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.【解题导语】本文介绍了一种新型的犯罪行为。台湾的警察无法断定这到底是聪明的盗窃行为还是更加聪明的诈骗行为，因为罪犯是信鸽。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：细节理解题。根据第二段中的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，车主接到电话后，他会被指示去某个公园找到鸟笼，把钱系到鸟笼内鸽子的脖子上。故选A项。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：推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的He gets money for things he cannot possibly return.可知，警察认为那些丢车的人根本不可能拿回他的车。故选B项。6The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to_Acriminals BpigeonsCthe stolen cars Ddemands for moneyD解析：词义猜测题。上文提到一旦报纸报道了这件事，这样的事情就没有了。由此可知they就是指代上文提到的Demands for pigeondelivered money。故选D项。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：细节理解题。根据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，罪犯看了报纸上的广告然后找到丢车的人。故选A项。C(xx湖南部分重点中学考前演练)Im sometimes told, “You have to make your own luck.
