问题     Hugh Troy, a well-known artist, was a very interesting and clever person who spent most of his life playing tricks for the joy of it.
    One winter, while a student at Cornell University in New York, Troy got hold of a very old and ugly wastebas-ket with a real rbinoceros(犀牛) foot as its base. He filled it with metal weights and tied 30 feet of clothes-line to either side. Later one night he and a friend carried it out onto campus, pulling the lines straight between them. Every few feet they would lower it into the snow, their own footprints so far away as to raise no suspicions(怀疑).
    The next morning someone noticed the prints and invited learned professors to come and have a look. Excitedly, they followed the rhinoceros tracks. Then they were led onto the ice covering Beeb Lake, which connected to where the school got its drinking water. There the tracks ended in a huge hole.
    It was said that half the population of Cornell stopped drinking tap water. Those who continued to drink it insisted mat it tasted like rhinoceros. [br] Troy wanted people to believe that a rhinoceros______.
选项 A、might appear on campus again
B、might exist in this area all the time
C、had dug a hole for its winter home
D、had fallen into the lake through a hole
答案 D
解析 从文章的内容“There the tracks ended in a huge hole．”可知，特洛伊让这些脚印在一个窟窿旁边消失了。文章最后说一半的居民不再饮用自来水了，可见人们认为犀牛掉进水源了。故正确的答案为D。
