17、”可以推斷出,作者與父親的鄉(xiāng)間之旅充滿了樂趣。2.B推理判斷題。商人可以將最多32,000美元現(xiàn)金放入郵箱,讓父親帶去銀行,這說明父親誠實(shí)的(honest)品質(zhì)得到了認(rèn)可,他是可信賴的(reliable),故B項(xiàng)概括最為準(zhǔn)確。3.D推理判斷題。作者使用了大量篇幅對(duì)四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中的D項(xiàng)進(jìn)行詳細(xì)描述,由此不難判斷出,父親每年給孩子們回復(fù)圣誕來信這件事給作者的印象最為深刻。4.C推理判斷題。為了說明郵箱的作用已經(jīng)超過了它本身的功能,作者舉了很多例子,所以本段用了舉例的方法。5.D事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段最后一句“. and they told me how amazed they were that

20、小雞來啄是多么有趣的事情。閱讀理解。Taiwan police cannot decide whether to treat it as an extremely clever act of stealing or an even cleverer cheat (詐騙). Either way, it could be the perfect crime (犯罪), because the criminals are birds-horning pigeons! There have been at least four such pigeon pick-ups in Changwa. Wha

21、t at first seemed like the work of a clever stay-at-home car thief, however, may in fact be the work of an even lazier and more inventive criminal mind-one that avoids not only collecting money but going out to steal the car in the first place. Police officer Chen says that the criminal probably has

22、 played a double trick: he gets money for things he cannot possibly return. Instead of stealing cars, he lets someone else do it and then waits for the car-owner to place an ad in the newspaper asking for help. The theory is supported by the fact that, so far, none of the stolen cars have been retur

23、ned. Also, the amount of money demanded-under 3,000 Taiwanese dollars-seems too little for a car worth many times more. Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story. And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal. “We have more imp

24、ortant things to do,” he said. 31. After the car owner received a phone call, he _. A. went to a certain pigeon and put some money in the bag it carried B. gave the money to the thief and had his car back in a park C. sent some money to the thief by mailD. told the press about it 32. The “l(fā)azier and

25、 more inventive” criminal refers to _. A. the car thief who stays at homeB. one of those who put the ads in the paper C. one of the policemen in ChangwaD. the owner of the pigeons 33. The writer mentions the fact that “none of the stolen cars have been returned” to show _. A. how easily people get f

26、ooled by criminalsB. what Chen thinks might be correct C. the thief is extremely cleverD. the money paid is too little34. The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to _. A. criminals        B. pigeonsC. the stolen cars   D. demands for money 35.

27、We may infer from the text that the criminal knows how to reach the car owners because . A. he reads the ads in the newspaper  B. he lives in the same neighborhood C. he has seen the car owners in the park D. he has trained the pigeons to follow them【參考答案】3135 ADBDA 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D)中，
