Question

While Nick was on the bus reading his newspaper, the man sitting next to him suddenly pushed a large envelope（信封）into his hands. "Here, take this!" the man said, stood up and got off the bus before Nick could say a word.

    Nick sat there, holding the envelope. It felt heavy.  There was paper inside, or money perhaps. "I'd better hand it over to the police," he thought. There was a police station close to his office. But, as he got off the bus, a man came to him. He seemed to be waiting for something.   "He wants the envelope," Nick thought. Nick began to walk quickly, and the man hurried after him. Nick managed to lose the man in the crowd（人群）．When he entered the police station, the man was no longer in sight.

    Inside the police station, Nick handed over the envelope to the policeman who was on duty.  The man opened it. The envelope was full of money, false（假的）money.“Clearly the man made a mistake," the policeman said. "He thought you were one of the gang（團伙）!”

    “However," the policeman went on. "I'm afraid I must ask you to keep quiet about all this.  We are trying to catch some very clever thieves, and we don't want them to know that we have some of the money. So you mustn't say a word to anyone-not even to your boss!"

1.C

2.D

3.C

【解析】

試題分析：短文大意：尼克正在公共汽車上看報，坐在他旁邊的人突然把一個大信封塞到他的手里。尼克發(fā)現(xiàn)里面可能是錢，于是決定要把它交給警察，但是，他下車時，一個男人就走近他。他似乎在等待著什么。尼克設(shè)法躲開那人到了警察局。在警察局里，尼克把信給了在值班的警察。打開信封里面全假幣。顯然那個人以為尼克是同伙。

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中I'm afraid I must ask you to keep quiet about all this.  We are trying to catch some very clever thieves, and we don't want them to know that we have some of the money. 可推斷出給尼克信的人是最有可能詩小偷，所以選C。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句the policeman said. "He thought you were one of the gang!”可知那個男人認(rèn)為尼克是他們一伙的，所以選D。

3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后幾句，我們可以推斷尼克會對所發(fā)生的事保持一段時間沉默，所以選C。
