The 19th century Wild West criminal Billy the Kid has been denied a pardon 130 years after his death. The possibility was first suggested when historical documents appeared to show that Billy the Kid had been promised a pardon in return for testifying in a murder case.
Billy the Kid, whose real name was William Bonney, was only 21 when he was shot dead, but his brief life inspired dozens of books and films. It’s not clear how many people he killed: some say more than 20. But his undoubted skill with a gun and his personal charm made him more of a folk hero than an infamous criminal. Supporters campaigned for a pardon, but the Governor of New Mexico Bill Richardson has refused one after extensive research. "The romanticism appealed to me." he said, "but the evidence didn’t support: the idea."
3 What can we learn about Billy the Kid?
4 Why was the campaign for a pardon refused?
选项
A、He learned to use gun at the age of 21.
B、He wrote a lot of books about his brief life.
C、He was considered as a murderer rather than a hero.
D、The number of victims killed by him was uncertain.
答案
D
解析
新闻中提到,人们不知道Billy the Kid究竟杀了多少人,有人推测不下于20个,故D项正确。
