Question

David Moore taught science at the City School. He needed some expensive books, and so he bought them. He put the books in his car in a quiet street. Then he went to other shops to buy something else. At six he came back to the car. One door was open – and the books were not there! David drove home to Fry Road.

On Friday people read this in the newspaper:

Books: Have you any old books? I buy old and modern books.

Open all day on Saturdays. David Moore, 26 Fry Road.

David stayed at home on Saturday. The first man came at eight. David took him to the kitchen. At half past nine another man arrived. He had a bag under his arm.

“Mr Moore?” the man asked.

“That’s right,” David said. “Can I help you?”

“I’ve got some good books. You buy books, don’t you?”

“Yes. Bring them in. Let me have a look.”

Soon the books were on the dining-table. “Come in now,” David called, “and bring the list.”

A policeman came into the dining-room. He read the names on the books and the names on the list in his hand. They were the same.

“Come with me, sir,” the policeman said to the man.

试题分析：这篇短文描述了摩尔先生智擒小偷的故事。摩尔先生的书被偷后，他就等了一则收购书的广告，最后偷书的小偷自动上门，被一举抓获。

1.根据David Moore taught science at the City School.可知他是一个老师，故选C。

2.根据Open all day on Saturdays. David Moore, 26 Fry Road.联系下文描述，可知这就是Mr Moore 的住址，故选A。

3.根据At six he came back to the car. One door was open – and the books were not there! David drove home to Fry Road.

On Friday people read this in the newspaper根据推理可知，他的当天晚上肯定不能去发消息，而报纸上的新消息只能在他在报社刊登消息后的第二天才能出版，故可知他是在周三买的书，选A。
