At two o’clock a bank robber stole in. “This is a hold-up,” the man said loudly. He took a gun from under his jacket, pointing to George. “Hand it over!” George reached into his money-box and took all the bills from the top part --- close to six thousand dollars. The robber took them and turned to leave. Then, while everyone watched the robber, George calmly lifted the top part of the money-box, took bills from the bottom part and put them into his own pocket secretly. The door was shut and the bank robber was gone. George fainted（暈倒）. As soon as he was safely behind his bedroom door, George counted the money. He had eight thousand dollars. He was very happy.
The next morning, while the others were checking the bank’s records, George was asked to go to Mr. Burrow’s office and was introduced to Mr. Carruthers, who used to be president of the bank.
　　“Good morning, George, I was sorry to give you a hard time yesterday, but with all the banks being robbed these days I thought it would be a good idea to prove that our small bank can be robbed, too. I have retired （退休）, but I am always thinking of our bank. That’s why I played my little game yesterday, just to keep everyone on his toes（趾）. Now, I have put the money back in your money-box all six thousand.”
小題1: Which of the following do you think is TRUE?

試題分析：通過閱讀短文我們可以知道喬治在劫匪搶劫的同時，也把一部分錢塞進了自己的口袋。結(jié)果第二天假扮劫匪的銀行前總裁來還錢，并說明了自己假扮劫匪的目的是什么。讓喬治的小把戲漏了餡兒。
小題1:通過閱讀短文可知沒有知道在那天銀行會被搶劫，故選D。
小題2:通過第三段描述可知卡拉瑟斯先生是來解釋那天的事情的，故選C。
小題3:通過卡拉瑟斯先生的行為結(jié)合他的談話，可知他這么做的動機就是想提醒人們注意，就是小銀行也會遭到搶劫，故最佳答案為D，讓人們時刻準備著來臨的危險。
小題4:通過短文描述可以知道卡拉瑟斯先生歸還了6000美元，但是只要對比銀行的賬目就會發(fā)現(xiàn)還少了喬治拿走的那部分，因此對于此時的喬治來說，應(yīng)該是害怕，故選A。
點評：本文幾個小題出的很有水平，和短文既緊密相連又不能直接找出答案，必須在弄懂全文后才能推理出來。所以答題前必須要認真閱讀短文，弄清題意，根據(jù)相關(guān)信息認真分析。
