Question

【題目】D. Answer the questions （根據(jù)以下內(nèi)容回答問題）

One of Britain’s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected police killer David Bieber -- and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to ￡30,000 reward money.

Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bibber’s bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.

She said: “I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park, I was so glad they were there.”

The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: “He didn’t seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact（接觸）.” Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.

Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.

“It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?’. My heart missed a beat,”

Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.

“I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man’s room, but I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed.

【1】Vicki could get over ￡30,000 reward money, couldn’t she?

【2】How did Vicki feel when she opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policeman lined up in the car park?

【3】Why did Vicki become suspicious of David Bieber?

【4】Where was David Bieber most probably handcuffed?

【5】How long did the whole event probably last from the moment Bieber came to the hotel to the arrival of some armed officers?

本文講述了一個(gè)勇敢的女人協(xié)助警方抓捕罪犯的故事。

【1】根據(jù)文中“It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to ￡30,000 reward money”，可知她將得到3萬的報(bào)酬，答案是肯定的。反意疑問句的肯定回答用yes，主語和謂語要與原句保持一致。故答案為Yes, she could。

【2】根據(jù)文中“But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park, I was so glad they were there”，可知當(dāng)她看到警察的時(shí)候，她是高興的。問句中用的助動詞一般過去時(shí)did，所以回答時(shí)句子要用一般過去時(shí)。故答案為she felt glad。

【3】根據(jù)文中“The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face”，可知，Vicki之所以懷疑David，是因?yàn)樗�在辦理入住的時(shí)候沒帶行李并戴著太陽鏡和帽子幾乎擋住他的臉。故答案為Because he checked in at 3 pm the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face。

【4】根據(jù)文中“I could not see into the man’s room, but I could see the passage.…while he was handcuffed”，可知David是在酒店的走廊被戴上手銬的。故答案為The passage of the hotel。

【5】根據(jù)文中“the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before New Year’s Eve”和“It was about ten past two in the morning”，可知從他入住下午3點(diǎn)到第二天凌晨2點(diǎn)10分被抓捕，整個(gè)抓捕過程大概持續(xù)了11個(gè)小時(shí)。故答案為About eleven hours。
