The cold wind swept away the last piece of warmth. A dead leaf fell at Soapy’s feet. That was a special sign for him that the cold winter was coming.
The three months’ life in the prison(监狱) on Blackwell’s island was what he wanted. Three months of free food every day and a bed every night, three months safe from cops(警察). This seemed the most expected thing to Soapy in the world. For years, the prison had been his winter home.
There were many easy ways of doing this. The best way was to have a good dinner at a fine restaurant. Then he would say that he had no money to pay. And then a cop would be called. The cop would catch him. He would be taken to a judge. The judge would do the rest. Thinking about this, he had a spark of hope in his heart.
But when Soapy put his foot inside the restaurant door, the waiter saw his broken old shoes and clothes. Strong hands pushed Soapy around and moved him outside again. The failure(失败) for the first time let him down.
Days later, Soapy went to a shop. It had a wide glass window. Soapy picked up a big stone and threw it through the glass. People came running around the corner. A cop was the first among them. Soapy stood still, and he smiled happily when he saw the cop.
“Where’s the man that did that?” asked the cop.
“Don’t you think I might have done it?” said Soapy. What he wanted was coming toward him.
But the cop didn’t consider Soapy. That’s because men who break windows do not stop there to talk to cops. They run away as fast as they can. The cop saw a man further along the street, running. He ran after him. Soapy’s heart was filled with sadness, and he walked slowly away. He had failed two times.
—Adapted from The Cop and the Anthem

解析
【分析】先通读全文，明确文本为《警察与赞美诗》的节选，围绕苏比试图通过违法方式进入监狱过冬的经历展开。针对各问题，先判断题型：第1题是写作手法题，需定位文章开头段落分析表达方式；第2题是代词指代题，需联系代词所在句的上下文，查找前文对应的指代内容；第3题是细节理解题，需定位警察不认为苏比是砸窗者的原文依据；第4题是人物情感变化题，需梳理文中体现苏比情绪的关键词句，按顺序整理情绪变化。
【解析】1. 第1题：写作手法题。文章开头第一段通过描写“寒风”“落叶”等环境，交代了寒冬来临的背景，属于环境描写（setting描写），对应选项C。A举例、B列数字、D提问均不符合开头的表达方式，故选C。

3. 第3题：细节理解题。根据最后一段原文“That’s because men who break windows do not stop there to talk to cops”，可知警察认为砸窗的人不会停下来和警察说话，因此不怀疑苏比，对应选项D。A、B、C均无原文依据，故选D。
