Question

   On Well La Paz Plaza is one of the most popular tourist sights in the world in South America. And the only scenery spot is its infamous San Pedro prison (监狱) .

  There are around 1,500 prisoners in the prison,80 percent of whom are drug offences (贩卖毒品罪) . However,besides the high walls and the main gate,there are no prison bars. Even most prisoners’ families live in the prison with them.

  Differing from most of prisons in the world,its prisoners (囚犯) have to buy cells themselves. Prices change according to what section you want. There are eight sections in San Pedro. The cell blocks in rich sections have tiled floors,cable TVs,and DVD players. Some of them even have an open balcony (阳 台) . While cells in the poorer sections are designed for one person,but often house five. The prisoners lie on dirty mattresses (床垫) .

   The cheapest cell will cost around £100,but the cells which look like actual apartments can sell for as much as £3,000.

   Besides the cells,the food in prison can also make your life here easier on condition that you have enough money. Instead of a large pot of unappetizing-looking (引不起食欲的) soup,you can buy fried chicken with chips or rice. There are many restaurants around the prison.

    Everything that prisoners need can be bought from sellers. They own shops selling fruit and vegetables,soft drinks and other items such as toilet paper. Some prisoners also sell handicrafts (手工艺品) they have made or pictures they’ve drawn.

文章是一篇说明文。拉巴斯广场是世界上最受欢迎的 一处观光胜地，它唯一的景点就是其恶名昭著的圣佩德罗监 狱。与其他地方的监狱不同，没人会给这个监狱中的囚犯分 配牢房，他们必须自己“买房”。

详析

1. A细节理解题。根据第一段可知，恶名昭著的圣佩德罗

监狱使得在南美的拉巴斯广场成为了最受欢迎的景点之一

2. B细节理解题。根据第三段的首句“ Differing frommost of the prisons in the world,its prisoners have to buy cells them selves.”可知，与其他地方的监狱不同 的是，犯人必须自己“买牢房”。

3. C细节理解题。根据第三段与第四段可知，“富人区”的监狱装有瓷砖地板、有线电视和DVD播放机，有 些甚至还设有阳台；联系第四段的“ but the cellswhich look like actual apartments can sell for as much as £ 3.000.”可以推知，“富人区”的监狱牢房售价 可能到3.000英镑，故A、B、D项正确；根据第三段 的“While cells in the poorer sections are designed for one person,but often house five. ” 可知，“贫民区”的 监狱，虽然是单人间，却常常住着五个人。

4. C词义猜测题。后文提到了犯人的饮食，可推知句意:除此

之外，如果你的钱足够多，这里的食物也可以让你活得 很舒坦。故该词组意为“如果”。

5. D细节理解题。通读全文可知，圣佩德罗监狱现有大约1.500名闪犯；舒适度不同的牢房的价格；犯人 在监狱里面的饮食与可以购买到的食品都提到了， 只有D项犯人的服装没有提到。

障碍句分析

1. Everything that prisoners need can be bought from sellers.闪犯可以从供应商那儿买到一切所需物品。

句中的that prisoners need是定语从句，修饰前面的先行 词everything,that是关系代词;can be bought意为“被买到”，是含有情态动词的被动语态，表示主语是动作的承受 者。含有情态动词的被动语态的结构是:情态动词+ be +动 词的过去分词

2. Some prisoners also sell handicrafts they have made or pictures they ’ ve drawn.有些闪犯也会卖点自己制作的手工艺品或绘制的图画。

they have made是定语从句，修饰前面的先行词 handicrafts ,省略了关系代词that; they ’ ve drawn也是定语从 句，修饰前面的先行词pictures ,省略了关系代词that。
