题目内容
阅读下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出一个最佳答案。
The newspapers soon heard about the jewel robbery. During the night, while the dogs were searching for the thief, reporters telephoned the police and asked for information about the robbery.The police told the reporters the main facts about the robbery, and gave them a brief (简短的) account of the thief. They did not tell the reporters whether any clues (线索) had been found because they did not want the thief himself to read about this in the newspapers. It might help the thief if he knew that the police had some clues.
The newspapers printed photographs of the identikit picture—the picture which Sergeant Morris had made from Betty's description (描述) of the thief. The identikit picture was shown on the television news programmes, too; and viewers were asked to inform the police if they happened to see a man like the one in the picture. While the viewers were looking at the picture on the television screen, the newsreaders told them," This man is wanted by the police for a crime (罪行) of robbery with violence (暴力). The man may be dangerous. He may be carrying a gun. If you see this man, do not try to stop him. Telephone the nearest police station at once."
