6．Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud，slowly，his tone growing sadder and sadder．The little headline said：BOXER RECEIVES LIFE SENTENCE．
Frank Cleary，aged 26，professional boxer，was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Cumming，aged 32，laborer，last July．The jury （陪審團） reached its decision after only ten minutes，recommending the most severe punishment the court could give out．It was，said the judge，a simple case．Cumming an d Cleary had quar reled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and the police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Cumming．When arrested Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking…
Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour．Asked if he had anything to say，Cleary answered，"Just don't tell my mother．"
"It happened over three years ago，"Paddy said helplessly．No one answered him or moved，for no one knew what to do．"Just don't tell my mother，"said Fee numbly．"And no one did!Oh，God!My poor，poor Frank!"
Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said．"Fee dear，pack your things．We'll go to see him．"
She half-rose before sinking back，her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead．"I can't go，"she said without a hint of pain，yet making everyone feel that the pain was there．"It would kill him to see me．I know him so well-his pride，his ambition．Let him bear the shame alone，it's what he wants．We've got to help him keep his secret．What good will it do him to see us？"
Paddy was still weeping，but not for Frank，for the life which had gone from Fee's face，for the dying in her eyes．Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune，always stood between Fee and himself．He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children．
Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee，F(xiàn)rank took it away．But Paddy's love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank．
So he said，"Well，F(xiàn)ee，we won't go．But we must make sure he is taken care of．How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank？"
The eyes didn't liven，but a faint pink stole into her cheeks．"Yes，Paddy，do that．Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out．Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don't know．"

分析 本文講述了Frank是個職業(yè)拳擊手，所以他被發(fā)現(xiàn)犯有謀殺罪，直到三年后家人才弄清一切．
解答 20．B：細節(jié)題．A項"因為 Frank 是個職業(yè)拳擊手，所以他被發(fā)現(xiàn)犯有謀殺罪"，并無因果關(guān)系，故此項錯誤．B項，"直到三年后家人才弄清 Frank 身上發(fā)生了什么"，由第三段第一句"It happened over three years ago"及第三段倒數(shù)第二句"And no one did!"可知，沒有人告訴 Frank 的家人他發(fā)生了什么，故此項正確．C項，"陪審團和法官對 Frank 是否犯謀殺罪有爭議"，由第二段第二句"The jury reached its decision after only ten minutes，recommending the most severe punishment to the court．It was，said the judge，a simple case．"可知，陪審團和法官并無異議，故此項錯誤．D項，"Frank 不想讓家人弄清發(fā)生了什么，因為 Paddy 不喜歡他"，文章中并未提及 Paddy 不想讓家人弄清發(fā)生了什么，故此項錯誤．故正確答案為B．
21：C細節(jié)題．由第六段第一句"Paddy was still weeping，not for Frank，but for the life which had gone from Fee's face，for the dying in her eyes．"可知，Paddy 是因為 Fee 才哭泣的，他覺得發(fā)生在 Frank 身上的事讓 Fee 承受巨大的痛苦．故正確答案為C．
22．A：推斷題．A項，"她臉色蒼白，眼睛發(fā)直，如同死了一般"；B項，"讓他獨自承受羞恥，這就是他想要的"；C項，"當 Fee 生活中出現(xiàn)一點點的快樂時，F(xiàn)rank 就把它奪走"；D項，"眼睛沒有活躍起來，但一絲淡淡的紅暈飛上她的面頰"．結(jié)合文意，只有A項是 Fee 聽說發(fā)生在 Frank 身上的事之后感到震驚的樣子，故正確答案為A．
23：D推斷題．A項，"Fee 是如此的傷心以至于她幾乎沒辦法站起來"；B項，"Fee 不想因為去看望 Frank 而讓 Paddy 傷心"；C項，"Fee 不能離開她的家庭去看望 Frank"；D項，"Fee 在看望 Frank 與尊重他的愿望之間掙扎"．劃線句原意為"她半站半蹲之后又重重坐下，她臉色蒼白，兩眼發(fā)直，如同死了一般"，結(jié)合劃線句后關(guān)于是否去看望 Frank 的一系列考慮，此處 Fee"半蹲半站又重重地坐下"的動作正展現(xiàn)了她關(guān)于是否去看望 Frank 的心理掙扎，故正確答案為D．
點評 本文是一個人物故事類閱讀理解，題目涉及多道細節(jié)理解題，做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細分析，結(jié)合選項選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．
