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 didn’t expect that her front door______.
选项 A、could be opened with an outside knob instead of a key
B、was opened by taking advantage of the letter-box
C、was opened with a master key
D、needed a piece of wire to open it
答案B
解析 推理判断题。由文章最后一段第三、五、六句的描述可知，小偷并没有用万能钥匙(master key)打开房门，而是先推开了克拉克夫人的信箱，然后用手拿一根长金属丝通过信箱去勾门把手。所以，克拉克夫人吃惊的应该是小偷竟利用她的信箱打开房门。故选B。
