英语问题57
Kincaid
looked at his watch: eight-seventeen. The truck started on the second try, and
he backed out, shifted gears, and moved slowly down the alley under hazy sun.
Through the streets of Bellingham he went, heading south on Washington 11,
running along the coast of Puget Sound for a few miles, then following the
highway as it swung east a little before meeting U.S Route 20.
Turning into the sun, he began the
long, winding drive through the Cascades. He liked this country and felt
unpressed stopping now and then to make notes about interesting possibilities
for future expeditions or to shoot what he called “memory snapshots.” The
purpose of these causal photographs was to remind him of places he might want
to visit again and approach more seriously. In later afternoon he turned north
at Spokane, picking up U.S. Route 2, which would take him halfway across the
northern United States to Duluth, Minnesota.
He wished for the thousandth time in
his life that he had a dog ,a golden retriever, maybe ,for travels like this
and to keep him company at home. But he was frequently away; overseas much of
the time and it would not be fair to the animal .Still ,he thought about it
anyway. In a few years he would be getting too old for the hard fieldwork. “I
must get a dog then.” He said to himself.
Drives like this always put him into a
sentimental mood. The dog was part of it .Robert Kincaid was alone as it’s
possible to be—an only child ,parents both dead , distant relatives who had
lost track of him and he of them, no close friends.
He thought about Marian .She had left
him nine years ago after five years of marriage. He was fifty-two now , that
would make her just under forty .Marian had dreams of becoming a musician ,a
folksinger .She knew all of the Weavers’ songs and sang them pretty well in the
coffeehouse of Seattle .When he was home in the old days, he drove her to the
shows and sat in the audience while she sang.
His long absences—two or three months
sometimes—were hard on the marriage .He knew that. She was aware of what he did
when they decided to get married ,and both of them had a vague(not clear) sense
that it could all be handled somehow. It couldn’t when he came from
photographing a story in Iceland
and ,she was gone . The note read, “Robert ,it didn’t work out ,I left you the Harmony
guitar. Stay in touch.”

A.

我觉得根据文中意思是,他希望在他的生活里有只狗（陪伴他）,但事实上由于他外出频繁以致他原本的愿望无法实现.同时,没有实现的原因也并不是因为他个人主观感情上（害怕动物）所导致的结果.所以B项符合.再来谈谈D项,接下来谈到的很具迷惑性,我想大概也是误选D项的愿意吧.文中说他认为再过一些年,对于繁重的农活来说,他会逐渐老去（干不动了）,他自言自语的说了一句“接下来我必须弄一只狗.”读到这里看似符合D项说法,但事实上,接着读就能发现其中端倪了.文章接下来说,像这样的驾驶总是把他置于一种郁闷的情绪之中,狗是这种生活的一部分.（有了狗的存在可以改变这种单调的生活给他带来的枯躁、郁闷的现状.）后面又说他很孤独,就像个失去双亲,远离亲属的孩子一样,没有朋友.因此,设想一下,如果有只狗他可能不会再感到孤单无助.而D项说需要狗是为了（帮助他）干农活,违背了原文意思的.因此,D项不对的.

B项用的是虚拟语气， He wished for the thousandth time inhis life that he had a dog ,a golden retriever, maybe ,for travels like thisand to keep him company at home. But he was frequently away; overseas much ofthe time and it would not be fair to the animal 这三句中"wish"对应选项中得语气。然后D项是过去时态下现在是的语气，而文章中 In a few years he would be getting too old for the hard fieldwork. “Imust get a dog then.”是过去时态下将来时的语气，与选项的现在的语气不相符
