Question

　　The two men, Lacey and Bames, waited in their car about a quarter of a mile from a big house. They sat there in the darkness, smoking, hardly talking. It was now a little after midnight.

　　At last they saw a light in one of the upstairs windows. It flashed once, twice, three times.

　　“That’s the sign,” Lacey said. Both men got out of the car. They were wearing dark clothes. They now put on gloves. Lacey had a small bag of tools. “Can I bring the gun?” Bames asked.

　　“How many times must I tell you! No guns!” Lacey said angrily. “Not while you’re working with me.” And they entered the garden through a small gate.

　　“I hope there aren’t any dogs,” Bames said as they climbed round the edge of the garden. They were going towards the back of the house.

　　“There are no dogs and no people here,” Lacey told him. “Except for our friend upstairs. Now keep quiet and follow me!”

　　They entered a big yard at the back of the house.

　　“That’s the window over there,” Lacey said, pointing to a small window near the kitchen door. “You wait here. I’ll get through the kitchen window. If I can’t open the door, you’ll have to climb through the window too. ”

　　Lacey crossed the yard. He opened the window without any difficulty and climbed through. But the kitchen door was locked and the key was not there. He went to the window and whistled to Bames.

　　“You’ll have to climb through the window, too,” he said.

　　Just at that moment they heard the sound of a car. It was getting closer to the house at great speed and its lights lit up the house as it got nearer. People got out and they could hear voices.

　　“That is the police!” Bames said, “It is a trap. I knew it. ”

　　“Don’t be worried！” Lacey told him. “Now listen to me. Go back to the car and wait for me there. I’ll join you as soon as I can. Off  you go and keep well in the shadows. ”

Answer 1

答案：A;B;B
解析：

1．A 根據文中兩個人鬼祟的動作及活動時間mid-night，還有他們的語言“that’s the police!”“It’s a trap．”然后想逃跑可知這兩個人是小偷。 　　2．B 由文中可看出Lacey指導Bames不要帶手槍，讓他跟著自己以及在他發覺警察到來之后，指導Bames逃走可知AD都正確，由文中房子里燈閃了一下，兩下，三下很可能是他同伙的暗號，可一進房子就陷入了警察的包圍，可見警察是做暗號引誘其上鉤的人，且對他們活動的方式很了解。 　　3．B 此題采用排除法，因為他們最后的落腳點是the kitchen，所以a一定是最后一個順序，而ACD都不是，故排除。
