A classical guitarist was excited to hear from New York City police that his valuable guitar had been found. 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 years—finding 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. I've 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.
1．It can be inferred from this reading passage that________.
A．Lennon gave the driver much more money than what was actually needed
B．Lennon couldn't give any useful information about the driver and his cab
C．Lennon was too busy talking to his friend to remember to pay the cab driver
D．Lennon 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。．The policewoman told Lennon________.
A．not to worry about the guitar
B．to have a nice day in New York City
C．to find the cab driver and talk to him
D．to 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。．Which of the following is the most important according to the policewoman?
A．Finding a lost guitar. B．Finding the cab driver.
C．Finding murderers. D．Enjoying one's 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。
．The underlined word“depressing”can be best explained by“________”．
A．making people feel sad
B．making people unfortunate
C．making people losing money
D．making 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. I've 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。
阅读理解, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
Education in the United States is compulsory for children up to about the age of sixteen. Most young people stay in school longer than that. Most graduate from high school at the age of 17 or 18.
Almost half of these high school graduates continue their education at a college or university. Education for most young people in this country is free up to the time they graduate from high school. There are private schools, but most parents send their children to public schools, where students do not pay tuition. When young people go to college, however, they must pay tuition at a public university or a private university. University costs are going up a lot：private universities have become very expensive because the government does not help them.
Who pays? The parents of children in college may have to pay more, or often students may have to find jobs. These students have to worry about assignments and grades and also about their jobs. If they work too much at their jobs they may be absent from class or miss assignments or make too many errors on tests. They may even fail their courses and have to leave the university.
For many students, the problem of getting an education is not just a problem of homework and exams. They also have to make money to pay for tuition. And professors don't teach them how to do that!

A．go to colleges and universities
B．need not pay any tuition

C．University costs are on the increase.
D．The students may be absent from class if they work overtime.
答案：B 本题考查细节理解。由文章第二段第二句“Education for most young people in this country is free up to the time they graduate from high school.”可知，在这个国家，大多数年轻人接受的免费教育可持续到中学毕业，而这正与B的意思相反，因此B是正确答案。
3．The private university students have to pay more money for tuition because________.
A．the government does not finance the private universities
B．none of companies support the private universities
C．the teaching quality of the private universities are superior to public ones
D．they have some trouble in passing the exams
答案：A 本题考查细节理解。由文章第二段第五句“University costs are going up a lot; private universities have become very expensive because the government does not help them.”可知，私立大学学费高昂的原因是政府不资助私立学校。
4．The main idea of the passage might be________.
A．selecting a good university costs in the United States
B．the increase on university costs in the United States
C．the argument about education in the United States
D．the problem of getting an education in the United States
答案：D 本题考查主旨大意。纵观全文，一直谈论的都是在美国教育中遇到的问题，因此D项是正确答案。

阅读理解, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
According to historical documents, the forefathers of the Naxi people were closely related to a tribe called “Maoniu Yi” in the Han Dynasty，“Maoniu Yi” in the Jin Dynasty and “Moxie Yi” in the Tang Dynasty.Between the early 10th century and the middle of the 13th century, production in the Lijiang area experienced marked changes, as agriculture replaced livestock (家畜)breeding as the main occupation of the people. Scores of agricultural, handicraft, mineral and livestock products were turned out, and the country presented a picture of prosperity. During that period, a number of slaveowning groups in Ninglang，Lijiang and Weixi counties gradually grew into a feudal manorial lord caste(世袭封建庄园领主制)．
In 1278 the Yuan Dynasty established
Lijiang Prefecture(自治州)representing the imperial court in Yunnan Province. This resulted in closer links between the Lijiang area and the centre of the empire.
In the early Ming Dynasty, the leader of the Naxi people，named Mude, was made chief of Lijiang Prefecture, exercising control over the Naxi and other ethnic groups nearby. Throughout the Ming Dynasty, the chiefs from the Mu family kept taxes and tribute(贡品)flowing to the Ming court in the form of silver and grain. The Ming, in turn, relied on the Mu family as the mainstay for the control of the people of various ethnic groups in northwestern Yunnan Province.
Later, with the development of the productive forces, buying, selling and renting of land began to take place in the Naxi areas，marking the beginning of a landlord economy.
