My friend Vernon Davies kept birds. One day he phoned and told me he was going away for a week. He asked me to feed the birds for him and said that he would leave the key to his front door in my mailbox. Unfortunately, I forgot all about the birds until the night before Vernon was going to return. What was worse, it was already dark when I arrived at his house. I soon found that the key Vernon gave me could not unlock either the front door or the back door. I was getting desperate. I kept thinking of what Vernon would say when he came back. I was just going to give up when I noticed that one bedroom window was slightly open. I found a barrel and pushed it under the window. As the barrel was very heavy, I made a lot of noise. But in the end, I managed to climb up and open the window. I actually had one leg inside the bedroom when I suddenly realized that someone was shining a torch up at me. I looked down and saw a policeman and an old lady, one of Vernon’s neighbors.
"What are you doing up there?" said the policeman.
Feeling like a complete fool, I replied, "I was just going to feed Mr. Davies’ birds."
20. Why couldn’t the man open the door?
21. Why did the man feel desperate?
22. Why did the man feel like a fool?
选项
A、He looked silly with only one leg inside the window.
B、He knew the policeman wouldn’t believe him.
C、The torchlight made him look very foolish.
D、He realized that he had made a mistake.
答案
B
解析
作者最终设法爬上去打开了窗户,当他一条腿迈进卧室的时候,突然感觉到有人正用手电筒照向他,他发现是警察和Vernon的邻居。根据他当时的处境可知,警察是不会相信他的。说话人的处境使得他自己都感到很傻,并不是选项A、C、D所说的。
