12、译文】星期五，再制止美国举行过的最大的反核示威游行中，警方发放了催泪瓦斯， 逮捕了 5000 多不拒捕的抗议者，企图解散游行队伍。The protests began before dawn Friday when several thousand demonstrators brokethrough police lines around the cordoned-off construction site.【结构简析】主从句。 【参考译文】星期五拂晓之前，当好几千名示威者冲破警戒再核建设基地周围的警察封锁线 时，抗议示威开始了。写作方法与文章大意 这是一则有关反对核电站的群众示威抗议的新闻

13、导报，采用对比手法。 警方镇压；群众坚决抗议。第一段就写出了尽管警方释放催泪瓦斯，逮捕了 5000 多人，示威 组织者申明抗议要继续下去，越来越多的抗议者参与对当局加压，想迫使其废除在当地建立 核电站的计划。其理由是在人口密集地区建站不安全，在海湾产生热污染，核废料处理无有 效方法。第二段叙述了州长大人坚决维护核电站的立场，不再考虑计划修改问题，三年内要完成核电 站建设。届时，本州人民得益。对企图破坏计划实施而违法的人将以法处置。已集结全州警 察加强对付这次捣乱。第三段讲了双方现场交战：星期五破晓，数千示威者（高举示威牌，上写：没有核电站就是 好的核电站；不要核能，要太阳能等）冲过建设基地警察

14、警戒线，警察用催泪瓦斯无效后， 开始一个一个地抓逮示威者，被捕者将被控以非法集会、侵入和扰乱治安等罪名。答案详解C抗议建设核电站计划。不是抗议核电站。至于核电站还未建，所以不对。A.私人利益 和D.公共危险，这些都是示威牌上之口号不是抗 议的主攻方向。D双方。最后一段第四行最后和第五行抗议者准备了他们自己的防毒面具或面罩。最后，头戴防毒面具和头盔的警察冲进人群一个一个地抓逮示威者。”所以说两方面都有防毒面具。A公共交通运输。公共危险。 C.污染。D.废料处理，是三个抗议的理由。B被逮捕的示威者。第一段最后一行示威要继续下去直到州监牢和州法庭人满为患，从而使州司法体系垮台。”说明示威者准备去坐牢

15、，决不服输的决心。而人多到监牢装不下证明州 司法的问题。所以这里只能是被抓的示威者。犯人。C.罪犯。D.抗议者。警察不可能抓所有的抗议者。关在牢里的只能是被抓的示威者。A固执己见，冥顽不化。见第二段他坚持说核电站计划不用再考虑，三年内一定要建成，计划准时开始，本州人民到时候就能获益。对这些违法企图破坏计划的人依法惩处。并且从州 内各处调集警察来处理这次骚乱”从语言到行动都说明，这位州长固执己见，顽固得很。坚持的。 C.不能解决的。D.可宽恕的。阅读理解。阅读下列短文,从给的四个选项 （A、B、C和D）中,选出最佳选项。After years of study， I have known the
