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 根据文中两个人鬼祟的动作及活动时间mid-night，还有他们的语言“that’s the police!”“It’s a trap．”然后想逃跑可知这两个人是小偷。 　　2．B 由文中可看出Lacey指导Bames不要带手枪，让他跟着自己以及在他发觉警察到来之后，指导Bames逃走可知AD都正确，由文中房子里灯闪了一下，两下，三下很可能是他同伙的暗号，可一进房子就陷入了警察的包围，可见警察是做暗号引诱其上钩的人，且对他们活动的方式很了解。 　　3．B 此题采用排除法，因为他们最后的落脚点是the kitchen，所以a一定是最后一个顺序，而ACD都不是，故排除。
