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 The possibility was first suggested when historical documents appeared to show that Billy the Kid had been promised a pardon in return for testifying in a murder case.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. [3]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. [4]"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。
