(1) It was on the corner of the street that he noticed the first sign of something peculiar—a cat reading a map. For a second, Mr. Dursley didn’t realize what he had seen—then he jerked his head around to look again. There was a tabby cat (虎斑猫) standing on the corner of Privet Drive, but there wasn’t a map in sight. What could he have been thinking of? It must have been a trick of the light. Mr. Dursley blinked and stared at the cat. It stared back. As Mr. Dursley drove around the corner and up the road, he watched the cat in his mirror. It was now reading the sign that said Privet Drive—no, looking at the sign; cats couldn’t read maps or signs. Mr. Dursley gave himself a little shake and put the cat out of his mind. As he drove toward town he thought of nothing except a large order of drills he was hoping to get that day.
(2) But on the edge of town, drills were driven out of his mind by something else. As he sat in the usual morning traffic jam, he couldn’t help noticing that there seemed to be a lot of strangely dressed people about. People in cloaks. Mr. Dursley couldn’t bear people who dressed in funny clothes—the getups you saw on young people! He supposed this was some stupid new fashion. He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel and his eyes fell on a huddle of these weirdos standing quite close by. They were whispering excitedly together. Mr. Dursley was enraged to see that a couple of them weren’t young at all; why, that man had to be older than he was, and wearing an emerald-green cloak! The nerve of him! But then it struck Mr. Dursley that this was probably some silly stunt—these people were obviously collecting for something… yes, that would be it. The traffic moved on and a few minutes later, Mr. Dursley arrived in the Grunnings parking lot, his mind back on drills.
(3) Mr. Dursley always sat with his back to the window in his office on the ninth floor. If he hadn’t, he might have found it harder to concentrate on drills that morning. He didn’t see the owls swooping past in broad daylight, though people down in the street did; they pointed and gazed open-mouthed as owl after owl sped overhead. Most of them had never seen an owl even at night-time. Mr. Dursley, however, had a perfectly normal, owl-free morning. He yelled at five different people. He made several important telephone calls and shouted a bit more. He was in a very good mood until lunchtime, when he thought he’d stretch his legs and walk across the road to buy himself a bun from the bakery.
(4) He’d forgotten all about the people in cloaks until he passed a group of them next to the baker’s. He eyed them angrily as he passed. He didn’t know why, but they made him uneasy. This bunch were whispering excitedly, too, and he couldn’t see a single collecting tin. It was on his way back past them, clutching a large doughnut (甜甜圈) in a bag, that he caught a few words of what they were saying.
(5) "The Potters, that’s right, that’s what I heard—"
(6) "—Yes, their son, Harry—"
(7) Mr. Dursley stopped dead. Fear flooded him. He looked back at the whisperers as if he wanted to say something to them,
but thought better of it
.
(8) He dashed back across the road, hurried up to his office, snapped at his secretary not to disturb him, seized his telephone, and had almost finished dialing his home number when he changed his mind. He put the receiver back down and stroked his mustache, thinking… no, he was being stupid. Potter wasn’t such an unusual name. He was sure there were lots of people called Potter who had a son called Harry. Come to think of it, he wasn’t even sure his nephew was called Harry. He’d never even seen the boy. It might have been Harvey. Or Harold. There was no point in worrying Mrs. Dursley; she always got so upset at any mention of her sister. He didn’t blame her—if he’d had a sister like that… but all the same, those people in cloaks…
(9) He found it a lot harder to concentrate on drills that afternoon and when he left the building a five o’clock, he was still so worried that he walked straight into someone just outside the door. (本文选自 Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone)
Which of the following statements is CORRECT according to Para. 3?
选项
A、People were astonished to see the owls flying past in the daytime.
B、The owls had been found by the majority only during night.
C、Mr. Dursley shouted at others because he felt down.
D、Mr. Dursley planned to build up his muscles in the legs before lunch.
答案
A
解析
细节题。原文第三段第三句提到,德思礼先生没看到许多猫头鹰在大白天里快速飞过,但楼下街上的人都看到了;当猫头鹰一只接一只地从头顶上掠过时,他们目瞪口呆,用手指着并盯着看,由此可知,人们看到猫头鹰在白天飞过时非常吃惊。原文中的open-mouthed意为“张大嘴地”,用来表示惊讶或震惊,故答案为A。该段第四句指出他们当中大多数人甚至在夜间都从未见过一只猫头鹰,B与原文表述相反,故排除;该段第六句和第七句提到,德思礼先生分别对五个人大喊大叫了一通,打电话时又多喊了几句,紧接着第八句指出他的好心情一直持续到午饭时间,由此可知,德思礼先生朝其他人大喊大叫不是因为他心情低落,C与原文表述相反,故排除;该段最后一句提到,午饭时德思礼先生觉得该stretch his legs,穿过马路去面包店里给自己买一个小圆面包,该句中的动词短语stretch one’s legs是指 “(久坐之后)散散步;伸伸腿”,由此可知,德思礼先生计划午饭时步行去买面包,是想要活动腿脚,放松一下,而不是为了锻炼自己的腿部肌肉,D与原文表述不符,故排除。
