A
One
Sunday
night,
unknown
thieves
stole
two
14th
century
holy
figures(神圣画像)
from
the
St.
Patrick’s
church.
These
figures
were
priceless.
The
thieves
were
observed
by
a
woman
as
they
left
the
church
through
a
small
window.
The
woman
did
not
own
a
telephone,
ran
to
the
telephone
box
and
called
the
police.Inspector(警官)
Mulligan
arrived
at
the
church
at
4:30
which
was
2
hours
after
the
robbery.
Three
hours
after
the
newspaper
report
of
the
robbery
was
printed,
a
Lionel
Hamilton
came
to
John
Mander,
a
reporter
of
the
newspaper.
“Please
take
a
seat,
Mr
Hamilton!"Mander
tried
to
learn
about
the
man.
The
visitor
began
to
speak:The
two
figures
are
in
my
possession
and
I
would
like
to
sell
them
.
.
."
Before
Mander
could
speak,
the
visitor
continued:
“Sure
you
now
can
now
take
me
to
the
police,
but
then
the
figures
will
not
come
back.
I
have
hidden
them
well.
I
guess
their
value
to
be
around
one
million
pounds.
Write
in
your
newspaper
that
I
would
be
happy
with
50
000
pounds.
"
He
carefully
said:”Good,but
how
can
I
be
sure
that
you
are
really
the
thief?"
Hamilton
shook
his
head.
“I
am
not
the
thief.
I
ordered
the
thieves
to
steal
the
figures
and
now
I
am
the
owner,
Sir.
My
men
locked
themselves
into
the
church
in
order
to
be
able
to
demount(拆卸)
the
figures.
I
am
the
owner
of
these
wonderful
figures
since
1:30
this
morning."
Mander
kept
silent
for
a
few
moments
and
then
he
said:
“Wait
a
few
minutes,
I
will
go
and
speak
with
the
boss."
He
came
back
15
minutes
later
and
was
followed
by
a
man.
He
introduced
“Inspector
Mulligan!"
and
Mulligan
said
to
Hamilton:
“Telling
lies
also
has
to
be
learned.
Anyway,
the
thieves
and
figures
were
caught
one
hour
ago."
John
Mander
knew
that
Hamilton’s
story

a

the
robbery

B
Afghanistan(阿富汗)
has
its
own
version(版本)
of
the
famous
British?comedy?actor
Charlie
Chaplin.
His
name
is
Karim
Asir.
He
wears?makeup?and
clothes
to
look
like
Charlie
Chaplin
in
movies.
Asir
also
uses
similar
actions.
He
performs
on
the
streets
in
the
Afghan
capital,
Kabul.
Afghanistan
has
gone
through
many
years
of
civil
conflict(内乱)and
wars.
The
25-year-old
actor
says
his
goal
is
to
use
humor
to
help
take
people’s
minds
off
the
difficulties
they
face
every
day.
“It
is
very
simple,
I
want
to
give
Afghans
a
reason
to?smile,”
he
said.
Charlie
Chaplin
became
famous
during
the
silent
film
age
in
the
1920s.
His
movies
became
popular
around
the
world.
One
of
his
most
memorable?characters?was
a
funny-looking
man
known
as
“The
Little
Tramp.”This
character
had
no
money
and
was
always
getting
into
trouble.
The
creative
methods
he
used
to
get
out
of
trouble
were
always
humorous.
Asir
and
his
family
moved
to
Iran(伊朗)
after
the
Islamic
Taliban
group（塔利班组织）
took
control
of
Afghanistan
in
1996.
He
said
as
a
child
there
he
would
watch
Chaplin’s
movies
on
television.
When
the
family
returned
to
Afghanistan,
Asir
started
wearing
makeup
and
playing
Chaplin’s
characters.
He
also
began
performing
in
public,
even
though
his
parents
expressed
worries
about
him
making
this
his
job.
His
parents
wanted
him
to
get
more
steady
work.
Now,
Asir
says
he
parents
are
pleased
when
they
see
his
videos
getting
more
than
1
million?views
on
YouTube
(?https:?/??/?www.?/?watch?v=AZSc60LJufE&feature=share?).
And
he
said
they
like
that
people
line
up
on
the
street
to
take
pictures
with
him.
But
it
is
not
always
easy
for
Asir
to
perform
in
a
city
where
danger
may
appear
at
anytime.But
Asir
still
performs
in
public
parks,
or
homes.
“I
want
to
give
my
people
a
chance
to
forget
their
problems
such
as
war,
conflicts
in
Afghanistan
and
nothing
can
stop
me
from
being
Charlie
Chaplin,”
he
said.

答案及解析：
A
A
细节理解题。由第四自然段He
said
as
a
child
there
he
would
watch
Chaplin’s
movies
on
television.
When
the
family
returned
to
Afghanistan,
Asir
started
wearing
makeup
and
playing
Chaplin’s
characters.
可知他自幼对卓别林的电影就产生了兴趣。
B段落大意归纳题。本段介绍了Charlie
Chaplin的成名时间，最令人难忘的角色以及他的表演技巧等等。
C
细节阅读及归纳判断题。通过了解Asir的成长经历及卓别林的成名时间对比等，可知答案为C。
D
词意猜测题。由第四自然段可知，Asir经常在街头表演，没有固定工作，所以父母很想让他有一份稳定的工作。
C
逻辑推理题。最后一段主要描写了Asir表演的初衷，那就是希望让阿富汗的人民忘记战乱，说明他对祖国充满了热爱。
B
A
细节理解题。从第一段最后可知，抢劫事件发生在
4:30
前2小时，所以答案应该是A。
B
词意猜测题。根据上文可知，这个访客是来告诉记者John
Mander，两件画像都在他的手上，故选B。
A
此题是主旨归纳题。通过阅读第三自然段可知，本段落主要是访客Lionel
Hamilton向记者John
Mander编造自己的故事。
C
仍然是细节理解题。通过细节阅读，可以排除其它选项；从下文可知，记者马上看穿了Lionel
Hamilton的谎言，所以Lionel
Hamilton编造谎言的水平并不高明。
D
逻辑推理题。通读全文，理清事件的经过，可知访客把事件发生的时间弄错了，这是让记者看出破绽的主要依据。
