billboard would work a lot better than an 8?11 piece of paper on a telephone pole. There was an

　　empty billboard at the end of her street just off the highway, with a phone number on it.

　　She called that number, and they told her they could put up a picture of Clyde on the billboard for all to see. They told her it would cost only ￥3 000 a month. So she took most of the money out of her savings account and rented the billboard for a month.

　　The month has passed, but Clyde has not appeared.

　　Because she has almost no money in savings, Mrs. Brown called the local newspaper to see if anyone could help her rent the billboard for just one more month. She is waiting but, so far, no one has stepped forward.

　　文章大意：本文是一篇资讯报道。一个老太太的宠物猫丢失一个多月了，她就此请求大家给予帮助。

　　1．The underlined word “flyers” in the second paragraph probably means ________.

　　A．posters

　　B．pilots

　　C．billboards

　　D．newspapers

　　答案：A　词义猜测题。警察建议Mrs. Brown “put up flyers”，再根据文章第二段倒数第二句“Mrs. Brown figured that a billboard would work a lot better than an 8×11 piece of paper on a telephone pole.”可推知，flyer指的是“an 8×11 piece of paper on a telephone pole”，故答案A海报，符合文义。
