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 The possibility was first suggested when historical documents appeared to show that Billy the Kid had been promised a pardon in return for testifying in a murder case.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 has been dead for 130 years.
B、He was an infamous criminal.
C、His life was full of romanticism.
D、The evidence didn’t support the pardon.
答案
D
解析
支持者们发起宣传活动要求赦免Billy the Kid,但是新墨西哥州州长Bill Richardson进行了广泛的调查之后拒绝了该要求。州长称“这种浪漫主义精神很吸引人,但是证据不能支持这种说法(but the evidence didn’t support the idea)。”故选答案D项。
