问题     On Thursday afternoon Mrs. Clarke, dressed for going out, took her handbag with her money and her key in it, pulled the door behind her to lock it and went to the Over 60s Club. She always went there on Thursdays. It was a nice outing for an old woman who lived alone.
    At six o’clock she came home, let herself in and at once smelt cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke in her house? How? How? Had someone got in? She checked the hack door and the windows. All were locked or fastened, as usual. There was no sign of forced entry.
    Over a cup of tea she wondered whether someone might have a key that fitted her front door— "a master key" perhaps. So she stayed at home the following Thursday. Nothing happened. Was anyone watching her movements? On the Thursday after that she went out at her usual time, dressed as usual, but she didn’t go to the club. Instead she took a short cut home again, letting herself in through her garden and the back door. She settled down to wait.
    It was just after four o’ clock when the front door bell rang. Mrs. Clarke was making a cup of tea at the time. The bell rang again, and then she heard her letter-box being pushed open. With the kettle of boiling water in her hand, she moved quietly towards the front door. A long piece of wire appeared through the letter-box, and then a hand. The wire turned and caught around the knob(门把) on the door-lock. Mrs. Clarke raised the kettle and poured the water over the hand. There was a shout outside, and the skin seemed to drop off the fingers like a glove. The wire fell to the floor, the hand was pulled back, and Mrs. Clarke heard the sound of running feet.
Mrs. Clarke thought that if someone had made a forced entry, ______.
选项 A、a door or a window would have been damaged
B、he or she might hide somewhere in the house
C、things would have been thrown about
D、he or she might not have a master key
答案A
解析 推理判断题。由文章第二段最后三句“She checked the back door and the windows…There was no sign of forced entry．”可知，克拉克夫人检查了后门和窗户，结果发现一切完好，没有被强行进入的痕迹。由此可推知，克拉克夫人认为如果有人强行进入房间的话，门或窗一定会被损坏的。故选A。
