Whom did the lady first think of to help her out? [br]
The old lady was glad to be back at the block of her flats, but she found that her front door was open. She walked slowly into the hall and noticed at once that all the room doors were open. Looking into the drawing room, she saw a scene of confusion over by her writing desk. It was as clear as daylight then that burglars had forced an entry during the lady’s absence. Her first impulse was to go round all the rooms looking for the thieves, but then she decided that at her age it might be more prudent to have someone with her, so [14B] she went to fetch the porter from his basement. By that time her legs began to tremble, so she sat down and accepted a cup of strong tea, while the porter telephoned the police.
They went through the rooms, being careful to touch nothing, as they did not want to hinder the police in their search for fingerprints. [15A] It seemed as though everything she possessed had been tossed out and turned over and over. At least sorting out the things she should have discarded years ago was being made easier for her. Then a police inspector arrived with a constable and she told them of her discovery of the ransacked flat. The inspector began to look for fingerprints, while the constable checked that the front door locks had not been forced, thereby proving that the burglars had either used skeleton keys or entered over the balcony. There was no trace of fingerprints, but the inspector found a dirty red bag that contained jewellery which the old lady said was not hers. So [17C] their entry into this flat was apparently not the burglar’s first job that day.
选项
A、By force.
B、Through the window.
C、Through her neighbor’s balcony.
D、By using skeleton keys.
答案
D
解析
文中提到,警官(the constable)发现前面大门的锁没有被撬过,这就证明窃贼或是用了万能钥匙(skeleton keys),或是从阳台钻进来的,[D]可能为盗贼入室的方式之一,故为答案。
