Passage Five
A young girl and a man were recently found murdered in a parked car in a Boston suburb. The police found no clue (线索) in the car. Then they found a witness who had seen a car pass by the murdered couple's car. He said it was a 1950 or 1951 Chevrolet (雪佛莱牌汽车).
Ordinarily, searching through the files for owners of elderly Chevies would have been an impossibly difficult task because there were two and a half million such cars. In this case, however, the police had a powerful tool--the computer.
The Boston Registry of Motor Vehicles programmed its computer to screen all 1950 and 1951 Chevrolets within a fifteen-mile radius (半径) of the suburb--the area in which the police believed the murderer was most likely to be found. Within minutes, the computer uncovered one thousand of the wanted cars. A few hours of careful hand screening turned up a 1950 Chevrolet owner who lived close to the scene of the crime and who had received many traffic tickets (交通罚款). He was among the first suspects to be investigated, and evidence linking him to the murdered couple was found. He was arrested, and is now waiting for trial (审判).
51. The computer DIDN'T help the police ______.
A. to find the suspect
B. to find the murdered couple
C. to arrest the suspect
D. to search a 1950 or 1951 Chevrolet
正确答案：B
本题为推理题。综览全文，我们知道，警察是在电脑的帮助下才找到了该型号汽车的，然后才发现疑犯，并最终将其逮捕。由此可排除A，C和D，并肯定正确答案为B。
-
第2题：
He was ________ by the police, because he was charged with murder.A. arrested
B. answered
C. treat
D. talked
参考答案：A
-
第3题：
He played on the ________ for two hours and when he returned he found half his goods ________ stolen.A.sands...was
B.sand...were
C.sand...was
D.sands...were
正确答案：D
解析：本题考查主谓一致的用法。本句是由 and 连接的两个分句，在第二个分句中，主句是 "he found half his goods..." 。一般来说，"goods”应该视为复数，所以构成被动语态(一般过去时)的助动词相应地应该用 were。另外，英文中的“沙滩”也应该用复数形式：the sands。句意：“他在沙滩上玩了两个小时，回来才发现一半商品都被偷了。”
-
第4题：
He said he liked traveling by train,but after six hours standing in the corridor,he changed his____.A.sound
B.voice
C.tone
D.tune答案：D解析：须注意区别tune和tone的引申义。D.tune的基本意思是“曲调”，引申为“态度；看法”等，如：change one’s tune改变了态度或看法；C.tone是“声音，声调”，引申为“口气，语气”等，如：I don’t like your talking to me in a decisive tone.我不喜欢你用一种断然的语气跟我说话。 -
第5题：
Only after they had discussed the matter for several hours ___________ a decision.A.they reached
B.did they reach
C.they reach
D.do they reach答案：B解析：本句中only后接的是after引导的条件状语从句。only提前时，主句部分倒装；结合本句的时态可知，B项正确。 -

“Lucky” Lord Lucan一Alive or Dead
On 8th November 1974 Lord Lucan,a British aristocrat,vanished. The day before,his children's nanny had been brutally murdered and his wife had been attacked too.To this day the British public are still interested in the murder case because Lucan has never been found.
Now,over 30 years later,the police have reopened the case,hoping that new DNA tech-niques will help solve this murder mystery. People suspected that“Lucky”,as he was called by friends,wanted to kill his wife he no longer lived with. They say that Lucan entered his old house and in the dark,killed the nanny by mistake. His estranged wife heard noises,came downstairs and was also attacked,but managed to escape. Seven months after the murder,a jury concluded that Lucan had killed the nanny.
What happened next is unclear,but there are several theories which fall into one of three categories:he may have killed himself,he could have escaped or he might have been killed. It appears that the night after the murder,“Lucky” borrowed a car and drove it,Lucan's friend Aspinall said in an interview that he thought Lucan had committed suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel.
Another version of events says that“Lucky” left the blood-soaked car on the coast and took a ferry to France. He was met there by someone who drove him to safety in another country.However,after a time,his rescuers became worried that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed.
A further fascinating theory was made in the book Dead Lucky by Duncan MacLaugh-lin,a former detective.He believes that Lucan travelled to Goa,India.where he assumed the identity of a Mr. Barry Haplin. Lucan then lived in Goa till his death in 1996.In the end the claim turned out be a case of mistaken identity. The man who died in 1996 was really Haplin,an exschoolteacher turned hippy. So what is the truth about Lucky?DNA testing has solved many murder cases,but who knows if it can close the book on this one.Ex-detective MacLaughlin claimed that Mr. Barry Haplin______.
A: was an old schoolteacher
B: died in Goa,India
C: was really Lord Lucan in disguise
D: was a merchant答案：C解析：题干意为“公众对这件谋杀案的调查依旧很感兴趣的原因是……”。该题为细节题，而且为细节题中的因果逻辑题，在解题时要注意关注短文中陈述原因的句子，尤其是一些典型用来引出原因的词语和结构，如：because, because of, for, due to, thanks to, owing to等，同时还需要注意英文中的因果逻辑陈述习惯：先果后因。利用题干及选项中的名词及名词短语作为定位线索，在短文前三段中查找相关句，同时留意题干中的修饰词in-terested“感兴趣的”，这样在第一段中找到相关句：To this day the British public（与题干中的名词短语the public呼应）are still interested in the murder case because Lucan has never been found．相关句意为“直到现在，英国民众对这个谋杀案仍然很感兴趣，因为鲁肯伯爵一直没有被找到”。该句直接陈述了原因，所以C项“鲁肯伯爵一直没有被找到”是正确的答案。
题干意为“人们认为鲁肯杀了保姆的原因是什么？”该题为细节题，同时也是因果逻辑题。利用题干及选项中的名词及名词短语作为定位线索，顺着上一题相关句的位置往下查找相关句，这样在第二段中找到相关句：People suspected that “Lucky”（指Lucan), as he was called by friends,wanted to kill his wife he no longer lived with. They say that Lu-can entered his old house and in the dark,killed the nanny by mistake. His estranged wife heard noises,came downstairs and was also attacked,but managed to escape. Seven months after the murder,a jury concluded that Lucan had killed the nanny．相关句（带有下划线的句子）意为“鲁肯伯爵被朋友称为‘幸运儿’，人们猜测他想要杀了他与之分居的妻子。有人说鲁肯踏进他的老房子，在一片漆黑中错杀了保姆”，由此可知C项“在一片漆黑之中，他误认为她（保姆）是鲁肯夫人”是答案。
题干意为“Aspinall认为鲁肯是怎样自杀的？”该题为细节题，利用题干及选项中的名词及名词短语作为定位线索，顺着上一题相关句的位置往下查找相关句，这样在第三段中找到相关句：What happened next is unclear,but there are several theories which fall into one of three categories:he may have killed himself,he could have escaped or he might have been killed. It appears that the night after the murder,“Lucky”（指Lucan)borrowed a car and drove it,Lucan's friend Aspinall said in an interview that he thought Lucan had com-mitted suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel．相关句（带下划线的句子）意为“在谋杀发生的第二天晚上，‘幸运儿’借了一辆车然后开走了，鲁肯的朋友Aspinall在一个采访中表示，他觉得鲁肯伯爵在英吉利海峡中凿沉了自己坐的船，已经自杀了”。由此可知鲁肯的朋友Aspinall认为鲁肯伯爵是凿沉了自己坐的船自杀的，因此答案为D。
题干意为“鲁肯可能已经被杀了，原因是人们……”。利用题干及选项中的名词及名词短语作为定位线索，顺着上一题相关句的位置往下查找相关句，这样在第四段中找到相关句：Another version of events says that “Lucky” left the blood-soaked car on the coast and took a ferry to France. He was met there by someone who drove him to safety in another country. However,after a time,his rescuers became worried that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed．相关句（带下划线的句子）意为“然而，过了一段时间，救他的人开始担心自己也会被卷入到谋杀案中，所以他们杀了鲁肯”。由此可知鲁肯可能 已经被杀的原因是人们（帮助鲁肯的人）害怕自己也被卷入到谋杀案中，因此答案为B项“认为如果鲁肯被警方抓住他可能向警方供出他们来”。 -

A: jumping into water
B:jumping out of his house

D:sinking his boat答案：D解析：文章第一段告诉我们公众之所以对此案感兴趣是因为Lucan还没被找到。因此只有选项C是正确的。
第二段讲到，保姆被杀是因为天黑看不清楚，而被Lucan误杀了。因此选项C是正确的。
文章第三段最后一句提到Lucan的朋友在一个采访中表示，他觉得Lucan 在英吉利海峡弄沉了自己坐的船自杀了。因此选项D是正确的。
根据第四段我们知道救Lucan的人担心自己也会被卷入到谋杀案件中，因此杀了Lucan。最符合此意的为B项，意思为他们觉得如果Lucan被捕，他有可能跟警察提起这些人。
从文章最后一段的叙述我们知道Mac Laughlin确信Lucan逃到了印度，在那里换了个身份，假装成Barry Haplin。因此选项C是正确的。 -

Passage Two
The thought of not sleeping for twenty-four hours or more is not a pleasant one for most people．The amount of sleep that each person needs varies．In general,each of us needs about eight hours of sleep each day to keep our bodies healthy and happy．Some people,however,can get by just a few hours of sleep at night．
It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps．But everyone needs some rest to stay alive．Few doctors would have thought that there might be an exception on this．Sleep is,after all,a very basic need．But a man named AI Herpin turned out to be a real exception,for supposedly,he never slept!
A1 Herpin was 90 years old when doctors came to his home in New Jersey．They hoped to negate the claims that he never slept．But they were surprised．Though they watched him every hour of the day,they never saw Herpin sleeping．He did not even own a bed．He never needed one．
The closest that Herpin came to resting was to sit in a rocking chair and read a half dozen news-papers．His doctors were baffled by this strange case of permanent insomnia．Herpin offered the only clue to his condition．He remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days be-fore he had been born．Herpin died at the age of 94,never having slept a wink．
The expression“get by”,in the last sentence of the first paragraph is______A.a confusing expression
B.a rude expression

A:urged
B:imposed
C:forced
D:attempted答案：C解析：根据下文判断，这里应该是转折关系。尽管抓到的那个人不承认自己是小偷，但是抓到他时，他身上有几枚钻戒。所以选D。
deny是“否定”的意思，与“承认”相对。accept意为“接受”;ignore意为 “忽视”; reject意为“拒绝，抵制”。
in one's possession是“拥有，持有”的意思，相当于in possession of，因此选B。
介词on后接动名词时，有“一······就······”的意思。本句的意思是“史密斯一看到警察，就跳进了车里······”，因此选D。
文章要表达的意思是“跳进车里”，只能选介词into。
force是“逼迫”的意思。本句的意思是：“警察最终把史密斯逼到了路边。”
truck意为“卡车”; motorbike意为“摩托车”; bicycle意为“自行车”，前文提到他跳进“auto"（汽车），与car同义。
clothing是“衣服”的意思，所有衣服的统称。文章说的是当警察搜查他的衣服时发现了钻戒。coat意为“外衣”，太具体了。
下文应该要填一个引导定语从句的表示地点的疑问副词，所以选where。
identify...as…意为“认出······是······”，句义是：“最近遭遇抢劫案的珠宝店主认出了他丢失的珠宝。”
confess是“承认，坦白，忏悔”的意思，既可以作及物动词，又可以作不及物动词使用。文中的意思是“犯人如拒不认罪”，应该选C。
由前后文可以推断此处应为表转折关系的连词。
sb.have no doubt that…的意思是“某人对······毫不怀疑”。
guilty是“有罪的”的意思，符合原文的意思。
caused by的意思是“由······引起的”，原文的意思是：“发言人还表示，希望由最近发生的抢劫案在社区中引起的恐慌会因为史密斯的被捕而平息。” -

单选题The result of deserved-punishment justice is .Athe criminal’s winning of a true life
Bthe criminal’s taking death penalty for the crime committed by him
Cthe criminal’s denial of his true self
Dthe restoration of the criminal’s guilty self to the self before the crime
正确答案： D解析：
第一段指出The criminal had by his own actions denied his true self and …restore the self that has been denied.可见，罪犯的犯罪行为是对其真实自己的否定，deserved-punishment justice是为了消除这种否定，找回罪犯以前的自我，D项意思与之一致。 -
第11题：
单选题According to the Bible, the concept of equality in justice means .Aa criminal must be severely punished
Ba criminal must be given a punishment that is exactly the same as the crime he has done
Ca criminal must be given a punishment that he deserves
Da criminal must pay for his crime with his eyes and teeth
正确答案： C解析：
文中指出圣经对公平的理解“an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth”，然后具体解释说“can be done only by imposing an equal injury upon him”，可以判断选项B正确。 -

B:politician
C:musician
D:industrialist答案：A解析：本句意思：警察悄悄地从歹徒背后绕过去，出其不意地将他逮捕。gangster匪徒，歹徒，土匪。violent criminal残暴的罪犯；politician政治家，政客；musician音乐家；industrialist工业家，实业家。 -
第16题：
The goals ___________ he had fought all his life no longer seemed important to him.A.after which
B.for which
C.with which
D.at which答案：B解析：考查习惯搭配。这是一个“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句，修饰先行词goals。从句中有动词fight与介词构成的动介短语，将介词提到关系代词which前就形成了现在的结构。因此，只需要判别 fight与下面各介词构成的搭配的含义即可：fight after“争夺”，fight for“为……而奋斗”，fight with“与……战斗”，没有fight at搭配。结合句意“他为之奋斗一生的目标似乎对他不再重要了”可知，答案为B项。 -
第17题：
Mr Tunick filed suit against the New York police department after city officials ____ his request.A. turned down
B. turned in
C. turned off
D. turned out答案：A解析：tum down（tum 的本来意义是“转圈”，down 往下→音量往下转圈“调小音量”；你的要求被一次次地往下转圈，到最后成为了zero→拒绝）Tum in（转进来→上交，归还；转进被窝→上床睡觉）；Tum off（转就Off 了→断开，关上电源）；tum out（转出来→转来转去，晕头转向，山穷水尽疑无路，柳暗花明又一村→→原来是，结果是，证明是；）根据题干大意，答案是A。 -
