  • D. A theft.
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] W: Gosh! Have you seen this, Richard? M: Seen what? W: In the paper, it says there's a man going round pretending he's from the electricity board. He's been calling at people's home, saying he's come to cheek that all their appliances are safe. Then he gets around them to make him a cup of tea and while they are out of the room, he steals their money, handbag, whatever and makes off with it. M: But you know Jane, it's partly their own fault. You should never let anyone like that in unless you are expecting them. W: It's all very well to say that, but someone comes to the door and says electricity or gas, and you automatically think they are OK, especially if they flash a card to you. M: Does this man have an ID then? W: Yes, that's just it! It seems he used to work tot the electricity board at one time. According to the paper, the police are warning people, especially pensioners not to admit anyone unless they have an appointment. It's a bit sad. One old lady told them she'd just been to the post office to draw her pension when he called. She said he must have followed her home. He stole the whole lot. M: But what does he look like? Surely they must have a description. W: Oh, yes, they have. Let's see. In his thirties, tall, bushy dark hair, slight northern accent, sounds a bit like you actually. [解析] 细节题。听完全文可知这是盗窃案,因此正确答案为D。
