3、now the person to whom he has to make delivery. He will be told just to sit tight in a certain hotel or bar until someone contacts him.

To make identification of mules easier, several syndicates have devised their own club ties so that a mule wearing one can immediately be picked out.
5、Mules often receive careful training before embarking on their first journey. One Beirut organization, for example, uses a room with three airline seats in it. There the trainee mules sit for hours on end wearing weighted smuggling vests beneath their clothes, so that they become accustomed to stand

An outfit in Brussels maintained a comfortable apartment where the mules could relax and get a firm grip on themselves on the night before their first journey; they were helped to dress before setting out for
7、the airport in the morning. More often than not a courier will not know precisely where he is going or what flight number is until he is actually handed his tickets at the airport. This prevents the careless boast in some bar or to a girl friend the night before.Mules occasionally run off with the g
8、oods to keep the profit themselves. As insurance against this, a syndicate often sends a high-up on the same plane to keep a wary eye on couriers, particularly new ones. Even then things can go badly wrong. One international currency smuggler who was having trouble getting money out of Britain was o
9、ffered help by a group of men who said they were in a position to fix thing for a fee of course. Foolishly, the smuggler agreed to accept their help. When he got to Londons Heathrow Airport, he handed over to one of the men a black suitcase containing nearly $90,000 in cash, destined for Frankfurt.
10、Just to keep an eye on things, the smuggler went along on the same plane. When they landed at Frankfurt he was handed back his suitcase. He beat a straight path to the men's toilet, opened the case, and found only old clothes. The courier had switched suitcase en route, but the smuggler could ha

14、1. C mule，骡子是为走私集团交货人的称呼，外号。A. 是为走私集团详细运输走私货物的人。只运输，不交货不能成为骡子。B.负责走私货物的人。也不对，负责者不肯定运输和交货。D.从走私者那里接受指示的人。更不对。2. B blown原义为：欠账了的，被炸毁的，坏了等。这里指：走私分子在过海关，机场检查处出事，不肯定被逮捕。A.逮捕。C.认出，逮捕。D.逃跑。都不符合blown原义。3. D 说明走私分子会把利益归己。最终一段第一句“有时，走私分子带着货物逃跑，把利益归己”。走私集团为防范此事，经常派遣高级人物监视走私人，特殊是新走私者，也于事无补。这段的详细例子：“走私者和托付人同机飞行，
15、到法兰克福机场，9万美金也是不翼而飞，走私者已经捞到手。”就是说明走私者可以为自己留下财路。A.走私者被捕之事，例子中没有提及。B.走私者不去警察局报案，并不易定是胆怯警察局，而是报不了。C.监督毫无用处。是副线。4. D 单个干。这在第一段一起先就点明：“走私商的上层人物(头面人物)必需一起工作，而大多数辛迪加的小组织，特殊是走私分子，他们只知道他们的干脆联系人。一旦他们被逮捕，就没有什么可以出卖的。一个骡子甚至连给他指示的人的姓名都不知道，也不知道如何和此人联系”。A.共同干。B.独立干，走私分子不是独立，大多数是在监督之下。C.有意识地干，上下都是有意识地干。2018年12月高校英语四级阅读200篇汇总
