Question

【題目】

Lois Gibson will never forget that day. One evening nearly 40 years ago, a man broke into her house. He asked Gibson to give him all her money. After Gibson refused, the man almost put her to death. Luckily, Gibson was released at last. She was too afraid to call the police. The second day while driving, Gibson turned onto a wrong street. There, she happened to see the man being caught. Suddenly, Gibson saw a reason to return to school and learn more about art.

Four years later, Gibson became a forensic artist（罪犯素描師）. Now 65, she has had an excellent job. Over the past 33 years, the artist has drawn thousands of suspects（嫌疑犯）. About 30 percent of these drawings are helpful. No one in the world has done better.

Gibson still remembers the first time she tried to draw a suspect. She talked to a young man who had seen a killer. The man was too excited and Gibson couldn’t finish her drawing. The suspect looked like he was eating a lemon. However, just a day later, a policeman told Gibson that her drawing had helped solve the case. “I thought, if that terrible drawing stopped a bad guy—like the man who tried to kill me—I’m never going to stop,” Gibson says.

There is never a day that goes by when Gibson isn’t drawing a suspect. The artist says she wants to help those people feel better about something they are never going to forget. “When they see the drawing, they see hope for justice（正義）,” she says.

Some of Gibson’s friends expect her to create the beautiful, just like other artists. She doesn’t. Why? “You’ll lose yourself if you catch one suspect,” she says. “You want to get another.”

【解析】

文章大意：本文主要記敘了Lois Gibson成為罪犯素描師的過(guò)程，以及他對(duì)破案做出的貢獻(xiàn)。

【1】主旨大意題。文章第一段主要記敘了Lois Gibson在被搶劫后，產(chǎn)生了成為罪犯素描師的想法。故答案為A。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中She was too afraid to call the police. The second day while driving, Gibson turned onto a wrong street.她太害怕了不能給警察打電話(huà)。第二天開(kāi)車(chē)的時(shí)候，Gibson拐錯(cuò)了路推測(cè)出在前一天的最后她被釋放了。所以句中下劃線(xiàn)單詞was released的漢語(yǔ)意思是“被釋放”。故答案為C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中However, just a day later, a policeman told Gibson that her drawing had helped solve the case.一天以后，警察告訴他他的畫(huà)幫忙破了案可知。故答案為B。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中“When they see the drawing, they see hope for justice（正義）,” she says.她說(shuō)：“當(dāng)他們看到畫(huà)時(shí)，他們就看到了正義的希望”可知，所以從這段話(huà)中可以推斷出給罪犯畫(huà)畫(huà)是為了正義抓住他們。故答案為C。
