【题目】The FBI is investigating the disappearance of a visiting Chinese scholar from a central Illinois university town as a kidnapping(绑架) as her whereabouts(下落) have remained unknown since Friday.

Zhang Yingying, 26, was last seen on June 9 near the north end of the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign(UIUC), wearing a charcoal-colored baseball cap, a pink and white top, jeans and white tennis shoes and carrying a black backpack. She boarded a Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District bus and exited the West Springfield and North Mathews avenues at 1:52 pm local time(1852 GMT), police said.

The FBI has labeled the case as a kidnapping but isn’t ruling out anything, said Campus police spokesman Patrick Wade. The suspect appears to be a white male who was in a car and stopped to talk to Zhang on Friday afternoon, the FBI said. Almost one month into a yearlong appointment at the UIUC campus, Zhang’s friends told police that she was heading to an apartment complex in Urbana to sign a lease(租约).

Security camera footage(连续镜头) on Monday released by university police showed that Zhang talked to the driver of a black Saturn Astra, about five blocks from where she got off a bus in Urbana on Friday afternoon. She entered the car shortly thereafter. Zhang has not been seen or heard from since then and attempts to contact her by phone remain unsuccessful. Authorities have asked the public to help identify that vehicle.

A massive search has been launched in Urbana in the US state of Illinois since Zhang’s disappearance. Police are interviewing with her colleagues, checking local hospitals and coordinating with ride-hailing(打车) companies as part of their investigative efforts.

In an interview with Xinhua through Wechat on Thursday, Zhang Ronggao, father of the missing visiting scholar from China’s Fujian Province, expressed gratitude to all the people involved in the search and asked US police to accelerate the search.

1Why did Zhang Yingying leave for an apartment complex?

A. To visit a friend there. B. To rent a place to live.

C. To apply for a part-time job. D. To go to her dormitory there.

2The possible meaning of the underlined phrase “rule out” in Para. 3 is “________”.

b. She talked to the driver of a black Saturn Astra.

d. She boarded a Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District bus.

A. b→a→d→c B. c→b→a→d

C. d→c→b→a D. a→b→d→c

4What can be the best title for the news report?
