John Smith was a writer, who wrote detective stories for magazines（杂志）, though he never dealt with criminals（罪犯）. One evening he could not finish an end for a story. He sat in his study（书房）, but he had no ideas. So he decided to go to the cinema.
When he came back, he found that he had had a visitor. Someone had broken into his house. The visitor had had a drink, smoked several of his cigarettes and had read his story. The visitor left him a note. “I have read your story and I don’t think it is very good. Please read my suggestions and you can finish it. By the way, I am a thief. I’m not going to steal anything tonight. But if you become a successful writer, I will return.”
John read the thief’s suggestions. Then he sat down and wrote the rest of the story. He is still not a successful writer, and he is waiting for his “visitor” to return. Before he goes out in the evening, he always leaves a half-finished story in his study.

解析

试题分析：
小题1:D 推理题。根据文章第一段1,2行John Smith was a writer, who wrote detective stories for magazines（杂志）, though he never dealt with criminals（罪犯）.说明detective stories是与罪犯有关，故应该是关于警察和罪犯的。D正确。
小题2:C 推理题。根据第一段One evening he could not finish an end for a story. He sat in his study（书房）, but he had no ideas. So he decided to go to the cinema.说明他没有写作的灵感了，想到电影院看电影找找感觉，写完那篇故事。故C正确。
小题3:A 推理题。根据第二段. I’m not going to steal anything tonight. But if you become a successful writer, I will return.”说明这个贼本来是想偷东西的，故A正确。
小题4:C 细节题。根据第二段第四行Please read my suggestions and you can finish it.说明C正确。
小题5:B 推理题。根据最后两行Before he goes out in the evening, he always leaves a half-finished story in his study.说明他仍然想从小偷那里得到建议，故B正确。
点评：文章讲述了一个作家无法写完一篇侦探小说，就去看电影以寻找灵感。回来的时候发现一个小偷进入他家，并给他一些写作方面的建议的故事。以间接事实的推理为主，结合上下文提供的语境和信息进行简单的概括和判断。
