She has glossy black hair pulled tightly into a knot at the back of her
16、 head and carries over 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
17、ticket to an eastern city.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
18、with a second girl, a 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 h
19、er eye from out of the 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
20、startled that anyone would 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 count
21、er with his magazine, 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 wh
22、o was so near to me, he 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 dest
23、ination - since he cannot 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 s
24、uffocating. What shall 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 elate
25、d to see the black-haired 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 h
26、im with no sort of recognition. “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
27、 sounds wordier than stole 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.
28、She pulls the black bag 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 an

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
30、 the fur trimmed coat - 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 we

35、the girl was arrested at last七、TEXT B(总题数：1，分数：4.00)Anniversaries 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:
36、Rembrandts 400th; Mozarts 250th; and 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,
37、concert hails and opera houses around 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 museum
38、s and performances? Or do they help 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 Shakespea
39、re Jubilee, which was organized by 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
40、was not doing too well. The popularity 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
41、them - were drastically revised by 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“, “
42、Coronation Mass“ and other sacred 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?T
43、rue, the same question might be asked 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
44、 turned listening into a deeply personal 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 h
45、at: Pushkin first raised it in his 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 cen
46、tury, he certainly is in need of no 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 cro
47、wds in mind, hoping that some 250,000 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, Remb
48、randt seems to offer a window into 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.（分数：4.00）(1).It can be inferred from the passage that _.（分数：1.00）A.Mozarts music used to be only played in churchB.Mozar
