It disappeared almost a year ago when he got out of a cab and forgot to take the guitar with him. Laurence Lennon, 44, said he was running late that day. He was talking to his manager on his cell phone when he dashed out of the taxi. He said that he gave the driver $ 60 and told him to keep the change. He walked through the front doors of the concert hall still talking on the phone to his manager.Upon discovering his loss, Lennon used his cell phone to call the police. The policewoman asked him for the name of the cab company, the number of the cab, and the name of the driver. He said that she had to be kidding.She told Lennon that he could file a missing items report at the police station or online. Lennon asked for the online address. She told him that finding the guitar might take a couple of yearsfinding guitars was not as important as finding murderers and marijuana smokers. Then she told him to have a nice day.“This year has been depressing，” said Lennon. “I had to postpone the recording of two new CDs. Ive been using borrowed guitars. And I was losing hope of ever recovering my guitar.”Lennon was reunited with his $ 100,000 musical instrument yesterday. The case and the guitar had been discovered in the corner of a coffee house only two blocks from where Lennon had lost it in the first place. Lennon had offered a $ 10,000 reward for its return. He said he would give the reward to the coffee house owner, who had informed the police.6It can be inferred from this reading passage that_.ALennon gave the driver much more money than what was actually neededBLennon couldnt give any useful information about the driver and his cabCLennon was too busy talking to his friend to remember to pay the cab driverDLennon used to work at the concert hall in New York City答案：B推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“The policewoman asked him for the name of the cab company.and the name of the driver. He said that she had to be kidding.”说明他对出租汽车公司和司机的情况一概不知，认为警察这样问他简直是在开玩笑。7The policewoman told Lennon_.Anot to worry about the guitarBto have a nice day in New York CityCto find the cab driver and talk to himDto wait with patience答案：D推理判断题。根据第三段第三句“.finding the guitar might take a couple of years.”说明警察认为寻找这把吉他会很难，大概需要几年时间，因此他得耐心等待。选项A“不要着急这把吉他”不符合警察的本意和事实；B“祝他在纽约市玩得愉快”，原文中这是警察对他的安慰和祝福，不是事情的最重要内容；C“去找出租车司机跟他谈一下”这显然不可能，只有D“耐心等待”符合警察的本意。8Which of the following is the most important according to the policewoman?AFinding a lost guitar.BFinding the cab driver.CFinding murderers.DEnjoying ones own life答案：C细节题。根据第三段“.finding guitars was not as important as finding murderers.”说明在警察看来寻找杀人犯比寻找吉他(当然和其他任何事相比都)更重要。9The underlined word“depressing”can be best explained by“_”Amaking people feel sadBmaking people unfortunateCmaking people losing moneyDmaking people losing good luck答案：A词义理解题。根据第四段第二句“I had to postpone the recording of two new CDs. Ive been using borrowed guitars. And.”可推测出Lennon度过了一年很痛苦的日子，主要是丢掉了心爱的吉他和由于此事给他带来的种种事业中的不顺畅，因此可推测出depressing在这种的意思相当于making people feel sad。.短文填空根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us dont do a very good job. _1_.So, you have to give a speech and you are terrified.
