Question

　 “I wish Central Bank would be robbed,” George Pickens said to himself. He had been making this wish daily from the time he had started work as a teller(出納)at the bank.

　 Of course, George had a reason for wanting the bank to be robbed. He had a plan. It went like this:

　 If Bank Robber A threatens(威脅)Bank Teller B…

　 What is to prevent Bank Teller B from keeping all the money left and declaring that it was stolen by Bank Robber A?

　 Then one afternoon Bank Robber A, who was wearing a mask, appeared. He rushed to George’s cage with a gun.

　 “All right,” he said, “Hand it over!”

　 George reached into his cashbox(現(xiàn)金箱),took all the bills from top section, and passed them to the robber. The robber turned to leave with the bills.

　 Then, while everyone watched Bank Robber A, Bank Teller B took the bills from the bottom section of the cashbox and put them into his own pockets.

　 The next morning when George arrived at the bank, he was called into Mr Burrows’ office. “George,” the bank president said, “I want you to meet Mr Carruthers, who used to be president of our bank.”

　 “Good morning, George,” said Mr Carruthers. “I was sorry to give you a hard time yesterday, but with so many banks being robbed these days I thought it would be a good idea to prove that our bank can be robbed too. That’s why I played my little game yesterday.”

　 “I don’t understand,” said George. “What game?”

　 The old man laughed. He placed a mask over his face, and said: “All right. Hand it over!” Mr Burrows laughed but George did not.

　 “And the money?” George asked in a small voice.

　 “Don’t worry,” Mr Carruthers said. “I put it all back in your cashbox. We’re just finishing up the audit(算賬)now.”

　 Behind them, the door opened and Mr Bell, the chief auditor(查賬員), put his head into the room. “Mr Burrows,” he said seriously, “may I see you a moment?”

Answer 1

1. 選【C】。這是一道細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第八、九段可知，George的現(xiàn)金箱被劫匪搶

　　　　　 劫，所以將現(xiàn)金放進(jìn)自己口袋里的Bank Teller B只能是George。

2. 選【D】。這是一道細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后Mr Carruthers對George說“Don’t worry,”

　　　　　 以及George小聲地說話可以看出，George很擔(dān)心，所以選D。

3. 選【C】。這是一道推理判斷題。通過聯(lián)系上下文，George將現(xiàn)金箱里的現(xiàn)金放進(jìn)了自

　　　　 　 己的口袋里。由此可推斷出查賬員將要告訴Mr Burrows現(xiàn)金箱里丟失了錢�！�

　　　　　 A、B、D與原文意思不符，所以被排除。
