　　TEXT FOUR

　　After receiving a six-year prison sentence on July 31st, Sanjay Dutt, an Indian film star, begged for bail while he appealed against it. “Sir, I made a mistake,�?he said. But the judge said no. Mr. Dutt's crime—to have procured two guns from Muslim mobsters who were responsible for bomb attacks in Mumbai in 1993—was serious. Yet he urged Mr. Dutt, 48, to return to the silver screen after serving his sentence. “Don't get perturbed,�?he said. “You have many years to go and work, like the 'Mackenna's Gold' actor Gregory Peck.�?/p>

　　Thus ended one of the longest song-and-dances in India's criminal legal history. Mr. Dutt was convicted last year, having already spent 16 months in jail. He was acquitted of direct involvement in the bombings, which killed 257 people. They were carried out in 1993 in revenge for the demolition of an ancient mosque in the Hindu holy city of Ayodhya by Hindu fanatics, and subsequent Hindu-Muslim rioting. Some 100 people have been found guilty of the bombing. They have all been sentenced in the past three months, including a dozen to death and 20 to life- imprisonment. But the alleged masterminds of the attacks are still at large. One of them, a Mumbai gangster called Dawood Ibrahim, is alleged by Indian officials to be linked to al-Qaeda and to be hiding in Pakistan.

　　Despite the bleak immediate outlook, Mr. Dutt, who made his name playing tough-guy anti-heroes, is unlikely to find his career much damaged. The son of two of Bollywood's biggest stars, a Hindu-Muslim couple, he has garnered enormous sympathy for his suffering. Many Indians believe his claim that he wanted the guns to protect his family during the riots. Other Bollywood stars express support for Mr. Dutt as passionately as their Hollywood peers worry about global warming.

　　Then again, Bollywood is rather shady. Gangsters and crooked politicians have long laundered ill-gotten money through film productions. Indeed Mr. Dutt was investigated over money-laundering allegations in 2001. Other recent Bollywood stars to grace the courts include Monica Bedi, an actress convicted of dealing in fake passports. Her accomplice was another Mumbai gangster, Abu Salem, who delivered the guns to Mr. Dutt, and is currently awaiting trial for his alleged part in the 1993 bombings.

　　An even bigger Bollywood star, Salman Khan, is appealing against two prison sentences of five years and one year for poaching respectively an endangered antelope and two gazelles. A Bollywood film about the case has been scheduled. Mr. Khan has also had to battle a four-year-old charge that he recklessly drove his car over five people sleeping on a pavement in Mumbai, killing one of them.

　　Bollywood's biggest star, Amitabh Bachchan, also known as “the Big B�? is, in contrast, venerated. Where Mr. Khan is vain and brash, he has a reputation for humility and Hindu piety. But even this has been imperilled of late by revelations that Mr. Bachchan and his film-star son, Abhishek, bought valuable plots of land reserved for farmers. They registered themselves thus after being allotted farmland by a former government of the state of Uttar Pradesh, led by the Samajwadi party. Mr. Bachchan is close to one of the party's leading lights, Amar Singh, a famed socialite. Mr. Bachchan's wife, Jaya, an actress, is now also a Samajwadi politician.

　　[�{�案]C

　　[隑ֺ��p�L��] ☆☆☆☆

　　[分析]�l�节题。本题有一定的�q�h��性，要结合上下文来看。Dutt被判六年监禁�Q�他现在在争取保释，在这�U�情况下�Q�法官说不行�Q�紧接着文章���做了说明，Dutt所犯罪行比较严重。因此，�{�案应选C。而具有迷惑性的是，法官说不�q�句话前面是Dutt说自��q��了一个错�Q�如果考生���这两句话错误地认�ؓ是连在一��L��话，���容易选错�?/p>

　　2. The comparison of Bollywood stars�?support for Dutt to Holleywood’s worries about global warming implies_____2.���Bollywood明星们对Dutt的支持和Hollywood影星对全球变暖的忧虑相比较暗�C�Z��_____

　　[分析] 推理题。文章第三段主要讲述了公众对于Dutt的同情和支持�Q�在提到Bollywood明星们对他的支持�Ӟ��说他们表辑֯�他的支持���好像好莱坞影星们表辑֯�全球变暖的担忧一栗���而好莱坞影星们对全球变暖的担忧�ƈ不像�U�学安���么真切，大多数情况下只是一�U�态度的表�C����已�Q�可见Bollywood明星们对Dutt的支持也只是一�U�比较温和的支持而已�Q�因此，选项B为正���答案�?/p>

　　3. The phrase “grace the courts�?(Line 3, Paragraph 4) most probably means_____3. 短语“grace the courts�?�W�四�D늬�三行)最有可能的意思是_____

　　[A] present oneself in the courts.[A] 出现在法庭上�?/p>

　　[D] show respect to the courts[D] 向法庭表�C�尊重�?/p>

　　[�{�案]A

　　[隑ֺ��p�L��] �?/p>

　　[分析]猜词题。结合上下文来推断这个短语的意思，文中提到�q�期其他的这�c�Bollywood影星有Monica�Q�她被指控从事假护照交易。这是从Dutt转而描写其他媄星，可以看出�q�些影星都被指控�Q�但�q�没有完全证实。那么这个短语应该是受到法庭的审讯，而grace有“��……增��d��彩”的意思，引申来看�Q�意思应该是“在法庭出现”，�{�案为A�?/p>

　　4. Accroding to the passage, the following adjectives can be used to describe Mr. Khan except_____4.�Ҏ(gu��)��本文�Q�除了_____之外以下的�Ş容词都可�?/p>

　　用来形容Khan 先生

　　[B] vain and brash.[B] 自负的、无�C�的。�?/p>

　　[C] reckless and mindless.[C] 鲁莽的、愚�W�无知的

　　[D] cruel.[D] �D�忍的�?/p>

　　[�{�案]A

　　[隑ֺ��p�L��] ☆☆

　　[分析]�l�节题。本文第五段和第六段有关于Khan先生的介�l�，�W�五�D�介�l�他因捕杀�Ȓ��(f��)灭绝的动物而被判处监禁�Q�他�q�曾鲁莽地压伤几个在�����道上睡觉的�h�Q�这两点可以说明他是�D�忍的，也比较鲁莽。而第六段提到他是��Z��和Bachchan作比较。文中提刎ͼ�W(xu��)here Mr. Khan is vain and brash, he has a reputation for humility and Hindu piety. 该句子是一个�{折句�Q�主句中的he指的是Bachchan而不是Khan�Q�因此，Khan是自负、无�C�的�Q�而Bachchan是谦逊的、虔诚的。因此，�{�案为A�?/p>

　　5. The best title of this passage can be _____5. 文章最好的题目是_____

　　[A] The Shady Bollywood.[A] 阴暗的Bollywood�?/p>

　　[D] Bollywood or Bullywood?[D] Bollywood�q�是Bullywood(注：bully为“欺凌弱���者�?

　　[�{�案]D

　　[隑ֺ��p�L��] ☆☆☆☆

　　[分析] ��L��题。这���文章由Khan先生的案例出发，介绍了Bollywood一些明星触犯法律的情况�Q�选项B只是说明了文章介�l�的一部分内容�Q�不能作为题�?而A、C、D都可以作为题目，但是三个题目中D最为�Ş象，是最好的题目�?/p>

　　参考译文：

　　7�?1日，印度影星Sanjay Dutt被判处六�q�监���，他提起上诉同时要求保释。“先生，我犯了个错，”他�q�样说。但法官说不行。Dutt先生的罪行比较严重，他从�I�斯林匪徒那里拿��C��支枪�Q�而这些匪徒是1993�q�Mumbai爆炸袭击的主犯。不�q�，法官规劝48岁的Dutt先生服完行后重返银屏。“别烦恼�Q�”他��_��“你前面的�\�q�长着呢，���像 ‘Mackenna’s Gold’的演员Gregory Peck一栗����?/p>

　　�q�样���q��束了印度刑事法律历史上最长的歌舞剧。去�q�Dutt被宣告有�|�，已经在监狱服�?6个月。他被���免直接参与爆�怺�件的�|�名�Q�这些爆�怺�件炸��M��257人。爆�怺�件发生于1993�q�_��是�ؓ了报复印度教狂热教徒毁坏了印度圣城Ayodhya一座古老的清真��Z��及随后的印度—穆斯林暴�ؕ。到目前已有100人因该爆�怺�件被判有�|�，�q�且已在�q�去三个月里�q�行了量刑，其中十几个�h被判处死刑，20个�h�l���n监禁。但是这些袭�ȝ��所谓的�{�划者仍焉���遥法外�Q�印度官员断�a�其中一个名叫Dawood Ibrahim的Mumbai歹徒与基地组�l�有关系�Q�目前藏匿在巴基斯坦�?/p>

　　���管Dutt先生短期的前景看��h��比较黯��E�Q�但他已�l�因扮演���汉式的�q�_��主角而出名，不会觉得自己的事业会因此被毁坏。作��Z��个Bollywood最大的影星、印度—穆斯林夫妻的儿子，他已�l��ؓ自己的遭遇攒够了同情。许多印度�h都相信他所说的是�ؓ了在暴�ؕ中保护自��q��家庭才要枪支的。其他Bollywood明星也对Dutt先生表示支持�Q�程度不亚于他们好莱坞同行对全球变暖问题的担心�?/p>

　　不过�Q�Bollywood却是阴暗的。长旉���以来许多匪徒和无�ȝ��政客一直在通过�?sh��)�?/a>业洗黑钱。实际上�Q?001�q�Dutt先生���因为洗钱受到过调查�Q�其他在法庭出现的Bollywood明星�q�有Monica Bedi�Q�她被控从事假护照交易。其同伙是另外一个Mumbai 匪徒叫Abu Salem, ���是此�h���枪支交�l�Dutt先生�Q�目前他因被指控参加�?993�q�的爆炸事�g而在�{�待审判�?/p>

　　一位更有名的Bollywood明星SalmanKhan目前正在提�v上诉�Q�他因偷猎濒临绝灭的���羊和瞪���分别被判一个五�q�监���，一个一�q�监���。目前关于这��h��子的一个Bollywood�?sh��)媄已经在策划中。Khan先生�q�得������׃��前的一个已�l�进行了四年的指控反抗，当时他鲁莽地驾�R压过了五个�h在�h行道上睡觉的人，其中一人死亡�?/p>

　　相反�Q�Bollywood 最著名的明星Amitabh Bachchan�Q�一般�h都称“大B�?却受到崇敬。Khan自负而又无礼�Q�而他但却因谦虚和印度教的虔诚而出名。但是目前有人揭发B(t��i)achchan先生和他的媄星儿子Abhishek购买了本来预留给农民的宝贵土圎ͼ�因此他们也处于危险境地。Samajwadi领导的前Uttar Pradesh州政府分配给他们�q�些土地后，他们���p��行了注册。Bachchan和该党一位著名的领袖Amar Singh�Q�一位前�C�交名流交往颇密。而Bachchan先生的演员妻子Jaya现在也是Samajwadi政治家�?/p>
