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.1It 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。2The 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。3Which 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。4The 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。2016高考模拟题。阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill.

The psychologist K. Anders Ericsson of the University of Florida and his team, based on a survey of a violin class in a college of music, have found that the students whose levels are rated as “A” have spent on average over 10,000 hours on violin-practice, those with level B a bit less than 8,000 hours, and those with average or lower levels no more than 5,000 hours.The result of the survey is widely preferred because it suggests that practice makes perfect, that is, the distinction between “excellent” and “good” lies more in hard work than in natural intelligence. Malcolm Gladwell points out in his latest book Outliers: The Story of Success: “Practice isnt the thing you do once youre good. Its the thing you do that makes you good.” Besides, he thinks IQ plays little part in the formation and development of ability. “When one has an IQ of 120,” writes he, “what is beyond it does not make an evidential difference in real life.” However, scientists experimental results are quite different from the psychologists. Their findings show success in many areas depends on intelligence - and not a little. David Lubinski and Camilla Benbow of Vanderbilt University, with their research group, carried out a milestone research. They selected from Youth Talented Search 2000 teenagers of or under 13 whose SAT results ranked top1%. After tracking the achievements the 2,000 “wonder children” made in academy and career, Lubinski and Benbows group found that those ranking top 1% have more possibility (averagely by two to four times) to get a doctors degree, a certificate, and publish academic theses and works than those ranking top 9%. As a conclusion, its a great advantage in the real world to have a high IQ. 57. Psychologists apply violin-practice as an example to support the idea that _. A. common people have more chances to become skilled B. practice plays a key role in the development of ability C. a mans ability has little to do with ones intelligence D. even a high IQ man can not succeed without practice 58. Psychologists conclusion is popular among people probably because _. A. everyone sees a chance to succeed through practice B. hard work plays as important a part in success as IQ C. they are told that IQ makes no difference in real life D. there is no difference between “excellent” and “good” 59. Scientists conclusion differs from the psychologists in that they think _. A. success has much to do with intelligence B. both hard work and high IQ lead to success C. practice makes up for a lack of intelligence D. success depends a lot on early development 60. What is the writers attitude to psychologists and scientists conclusions about mans ability and skill?A. He is more in favor of psychologists.B. He prefers scientists to psychologists.C. He takes an objective attitude to both.D. He supports both conclusions equally. 【参考答案】5760、BAAC【陕西省西北工业大学附属中学2014第六次模拟】A阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C,D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。 OSCAR THEATREBOOKING- in personThe Box Office is open Monday to Saturday, 10 am-8 pm.- by postStating the performance and choice of seats, enclosing a cheque, postal order, or your credit card details to Oscar Theatre Box Office, PO Box 220, Main street.
