The stranger could not have been more than twenty-five years of age, and was a little abov

e the ordinary height; had he been a single hair's breadth taller, the matchless symmetry of his form. would have been destroyed. His unclad limbs were beautifully formed; whilst the elegant outline of his figure, together with his beardless cheeks, might have entitled him to the distinction of standing for the statue of the Polynesian Apollo; and indeed the oval of his countenance and the regularity of every feature reminded me of an antique bust. But the marble repose of art was supplied by a warmth and liveliness of expression only to be seen in the South Sea Islander under the most favorable developments of nature. The hair of Marnoo was a rich curling brown, and twined about his temples and neck in little close curling ringlet, which danced up and down continually when he was animated in conversation. His cheek was of a feminine softness, and his face was free from the least blemish of tattooing, although the rest of his body was drawn all over with fanciful figures, which--like the unconnected sketching usual among these natives--appeared to have been executed in conformity with some general design.

The tattooing on his back in particular attracted my attention. The artist employed must indeed have ex- celled in his profession. Traced along the course of the spine was accurately delineated the slender, tapering, and diamond-checkered shaft of the beautiful “artu” tree. Branching from the stem on each side, and disposed alternately, were the graceful branches drooping with leaves all correctly drawn, and elaborately finished. In- deed, this piece of tattooing was the best specimen of the Fine Arts I had yet seen in Typee. A rear view of the stranger might have suggested the idea of a spreading vine tacked against an infinite variety of figures~ every one of which, however, appeared to have reference to the general effect sought to be produced. The tattooing I have described was of the brightest blue, and when contrasted with the light olive-color of the skin, produced a unique and even elegant effect. A slight girdle of white tappa, scarcely two inches in width, but hanging before and behind in spreading tassels, composed the entire costume of the stranger.

He advanced surrounded by the islanders, carrying under one arm a small roll of the native cloth, and grasping in his other hand a long and richly decorated spear. His manner was that of a traveler conscious that he is approaching a comfortable stage in his journey. Every moment he turned good-humoredly to the throng a- round him, and gave some dashing sort of reply to their incessant queries, which appeared to convulse them with uncontrolled mirth.

The writer means for this passage to appeal to the reader's______.

A.senses

B.religion

C.morals

D.thoughts

听力原文:During the early morning of February 24, George White was traveling on a country
road in Newberry when he fell asleep, ran off the road, and hit a tree head on. The accident was severe and he was unconscious. After 30 minutes or so, a newspaper carrier passed by. She noticed the crash and called 911. Before help arrived, this lady, a complete stranger, sat in her car beside George's vehicle, and called out to him repeatedly: "Help is on the way." She wanted to get out of her car and help him in some way, but she couldn't. She could only offer the comfort of her voice because she was handicapped and could not walk.

Several minutes later, the ambulance came and George was sent to a hospital. He is now home, and should have a complete recovery over the next few months.

When did the accident happen?

A.On February 24.

B.On February 25.

听力原文: An elderly woman yesterday made a legal claim against a department store because
it had wrongly accused her of stealing a Christmas card. Ms. Doss White, 72 years old, is claiming $ 3,000 damages from the store for wrongful arrest and false imprisonment. Ms. White visited the store while doing Christmas shopping, but did not buy anything. She was followed through the town by a store manager. He had been told that a customer saw her take a card and put it in her shopping bag. He stopped her at a bookstore as she was reading a book. Ms. White said, "This man, a total stranger, suddenly grasped my bag and asked if he could look in it." She was taken back to the store and shut in a small room in full view of shoppers for 20 minutes until the police arrived. At the police station she was body-searched and nothing was found. Her lawyer said the department store sent a letter in sincere apology but they insisted that she might have been stealing. The hearing continues today.

What does the story tell us about the old woman?

A.She was found stealing in a bookstore.

B.She caught someone in the act of stealing.

C.She admitted having stolen something.

D.She said she was wrongly accused of stealing.
