真题研练11
Task 1：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
(2016·全国Ⅲ，B)On one of her trips to New York several years ago，Eudora Welty decided to take a couple of New York friends out to dinner.They settled in at a comfortable East Side cafe and within minutes，another customer was approaching their table.
“Hey，aren't you from Mississippi？” the elegant，whitehaired writer remembered being asked by the stranger.“I'm from Mississippi too.”
Without a second thought，the woman joined the Welty party.When her dinner partner showed up，she also pulled up a chair.
“They began telling me all the news of Mississippi，” Welty said.“I didn't know what my New York friends were thinking.”
Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine.By the time the group got up to leave，it was pouring outside.Welty's new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab.Heading back downtown toward her hotel，her bigcity friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi state reunion(团聚)．
“My friends said：‘Now we believe your stories，’” Welty added.“And I said：‘Now you know.These are the people that make me write them.’”
Sitting on a sofa in her room，Welty，a slim figure in a simple gray dress，looked pleased with this explanation.
“I don't make them up，” she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years.“I don't have to.”
Beauticians，bartenders，piano players and people with purple hats，Welty's people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends，from walks through the streets of her native Jackson，Miss.，from conversations overheard on a bus.It annoys Welty that，at 78，her left ear has now given out.Sometimes，sitting on a bus or a train，she hears only a fragment(片段) of a particularly interesting story.

Task 5：攻克长难句(分析句子结构，尝试翻译成汉语)
1．Heading back downtown toward her hotel，her bigcity friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi.
分析：本句为复合句，逗号前的Heading back downtown toward her hotel为现在分词短语作时间状语，定语从句 “that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi state reunion(团聚)”在句中修饰先行词the turn of events。
译文：在返回市区宾馆的途中，韦尔蒂的大都市的朋友们惊讶于他们活动的转变，他们的聚会早已由纽约式的宴会变成了密西西比人的地方性团聚。
2．Beauticians，bartenders，piano players and people with purple hats，Welty's people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends，from walks through the streets of her native Jackson，Miss.，from conversations overheard on a bus.

分析：句中的“Beauticians，bartenders，piano players and people with purple hats”与“Welty's people”构成同位关系，三个from介词短语与come连用，表明小说中人物角色来源的多面性。
译文：Welty小说中的角色——美容师、酒吧招待、钢琴演奏者及那些戴着紫色帽子的人——源自于她与老朋友共度的下午，源自于她在土生土长的密西西比州杰克逊城的大街小巷散步的过程中，还源自于她在公交车上无意间听到的闲谈。
Task 6：经典句式背诵
