Answer 1

答案：1．D;2．D;3．B;4．A;5．C;
解析：

(1)	根据在文章中Dr Berlin所做的事情可以判断出他是一位私人侦探。
(2)	常识性试题。案发时候只的Nancy和Mrs Green在家中。所以Dr．Berlin找Nancy谈话，是为了找一些线索，这个时候他还没有怀疑Nancy偷的项链。
(3)	因为项链放在起居室中的桌子上，然后被别人偷走了，所以Nancy说她六点半到家，然后直接回到自己的房间里，这是为了让别人认为她并没有去过起居室。
(4)	have been doing表示“一直做某事，没有停下过”。
(5)	Dr．Berlin发现Nancy房间中惟一的一把椅子是冷的，而Nancy却说一直坐在椅子上整晚上在读书，这显然是撒谎。
