2016届高考英语二轮复习阅读理解一百四十集选练：（96）

　　A．Finding a lost guitar. B．Finding the cab driver.

　　C．Finding murderers. D．Enjoying one's own life

　　答案：C　细节题。根据第三段“...finding guitars was not as important as finding murderers....”说明在警察看来寻找杀人犯比寻找吉他(当然和其他任何事相比都)更重要。

　　．The underlined word“depressing”can be best explained by“________”．

　　A．making people feel sad

　　B．making people unfortunate

　　C．making people losing money

　　D．making people losing good luck

　　答案：A　词义理解题。根据第四段第二句“I had to postpone the recording of two new CDs. I've been using borrowed guitars. And....”可推测出Lennon度过了一年很痛苦的日子，主要是丢掉了心爱的吉他和由于此事给他带来的种种事业中的不顺畅，因此可推测出depressing在这种的意思相当于making people feel sad。

　　阅读理解, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

　　Education in the United States is compulsory for children up to about the age of sixteen. Most young people stay in school longer than that. Most graduate from high school at the age of 17 or 18.

　　Almost half of these high school graduates continue their education at a college or university. Education for most young people in this country is free up to the time they graduate from high school. There are private schools, but most parents send their children to public schools, where students do not pay tuition. When young people go to college, however, they must pay tuition at a public university or a private university. University costs are going up a lot：private universities have become very expensive because the government does not help them.
