A famous Renoir had been stolen from a museum. Detective Earl Blackman was to work on the case.
Everyone was in the dark before an art professor came to point out the false picture. So the museum even didn’t know when the picture had been stolen. Thousands of people came to visit the museum every day. After long work, some art students were focused on.
The five students who had made copies of the Renoir during the last six months were asked to bring their copies to the museum. The fifth student said she had sold her copy, which was later proved to be the one in the museum. She, however, could only remember the buyer was a man with the little finger on his left hand missing.
Blackman went back and stayed in his office looking at all the pictures of known thieves. No success.
The next afternoon, at about closing time, Blackman went to the museum to ask if the cleaning men were in the museum after everyone else had left. The director told him they had no cleaning man but six cleaning women.
As the detective left the director’s office, he saw five cleaning women. He stopped one and asked about her work. Then came the sixth cleaning woman. She was dressed just like the other women except the gloves on her hands which made her different. Blackman watched her for some time. When she came near, Blackman caught her. The woman cried out in a man’s voice, “What was that?” Blackman was more sure.

解析

试题分析：文章讲述了一个名画失窃的故事。博物馆里的名画被假画替换掉了，报案之后，侦探着手调查。在博物馆工作的六位女清洁工引起了他的注意，其中一位假冒的清洁工所戴的手套露出了马脚。
小题1:根据倒数第二段的“six cleaning women”和最后一段的“Then came the sixth cleaning woman...The woman cried out in a man’s voice,”可知，六个女清洁工中有一个是男的假扮的。当他叫出来时，真相也就大白了。故选D。
小题2:根据第一二、三段的“A famous Renoir had been stolen from a museum...an art professor came to...So the museum even didn’t know when the picture had been stolen...were asked to bring their copies to the museum...looking at all the pictures”可知，名画丢失--美术教授发现博物馆的画是假的--博物馆报案--侦探找来五位学生，收集来四幅画--侦探观察这四幅画。故选C。
小题3:根据最后一段的“...except the gloves on her hands which made her different”可知，第六个清洁工与其他五位不同的是他的手套。故选A。
