Question

Byme turned the key in the heavy lock and put it calmly in his pocket．He did so much more from caution(小心翼翼)from any kind of fear．This was the only entrance to the house, and he did not want to be caught by any danger from outside．He wondered if Tom Corbin had been as careful the night before．Though Tom would be away for at least three days, Byme had a strange feeling of his fearness．In the stillness he seemed to hear Tom's voice．He looked around quickly, for the tricks of hearing were the most realistic of all．But there were only the women．It seemed impossible that Tom should not be there． 　　The girl, carrying a smoky oil lamp, led Byme upstairs．He threw open one after another the doors along the passage．At this, the girl stopped and raised the lamp in each doorway, staring at him at the same time．Satisfied he was the only guest, Byme came to the last door, which the girl threw open herself． 　　“You sleep here, sir,”she said, giving him the lamp．“Your friend slept here too．It's our most comfortable bed．” 　　“Good night, miss,”he said politely． 　　Her lips moved in reply, but he did not catch the words．Her eyes never for a moment left his face．He stepped in, and as he turned to close the door she was still motionless(不动的)．He paused, and in the silence thought he again heard the sound of Tom's voice．The sound terrified him now, not only because it seemed much nearer but also because he imagined a note of warning in it． (1) We know from the passage that Tom Corbin ________． [　　] A． had left the house three days before B． he felt quite as suspicious as Byme was C． had stayed in the house for three days D． had slept in the house the night before (2) Byme was surprised when he turned round because ________． [　　] A． Tom was not there B． he had not expected to find Tom there C． there was no danger behind him D． the women were there (3) Why did Byme look inside each room?
