Luke says, “At first I was shocked that somebody would do such a thing, but then I saw Jenifer’s and knew that I had to do something. I jumped up and started chasing him down the street and calling‘Thief, stop !’but nobody seemed in stopping him. They were too busy staring, like it was a or something. Luckily, I play soccer for the school team, so I’ve been training all year and I’m in pretty good shape, so I to catch up with him on Third Avenue and knocked him down. Once he was on the I sat on top of him and waited for the police to come. I know that people say you shouldn’t do that kind of thing, you never know what the person can do to you, but I didn’t think about that at the time. I was too ”
However, Jennifer is not the only one who’s grateful for Luke’s bravery. After police had arrested(送签捕) the thief, they his apartment and found over a hundred stolen cell phones and, perhaps more , an address book full of names of various criminal contacts(犯罪联络)， most of whom have now been brought in for as police try to break a growing ring of cell phone criminals.
Cell phone theft(盗窃)is only one of a number of technology – related crimes that police say are on the rise. Businesspeople have been told to be extra with their notebook computers, which are an easy target(目标) for criminals, and new police apartments are being set up to crimes. In the last week alone, the New York Police Department has over six hundred calls from people relating to one of the above crimes.
Thanks to Luke’s bravery and quick thinking, Jennifer didn’t one of those victims (受害者) , and she knows she’s going to thank Luke - by taking him for another meal at the same Indian restaurant. This time, however, she’s going to keep her cell phone in her purse.

解析
试题分析：短文大意：本文讲述了Duke和好友Jennifer 在一家餐馆吃饭，Jennifer手机被偷，Duke毫不犹豫英勇擒贼，最终将贼抓获，送交警察，警察在搜小偷家时发现更重要的犯罪信息，从而提醒市民，尤其是商人要如何预防手机犯罪和相关科技犯罪的思考。
小题1:考查名词及语境理解。句意：但那时我看见珍妮弗的脸，就知道我必须做些什么。purse钱包； phone电话； head脑袋；face脸。根据后文“and knew that I had to do something. I jumped up and started chasing him down the street and calling‘Thief, stop !’可知Duke是从Jenifer的面部表情判断有一个小偷拿了她的东西，然后开始追小偷。因此选择 D.
小题2:考查形容词及语境理解。句意：但似乎没有人对阻止他感兴趣。pleased高兴的； frightened 害怕的； interested有趣的； excited兴奋的。根据but这一转折词和后文“They were too busy staring,” 可知大家对Duke追贼一事的态度是：没兴趣帮忙阻止小偷，而是围观，因此选择 C.
小题3:考查名词及语境理解。句意：像是一部电影或什么。game游戏； movie 电影； story故事； joke笑话。根据前文“They were too busy staring,”大家都盯着Duke抓小偷，而不帮忙，就像在看……或者什么其他东西一样 like it was a or something”，这里只有电影最合适，这是抓贼的场景，不是游戏，故事和笑话，这个场景是动态的，像电影一样最符合逻辑，因此选择 B.
小题4:考查动词及语境理解。managed 经营； tried努力，尝试； hoped希望； meant意思是。从前文“Luckily, I play soccer for the school team, so I’ve been training all year and I’m in pretty good shape,” 幸运的是，作者在校足球队受训整整一年，因此练就了一副好身材，由这些作铺垫，文章第三段讲了这起成功的抓贼事件给警察带来的益处，所以贼肯定是成功抓获了，因此选择 A.
小题5:考查名词及语境理解。句意：有一次他在地上，我坐在他身上等待警察要来。floor地板； grass草； ground地面； bed床。根据常识判断，Duke肯定是将贼打到在地，故选 C.
小题6:考查连词及语境理解。句意：我知道人们说你不应该做那种事情，因为你永远不知道什么人会对你做什么，但我当时没想。because因为；so所以； if 如果；although尽管。由句意“我知道人们会说你不应该做那样的事情，你绝对不会知道那个人会对你做什么，”这两句是因果关系。故选A.
小题7:考查形容词及语境理解。句意：我太气愤。nervous紧张的； sad悲伤的；brave勇敢的；angry生气的。Duke看到好友被抢，可推断他的情绪应该是愤怒，故选D.
小题8:考查动词及语境理解。句意：他们搜查了他的公寓，发现了一百多部被偷的手机。broke损坏； searched搜查；sold出售； discovered发现。警察逮捕了小偷后，根据常理判断，应该是搜查他的公寓。因此选择 B.
小题9:考查形容词及语境理解。句意：也许更重要。important重要的；common普通的； similar相似的；dangerous危险的。根据后文: “an address book full of names of various criminal contacts(犯罪联络),后来找到了一本写有犯罪联络人的名字，比之前找到的超过100部手机，更有价值，所以更重要，故选A.
小题10:考查动词及语境理解。句意：他们中的大部分都被带去问话，警察试图突破电话犯罪的增长。questioning问； testing测验；pretending假装；stealing偷。由前后文义可知这些犯罪联络人被带去警句问话，故选 A.
小题11:考查形容词及语境理解。句意：已经告知商人要特别小心他们的笔记本电脑。serious严肃的； safe安全的； patient有耐心的； careful仔细的。由前文警察说关于手机盗窃和有关科技犯罪案件正在上升，所以商人对他们的笔记本应该格外小心才是，故选 D.
小题12:考查动词短语及语境理解。句意：警局正在建立新的部门来处理这些犯罪行为。care for关注； deal with处理； think about考虑；.belong to属于。故选 B.
小题13:考查动词及语境理解。句意：仅在上周，纽约警方已接到人们关于以上犯罪打来的六百多个电话。made制造；checked检查； received接受； refused拒绝。因此选择C.
小题14:考查动词及语境理解。句意：珍妮佛不会成为一个受害者。trouble麻烦；offer提供； become变成； believe相信。根据前文多亏了Duke的英勇和敏捷的思考，Jennifer没有变成受害者，故选 C.
小题15:考查疑问词及语境理解。句意：她知道她要怎样感谢卢克-通过带他到同一家印度餐厅再吃一顿饭。why为什么；. how 怎么；when何时； whether是否。由后文 “by taking him for another meal at the same”通过这种方式来感谢，因此答案 B. |
举一反三
Sarah ran in, shouting, “Look what I found!” Over the top of the paper I was reading; came a terrible thing that caused me to jump. It was a snake skin found in our garden.
“Isn’t it beautiful?” said my seven-year-old daughter.
I opened my eyes widely and looked at the snake skin in fear. I didn’t think it was beautiful, but I learned never to appear nonchalant(冷漠的)with children. Everything they see for the first time is important to their sense of beauty; they see only excellence in the world.
“Why does it do this?” Sarah asked.
“Snakes shed(蜕) their skins because they need to renew themselves,” I explained.
“Why do they need to renew themselves?” Sarah asked.
“We often need to shed our skins, those coatings that we cover ourselves with,” I said to my daughter. “We leave some things and find other thing unwanted or unnecessary. This snake no longer needs this skin. It is probably too little for him, and he probably doesn’t think he looks as smart in it as he once did. “
As we talked, I knew that she began to understand. Although she couldn’t understand clearly, she would know that renewal is part of progress; that we need to take a good look at ourselves, our rooms, schoolwork and spirit, and see what we need to keep and what we need to leave. I was careful to tell that this is a natural way, not one to be forced.
“Snakes don’t peel off their skins when they like them. “I explained. “It happens as a natural thing of their growth. “
“I see, Dad,” said Sarah as she held the snake skin, and then ran off.
I hoped she would remember this; we need to throw some away because they are worthless or unnecessary. Then we can store them as memories m our deep hearts.

I found out one time that doing a favor (关心)for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned(倾斜)over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.
Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized（强调）the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.
Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.

Once there was a child ready to be born. So he asked God, “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?”
God replied, “Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will take care of you.” But the child wasn’t sure he really wanted to go. “But here I don’t do anything else but sing and smile, that’s enough for me to be happy.”
“Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel’s love and be happy.”
“And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, ”the child continued,”if I don’t know the language that men talk? ”
God patted (轻怕)him on the head and said, “Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear.Your angel will teach you how to speak. ”
“And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?”
But God had an answer for that question too. “Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray(祈祷). ”
“I’ve heard that on earth there are bad men,who will protect me? ”
“Your angel will defend(保卫)you even if it means risking her life! ”
“But I will always be sad because I will not see you any more, ”the child continued warily.
God smiled on the young one. “Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you how to come back to me, even though I will always be with you.”
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard. The child knew he had to start on his journey very soon. He asked God one more question, softly, “God, please tell me my angel’s name.”
