3. Reading comprehension
1. A。 分析：利用题干中的核心结构Ghanaian driver’s response,作为答案线索，注意该题考察考生的推断能力。
One morning I got into three different taxis and announced:” Well, it’s my first day back in New York in seven years. I’ve been in prison.” Not a single driver relied, so I tried again. ”Yeah, I shot a man in Reno,” I explained, hoping the drive would ask me why, so I could say casually,” Just to watch him die.” But nobody asked. The only response came from a Ghanaian driver: “ Reno? That is in Nevada?”(对比前文内容判断Ghanaian driver相对前文中的司机显得很平静，因此判断答案为A。)
2. D。 分析：利用题干中的核心结构Pakistani driver和the middle of the George Washington Bridge作为答案线索，这样发现答案相关句：
A Pakistani driver even turned down a chance to profit from my loss of hope: he refused to take me to the middle of the George Washington Bridge, a $20 trip. “Why you want to go there? Go home and relax . Don’t worry. Take a new job.”
3. B。 分析：利用题干中的核心结构Chemical bank作为答案线索，这样发现答案相关句：
“Hey, there’s another bank,” I said,” could you wait here a minute while I go inside?”
“No, I can’t wait, Pay me now.” His reluctance may have had something to do with money----taxi drivers think the rate for waiting time is too low---- but I think (对应题干中的interpretation，确认该句就是答案的中心)he wanted me to learn that even a bank robber can’t expect unconditional support.
4. C。 分析：利用题干中的核心结构New York taxi drivers作为答案线索，这样发现答案相关句：(在文章开头)
In a moment of personal crisis, how much help can you expect from a New York taxi driver?
再根据解答前面的问题所获得的对全文部分内容的把握，对备选项进行一一分析，筛选，最终确认答案为C。其实文章中第3段第1句话：Taxi drivers were uniformly (一律地)sympathetic when I said I’d just been fired.已经明确的点明了该题的答案。
5. C。对被选项进行分析(该题问及文章的中心，对于这样的题注意利用排除法解答问题。)，判断答案为C。
A How to make taxi riders comfortable(“comfortable”或其近义词的使用在文章并没有看见)
B How to deal with taxi riders.(借助解答前面的题判断文章重要是在讨论纽约出租汽车司机的对作者设置的各种情景的反应问题，因此判断该项不是答案)
C The attitudes of taxi towards the taxi riders having personal cries.
D The attitudes of taxi drivers towards violent criminals.(violent criminals只是汽车司机提到的一个例子，因此不是中心)
