Question

While Nick was on the bus reading his newspaper, the man sitting next to him suddenly pushed a large envelope（信封）into his hands. "Here, take this!" the man said, stood up and got off the bus before Nick could say a word.

    Nick sat there, holding the envelope. It felt heavy.  There was paper inside, or money perhaps. "I'd better hand it over to the police," he thought. There was a police station close to his office. But, as he got off the bus, a man came to him. He seemed to be waiting for something.   "He wants the envelope," Nick thought. Nick began to walk quickly, and the man hurried after him. Nick managed to lose the man in the crowd（人群）．When he entered the police station, the man was no longer in sight.

    Inside the police station, Nick handed over the envelope to the policeman who was on duty.  The man opened it. The envelope was full of money, false（假的）money.“Clearly the man made a mistake," the policeman said. "He thought you were one of the gang（团伙）!”

    “However," the policeman went on. "I'm afraid I must ask you to keep quiet about all this.  We are trying to catch some very clever thieves, and we don't want them to know that we have some of the money. So you mustn't say a word to anyone-not even to your boss!"

1.C

2.D

3.C

【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：尼克正在公共汽车上看报，坐在他旁边的人突然把一个大信封塞到他的手里。尼克发现里面可能是钱，于是决定要把它交给警察，但是，他下车时，一个男人就走近他。他似乎在等待着什么。尼克设法躲开那人到了警察局。在警察局里，尼克把信给了在值班的警察。打开信封里面全假币。显然那个人以为尼克是同伙。

1.细节理解题。根据最后一段中I'm afraid I must ask you to keep quiet about all this.  We are trying to catch some very clever thieves, and we don't want them to know that we have some of the money. 可推断出给尼克信的人是最有可能诗小偷，所以选C。

2.细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句the policeman said. "He thought you were one of the gang!”可知那个男人认为尼克是他们一伙的，所以选D。

3.细节理解题。根据文章最后几句，我们可以推断尼克会对所发生的事保持一段时间沉默，所以选C。
