A Smuggling Syndicate
The smuggler in many ways is just another international businessman and his turnover would do credit to many international corporations. His business happens to be illegal and risky, but look at the stakes involved: $5 billion worth of heroin smuggled into the United States each year, and $1.5 billion in gold passing annually along smuggling pipelines to India and Indonesia, to France and Morocco, to Brazil and Turkey. Perhaps half of all the watches made in Switzerland reach their eventual wearers by some back door. Most of this illicit trade is carried on with all the efficiency of any multinational company. Entirely legitimate businesses, such as a travel bureau or an import-export agency, are also often fronts for smuggling organizations. One of the world’s largest gold smugglers also owned and operated the franchise for a leading make of British cars in a small Middle Eastern country. He made a good profit from both activities.
A smuggling syndicate operates much like any other business. The boss is really a chief executive. He makes all the plans, establishes international contacts, and thinks up the smuggling routes and method but remains aloof from actual operations. He is aided by a handful of managers looking after such specialties as financing, travel (one reason why many smuggling syndicates find it handy to have their own travel agency), the bribing of airline or customs officials, and recruitment of couriers, or mules as they are called. There may also be someone in charge of local arrangements in the countries to which the smuggled goods is going.
Another similarity between legitimate business and its illegal counterpart is price fluctuation. Just as the prices of products traded legally vary with quality and market conditions such as supply and demand, so do the prices of goods go up and down in the smuggling trade. Consider the price of drugs. Heroin , in whatever form or by whatever name, cone in several grades, each with a going price. The wholesale price at which big dealers sell to big dealers is less than the street price. When the authorities are successful in reducing the supply buy seizures, the price of all grades rises.

3. It can be inferred that a smuggler
[A] may make plan and establish international contacts.
[B] is a real boss.
[C] may make money in different ways .
[D] may sell other goods.
4. One of the best ways smugglers usually take is

[D] to make good profits from both activities.
答案詳解：
1. B. 合法商業(yè)和私運(yùn)的相似性。是這篇文章的中心思想。它是通過對比方法說明這種相似性。并不是兩者對比得出結(jié)論。所以
A. 合法商業(yè)和非法商業(yè)比較。不對。 C. 私運(yùn)者可以從兩種活動中謀取利潤 和 D. 私運(yùn)集團(tuán)中的老板是董事長，只是對比中提到個別具體事實(shí)。不是中心思想。
2. A. 貨物質(zhì)量和市場情況不好。第三段第二句“正如合法商業(yè)按質(zhì)論價(jià)和按市場供需價(jià)一樣，私運(yùn)商品也是按這兩者調(diào)節(jié)價(jià)格的`上升和下降�！彼援�(dāng)質(zhì)量和市場情況不好價(jià)格就跌。
B. 貨物質(zhì)量和市場變化。這并不一定跌價(jià)，也可能上升。 C. 供需不平衡。并沒有說明供大于求，和跌價(jià)無關(guān)。 D. 其它商品價(jià)波動。這不一定下跌。所以B,C,D都不對。
3. D. 可能會賣其他貨品。題目是推斷，(infer)。從第一段最后一句“世界上最大私運(yùn)黃金商之買賣，可推斷出私運(yùn)商照樣可以經(jīng)營其他商品。至于
A. 制定計(jì)劃，簽定合同。 B. 私運(yùn)商是真正的老板。 C. 以不同的方式賺錢，都是文章中直抒，不是推斷出來的結(jié)論。
4. C. 以合法商業(yè)掩護(hù)他們私運(yùn)是私運(yùn)商經(jīng)常采用，也是最佳的方法之一。
A. 多國公司。 B. 只從事非法商貿(mào)，這并不是最佳方法。 D. 從兩方面賺錢，并不是方法，而是有了掩護(hù)所后，多一份收入而已。

The flying fox is not a fox at all. It is an extra large bat that has got a fox’s head, and that feeds on fruit instead of insects (昆蟲). Like all bats, flying foxes hang themselves by their toes when at rest, and travel in great crowds when out flying. A group will live in one spot for years. Sometimes several hundred of them occupy (占據(jù)) a single tree. As they return to the tree toward sunrise, they quarrel among themselves and fight for the best places until long after daylight.
Flying foxes have babies once a year, giving birth to only one at a time. At first the mother has to carry the baby on her breast wherever she goes. Later she leaves it hanging up, and brings back food for it to eat. Sometimes a baby bat falls down to the ground and squeaks (尖叫) for help. Then the older ones swoop (俯沖) down and try to pick it up. If they fail to do so, it will die. Often hundreds of dead baby bats can be found lying on the ground at the foot of a tree.
1. The passage tells us that there is no difference between the flying fox and the ordinary bat in______.
A. their size. B. their appearance.
C. the kind of food they eat. D. the way they rest.
2. Flying foxes tend to ______.
A. double (翻一番) their number every year.
B. fight and kill a lot of themselves.
C. move from place to place constantly.
D. lose a lot of their young.
3. At daybreak every day flying foxes begin to______.
A. fly out toward the sun. B. look for a new resting place.
C. come back to their home. D. go out and look for food.
4. Flying foxes have fights ______.
A. to occupy the best resting places. B. only when it is dark.
C. to protect their homes from outsiders (外來者).
D. when there is not enough food.
5. How do flying foxes care for their young?
A. They only care for their own babies.
B. They share the feeding of their young.
C. They help when a baby bat is in danger.
D. They often leave home and forget their young.
