Hugh Troy, a well-known artist, was a very interesting and clever person who spent most of his life playing tricks for the joy of it.
One winter, while a student at Cornell University in New York, Troy got hold of a very old and ugly wastebas-ket with a real rbinoceros(犀牛) foot as its base. He filled it with metal weights and tied 30 feet of clothes-line to either side. Later one night he and a friend carried it out onto campus, pulling the lines straight between them. Every few feet they would lower it into the snow, their own footprints so far away as to raise no suspicions(怀疑).
The next morning someone noticed the prints and invited learned professors to come and have a look. Excitedly, they followed the rhinoceros tracks. Then they were led onto the ice covering Beeb Lake, which connected to where the school got its drinking water. There the tracks ended in a huge hole.
It was said that half the population of Cornell stopped drinking tap water. Those who continued to drink it insisted mat it tasted like rhinoceros. [br] Why did someone ask learned professors to examine the prints?
选项
A、They knew where the rhinoceros existed in winter.
B、They might be able to explain what had happened.
C、They were looking for this animal just then.
D、They enjoyed following animal tracks.
答案
B
解析
从文章的第三段内容“The next morning someone noticed the prints and invited learned professors to come and have a look.”可知,人们在看到了印迹后不得其解,所以请来教授来解释原因。故正确的答案为B。
