2017屆高考英語總復習名師全程導學案：Unit3 名師點津
one very hot weekday in july，while wearing a red ski mask and holding a stuffed pillowcase with the word“bank”on it，i tried calling a taxi five times outside different banks. the driver picked me up every time. my ride with a haitian driver was typical of the superb assistance i received.
“let’s go across the park，”i said，“i just robbed the bank there. i got $25,000. ”
“$25,000？”he asked.
“yeah，you think it was wrong to take it？”
“no，man. i work 8 hours and i don’t make almost $70. if i can do that，i do it too. ”
as we approached 86th and lexington，i pointed to the chemical bank.
“hey，there is another bank，”i said，“could you wait here a minute while i go inside？”
“no，i can’t wait. pay me now. ”his unwillingness may have had something to do with money—taxi drivers think the rate for waiting time is too low—but i think he wanted me to learn that even a bank robber can’t expect unconditional support.
【解題導語】 本文主要介紹了作者對紐約的出租車司機對乘客的個人麻煩所持的態度的調查——作者謊稱自己有各種麻煩，然后觀察出租車司機的反應。
11. from the ghanaian driver’s response，we can infer that ________.
a. he was afraid of the author
b. he thought the author was crazy
c. he looked down upon the author
d. he was indifferent to the killing
解析：選d。推理判斷題。由第二段內容可知，當作者說自己殺了人時，沒有人表示出驚訝或其他類似驚訝的反應，只有一個司機答話了，而他也只是問具體地點，因此d項正確，即他對此很冷漠。
12. why did the pakistani driver refuse to take the author to the middle of the george washington bridge?
a. because he was able to help the author to find a new job.
b. because he wanted to go home and relax.
c. because he thought that the author would commit suicide.
d. because it was far away from his home.
解析：選c。推理判斷題。由第三段可知，當作者告訴司機自己失業，因此感到對生活失去了希望時，他們極力地勸說他不要失去信心。而當作者提出要到華盛頓大橋中央的時候，一位司機拒絕載他，當然是害怕他會自殺。即c項合理。
13. in the author’s opinion，the driver’s unwillingness to wait outside the chemical bank indicates ________.
a. the driver thought it wrong to support a taxi rider unconditionally
b. the driver was frightened and wanted to leave him as soon as possible
c. the driver did not want to help a suspect to escape from a bank robbery
d. the driver thought that the rate for waiting time was too low
解析：選a。細節理解題。由文章最后一句話中的“but i think he wanted me to learn that even a bank robber can’t expect unconditional support”可知答案。
