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.
On the third Thursday Mrs. Clarke went out because she wanted to______.
选项
A、seek help to find out the truth of the cigarette smoke
B、see if the thief was hanging about outside
C、resume her normal visit to the club -
D、catch the thief by trick
答案
D
解析
推理判断题。由文章第三段的描述可知,克拉克夫人在“第二个周四”一直待在家里,结果什么也没有发生,所以她猜测可能是有人在监视她的行踪。在接下来的“第三个周四”,她像往常一样出门,但并没有去俱乐部,而是抄近路回家了。由此可推知,克拉克夫人出门是为了迷惑小偷。故选D。
