(1)You might think that borrowing a match upon the street is a simple thing. But any man who has ever tried it will assure you that it is not, and will be prepared to swear on oath to the truth of my experience of the other evening.
(2)I was standing on the corner of the street with a cigar that I wanted to light. I had no match. I waited till a decent, ordinary man came along. Then I said:
(3)"Excuse me, sir, but could you oblige me with the loan of a match?"
(4)"A match?" he said, "why, certainly." Then he unbuttoned his overcoat and put his hand in the pocket of his waistcoat. "I know I have one," he went on, "and I’d almost swear it’s in the bottom pocket—or, hold on, though, I guess it may be in the top—just wait till I put these parcels down on the sidewalk."
(5)"Oh, don’t trouble," I said, "It’s really of no consequence."
(6)"Oh, it’s no trouble, I’ll have it in a minute: I know there must be one in here somewhere"—he was digging his fingers into his pocket as he spoke—"but you see this isn’t the waistcoat that I generally..."
(7)I saw that man was getting excited about it. "Well, never mind," I protested: "if that isn’t the waistcoat that you generally—why, it doesn’t matter."
(8)"Hold on, now, hold on! " the man said. "I’ve got one of the cursed things in here somewhere. I guess it must be in with my watch. No, it’s not there either. Wait till I try my coat. If that damned tailor only knew enough to make a pocket so that a man could get at it! "
(9)He was getting pretty well worked up now. He had thrown down his walking-stick and searching his pockets with his teeth set. "It’s that cursed young boy of mine," he exasperated: "this comes of his fooling in my pocket. By God! Perhaps I won’t warm him up when I get home. Say, I’ll be that it’s in my hip-pocket. You just hold up the tail of my overcoat a second till I..."
(10)"No, no," I protested again, "please don’t take all this trouble, it really doesn’t matter. I’m sure you needn’t take off your overcoat, and oh, pray don’t throw away your letters and things in the snow like that, and tear out your pockets by the roots! Please, please don’t trample over your overcoat and put your feet through the parcels. I do hate to hear you swearing at your little boy, with that peculiar grumble in your voice. Don’t—please don’t tear your clothes so savagely."
(11)Suddenly the man gave a grunt of joy, and drew his hand up from inside the lining of his coat.
(12)"I’ve got it," he cried. "Here you are! " Then he brought it out under the light.
(13)It was a toothpick.
(14)Yielding to the impulse of the moment I pushed him under the wheels of a trolley-car and ran. [br] The purpose of the first paragraph is _____.
选项
A、to offer some background information
B、to arouse readers’ interest towards simple things
C、to introduce an overall idea of the following passage
D、to link the preceding part to the present one
答案
C
解析
根据题干直接定位到第1段。联系下文可知,第1段开篇点题,提出借火柴这件事情并非想象中那么简单,随后作者以亲身经历说明这个观点,体现了“先总后分”的方法,后列具体事例的写作结构。故选C。第1段指出,凡是有过相同经历的人都会乐于起誓证明我前段时间的经历,据此可知该段的作用在于引出某个事例说明作者的观点,而不是提供背景知识或引起读者兴趣,排除A、B。本文故事情节完整,没有痕迹显示可能存在前文,排除D。
