Question

【題目】 David was bankrupt(城產(chǎn)). He was trying to figure out how to make some money. "Maybe my insurance policy(險(xiǎn)單)can save me," he thought. So he made a plan.

On a Saturday evening, as it got dark outside, he put on a pair of dirty boots and walked through his house. He left many dirty footprints. He went back the way he came while wearing socks. He cut the boots into pieces and flushed (沖走) them down the toilet.

At 1l p.m, he took a pistol (手槍) from his bedside table and went down his hallway without shoes. He fired three shots down the hallway. Then he walked to the other end of the hallway and fired two shots in the opposite direction.

His neighbors soon called the police. Three police officers came to David's house just minutes later.

I can t really tell you much. I was woken by a noise on the ground floor of my home.I took my pistol and went downstairs. Halfway down the stairs. I saw a shadow of a man. I shouted “Stop or I'll shoot."

“He shot at me three times and l shot back twice. The shadow disappeared into the kitchen. More than 15,000 pounds in cash have been stolen from my safe(保險(xiǎn)柜)," David said.

After collecting the footprints and bullies （子彈）in the wall, the officers left. The next day. the police called,"Please get dressed. David,We have to bring you to the police station and ask you about the lies you told us yesterday."

本文主要講述大衛(wèi)為了騙保編造了一個(gè)事故現(xiàn)場(chǎng)，但是最終被警察發(fā)現(xiàn)了。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中“He fired three shots down the hallway. Then he walked to the other end of the hallway and fired two shots in the opposite direction.”可知，大衛(wèi)一共開了五槍，故選B。

【2】詞句猜測(cè)題。Boots靴子；Socks襪子；Pistols手槍；Bullies子彈。根據(jù)前文“He cut the boots into pieces”可知，此處them指代靴子，故選A。

【3】篇章結(jié)構(gòu)題。a. David took a pistol and went down the hallway. 大衛(wèi)拿起手槍，沿著走廊走去。b. David wore dirty boots and left many footprints. 大衛(wèi)穿著臟靴子，留下了許多腳印。The police got a call and arrived soon. 警察接到一個(gè)電話，很快就到了。David fired shots in different directions. 大衛(wèi)朝不同的方向開槍。分子文章可知，時(shí)間先后順序應(yīng)為badc，故選C。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中“He shot at me three times and l shot back twice.”以及“After collecting the footprints and bullies in the wall, the officers left.”可知，警察根據(jù)子彈均來(lái)自一把手槍知道大衛(wèi)在撒謊，故選C。
