题目：
阅读理解。 Most shoplifters (商店扒手) agree that the January sales offer wonderful opportunities for the hard-working thieves. With the shops so crowded and the staff so busy, it does not require any extraordinary talent to help you to take one or two little things and escape unnoticed. It is known, in the business, as "hoisting". But now the hoisting game is not what it used to be. Even at the height of the sales, shoplifters today never know if they are being watched by one of those evil little balls that hang from the ceilings of so many department stores above the most desirable goods. As if that was not trouble enough for them, they can now be filmed at work and obliged to attend a showing of their performance in court. Selfridges was the first big London store to install (安装) closed-circuit videotape equipment to watch its sales floors. In October, last year, the store won its first court case for shoplifting using an evidence – a videotape clearly showing a couple stealing dresses. It was an important test case which encouraged other stores to install similar equipment. When the balls, called sputniks, first make an appearance in shops, it was widely believed that their only function was to frighten shoplifters. Their somewhat ridiculous (古怪的) appearances, the curious holes and red lights going on and off, certainly make the theory believable. It did not take long, however, for serious shoplifters to start showing suitable respect. Soon after the equipment was in operation at Selfridges, store detective Brian Chadwick was sitting in the control room watching a woman secretly putting bottles of perfume into her bag. "As she turned to go," Chadwick recalled, "she suddenly looked up at the sputnik and stopped. She could not possibly have seen that the camera was trained on (对准) her because it is completely hidden, but she must have had a feeling that someone was looking at her." "For a moment she paused, but then she returned to counter and started putting everything back. When she had finished, she opened her bag towards the camera to show it was empty and hurried out of the store." 1. January is a good month for shoplifters because ______. A. thieves have much previous experience then B. they don't need to wait for staff to serve them C. there are always so many people in the stores D. January sales offer them wonderful chances 2. The sputniks hanging from the ceiling are intended ______. A. to watch the most desirable goods B. to make films that can be used as evidence C. to frighten shoplifters by their appearance D. to be used as evidence against shoplifters 3. The case last October was important because ______. A. the evidence supplied was accepted by court B. the equipment could frighten shoplifters C. the other shops began to copy the method D. the store got all the stolen dresses back 4. The woman stealing perfume ______. A. was frightened by the shape of the sputnik B. guessed the sputnik was aiming at her C. saw the detective sitting in the control room D. found the camera was busy filming her 5. The woman's action before leaving the store shows that she ______. A. decided she didn't want anything stolen B. was sorry for what she had done C. would never do any stealing in this store D. was afraid she would be arrested

解析：

考点名称：日常生活类阅读 日常生活类阅读的概念： 日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。 日常生活类阅读题答题技巧： 【题型说明】 该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。 【备考提醒】 为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点： 1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢?因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜;试题难，不悲观。 2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。 3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。 4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
