D. Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题)

One of Britain’s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected police killer David Bieber -- and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to £30,000 reward money.

Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bibber’s bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.

She said: “I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park, I was so glad they were there.”

The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: “He didn’t seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact(接触).” Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.

Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.

“It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?’. My heart missed a beat,”

Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.

“I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man’s room, but I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed.

1.Vicki could get over £30,000 reward money, couldn’t she?

2.How did Vicki feel when she opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policeman lined up in the car park?

3.Why did Vicki become suspicious of David Bieber?

4.Where was David Bieber most probably handcuffed?

5.How long did the whole event probably last from the moment Bieber came to the hotel to the arrival of some armed officers?

The big Town Hall clock was striking midnight when Frank began to cross the bridge. The dark night air was cold and slightly wet, and he could s1. nobody walking on the street.

Frank was anxious to get home and his footsteps rang loudly on the pavement. When he reached the middle of the bridge he thought he could hear someone coming near b2. him. He looked back but could see no one. However, the sound continued and Frank began to walk more quickly. Then he slowed down again, feeling shame at having acted so foolishly. There was n3. to fear in a town as quiet as this.

Just then, he heard short, quick steps closely behind him. By the time he reached the other side of the bridge, he could almost feel someone at his heels(脚后跟). He turned round and there stood a man in a large overcoat. A hat pulled down over his eyes and very l4. of his face could be seen. Frank said something about the weather, trying to sound friendly and calm. The man did not answer but asked rudely where Oakfield House was. Frank pointed to a big house in the distance and the stranger continued his way.

Then Frank w5.why the stranger had wanted to find Oakfield House at such an hour. He knew that the people who lived there were very rich. Almost without realizing what he was doing, he began following the stranger q6.. Then the man was soon outside the house and Frank saw him look up at the window. A l7.was still on and the man waited until it went out. When about half an hour had passed, Frank saw him climb noiselessly over the wall and heard him drop on the ground at the other side.

Now Frank realized what was going to happen. He walked quickly and silently across the street towards a telephone box on the comer.
