(1) Martin heaved a sigh of relief when the door closed behind the laundryman. He was becoming anti-social. Daily he found it a severer strain to be decent with people. Their presence
perturbed
him, and the effort of conversation irritated him. They made him restless, and no sooner was he in contact with them than he was casting about for excuses to get rid of them.
(2) He did not proceed to attack his mail, and for a half hour he lolled in his chair, doing nothing, while no more than vague, half-formed thoughts occasionally filtered through his intelligence, or rather, at wide intervals, themselves constituted the flickering of his intelligence.
(3) He roused himself and began glancing through his mail. There were a dozen requests for autographs (亲笔签名)—he knew them at sight; there were professional begging letters; and there were letters from cranks, ranging from the man with a working model of perpetual motion, and the man who demonstrated that the surface of the earth was the inside of a hollow sphere, to the man seeking financial aid to purchase the Peninsula of Lower California for the purpose of communist colonization. There were letters from women seeking to know him, and over one such he smiled, for enclosed was her receipt for pew-rent (教堂座位费) , sent as evidence of her good faith and as proof of her respectability.
(4) Editors and publishers contributed to the daily heap of letters, the former on their knees for his manuscripts, the latter on their knees for his books—his poor disdained manuscripts that had kept all he possessed in pawn (典当) for so many dreary months in order to find them in postage. There were unexpected checks for English serial rights and for advance payments on foreign translations. His English agent announced the sale of German translation rights in three of his books, and informed him that Swedish editions, from which he could expect nothing because Sweden was not a party to the Berne Convention, were already on the market. Then there was a nominal request for his permission for a Russian translation, that country being likewise outside the Berne Convention.
(5) He turned to the huge bundle of clippings which had come in from his press bureau, and read about himself and his vogue, which had become a furore. All his creative output had been flung to the public in one magnificent sweep. That seemed to account for it. He had taken the public off its feet, the way Kipling (英国作家吉卜林) had, that time when he lay near to death and all the mob, animated by a mob-mind thought, began suddenly to read him. Martin remembered how that same world-mob, having read him and acclaimed (称赞) him and not understood him in the least, had, abruptly, a few months later, flung itself upon him and torn him to pieces. Martin grinned at the thought. Who was he that he should not be similarly treated in a few more months? Well, he would fool the mob. He would be away, in the South Seas, building his grass house, trading for pearls and copra (干椰子肉). jumping reefs in frail outriggers, catching sharks and bonitas (狐鲣鱼), hunting wild goats among the cliffs of the valley that lay next to the valley of Taiohae.
(6) In the moment of that thought the desperateness of his situation dawned upon him. He saw, cleared eyed, that he was in the Valley of the Shadow. All the life that was in him was fading, fainting, making toward death.
(7) He realized how much he slept, and how much he desired to sleep. Of old, he had hated sleep. It had robbed him of precious moments of living. Four hours of sleep in the twenty-four had meant being robbed of four hours of life. How he had grudged sleep! Now it was life he grudged. Life was not good; its taste in his mouth was without tang (浓烈的味道), and bitter. This was his peril. Life that did not yearn toward life was in fair way toward ceasing. Some remote instinct for preservation stirred in him, and he knew he must get away. He glanced about the room, and the thought of packing was burdensome. Perhaps it would be better to leave that to the last. In the meantime he might be getting an outfit. (本文选自 Martin Eden)
According to Para. 3, Martin could spot straight away the letters from those who________.
选项
A、asked for his personal signature
B、looked for economic assistance
C、came up with unusual ideas
D、intended to make his acquaintance
答案
A
解析
细节题原文第三段第二句提到,有一打索取他签名的信——他看一眼就知道这些信的内容;有职业性的求助信;还有一些信来自想法古怪的人。该句由三个分句组成,分别介绍了他收到的三种信,其中第一个分句直接指出,他一眼就能识别索取他签名的信件,题干中的spot straight away是对该句第一个分句中的knew them at sight的同义转述,故答案为A。该句的第二、三个分句分别提到职业性的求助信和想法古怪者寄来的信,但原文并未提及马丁是否能一眼识别出这两种信件,故排除B和C;该段第三句提到也有一些信来自想要结识他的女性,而不是打算结识他的所有人,并且原文也未提及马丁是否能一眼识别出这种信件,故排除D。
