考研英语阅读理解精读100篇：UNIT 2(5)

wanted the guns to protect his family during the riots. Other Bollywood stars express support for Mr. Dutt as passionately as their Hollywood peers worry about global warming.

Then again, Bollywood is rather shady. Gangsters and crooked politicians have long laundered ill-gotten money through film productions. Indeed Mr. Dutt was investigated over money-laundering allegations in 2001. Other recent Bollywood stars to grace the courts include Monica Bedi, an actress convicted of dealing in fake passports. Her accomplice was another Mumbai gangster, Abu Salem, who delivered the guns to Mr. Dutt, and is currently awaiting trial for his alleged part in the 1993 bombings.

An even bigger Bollywood star, Salman Khan, is appealing against two prison sentences of five years and one year for poaching respectively an endangered antelope and two gazelles. A Bollywood film about the case has been scheduled. Mr. Khan has also had to battle a four-year-old charge that he recklessly drove his car over five people sleeping on a pavement in Mumbai, killing one of them.

Bollywood's biggest star, Amitabh Bachchan, also known as “the Big B”, is, in contrast, venerated. Where Mr. Khan is vain and brash, he has a reputation for humility and Hindu piety. But even this has been imperilled of late by revelations that Mr. Bachchan and his film-star son, Abhishek, bought valuable plots of land reserved for farmers. They registered

themselves thus after being allotted farmland by a former government of the state of Uttar Pradesh, led by the Samajwadi party. Mr. Bachchan is close to one of the party's leading lights, Amar Singh, a famed socialite. Mr. Bachchan's wife, Jaya, an actress, is now also a Samajwadi politician.

(1)They were carried out in 1993 in revenge for the demolition of an ancient mosque in the Hindu holy city of Ayodhya by Hindu fanatics, and subsequent Hindu-Muslim rioting. [主体句式] They were carried out ?

[结构分析] 这是一个简单句，具有比较复杂的状语，有一个时间状语，一个以in revenge for引导的目的状语；在该目的状语中，有两个介词宾语，the demolition 和rioting ；而在第一个宾语中，in the Hindu city of Ayodhya 和by Hindu fanatics都是用来修饰前面的the demolition的。

[句子译文]这些爆炸事件发生于1993年，是为了报复印度教狂热教徒毁坏了印度圣城Ayodhya一座古老的清真寺以及随后的印度—穆斯林暴乱。 (2)They registered themselves thus after being allotted farmland by a former government of the state of Uttar Pradesh, led by the Samajwadi party.

[结构分析] 这是一个简单句，句子的状语比较复杂。该状语是一个时间状语，状语最后的成分led by ?是一个过去分词短语，作前面the state of Utar Pradesh的定语。

[句子译文] Samajwadi领导的前Uttar Pradesh州政府分配给他们这些土地后，他们就进行了注册。 题目分析：

[难度系数] ☆☆☆☆

[分析]细节题。本题有一定的迷惑性，要结合上下文来看。Dutt被判六年监禁，他现在在争取保释，在这种情况下，法官说不行，紧接着文章就做了说明，Dutt所犯罪行比较严重。因此，答案应选C。而具有迷惑性的是，法官说不这句话前面是Dutt说自己犯了一个错，如果考生将这两句话错误地认为是连在一起的话，就容易选错。
