Question

【題目】Deo sat staring straight ahead, so as to think about this. Then they were a bridge so high he felt he were in the airplanes again, and Muhammad said, “Manhattan,” and at a horizon of buildings impossibly tall, giant trees, like a sky of pillared (成柱狀的) clouds at sunrise in the mountains. a time Deo began to notice vacant lots, and buildings with wood their windows. When Muhammad turned off a main avenue onto a side street, Deo wanted to ask, urgently, they were stopping here. A few yards away, a man stood urinating (撒尿) the wall of a building. The sidewalk was covered with empty cans and and all sorts of paper trash. Muhammad led the way a brick building with broken windows and letters scribbled(潦草地書寫的) here and there on the walls. High up on one wall there were three letters , as if each letter were swollen: P E N. He followed Muhammad , the air reeking of urine and excrement (排泄物), up a staircase with a busted railing (破碎的欄桿), finally into a room with a dirty wooden floor, a room with door and no furniture. At the end of a hallway, there was a toilet, completely stopped up.

Muhammad said he stayed here to money. He didn’t have to pay rent for this room. His whole reason for being in New York was to and save as much as he could. He would be for Senegal in a few weeks. Deo should do as he had—work here for a while and save, then start a new life. But he should do this back in Africa, not in New York. “Because it’s so hard here,” Muhammad said.

【6】C�？疾閯釉~的用法。A. rushing 急速行進；B. passing路過，傳遞；C. covering覆蓋；D. flowing流淌。這里說的是那些建筑物都用木頭把窗戶蓋上了，此處是with的復合結構，表示主動，故選C。
