A thief entered the bedroom of the 30th president of the United States, who met him and helped him free.
The event happened in the early morning in one of the first days when Calvin Coolidge came into power. He and his family were living in the same third-floor suite at the Willard Hotel in Washington that they had moved in several years before. The former President’s wife was still living in the White House.
Coolidge awoke to see a stranger go through his clothes, remove a wallet and a watch chain.
Coolidge spoke, "I wish you won’t take that."
The thief, gaining his voice, said, "Why?"
"I don’t mean the watch and chain, only the charm. Take it near the window and read what is on its back," the President said.
The thief read," Presented to Calvin Coolidge."
"Are you President Coolidge?" he asked.
The President answered "Yes, and the House of Representatives gave me that watch charm. I’m fond of it. It would do you no good. You want money. Let’s talk this over."
Holding up the wallet, the young man said in a low voice, "I’ll take this and leave everything else."
Coolidge, knowing there was $80 in it, persuaded the young man to sit down and talk. He told the President he and his college roommate had overspent during their holiday and did not have enough money to pay their hotel bill.
Coolidge added up the roommate and two rail tickets back to the college. Then he counted out $32 and said it was a loan.
He then told the young man "There is a guard in the corridor." The young man nodded and left through the same window as he had entered.
Which of the following might happen afterwards?
选项
A、The young student repaid the $32.
B、The thief was put into prison.
C、The President told many reporters the thief’s name.
D、The President ordered the young man to repay the money.
答案
A
解析
此题是对细节隐含信息进行逻辑推理的考查。其中关键词是might happen afterwards。考生可依据事件的详细情节,运用常识加以推理,找出意在言外的信息。倒数第2段add ed..,counted out $32说明总统乐于助人;最后一段told the young man...there is a guard...说明总统无意逮住那个贼;文中未提及总统问那人的名字,暗示总统不会告知记者,或让他还钱。因此可以排除B,、C、D项的可能。另外,对第二题的分析中已知那贼因为急用钱而迫于无奈。那么,那贼因感激总统不抓之恩而还钱的可能性很大,故A项是正确答案。
