参考答案
正确答案:A
【听前预测】根据题干和选项中反复出现的信息词Joe,可以推断本文是一篇关于一个名叫Joe的人的故事。Joegrewupinanorphanage.Heenviedrichpeopleanddecidedwhenhegrewuphecouldmakemuchmoney.Joewasnotcleverandhefailedallhisschoolexams."[17A]IwilleitherhavetofindagoodjoborIwillhavetobecomeathief."Joesaidtohimself.Heknewhewouldneverfindawell-paidjob.FormonthsJoewatchedabankoutoftown.Henoticedwhenithadthefewestcustomers.Hewatched,waitedandplanned.Oneafternoonhefoundthatonlytwotellerswereonduty."Iwilleithersucceedandbeveryrichorfailandgotoprison."saidJoe.Hewaswillingtotaketherisk.Thenhewalkedinandpushedademandnoteoverthecounter.[18B]Thetellerreadit,turnedpaleandquietlyopenedasmallsafebehindhim.Hetookout$50,000andplacedthebanknotesinJoe'sopenbag.ThenJoeranasfastashecould.ThatnightJoehadtoburythemoneyincasethepolicecaughthim.Hechoseadesertedpieceoflandnearthehouse,hewasgladwhenthemoneywassafelyhiddenintheground.Thenextdayhewaswokenbybangsonhisdoor.Heansweredandtherecametwopolicemen."JosephSmith,youareunderarrestforrobbingabank!"Joeprotestedinvain.[19A]Thebankhadhiddencamerascamerasandthewholeraidhadbeenphotographed.Joewascaughtandputintoprison.TenyearslaterJoewassetfree.Hequicklymadehiswaytothespotwherehehadburiedthemoney.Abigbuildinghadbeenbuiltonthesite.【解析】选[A]。[A]、[B]、[C]说的都是通过不正当的手段变得富有,而[D]却说的是通过正当手段变得富有,故很可能不是答案。再由原文中的.…havetofindagoodjob...havetobecomeathief可知答案为[A]。
