W: Gosh! Have you seen this, Richard?
M: Seen what?
W: In the paper, it says there’s a man going round pretending he’s from the electricity board. He’s been calling at people’s homes, saying he’s come to check that all their appliances are safe. Then he gets around them to make him a cup of tea and while they are out of the room, he steals their money, handbag, whatever and makes off with it.
M: But you know Jane, it’s partly their own fault. You should never let anyone like that in unless you are expecting them.
W: It’s all very well to say that, but someone comes to the door and says electricity or gas, and you aut0matically think they are OK, especially if they flash a card to you.
M: Does this man have an ID then?
W: Yes, that’s just it! It seems he used to work for the electricity board at one time. According to the paper, the police are warning people, especially pensioners not to admit anyone unless they have an appointment. It’s a bit sad. One old lady told them she’d just been to the post office to draw her pension when he called. She said he must have followed her home. He stole the whole lot.
M: But what does he look like? Surely they must have a description.
W: Oh, yes, they have. Let’s see. In his thirties, tall, bushy dark hair, slight northern accent, sounds a bit like you actually.

选项 A、She was robbed near the parking lot.
B、All her money in the bank disappeared.
C、The pension she had just drawn was stolen.
D、She was knocked down in the post office.

答案 C

解析 What does the woman speaker tell us about the old lady?
细节题。考查极端化表达“just”。文中女士说到“One old lady told them she’d just been to the post office to draw her pension when he called. She said he must have followed her home. He stole the whole lot.”(一位老妇人报警说当犯罪嫌疑人打电话时,她刚从邮局中取出她的退休金。她说那个人一定是从邮局尾随她回家并偷走她所有的钱的)。所以[C]是正确答案。
