Question

閱讀理解 　　A young girl and a man were recently found murdered in a parked car in a Boston suburb．The police found no sign in the car．Then they found a witness who had seen a car pass by the murdered couple’s car．His description placed the car as a 1950 or 1951 Chevrolet． 　　Ordinarily, searching through the files for owners of elderly Chevrolets would have been an impossible 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(半徑)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 wanted cars．A few hours of hand screening turned up a 1950 Chevrolet owner who lived close to the scene of the crime(犯罪)and who had received many traffic tickets．He was among the first suspects(嫌疑犯)to be investigated, and signs connecting him with the murdered couple were found．He was arrested, and is now waiting for trial． 　　本文描述了一個(gè)借助于先進(jìn)的電腦技術(shù)得以迅速破案的事情。一個(gè)女孩和一個(gè)男子被殺害于車中。警方了解到一輛1950年或1951年制造的Chevrolet牌的車似乎與這件事有牽連。于是借助電腦迅速確定了嫌疑車輛并將嫌疑犯迅速捉獲。 (1) It can be learned from the text that ________． [　　] A． the murderer’s car hit the couple’s car but did not stop B． the murderer was last found with the help of a Chevrolet owner C． the police would not have found the suspect so soon but for the witness D． searching through the file of Chevrolets owners was impossibly difficult (2) The underlined word “investigated” is closest in meaning to “________”． [　　] A． questioned B． supposed C． determined D． discovered (3) Which of the following is true according to the passage? [　　] A． The suspect had often broken the traffic rules before he was caught． B． One of the police officers saw what the suspect did to the couple． C． At least 1950 cars were searched in order to find the suspect． D． The description of the witness turned out to be a lie． (4) The best title for this passage would be ________． [　　] A． Crime－A Problem in the West B． Chevrolet－A Type of an Old Car C． Police－A Force in Catching the Murderer D． Computer－A Help in Fighting against Crime

Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．A;3．A;4．D;
解析：

(1)	通讀文章可以看出，目擊證人(witness)所提供的線索對案件的偵破起到很關(guān)鍵的作用。
(2)	question作動詞意思是“審問、盤問”，能代替文中的investigate。
(3)	短文倒數(shù)第三句 “who had received many traffic tickets．”說明了這一點(diǎn)。
(4)	文章的后半部分主要講述了通過計(jì)算機(jī)儲存的資料才找到了嫌疑犯。
