Answer 1

答案：B;A;B;D;A
解析：

1、該題的提示句為“Then detectives in Atlanta found a fingerprint. It was on a map in “Galt’s”room in a small hotel. One fingerprint was enough. James Earl Ray’s fingerprints were already on the F.B.I. cards.” 2、該題為時(shí)間計(jì)算題，從案發(fā)的April 4th到June 8th,a detective saw Sneyd’s name on a passenger list，計(jì)算，A為正確答案。 3、文章的最后給了該題有用的信息。 4、該題為細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從案件線索來看，破案是通過fingerprints，而fingerprints是在Atlanta發(fā)現(xiàn)的，并且是名叫James Earl Ray的，故推斷出殺人犯在Atlanta的化名為James Earl Ray。 5、推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中描述加拿大警方在他們護(hù)照辦公室的24 000 張照片中發(fā)現(xiàn)了Ramon George Sneyd，在倫敦機(jī)場偵探們又見到了Sneyd的名字可斷定，他有加拿大護(hù)照。故選A。
