Question

阅读理解： 　　Taiwan police cannot decide whether to treat it as an extremely clever act of stealing or an even cleverer cheat(诈骗)．Either way, it could be the perfect crime(犯罪)，because the criminals are birds homing pigeons! 　　The crime begins with a telephone message to the owner of a stolen car：if you want the car back, pay up．Then, the car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a bird cage and how to attach money to the neck of the pigeon inside．Carrying the money in a tiny bag, the pigeon flies off． 　　There have been at least-four such pigeon pick-ups in Changwa．What 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(避免)not only collecting money but going out to steal the car in the first place．Police officer Chen says that the criminal probably has pulled 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(启事)in the newspaper asking for help． 　　The theory is supported by the fact that, so far, none of the stolen cars have been returned．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 important things to do,” he said． (1) After the car owner received a phone call, he ________． [　　] A． went to a certain pigeon and put some money in the bag it carded B． gave the money to the thief and had his car back in a park C． sent some money to the thief by mail D． told the press about it (2) The “lazier and more inventive” criminal refers to ________． [　　] A． the car thief who stays at home B． one of those who put the ads in the paper C． one of the policemen is Changwa D． the owner of the pigeons (3) The writer mentions the fact that “none of the stolen cars have been returned” to show ________． [　　] A． how easily people get fooled by criminals B． what Chen thinks might be correct C． the thief is extremely clever D． the money paid is too little (4) The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to ________． [　　] A． criminals B． pigeons C． the stolen cars D． demands for money (5) 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

Answer 1

答案：1．A;2．D;3．B;4．D;5．A;
解析：

(1)	本题为细节题。由第二自然段中介绍具体的犯罪形式可获知答案。
(2)	本题为细节题。在第一段中第二句似乎给出了明确答案，而实际上由lazier and more inventive所在的句子就可以明确获知答案。
(3)	本题是推理判断题。在第三自然段中陈警官提出了罪犯可能的双重计策，再结合第四段第一句可得知答案。
(4)	本题为猜词题。作为人称代词they，指代前文所提到的人或事物，由最后一段第一句中的名词形式可直接选择出答案D。
(5)	本题为推理判断题。由第三段中的陈警官的理论中的最后一句可推测出答案B、C、D三项与本文内容无关。 　　文章主要内容是：在台湾，出现了一种新的犯罪形式，即利用家鸽进行犯罪。
