She has glossy black hair pulled tightly into a knot at the back of her head and carries over
15、 the shoulder of her leather coat a heavy black purse. She wears black boots of soft leather and her beauty quickens his heart beat.The airline clerk interrupts. 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 c
16、ity.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 standing near a Travelers Aid counter, deep in conversation with a second girl, a
17、blond in a cloth coat trimmed with gray fur. He wants somehow to attract the brunettes 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
18、 shadows of the bar. In another instant the two women separate; neither of their direction is toward him. He orders a second Scotch and water.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 w
19、ould 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 - is she blushing? - and an odd grimace crosses her mouth and vanishes. She moves away from him and joins the crowds in the terminal.The man is at the counter with his magazine,
20、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, h
21、e 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 suitcoat - 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 - since he can
22、not even afford bus fare - conduct his business and fly home. 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
23、 he do?First, find a policeman, tell what has happened, describe the young woman, damn her. 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-hai
24、red girl. She is seated against a front window of the terminal, taxis and private cars moving sluggishly beyond her in the gathering darkness: she seems engrossed in a book. A seat beside her is empty, and the man occupies it.“Ive been looking for you,“ he says.She glances at him with no sort of rec
25、ognition. “I dont 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 s
26、tole or took or even ripped off.“I beg your pardon?“ the girl says.“I know you did - at the magazine counter. If youll just give it back, we can forget the whole thing, If you dont, then Ill hand you over to the police.“She studies him, her face serious. “All right,“ she says. She pulls the black ba
27、g onto her lap, reaches into it and draws out a wallet.He takes it from her. “Wait a minute,“ be says. “This isnt mine.“The girl runs, he bolts after her until he hears a womans voice behind him:“Stop, thief! Stop that man!“Ahead of him the brunette disappears around a comer and in the same moment a
28、 young man in a marine uniform puts out a foot to trip him up. He falls hard, banging knee and elbow on the tile floor of the terminal, but manages to hang on to the wallet which is not his.The wallet is a womans, fat with money and credit cards, and it belongs to the blonde in the fur trimmed coat
29、- the blonde he has earlier seen in conversation with the criminal brunette. She, too, is breathless, as is the police man with her.“Thats him,“ the blonde girl says. “He lifted my billfold.“It occurs to the man that he cannot even prove his own identity to the policeman.Two weeks later - the embarr
30、assment and rage have diminished, the family lawyer has been paid, the confusion in his household has receded - the wallet turns up without explanation in one mornings mall. It is intact, no money is missing, all the cards are in place. Though he is relieved, the man thinks that for the rest of his
31、life he will feel guilty around policemen, and ashamed in the presence of women.（分数：5.00）(1).What can be inferred from the beginning of the story?（分数：1.00）A.The man was single.B.The man was attracted by the girl.C.The girl paid no attention to the man.D.The man knew the girl.(2).The word “brunette“

33、e man sat beside the black-haired girl to _.（分数：1.00）A.accost herB.arrest herC.threaten herD.ask for his wallet back(5).It can be inferred that _.（分数：1.00）A.the man was put into prisonB.the man was sued for stealingC.the man convinced the policeman of the truth at the airportD.the girl was arrested
34、at last1.BTEXT B/BAnniversaries are the opium of museums, publishers, theaters and opera houses. Fixing their eyes on some round-number birth or death date of a major creator, they start planning to cash in years before. For 2006, birthdays are the winning numbers: Rembrandts 400th; Mozarts 250th; a
35、nd the 100th for Samuel Beckett and Dmitri Shostakovich.The Dutch have organized a score of Rembrandt shows, starting appropriately with an exhibition based around his mother in the town of his birth, Leiden. Mozarts music will be heard more than usual in churches, concert hails and opera houses aro
36、und the world, with his birthplace, Salzburg, once again trying to compensate for the indifference it showed him during his lifetime.But do such anniversaries and accompanying celebrations serve much purpose? Are they just marketing devices to sell tickets to museums and performances? Or do they hel
37、p draw the attention of younger generations to the giants of Western culture who at times seem crowded out by the pygmies of popular culture?As it happens, the practice is not new. The birth of Bardolatry, or Shakespeare worship, is generally traced to the Shakespeare Jubilee, which was organized by
38、 the actor-manager David Garrick to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the playwrights birth (the jubilee was actually held in 1769, five years after the anniversary, but presumably time was more flexible in those days).Until then, perhaps surprisingly, Shakespeare was not doing too well. The popula
39、rity of many of his plays did not survive the l8-year-long closure of Londons theaters during the Civil War and Cromwells rule. Then, after theaters reopened in 1660 with the Restoration of the monarchy, several of his major works - “Richard “ and “King Lear“ among them - were drastically revised by
40、 other playwrights.Today, Mozart, for one, is hardly in need of revival. No opera house plans a season these days without including at least one of his stage masterpieces: “Le Nozze di Figaro“, “Don Giovanni“, “Cosi fan tutte“ and “Die Zauberflote“. His “Requiem“, “Coronation Mass“ and other sacred
41、works are regularly performed. His instrumental works - he wrote hundreds - keep soloists and orchestras busy throughout the year.A more interesting reflection for Jan. 27, the 250th anniversary of his birth, is: how would Western culture have fared without Mozart?True, the same question might be as
42、ked of myriad great artists who have bequeathed beauty, emotion and understanding. Yet Mozart was unique, not only because he excelled in every kind of music (while, say, Verdi and Wagner were great composers only of opera), but also because, more even than Bach, he turned listening into a deeply pe
43、rsonal experience.There is that perennial: who killed Mozart? In Peter Schaffers 1979 play, “Amadeus“, adapted as an Oscar-winning movie by Milos Forman in 1984, the finger of guilt was pointed at Mozarts contemporary, Antonio Salieri. But even that charge was old hat: Pushkin first raised it in his
44、 1830 play, “Mozart and Salieri“, which Rimsky-Korsakov adapted as an opera in 1897. Still, the question is again being trotted out for the anniversary.No such mystery surrounds Rembrandts life or death. But if his greatness was only fully recognized in the 19th century, he certainly is in need of n
45、o anniversary “special offers“ to be admired today. His more than 600 oils are in collections around the world and, whenever selected for exhibitions, they draw huge crowds.The organizers of Rembrandt 400, as the anniversary has been tagged, evidently again have crowds in mind, hoping that some 250,
46、000 people will travel to the Netherlands for the occasion.Will Rembrandts fans cross paths with those of Mozart?If they did, they might find that their idols have something in common. In his 75 or so self portraits, recording his passage from youth to old age, Rembrandt seems to offer a window into
47、 his soul. Cannot Mozarts compositions also be considered as self-portraits? Certainly, it is by displaying their intimacy that they share their genius with us.But of course only time will define their place in the pantheon. As happened to Rembrandt and many others, great artists are often forgotten before they are enshrined by posterity. After that, thankfully, anniversaries make little difference._BTEXT B/BAnniversaries are the opi
