Hugh Troy, a well-known artist, was a very interesting and clever person who spent most of his life playing tricks for the joy of it.
One winter, while a student at Cornell University in New York, Troy got hold of a very old and ugly wastebas-ket with a real rbinoceros(犀牛) foot as its base. He filled it with metal weights and tied 30 feet of clothes-line to either side. Later one night he and a friend carried it out onto campus, pulling the lines straight between them. Every few feet they would lower it into the snow, their own footprints so far away as to raise no suspicions(怀疑).
The next morning someone noticed the prints and invited learned professors to come and have a look. Excitedly, they followed the rhinoceros tracks. Then they were led onto the ice covering Beeb Lake, which connected to where the school got its drinking water. There the tracks ended in a huge hole.
It was said that half the population of Cornell stopped drinking tap water. Those who continued to drink it insisted mat it tasted like rhinoceros. [br] Why did Troy fill the basket with metal weights?
选项
A、Make it easy to tie the lines.
B、Get rid of these useless things.
C、Make it heavy enough for prints.
D、Support the base of the old basket.
答案
C
解析
文章的第二段说他用金属码装满了这个废纸篓,并在两边系上了30英尺的凉衣绳,读者可以从上下文的句子“Every few feet they would lower it into the snow’‘推断出金属的作用是为了更好的印痕迹。故正确的答案为C。
