Either way, it could be the perfect crime, because the criminals are birdshoming pigeons!The crime begins with a telephone message to the owner of a stolen car: If you want the car back, pay up. Then, the car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a bird cage and how to attach money to the neck of the pigeon inside. Carrying the money in a tiny bag, the pigeon flies off.There have been at least four such pigeon pickups in Changwa. What at first seemed like the work of a clever stayathome car thief, however, may in fact be the work of an even lazier and more inventive criminal mindone that avoids not only collecting money but also going out to steal the car in the first place. Police officer Chen says that the criminal probably has pulled a double trick: He gets money for things he cannot possibly return. Instead of stealing cars, he lets someone else do it and then waits for the carowner to place an ad in the newspaper asking for help.The theory is supported by the fact that, so far, none of the stolen cars have been returned. Also, the amount of money demandedunder 3，000 Taiwan dollarsseems too little for a car worth many times more.Demands for pigeondelivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story. And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal. “We have more important things to do，” he said.【解題導語】本文介紹了一種新型的犯罪行為。臺灣的警察無法斷定這到底是聰明的盜竊行為還是更加聰明的詐騙行為，因為罪犯是信鴿。4After the carowner received a phone call, he_Awent to a certain pigeon and put some money in the bag it carriedBgave the money to the thief and had his car back in a parkCsent some money to the thief by mailDtold the press about itA解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的Then, the car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a bird cage and how to attach money to the neck of the pigeon inside.可知，車主接到電話后，他會被指示去某個公園找到鳥籠，把錢系到鳥籠內(nèi)鴿子的脖子上。故選A項。5The writer mentions the fact that “none of the stolen cars have been returned” to show_Ahow easily people get fooled by criminalsBwhat Chen thinks might be correctCthe thief is extremely cleverDthe money paid is too littleB解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段中的He gets money for things he cannot possibly return.可知，警察認為那些丟車的人根本不可能拿回他的車。故選B項。6The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to_Acriminals BpigeonsCthe stolen cars Ddemands for moneyD解析：詞義猜測題。上文提到一旦報紙報道了這件事，這樣的事情就沒有了。由此可知they就是指代上文提到的Demands for pigeondelivered money。故選D項。7We may infer that the criminal knows how to reach the carowners because_Ahe reads the ads in the newspaperBhe lives in the same neighborhoodChe has seen the carowners in the parkDhe has trained the pigeons to follow themA解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段最后一句. waits for the carowner to place an ad in the newspaper asking for help.可知，罪犯看了報紙上的廣告然后找到丟車的人。故選A項。C(2018湖南部分重點中學考前演練)Im sometimes told, “You have to make your own luck.
