We all know that a magician does not really depend on "magic" to perform his tricks, but on his ability to act at great speed. 【26】______ , this does not prevent us from 【27】______ watching a magician produce rabbits from a hat. One of the greatest magician of all time was Harry Houdini, who mastered the art of 【28】______ He could 【29】______ himself from the tight test knots in seconds. 【30】______ no one really knows how he did this, there is no doubt 【31】______ he had made a close 【32】______ of every type of lock ever invented. He liked to carry a small steel needle like toolstrapped to his leg and he used this in 【33】______ of a key.
Houdini once asked the Chicago police to 【34】______ him in prison. They 【35】______ him in chains and locked him up, but he freed himself 【36】______ an instant. The police 【37】______ him of having used a tool and locked him up again. This time he wore no clothes and there were chains 【27】______ his neck, waist, wrists, and legs; but he again escaped in a few minutes. Houdini had probably hidden his "needle" in a wax like 【39】______ and dropped it on the floor in the 【15】______ . 【16】______ he went past, he stepped on it so that it stuck 【40】______ the bottom of his foot.

Just in one minute Houdini had swum 【43】______ the surface.
选项
A、Therefore
B、Consequently
C、However
D、Likewise
答案
C
解析
本题考查的是对文章的理解。文章第一句提到“我们都知道魔术师并不是靠魔法而是靠速度快来表演魔术的”,而本句说“这并不会使我们不喜欢观看魔术师把兔子从帽子里变出来的戏法”。显然这两句之间存在一种转折关系。therefore和 consequently都表示因果关系;however表示转折关系;likewise表示相似关系。所以本题的正确答案是C项。
