(1) Ralph felt a kind of affectionate reverence for the conch (海螺), even though he had fished the thing out of the lagoon himself. He faced the place of assembly and put the conch to his lips. The others were waiting for this and came straight away. The place of assembly filled quickly: Jack, Simon, Maurice, most of the hunters, on Ralph’s right: the rest on the left, under the sun. Piggy came and stood outside the triangle. This indicated that he wished to listen, but would not speak: and Piggy intended it as a gesture of disapproval.
(2) "The thing is: we need an assembly. "
(3) No one said anything but the faces turned to Ralph were intent. He flourished the conch. He had learnt as a practical business that fundamental statements like this had to be said at least twice, before everyone understood them. One had to sit, attracting all eyes to the conch, and drop words like heavy round stones among the little groups that crouched or squatted. He was searching his mind for simple words so that even the littluns would understand what the assembly was about.
(4) "We need an assembly. Not for fun. But to put things straight. "
(5) He paused for a moment and automatically pushed back his hair. Piggy tiptoed to the triangle, his ineffectual protest made, and joined the others. Ralph went on.
(6) "We have lots of assemblies. Everybody enjoys speaking and being together. We decide things. But they don’t get done. We were going to have water brought from the stream and left in those coconut shells under fresh leaves. So it was, for a few days. Now there’s no water. The shells are dry. People drink from the river. "
(7) There was a murmur of assent. He licked his lips.
(8) "Then there’s huts. Shelters. "
(9) The murmur swelled again and died away.
(10) "You mostly sleep in shelters. Tonight, except for Samneric up by the fire, you’ll all sleep there. Who built the shelters?"
(11) Clamor rose at once. Everyone had built the shelters. Ralph had to wave the conch once more.
(12) " Wait a minute! I mean, who built all three? We all built the first one, four of us the second one, and me’n Simon built the last one over there. That’s why it’s so tottery (摇摇欲坠的). No. Don’t laugh. That shelter might fall down if the rain comes back. We’ll need those shelters then. "
(13) Piggy held out his hands for the conch but Ralph shook his head. His speech was planned, point by point. He paused, feeling for his next point. "And another thing. "
(14) Someone called out. "Too many things. "
(15) There came a mutter of agreement. Ralph overrode them.
(16) " And another thing. We nearly set the whole island on fire. And we waste time, rolling rocks, and making little cooking fires. Now I say this and make it a rule, because I’m chief. We won’t have a fire anywhere but on the mountain. Ever. "
(17) There was a row immediately. Boys stood up and shouted and Ralph shouted back.
(18) " Because if you want a fire to cook fish or crab, you can jolly well go up the mountain. That way we’ll be certain. "
(19) Hands were reaching for the conch in the light of the setting sun. He held on and leapt on the trunk.
(20) "All this I meant to say. Now I’ve said it. You voted me for chief. Now you do what I say. "
(21) They quieted, slowly, and at last were seated again. Jack stood up, scowling in the gloom, and held out his hands.
(22) "I haven’t finished yet. "
(23) "But you’ve talked and talked!"
(24) "I’ve got the conch. "
(25) Jack sat down, grumbling.
(26) "Then the last thing. This is what people can talk about. "
(27) He waited till the platform was very still.
(28) "Things are breaking up. I don’t understand why. We began well: we were happy. And then— Then people started getting frightened. "
(29) A murmur, almost a moan, rose and passed away. Ralph went on, abruptly.
(30) "But that’s littluns’ talk. We’ll get that straight. We’ve got to talk about this fear and decide there’s nothing in it. I’m frightened myself, sometimes: only that’s nonsense! Like bogies. Then, when we’ve decided, we can start again and be careful about things like the fire. " A picture of three boys walking along the bright beach flitted through his mind. "And be happy. "
(31) Ceremonially, Ralph laid the conch on the trunk beside him as a sign that the speech was over. What sunlight reached them was level.
Which of the following can describe the relationship between Ralph and his peers Piggy and Jack?
选项
A、Competitive and familiar.
B、Peaceful and remote.
C、Cooperative and intimate.
D、Tense and hostile.
答案
A
解析
推断题。原文首段至第十三段中涉及猪崽子,他在集会开始的时候在外围站着,他想要听,但并不打算说话,他的姿态说明他对于拉尔夫的做法是不同意的;而到第五段他逐渐走进了其他孩子中间,放弃了自己的抗议;但第十三段他又想要说话。杰克则是在第二十一段要求接过海螺来发言的,此前他一直坐着在孩子们中间参加集会;第三十段提到拉尔夫想到了三个男孩一起走在海滩上的情景,说明他们彼此熟悉,有过愉快的时光。由此可见他们的关系是既相互熟悉又彼此竞争的,故A为答案。从上述关系可知他们并不是相安无事,也并非亲密无间,也不能确定是否相互合作,因此同时排除B和C;虽然他们之间似乎存在意见不合的情况,也彼此竞争,但还没有发展到敌对的状态,故排除D。
