9．Do you know Harry Houdini，a man of many Secrets，who was one of the greatest American entertainers in the theater this century？He was a man famous for his escapes-from prison cells，from wooden boxes floating in rivers，from locked tanks full of water．He appeared in theaters all over Europe and America．Crowds came to see the great Houdini and his"magic"tricks．
Of course，his secret was not magic，or supernatural powers．It was simply strength．He had the ability to move his toes as well as he moved his fingers．He could move his body into almost any position he wanted．
Houdini started working in the entertainment world when he was 17，in 1891．He and his brother Theo performed card tricks in club in New York．They called themselves the Houdini Brothers．When Harry married in 1894，he and his wife Bess worked together as magician and assistant．But for a long time they were not very successful．Then Harry performed his first prison escape，in Chicago in 1898．Harry persuaded a detective to let him try to escape from the prison，and he invited the local newspapermen to watch．
It was the publicity（宣传） that came from this that started Harry Houdini's success．Harry had fingers trained to escape from handcuffs and toes trained to escape ankle chins．But his biggest secret was how he unlocked the prison doors．Every time he went into the prison cell，Bess gave him a kiss for good luck-and a small skeleton key，which is a key that fits many locks，pass quickly from her mouth to his．
Harry used these prison escapes to build his fame．He arranged to escape from the local prison of every town he visited．In the afternoon，the people of the town would read about it in their local newspapers，and in the evening every seat in the local theater would be full．What was the result？World-wild fame，and a name remembered today．

58．A 推理判断题．It was the publicity that came from this started Hairy Houdini's success中this指的是1898年芝加哥大逃狱，可见他是1898年在芝加哥一举成名的，1891年他17岁，可知1898年他是24岁，故选A．
59．B 主旨大意题．文章第一段说He was a man famous for his escapes-from prison cells，from wooden boxes floating in rivers，from locked tanks full of water，可知Harry 因逃脱出名，后面列举的例子谈的是他从监狱成功地逃出，故选B．
点评 阅读理解是考查语篇理解能力．常考的题型有：推理判断题；主旨大意题；细节理解题；猜测词意题．近几年又出现了两种新的考查方式：写作态度判断题和文章结构题．解题时，在读懂文章的基础上，还有特别注意掌握题型的特征，尤其是细节题和推断题不可混淆：细节题是文章信息的再现；推断题是文章信息的提取．本题是广告类文章，考查主要是以细节题为主，细节题要注意常用的出题陷阱有：夸大，缩小，张冠李戴，偷梁换柱，无中生有等，做题时要看清看准．
