      News Item Two

      A judge in the United States has ordered the release of Albert Woodfox, the last of the so-called "Angola Three" still in prison. Woodfox has been in solitary confinement for 43 years after the killing of a guard at the Louisiana State Penitentiary in 1972, Richard Hulls reports. Campaigners for the "Angola Three" have always maintained there was no physical evidence to link them to the crime and all convictions have been overturned on numerous occasions. In his ruling, the judge said Albert Woodfox's poor health and the length of the time spent in solitary confinement had contributed to the decision to free him. No man in the U.S. has ever spent as much time in solitary confinement as he has. With the exception of a six-month period in a secure dormitory in 2008, Albert Woodfox has spent all of the past 43 years incarcerated on his own.

      3.What is the news mainly about?

      4.What is special about Woodfox compared with other prisoners in the U.S.?

      参考答案:

      【小题3】B

      【小题4】D

      习题解析:

      【小题3】新闻开头提到A judge in the United States has ordered the release of Albert Woodfox, the last of the so-called "Angola Three" still in prison.由此可知,美国法官下令释放艾伯特·伍德福斯,下文是对这一事件的详细阐述及背景介绍,故这则新闻主要围绕艾伯特·伍德福斯的释放展开,正确答案为B。

      【小题4】新闻中提到No man in the U.S. has ever spent as much time in solitary confinement as he has.由此可知,在美国,伍德福斯是被单独囚禁时间最久的人,故本题选D。
