2014江苏省南京市高考英语阅读理解巩固自练（5）及答案 (2013·沈阳市二模，A) The owner of a missing cat is asking for help. “My baby has been missing for over a month now, and I want him back so badly，” said Mrs. Brown, a 56yearold woman. Mrs. Brown lives by herself in a park near Clovis. She said that Clyde, her 7yearold cat, didnt come home for dinner more than a month ago. The next morning he didnt appear for breakfast, either. After Clyde missed an extraspecial lunch, she called the police. When the policeman asked her to describe Clyde, she told him that Clyde had beautiful green eyes, had all his teeth but was missing half of his left ear, and was seven years old and completely white. ?Is Clyde your child or your pet？” the officer asked. “Well, hes my cat.” Mrs. Brown replied. “Lady, you should report missing PERSONS, not missing CATS！” said the annoyed policeman. “You can ask around your neighborhood or put up flyers.” Mrs. Brown figured that a billboard would work a lot better than an 8?11 piece of paper on a telephone pole. There was an empty billboard at the end of her street just off the highway, with a phone number on it. She called that number, and they told her they could put up a picture of Clyde on the billboard for all to see. They told her it would cost only ￥3 000 a month. So she took most of the money out of her savings account and rented the billboard for a month. The month has passed, but Clyde has not appeared. Because she has almost no money in savings, Mrs. Brown called the local newspaper to see if anyone could help her rent the billboard for just one more month. She is waiting but, so far, no one has stepped forward. 文章大意：本文是一篇新闻报道。一个老太太的宠物猫丢失一个多月了，她就此请求大家给予帮助。 1．The underlined word “flyers” in the second paragraph probably means ________.
