which they were remembered,depended upon their choice of words.
A woman came with a sandwich for each child to take on the journey.She also had a bucket of water,round which they gathered,holding out food cans they passed from one to another.One of the older boys hugged her in his gratitude,but the bucket was soon empty.When she was gone,there were only the small hours of the night to go through.Andre was lying on the straw,and Jacob leaned close to him for warmth.
Five buses had come in through the main entrance,and now stood trembling in the corner of the yard.At a long table …the commandant of the camp himself sat with a list of names that another policeman was calling out in alphabetical order.Andre heard his name and moved with Jacob towards the bus.From the other side of the courtyard,from windows open on the dawn,a shower of food was thrown towards them by women crying and calling out their names.
Andre looked up,and in a chance angle of light he saw a woman's face in which the eyes were fixed with terrible fierceness on a child beside him.Why did she stare as though she hated him?Then it came to Andre that she was not looking in hatred,but had kept her eyes so intensely open in order to fix the picture of her child in her mind.She was looking to remember,for ever.…

分析 本文講述是Sebastian Faulks寫的小說《亂世有情天》(Charlotte Gray).小說描寫的是在第二次世界大戰(zhàn)期間,主人公在集中營(yíng)所經(jīng)歷的苦難.那里的人們都在面臨著死亡.
解答 66.C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段描述,從"Sebastian Faulks""Charlotte Gray""The setting"和"Andre and Jacob"可知,第一部分寫了作者,小說名稱,背景和主人公.故選C.
67.A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章"Andre was lying on the floor when a man came with postcards on which the deportees might write a final message.He advised them to leave them at the station or throw them from the train as camp orders forbade access to the post."可知,文中提到被驅(qū)趕者急于離開,也留下了明信片權(quán)他們離開.這件事在小說中是存在的.故選A.
68.B.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章"Then it came to Andre that she was not looking in hatred,but had kept her eyes so intensely open in order to fix the picture of her child in her mind.She was looking to remember,for ever"可知,母親只是想記住她孩子的臉,永遠(yuǎn)記住,可推測(cè),她的孩子即將離她而去,再也見不到了.故選B.
69.B.推理預(yù)測(cè)題.本文講述的是一則悲傷的故事.是在第二次世界大戰(zhàn)期間,主人公在集中營(yíng)所經(jīng)歷的苦難.面對(duì)這樣的人物設(shè)定,顯然是通過一種絕望無助的音調(diào)來描述這個(gè)故事.故選B
點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文考察學(xué)生文學(xué)類閱讀文章的閱讀水平,閱讀這類文章時(shí),也應(yīng)該在整體把握文章結(jié)構(gòu)的前提下,主要注意細(xì)節(jié)信息.細(xì)節(jié)題題干都是相應(yīng)原文的變形(如同義改寫、詞性轉(zhuǎn)換等),因此要找到答案一定要找到題干在原文中的出處,再把原文和選項(xiàng)相比較.做題時(shí),根據(jù)所提問題用尋讀、跳讀的方法可達(dá)到事半功倍的效果
