7.A drunken burglar in the Orrell Park area of Liverpool,ended up leaping out of a window after a 10-year-old girl asked him to prove he was a superhero.The drunken thief who pretended he was Superman to stop a child raising the alarm has been caught after he leapt from the apartment building in his pants to make the girl convinced.
Thief Ethan Adamson,25,told police that he had broken into a fifth-floor flat after a drinking party,believing it was empty.
But he was horrified when the owner's 10-year-old daughter woke up while he was there.
From his hospital bed,the thief told reporters,"To keep her quiet,I told her I was really Superman and I'd soon be flying off back to my secret headquarters."
"She called my bluff (向…摊牌) and told me,‘If you're Superman,show me you can fly or I'll scream'.
"I had no choice so I stripped to my pants to look more like a superhero and went to the window.I saw another roof below and I thought I could make it but it turned out to be a lot further down than thought.I know it doesn't make sense but it did to me when I was drunk."
Police later found him on the roof in just his yellow pants,covered in cuts and bruises(淤青) after a neighbor heard his cries of pain.
He now faces seven years behind bars for burglary.
Police spokesman Frank Armado said,"He was in quite a serious state and couldn't move until we got up there using ladders.He was treated for his injuries and we got him some fresh clothes,before taking him to hospital where he is being kept under guard until he is well enough to be arrested."

解答 29.A词义猜测题.根据前面的内容可知这个喝醉了的小偷假装超人想欺骗小女孩,结果小女孩让他像超人一样飞,否则就报警,所以他只能真的假装超人飞一下,根据下文I saw another roof below and I thought I could make it,他绝对不会不想摔死,想落在屋顶上,在根据make it成功,由此可知答案为A.
30.C 细节理解题.根据文章内容可知Ethan Adamson 喝了酒,假装超人欺骗女孩,假装飞了一下,进了医院被警察询问,所以答案选C.
31.A 主旨大意题.根据文章第一段和文章内容可以判断为A.
