The Forbidden Apple
New York used to be the city that never sleeps. These days it's the city that never smokes,drinks or does anything naughty(at least,not in public).The Big Apple is quickly turning into the Forbidden Apple.
If you wanted a glass of wine with your picnic in Central Park,could you have one?No chance. Drinking alcohol in public isn't allowed. If you decided to feed the birds with the last crumbs（碎屑）of your sandwich, you could be arrested. It's illegal. If you went to a bar for a drink and a cigarette,that would be OK,wouldn't it?Er…no.You can't smoke in public in New York City.
What's going on?Why is the city that used to be so open-minded becoming like this?
The mayor of New York is behind it all. He has brought in a whole lot of new laws to stop citizens from doing what they want,when they want.
The press are shocked. Even the New York police have joined the argument. They re- cently spent$100,000 ona“Don't blame the cop”campaign. One New York police officer said,”We raise money for the city by giving people fines for breaking some very stupid laws. It's all about money.”

参考解析
解析：题干意为“在纽约城最近有一些活动已经变得不合法了”。利用题干中的名词及名词短语some activities, New York作为定位线索，同时关注题干中的修饰词illegal，这 样在第二段中找到相关句：Drinking alcohol in public isn't allowed. If you decided to feed the birds with the last crumbs（碎屑)of your sandwich, you could be arrested. It's illegal．相关句 意为“公共场所不许喝酒，不许用面包屑喂鸟，否则会被逮捕”。题干句其实是对短文中列举的这些细节信息的概括，两者意义一致。所以答案为A。
题干意为“在纽约城的任何地方吸烟或喝酒都是违法的”。利用题干中的名 词及名词短语alcohol , New York作为定位线索，在短文中找到相关句：You can't smoke in public in New York City．相关句提到“在纽约城里你不能在公众场合下吸烟”。短文只说在公共场合下不能吸烟，没有说在纽约城的任何地方都不能吸烟，因此题干陈述的意义与短文中的相关信息矛盾，不一致。所以、答案为B。
题干意为“在公园里吃苹果是非法的”。利用题干中的名词apples , park作为定位线索，结果发现短文中根本没有提到能否在公园里吃苹果，因此题干陈述的信息为短文中未提及的信息。所以答案为C。

题干意为,(（名利场》杂志的编辑认为一些新的法规很愚蠢”。利用题干中的名 词及名词短语editor of Vanity Fair magazine , the new laws作为定位线索，在短文中找到相关句： The angry editor of Vanity Fair magazine,Graydon Carter,says,”Under New York city law it is acceptable to keep a gun in your place of work , but not a empty ashtray.”相关句提到（（名利场》杂志的编辑嘲讽根据纽约的法律枪支可以带到工作场所，但却不可以带一个空的烟灰缸，依据相关句的内容可以看出《名利场》杂志的编辑认为新的法规的做法是很愚蠢的。所以答案为A。
