One of Britain's bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected (可疑的) 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 Roy al Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber’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 (怀疑) of the guest who checked in at 3 p.m. the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing sun glasses 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 (接触). ” Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 p. m.
Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11: 30 p.m. 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 (戴上手铐).”
1. The underlined phrase “be in line for” (Paragraph1) means ______.
A．get
B．be paid
C．ask for
D．own
2. Vicki became suspicious of David Bieber because ______.
A．the police called her
B．he looked very strange
C．he came to the hotel with little luggage
D．he came to the hotel the day before New Year’s Eve
3. Vicki’s heart missed a beat because _____.
A．the phone went again
B．she would be famous
C．the policemen had already arrived
D．she saw 20 policemen in the car-park
4. David Bieber was most probably handcuffed in _______.
A．the passage
B．the man’s room
C．Vicki’s bedroom
D．the top floor room
5. The whole event probably lasted about _______hours from the moment Bieber came to the hotel to the arrival of some armed officers.
A．6
B．8
C．11
D．14

Treasure hunts (寻宝) have excited people' s imagination for hundreds of years both in real life and in books such as Robert Louis Stevenson' s Treasure Island. Kit Williams, a modern writer, had the idea of combining the real excitement of a treasure hunt with clues (线索) found in a book when he wrote a children' story, Masquerade, in 1979. The book was about a hare, and a month before it came out Williams buried a gold hare in a park in Bedfordshire. The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare, but Williams put in a lot of "red herrings", or false clues, to mislead them.
Ken Roberts, the man who found the hare, had been looking for it for nearly two years. Al- though he had been searching in the wrong area most of the time, he found it by logic (逻辑), not by luck. His success came from the fact that he had gained an important clue at the start. He had realized that the words: "One of Six to Eight" under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way to Katherine of Aragon, the first of Henry VIII's six wives. Even here, however, Williams had succeeded in misleading him. Ken knew that Katherine of Aragon had died at Kimbolton in Cambridgeshire in 1536 and thought that Williams had buried the hare there. He had been digging there for over a year before a new idea occurred to him. He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Ampthill, in Bedfordshire, and thought that he must have buried the hare in a place he knew well, but he still could not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon, until one day he came across two stone crosses(十字架) in Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773.
Even then his search had not come to an end. It was only after he had spent several nights digging around the cross that he decided to write to Kit Williams to find out if he was wasting his time there. Williams encouraged him to continue, and on February 24th 1982, he found the treasure. It was worth ??3000 in the beginning, but the excitement it had caused since its burial made it much more valuable.
1. The underlined word "them" (paragraph 1 ) refers to________.
A. red herrings B. treasure hunts
C. Henry VIII's six wives D. readers of Masquerade
2. What is the most important clue in the story to help Ken Roberts find the hare?
A. Two stone crosses in Ampthill. B. Stevenson's Treasure Island.
C. Katherine of Aragon. D. Williams' hometown.
3. The stone crosses in Ampthill were built________.
A. to tell about what happened in 1773 B. to show respect for Henry VIII' s first wife
C. to serve as a roadsign in Ampthill Park D. to inform people where the gold hare was
4. Which of the following describes Roberts' logic in searching for the hare?
a. Henry VIII' s six wives
b. Katherine's burial place at Kimbolton
c. Williams' childhood in Ampthill
d. Katherine of Aragon
e. stone crosses in Ampthill Park
A. a -b- c- e- d B. d- b- c- e- a
