Question

【题目】Victor had to stay late at the hospital that night to do an operation. He finally left at about 11 p.m. He drove home slowly because the weather was terrible--the wind was blowing and it was raining heavily. He was turning into a road when a man suddenly ran in front of his car. Victor almost hit the man, but he stopped just in time. Victor was afraid and the man looked afraid too. Victor got out of the car but the man ran away before Victor could ask if he was all right. It was very strange.

When Victor got home, the lights were on but it was very quiet. He called his wife but there was no answer. Then Victor remembered that she was out at a concert.

Victor was still very upset about what happened on the road, so he made himself a drink. Then he went upstairs to have a bath. He saw that the window in bedroom was open. This was strange because his wife always locked the doors and windows before she went out. She was afraid of burglars. When he went to close it, he found Ellen. She was lying on the floor. He rushed over and felt for her pulse(脉搏) but she was dead. He sat on the floor beside her body and was too afraid to do anything.

【解析】短文大意：一天晚上，维克托在医院做手术直到11点钟才开车回家，因为天气太糟糕了，刮着大风，雨下得很大，维克托差点撞到一名男子。奇怪的是，他还没有来得及询问那个人是否有事，那个人就跑掉了。当维克托回到家时，看到卧室的窗户是开着的。这很奇怪，因为他妻子在出门前总是把门窗锁上，她害怕窃贼。当他去关闭窗户时，发现他的妻子已经死在了地板上。
