Ⅶ、阅读理解
Three blondes (金发碧眼的女人) were being trained to become detectives by a policeman. To test their skills in recognizing a suspect (嫌疑犯), the policeman showed the first blonde a picture for five seconds and then asked how she could recognize him. She thought it easy, for the suspect had only one eye. The policeman felt disappointed at this funny answer. He showed the second lady the picture for five seconds and asked her how she would recognize him. The second blonde giggled, flipped her hair, and said, "Ha! It’s easy to find the one-eared person!" Her answer also made the policeman angry. Turning to the third lady, he asked, "This is your suspect, and how would you recognize him?" He added quickly, "Think hard before giving a stupid answer." The third blonde looked at the picture carefully for a moment and said, "HMMMM ... the suspect is wearing contact lenses (隐形眼镜)." The policeman was surprised and speechless, because he really didn't know himself if the suspect wore contacts or not. "Well, that is a good answer. Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file." He left the room and went to his office, checked the suspect's file in his computer and returned with a beaming smile. "Wow! I can't believe it ... it's TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such a wise observation?" "That's easy," the blonde replied, "he can't wear glasses because he only has one eye and one ear!"

A. They must be charming.
B. Their observation must be keen.
C. They must be humorous.

2. According to the passage we can infer that ________.
A. the suspect was easy to be recognized
B. the picture was just a side of the suspect
C. the suspect must be a disabled person

A. The first blonde may be accepted as a detective at once.
B. The second blonde may be accepted as a detective at once.

1. A。卓别林因其扮演“小流浪汉”的角色而深受大家喜爱。此处character指“角色”，符合句意。behaviour意为“行为；举止”；personality指“个性”；gentleman意为“绅士”。
2. C。卓别林以其自编、自导、自演出名，句中提到了write(编剧)和perform(演出)，所以direct(导演)符合逻辑。act和perform都可指“表演”；edit意为“编辑”，shoot可指“拍摄”，都与上下文不符。

Ⅶ、阅读理解
1. C。警察之所以培训这样的女士，首先是因为她们的长相，但单凭这些是不能胜任侦探工作的，她们还要有敏锐的观察和分析能力。是否需要幽默，文中并没有提到。
2. B。第一个女孩看到嫌疑犯只有“一只眼睛”，第二个女孩看到只有“一个耳朵”，警察对这两个人的回答都感到滑稽、可笑，由此可以推测这张画像是一个人的侧面照。
3. D。她们本来就是在接受训练，而对于这次测试的结果，可以看出三个人目前在这方面是没有什么值得称赞的，所以继续培训或被解雇的可能性都存在。

4. 去掉must。request连结从句时用虚拟语气，（should）+动词原形。
5. searched for→searched。search的宾语是寻找的东西所在的处所。
6. put→pick。对动词短语的考查，语意为：无意中听说。
7. 去掉was。broke down意为“精神垮了”。break是不及物动词，没有被动形式。
8. at→with。对形容词短语be content with的考查，意为“对……满意”。
9. 去掉was。happened是不及物动词，没有被动形式。
10. however→but。but是连词，连接两个句子，however是副词，有逗号与句子隔开。
