三、阅读理解

A

Two men guarded the door while Mr.Brownlow led Monks into a back room. “What kind of treatment is this?” said Monks.

“Yes, I was your father’s oldest friend, and that is why I am treating you with kindness now.” said Mr. Brownlow.

“What do you want?” said Monks.

“You have a younger half – brother called Oliver.” Said Mr. Brownlow. “I do not have a brother.” cried Monks.

“You both have the same father, but not the same mother.” “My father and mother separated.” said Monks.

“You are the first child of an unhappy marriage(婚姻). Your father met another young woman called Agnes and fell in love.” Said Mr. Brownlow. “They wanted to marry.” “How nice!”

said Monks.

“Your father was rich. One day, he travelled to Italy. But before he went, he came to visit me. He told me about Agnes and gave me a portrait of her to keep. He told me that she was expecting a child. He wanted to make a new will leaving some of his money to Agnes and her child. But when your father was in Italy, he became ill and died. Since your mother and father were still married when he died and the new will was not found, you and your mother automatically(自动地) got all his money.”

“Your story is very long.” said Monks.

“I never saw your father again, after that visit.” Mr.Brownlow continued. “Later, I went to find Agnes. I wanted to help her, but her family had left a week before. No one knew where they were. Your brother Oliver came to me by chance. He was weak and neglected(没人疼爱的). I saved him from a life of crime. But now he was kidnapped by someone before I could find out more about his past. You found the proof(证据) of this birth, but you destroyed it. Now Nancy has been murdered and I’m sure you are part responsible(有责任).”
