Passage One
(1) He had scarcely washed himself, and made everything tidy, by emptying the basin out of the window, agreeably to the Jew’s directions, when the Dodger returned: accompanied by a very sprightly young friend, whom Oliver had seen smoking on the previous night, and who was now formally introduced to him as Charley Bates.
(2) "Well," said the Jew, glancing slyly at Oliver, and addressing himself to the Dodger, "I hope you’ve been at work this morning, my dears?"
(3) "Hard," replied the Dodger.
(4) "As nails," added Charley Bates.
(5) "Good boys, good boys!" said the Jew. "What have you got, Dodger?"
(6) "A couple of pocket-books," replied that young gentleman.
(7) "Lined?" inquired the Jew, with eagerness.
(8) "Pretty well," replied the Dodger, producing two pocket-books; one green, and the other red.
(9) "Not so heavy as they might be," said the Jew, after looking at the insides carefully; "but very neat and nicely made. Ingenious workman, ain’t he, Oliver?"
(10) "Very indeed, sir," said Oliver. At which Mr. Charley Bates laughed uproariously; very much to the amazement of Oliver, who saw nothing to laugh at, in anything that had passed.
(11) "And what have you got, my dear?" said Fagin to Charley Bates.
(12) "Wipes," replied Master Bates; at the same time producing four pocket-handkerchiefs.
(13) "Well," said the Jew, inspecting them closely; "they’re very good ones, very. You haven’t marked them well, though, Charley; so the marks shall be picked out with a needle, and we’ll teach Oliver how to do it. Shall us, Oliver, eh? Ha! Ha! Ha! "
(14) "If you please, sir," said Oliver.
(15) "You’d like to be able to make pocket-handkerchiefs as easy as Charley Bates, wouldn’t you, my dear?" said the Jew.
(16) "Very much, indeed, if you’ll teach me, sir," replied Oliver.
(17) Master Bates saw something so exquisitely ludicrous in this reply, that he burst into another laugh; which laugh, meeting the coffee he was drinking, and carrying it down some wrong channel, very nearly terminated in his premature suffocation.
(18) " He is so jolly green!" said Charley when he recovered, as an apology to the company for his impolite behaviour.
(19) The Dodger said nothing, but he smoothed Oliver’s hair over his eyes, and said he’d know better, by and by; upon which the old gentleman, observing Oliver’s colour mounting, changed the subject by asking whether there had been much of a crowd at the execution that morning. This made him wonder more and more; for it was plain from the replies of the two boys that they had both been there; and Oliver naturally wondered how they could possibly have found time to be so very industrious.
(20) When the breakfast was cleared away; the merry old gentleman and the two boys played at a very curious and uncommon game, which was performed in this way. The merry old gentleman, placing a snuff-box in one pocket of his trousers, a note-case in the other, and a watch in his waistcoat pocket, with a guard-chain round his neck, and sticking a mock diamond pin in his shirt; buttoned his coat tight round him, and putting his spectacle-case and handkerchief in his pockets, trotted up and down the room with a stick, in imitation of the manner in which old gentlemen walk about the streets any hour in the day. Sometimes he stopped at the fire-place, and sometimes at the door, making believe that he was staring with all his might into shop-windows. At such times, he would look constantly round him, for fear of mieves, and would keep slapping all his pockets in turn, to see that he hadn’t lost anything, in such a very funny and natural manner, that Oliver laughed till the tears ran down his face. All this time, the two boys followed him closely about: getting out of his sight, so nimbly, every time he turned round, that it was impossible to follow their motions. At last, the Dodger trod upon his toes, or ran upon his boot accidently, while Charley Bates stumbled up against him behind; and in that one moment they took from him, with the most extraordinary rapidity, snuff-box, note-case, watch-guard, chain, shirt-pin, pocket-handkerchief, even the spectacle-case. If the old gentleman felt a hand in any one of his pockets, he cried out where it was; and then the game began all over again.
(21) When this game had been played a great many times, Charley Bates expressed his opinion that it was time to pad the hoof. This, it occurred to Oliver, must be French for going out; for directly afterwards, the Dodger, and Charley went away together, having been kindly furnished by the amiable old Jew with money to spend.
(22) "There, my dear," said Fagin. "That’s a pleasant life, isn’t it? They have gone out for the day. "
(23) "Have they done work, sir?" inquired Oliver.
(24) "Yes," said the Jew, "that is, unless they should unexpectedly come across any, when they are out; and they won’t neglect it, if they do, my dear, depend upon it. Make them your models, my dear. Make them your models," tapping the fire-shovel on the hearth to add force to his words; "do everything they bid you, and take their advice in all matters—especially the Dodger’s, my dear. He’ll be a great man himself, and will make you one too, if you take pattern by him. —Is my handkerchief hanging out of my pocket, my dear?" said the Jew, stopping short.
(25) "Yes, sir," said Oliver.
(26) "See if you can take it out, without my feeling it; as you saw them do, when we were at play this morning. "
(27) Oliver held up the bottom of the pocket with one hand, as he had seen the Dodger hold it, and drew the handkerchief lightly out of it with the other.
(28) "Is it gone?" cried the Jew.
(29) "Here it is, sir," said Oliver, showing it in his hand.
(30) "You’re a clever boy, my dear," said the playful old gentleman, patting Oliver on the head approvingly. "I never saw a sharper lad. Here’s a shilling for you. If you go on, in this way, you’ll be the greatest man of the time. And now come here, and I’ll show you how to take the marks out of the handkerchiefs. "
(31) Oliver wondered what picking the old gentleman’s pocket in play, had to do with his chances of being a great man. But, thinking that the Jew, being so much his senior, must know best, he followed him quietly to the table, and was soon deeply involved in his new study.
Which of the following words is NOT used literally?
选项
A、needle (Para. 13).
B、channel (Para. 17).
C、colour (Para. 19).
D、hoof (Para.21).
答案
D
解析
语义题。根据各选项定位至相应的段落。第十三段中,费金说要用针将手帕上的标记挑掉,可见needle一词在此处是其字面意思,故排除[A];第十七段中提到咖啡走岔了道,即从错误的管道喝了下去,可知channel也是其字面意思,故排除[B];第十九段中的colour指的是奥立弗的脸色,是其字面意思,故也排除[C];第二十一段中的hoof原指蹄子,在这里说的是人,可见不是其字面意思,故[D]为正确答案。
