解析：

(1)	逃犯Davision乘着大雾躲过了警察的追捕，现在又从地下室转身跑回到大街上。
(2)	take chances的意思是“碰碰运气；冒冒险”，这里指由于Davision认为自己已经沿着大街逃走了，警察不会返回来抓到他了。
(3)	结合后面两句：由于逃犯总是在隐蔽的地方躲藏，所以警察通常会把没有灯的地方视为搜查的主要地方，因此反而最危险。相反，有人住的地方警察通常不会搜查。
(5)	警察不会认为(罪犯会躲到)有人住的地方会躲到。
(6)	try the door意思是“试着开门”，这可以从后面的情节推知(后来是翻窗户进去的)。
(7)	参见前一句。脚步声很慢，可推知警察的搜查行动很仔细、彻底。
(8)	逃犯认为人往往是粗心的，所以想到了撬窗户进入屋子，亮灯以麻痹警察的办法。
(9)	逃犯打开窗户后，就翻窗而入了。
(10)	打开灯以迷惑警察。
(11)	由于亮着灯，所以没有人会认为那是一座空房子(故逃犯不会在那里)。
(12)	found himself in the bathroom是一种习惯表达，意思是“就这样进了浴室”。
(14)	可根据句子开头的luckily选择此答案。
(15)	参见第13空所在句：这之前铃声已响过一次，这是警察第二次摁门铃。
(16)	门开后，看见两个警察站在门外。
(17)	as表“由于”，说明警察来这里的原因：以为房东离开前没有关灯，所以关照一下。
(19)	从No Milk Till Monday警察知道这里没有人，但是灯亮着，以为是主人的失误。
(20)	原本以为屋子里没有人，此时看到有人来开门，自然感到意外，加上正在追捕逃犯，自然要仔细(closely)打量一番。
