共用题干The Forbidden Apple
New York used to be the city that never sleeps.Theses days it's the city that never smokes,drinks or
does anything naughty(at least,not in public).The Big Apple is quickly turning into the Forbidden Apple.
If you wanted a glass of wine with your picnic in Central Park,could you have one?No chance.Drinking
alcohol in public isn't allowed. If you decided to feed the birds with the last crumbs(碎屑)of your sandwich,
you could be arrested.It's illegal.If you went to a bar for a drink and a cigarette,that would be OK,wouldn't
it?Er…no.You can't smoke in public in New York City.
What's going on?Why is the city that used to be so open-minded becoming like this?The mayor of New
York is behind it all.He has brought in a whole lot of new laws to stop citizens from doing what they want,
when they want.
The press are shocked.Even the New York police have joined the argument.They recently spent
$100,000 on a"Don't blame the cop"campaign.One New York police officer said,"We raise money for
the city by giving people fines for breaking some very stupid laws.It's all about money."
The result is a lot of fines for minor offences.Yoav Kashida,an Israeli tourist,fell asleep on the subway.
When he woke up,two police officers fined him because he had fallen asleep on two seats(you mustn't use
two seats in the subway).Elle and Serge Schroitman were fined for blocking a driveway with their car. It was
their own driveway.
The angry editor of Vanity Fair magazine,Graydon Carter,says,"Under New York City law it is accept-
able to keep a gun in your place of work,but not an empty ashtray."He should know.The police came to his
office and took away his ashtray(烟灰缸).
But not all of the New York's inhabitants are complaining. Marcia Dugarry,72,said,"The city has
changed for the better. If more cities had these laws,America would be a better place to live."Nixon Patotkis,
38,a barman,said,"I like the new laws.If people smoked in here,we'd go home smelling of cigarettes."
Recent figures show that New York now has fewer crimes per 100,000 people than 193 other US cities.
And it's true一it's safer,cleaner and more healthy than before.But let's be honest一who goes to New York for
its clean streets?New York is cleaner and safer than before.A:RightB:WrongC:Not mentioned
选项
New York is cleaner and safer than before.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned
答案
A
解析
由第一段第二句“These days it's the city that never smokes ,drinks or does anything naughty (at least,not in public)”可知,在纽约不可以在公共场合吸烟、喝酒和干任何不妥当的事。故选A。
由第一段第二句可知是不允许在公共场合吸烟、喝酒,而不是在所有地方都不允许吸 烟、喝酒。
由第一段第二句可知,在公共场合不允许干不妥当的事,吃苹果不属于不妥当的事,故选B。
文中根本没有提到商人的情况。
由文章第五段最后一句“It was their own driveway”可知选B。
由第六段中的“it is acceptable to keep a gun in you place of work but not an empty ash- tray”可知,法律规定可以在办公的地方可以放枪而不可以放烟灰缸,这种规定是愚蠢的。
由最后一段中的“it's safer, cleaner...”可知选A。
