第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从各篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

A policeman was questioning 3 blondes (金发女郎) who were training to become detectives. To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the first blonde a picture for 5 seconds and then hides it．

“This is your suspect (嫌疑犯); how would you recognize him?”

The first blonde answers, “That's easy, we'll catch him fast because he only has one eye!” The policeman says, “Well．．．uh．．．that's because the picture shows his profile (侧面画像).”

Slightly confused by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture for 5 seconds at the second blonde and asks her, “This is your suspect; how would you recognize him?”

The second blonde giggles, flips her hair and says, “Ha! He'd be too easy to catch because he only has one ear!”

The policeman angrily responds, “What's the matter with you two? Of course only one eye and one ear are showing because it's a picture of his profile!! Is that the best answer you can come up with?”

Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows the picture to the third blonde and in a very testy voice asks “This is your suspect; how would you recognize him?” He quickly adds, “Think hard before giving me a stupid answer.”

The blonde looks at the picture intently(专注地) for a moment and says, “Hmmmm…the suspect wears contact lenses (隐形眼镜).”

The policeman is surprised and speechless because he really doesn't know himself if the suspect wears contacts or not. “Well, that's an interesting answer… Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file and I’ll get back to you on that.” He leaves the room and goes to his office, checks the suspect's file in his computer, and comes back with a beaming smile on his face. "Wow! I can't believe it… It's TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such an acute observation?"

“That's easy,” the blonde replied. “He can't wear regular glasses because he only has one eye and one ear.”

51. Why did the policeman show a picture to the three blondes?

A. To question them about their relationship with the suspect．

B. To test their ability of being detectives．

C. To train them as qualified police officers．
