One of Britain’s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected (可疑的) police killer David Bieber — and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to £30,000 reward money.

Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide hunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to walk silently into Bieber’s bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.

She said: “I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there.”

The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious (怀疑) of the guest who came at 3 pm the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: “He didn't seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact .” Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.

Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.

“It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?’. My heart missed a beat.”

Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.

“I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man’s room, but I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed (戴上手铐).”

68.The underlined phrase “be in line for” (paragraph 1) means________.

A. get    B. be paid           C. ask for            D. own

Vicki's heart missed a beat because ________.

A. the phone went again              B. she would be famous

C. the policemen had already arrived    D. she saw 20 policemen in the car park

David Bieber was most probably handcuffed in ________.

A. the passage         B. the man's room          

C. Vicki's bedroom          D. the top floor room

The whole event probably lasted about ________ hours from the moment Bieber came to the hotel to the arrival of some armed officers.

A. 6              B. 8               C. 11            D. 14

草 莓
时值九月,但夏意正浓。天气反常地暖和,树上也见不到一片黄叶。葱茏茂密的枝叶之间,也许______地方略见稀疏,也许这儿或那儿有______叶子颜色稍淡;但它并不起眼,不去
寻找便难以发现。天空像蓝宝石一样晶莹璀璨。农村到处是欢歌笑语。秋收已顺利结束,挖土豆的季节正碰上艳阳天。地里新翻的玫瑰红土块,有如一堆堆深色的珠子,叉如野果一般的娇艳。我们许多人一起去散步,兴味盎然。自从我们五月来到乡下以来,一切基本上都没有变,依然是那样碧绿的树,湛蓝的天,欢快的心田。
我们漫步田野。在林间草地上我意外地发现了一颗晚熟的硕大的草莓。我把它含在嘴里,它是那样的香,那样的甜,真是一种稀世的佳品!它那沁人心脾的气味,在我的嘴角唇边久久地不曾消逝。这香甜把我的思绪引向了六月,那是草莓最盛的时光。
此刻我才察觉到早已不是六月。每一月,每一周,甚至每一天都有它自己独特的色调。我以为一切都没有变,其实只不过是一种幻觉!草莓的香味形象地使我想起,几个月前跟眼下是多么不一般。那时,树木是另一种模样,我们的欢笑是另一番滋味,太阳和天空也不同于今天。就连空气也不一样,因为那时送来的是六月的芬芳。而今已是九月,这一点无论如何也不能隐瞒。木是绿的,但只须吹第一阵寒风,顷刻之间就会枯黄;天空是蔚蓝的,但不久就会变得灰惨惨;乌儿尚没有飞走,只不过是由于天气异常的温暖。空气中已弥漫着一股秋的气息,这是翻耕了的土地、马铃薯和向日葵散发出的芳香。还有一会儿,还有一天,也许两天……
我们常以为自己还是妙龄十八的青年,还像那时一样戴着桃色眼镜观察世界,还有着同那时一样的爱好,一样的思想,一样的情感。一切都没有发生任何的突变。简而言之,一切都如花似锦,韶华灿烂。大凡已成为我们的禀赋的东西都经得起各种变化和时间的考验。
但是,只须去重读一下青年时代的书信,我们就会相信,这种想法是何其荒诞。从信的字里行间飘散出的青春时代呼吸的空气,与今天我们呼吸的已大不一般。直到那时我们才察觉我们度过的每一天时光,都赋予了我们不同的色彩和形态。每日朝霞变幻越来越深刻地改变着我们的心性和容颜,似水流年彻底再造了我们的思想和情感。有所剥夺,也有所增添。当然,今天我们还很年轻——但只不过是“还很年轻”!还有许多的事情在前面等着我们去办。激动不安,若明若暗的青春岁月之后,到来的是成年期成熟的思虑,是从容不迫的有节奏的生活,是日益丰富的经验,是一座内心的信仰和理性的大厦的落成。
然而,六月的气息已经一去不返了。它虽然曾经使我们惴惴不安,却浸透了一种不可取代的香味,真正的六月草莓的那种妙龄十八的馨香。

纵观全文,作者在第3段中说“每一月,每一周,甚至每一天都有它自己独特的色调”是想强调什么下面说法最准确的一项是:

A.意在强调生命过程中必然呈现“不同的色彩和形态”。

B.表明随着时间和季节的变化,我们周围的景物也在发生着变化。

C.为了突出“我以为一切都没有变,其实只不过是一种幻觉”。

D.告诉人们,此时草莓的味道与几个月前大不相同,就连空气也不一样,一切都在变。
