[答案]

本文是美国著名短篇小说家O·

Henry的著名短篇小说《警察与赞美诗》的一段节选，讲述了主人公——一个名叫苏菲的人，整天无所事事，一心想进监狱，而屡次失败的经历。

5．C。

词义推断题。

依据第一个事例：

苏菲砸碎了一家商店的玻璃，当着警察的面说是自己干的，并让警察将他带走，可知他想去的地方是监狱，也就是违法的人被送去的地方。

文章最后一段提到的“Arrestseemedbutarosydream.TheIslandseemedveryfaraway.”也是暗示，故C项正确。

6．A。

推理判断题。

由文章可以看出，商店的玻璃是Soapy自己砸的，可知B、C两项错误；

而D项看警察追捕赶车的人也不符合他的心理，而且正是那个人使他的计划泡汤的，因此D项也不对。

7．B。

句意判断题。

依据下文的Now,getbusyandcallacop可知，Soapy让服务员找警察，很明显是在说自己身无分文，而且后文还提及他因此被揍了一顿。

8．C。

由文章最后一段的最后三句内容可以知道，他之所以去餐馆大吃一通，就是想因不付账而引起警察的注意。
