I am running down an alley with a stolen avocado, having climbed over a white brick fence and into the forbidden backyard of a carefully manicured estate at the corner of El Dorado and Crescent Drive in Beverly Hills, California. I have snatched a rock-hard Fuerte avocado from one of the three avocado trees near the fence, I have been told that many ferocious dogs patrol the grounds; they are killers, these dogs. I am defying them. They are nowhere to be found, except in my mind, and I’m out and gone and in the alley with their growls directing my imagination. I am running with fear and exhilaration, beginning a period of summer.
Emerging from the shield of the alley I cut out into the open. Summer is about running, and I am running, protected by distance from the dogs. At the corner of Crescent Drive and Lomitas, I spot Bobby Tornitzer on a bike. I shout "Tornitzer!" He turns his head. His bike wobbles. An automobile moving rapidly catches Tornitzer’s back wheel. Tornitzer is thrown high into the air and onto the concrete sidewalk of Crescent Drive. The driver, a woman with gray hair, swirls from the car hysterically and hovers noisily over Tornitzer, who will not survive the accident. I hold the avocado to my chest and stand, frozen, across the street. I am shivering in the heat, and sink to my knees. It is approximately 3: 30 in the afternoon, it is June 21, 1946. In seven days, I will be 8 years old.
The main image in paragraph 2 is of______.
选项
A、Tornitzer riding his bike
B、exhilaration turning into horror
C、the 7-year-old emerging from the alley
D、the hysteria of the woman driver
答案
B
解析
根据第二段的内容可知,小男孩偷梨后恐惧并兴奋地跑离现场,十分高兴,此时他遇到了Bobby Tornitzer正骑着自行车,他大喊Tornitzer,却目睹Tornitzer遭遇车祸,男孩一下子就呆住了,在酷热中打着寒战。由此看出,第二段主要是描述男孩从兴奋到害怕的转变。因此B项为正确答案。
