Question

   On Well La Paz Plaza is one of the most popular tourist sights in the world in South America. And the only scenery spot is its infamous San Pedro prison (監(jiān)獄) .

  There are around 1,500 prisoners in the prison,80 percent of whom are drug offences (販賣毒品罪) . However,besides the high walls and the main gate,there are no prison bars. Even most prisoners’ families live in the prison with them.

  Differing from most of prisons in the world,its prisoners (囚犯) have to buy cells themselves. Prices change according to what section you want. There are eight sections in San Pedro. The cell blocks in rich sections have tiled floors,cable TVs,and DVD players. Some of them even have an open balcony (陽 臺) . While cells in the poorer sections are designed for one person,but often house five. The prisoners lie on dirty mattresses (床墊) .

   The cheapest cell will cost around £100,but the cells which look like actual apartments can sell for as much as £3,000.

   Besides the cells,the food in prison can also make your life here easier on condition that you have enough money. Instead of a large pot of unappetizing-looking (引不起食欲的) soup,you can buy fried chicken with chips or rice. There are many restaurants around the prison.

    Everything that prisoners need can be bought from sellers. They own shops selling fruit and vegetables,soft drinks and other items such as toilet paper. Some prisoners also sell handicrafts (手工藝品) they have made or pictures they’ve drawn.

文章是一篇說明文。拉巴斯廣場是世界上最受歡迎的 一處觀光勝地，它唯一的景點就是其惡名昭著的圣佩德羅監(jiān) 獄。與其他地方的監(jiān)獄不同，沒人會給這個監(jiān)獄中的囚犯分 配牢房，他們必須自己“買房”。

詳析

1. A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段可知，惡名昭著的圣佩德羅

監(jiān)獄使得在南美的拉巴斯廣場成為了最受歡迎的景點之一

2. B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的首句“ Differing frommost of the prisons in the world,its prisoners have to buy cells them selves.”可知，與其他地方的監(jiān)獄不同 的是，犯人必須自己“買牢房”。

3. C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段與第四段可知，“富人區(qū)”的監(jiān)獄裝有瓷磚地板、有線電視和DVD播放機，有 些甚至還設有陽臺；聯(lián)系第四段的“ but the cellswhich look like actual apartments can sell for as much as £ 3.000.”可以推知，“富人區(qū)”的監(jiān)獄牢房售價 可能到3.000英鎊，故A、B、D項正確；根據(jù)第三段 的“While cells in the poorer sections are designed for one person,but often house five. ” 可知，“貧民區(qū)”的 監(jiān)獄，雖然是單人間，卻常常住著五個人。

4. C詞義猜測題。后文提到了犯人的飲食，可推知句意:除此

之外，如果你的錢足夠多，這里的食物也可以讓你活得 很舒坦。故該詞組意為“如果”。

5. D細節(jié)理解題。通讀全文可知，圣佩德羅監(jiān)獄現(xiàn)有大約1.500名閃犯；舒適度不同的牢房的價格；犯人 在監(jiān)獄里面的飲食與可以購買到的食品都提到了， 只有D項犯人的服裝沒有提到。

障礙句分析

1. Everything that prisoners need can be bought from sellers.閃犯可以從供應商那兒買到一切所需物品。

句中的that prisoners need是定語從句，修飾前面的先行 詞everything,that是關(guān)系代詞;can be bought意為“被買到”，是含有情態(tài)動詞的被動語態(tài)，表示主語是動作的承受 者。含有情態(tài)動詞的被動語態(tài)的結(jié)構(gòu)是:情態(tài)動詞+ be +動 詞的過去分詞

2. Some prisoners also sell handicrafts they have made or pictures they ’ ve drawn.有些閃犯也會賣點自己制作的手工藝品或繪制的圖畫。

they have made是定語從句，修飾前面的先行詞 handicrafts ,省略了關(guān)系代詞that; they ’ ve drawn也是定語從 句，修飾前面的先行詞pictures ,省略了關(guān)系代詞that。
