6.Marc had worked in the city hall's engineering department for so long that the city was laid out in his mind like a map,full of names and places.And then something happened that filled him with shock.One August afternoon,he discovered a card saying GREEN BOTTLE STREET at the back of the drawer.He checked the listed details.It was not there.It was a lost,a forgotten street,which existed in the heart of Montreal,not half a mile from city hall,and no one had known.He put the card in his pocket and the next day he went looking for the street with beating heart.
At his first glance,Marc realized how it had gotten its unusual name.It was exactly like a bottle in shape.With the sun shining on the garden plots,and the blue sky overhead,the street gave him a sense of peace.A woman some sixty years of age was watering roses in the garden of the first house to his right.
He announced,"I'm from the city engineering department,madam."
The woman recovered herself and set her watering can down.
"So you have found out at last,"she said."We paid our taxes and made out a lot of forms and answered the questions of various officials.Then,after a while,we were sent no notices,so we paid no more taxes.No one bothered us at all.It was a long time before we understood that in some way they'd forgotten about us."
Marc nodded.Of course,if Green Bottle Street had been ignored by the city hall,no inspectors would go there,no tax collectors.All would pass merrily by.
"For several years,the tenants(租户) here had lived in harmony with each other and the landlord.The owner became so attached to them that he gave them all he had when he died.I have lived here for more than twenty years.I hope to end my days here as well."
She smiled pleasantly at him,apparently forgetting for the moment that he carried in his pocket a bomb that could blow their little world to pieces.
"You remind me of my nephew,"she said suddenly."He was a dear boy.I was heart broken when he died.I'm the last of my family,you know."
Marc thought of his noisy and violent landlady and neighbors.He could not recall when he had been spoken to with such simple goodwill.His heart warmed to this old lady."I wonder,"he said slowly,"I am a good tenant,and I wonder…"
"Oh yes,"she leaned forward eagerly,"you could have the top floor of my house.I'm sure it would suit you."
Marc took the card out of his pocket and tore it across and dropped the pieces in the watering can.As far as he was concerned,Green Bottle Street would remain mislaid forever.

解答 61.答案 A 推理判断题.由第六段最后两句"No one bothered us at all.It was along time before we understood that in some way they'd forgotten about us."以及第八段最后一句"I hope to end my days here as well."可知,这位老妇人不希望她现在生活的地方有外界打扰,所以作者的到来让她很失望(disappointed),因为她以为她生活的地方被发现了.puzzled 意为"困惑的",curious 意为"好奇的",excited 意为"激动的",均不符合文意.故正确答案为A.
62.答案 D 推理判断题.由倒数第三段第一句"Marc thought of his noisy andviolent landlady and neighbors"以及第三、四句"His heart warmed to this old lady.'I wonder,'he said slowly,'I ama good tenant,and I wonder…'"以及最后一段第一句"Marc took the card out of hispocket and tore it across and dropped the pieces in the watering can"可以推断出 Marc 很可能会搬去 GreenBottle Street,D项正确;A项,由第九段"She smiled pleasantly at him,apparently forgetting for the momentthat he carried in his pocket a bomb that could blow their little world topieces."可知 Marc 口袋中的卡片对这个没有被发现的地方来说会是一个像炸弹一样危险的存在,并不是他口袋中有炸弹,A项错误;B项,"讨厌视察员和税务员",文章未提及,B项错误;C项,由第二段最后一句"He put the card in his pocket andthe next day he went looking for the street with beating heart"可知 Marc 去寻找这个街道时很激动,并不用推断出来,C项错误.故正确答案为D.
63.答案 D 推理判断题.由倒数第三段第一句"Marc thought of his noisy and violentlandlady and neighbors"以及最后一段第二句"As far as he was concerned,Green Bottle Street would remain mislaidforever"可知他将卡片撕毁让 Green Bottle Street 永远搁置,可以推知 Marc 喜欢并珍惜 GreenBottle Street 的平和,因此D项正确.A项,"他与那个女人陷入了爱情之中",文中并未提及,故错误;B项,"GreenBottle Street 被遗忘了",由最后一段最后一句"As far as he was concerned,GreenBottle Street would remain mislaid forever."可知"Green Bottle Street 被遗忘了"是他所认为的,并不是原因,故错误;C项,"它展现了错误的信息",文中并未提及,故错误.故正确答案为D.
64.答案 B 细节理解题.由第八段最后两句"I have lived here for more thantwenty years.I hope to end my days here as well."可以推知那位老妇人喜爱她现在生活的地方,想在这个地方度过余生,因此B项正确;A项,由倒数第四段第一句"'You remind me of my nephew,'shesaid suddenly."可知 Marc 的出现让老妇人想到了她的外甥,而非A项"这位妇人的外甥和Marc 很像",因此A项错误;C项,由第八段第一句"For several years,the tenants(租户) here had lived in harmony witheach other and the landlord."可知这里的租户相处很和谐,因此C项错误;D项,由第八段第二句"The owner became so attached tothem that he gave them all he had when he died."可知是 Green Bottle Street 的房东在死后将其所有给了房客,不是 Marc 的房东,文章并未提及 Marc 房东有相关行为,因此D项错误.故正确答案为B.
