解析：

(7)	選A或C項(xiàng)，均不合邏輯；選D項(xiàng)也不合情理。
(12)	朝門口走去；若選D項(xiàng)，則表示在門口走動(dòng)。

提示：

(1)	…way…for…意為“對(duì)于……來(lái)說(shuō)是一種……的方法”。
(2)	從全文看，Mrs Clarke是獨(dú)自一個(gè)人住；lonely是形容詞，意為“孤獨(dú)的”，此處搭配不當(dāng)，且與文意不符。
(3)	接下去幾句描述了家中的情況，并非十分糟糕，也不曾讓她uncomfortable，只是有點(diǎn)“反�！�(unusual)罷了。
(4)	由上半句可見(jiàn)，并無(wú)破門而入的跡象。
(5)	A、B項(xiàng)基本同義，且后者為及物動(dòng)詞，不合句法；發(fā)現(xiàn)家中可能被盜后，不是“看”或“搜”，應(yīng)是“查對(duì)”(check)一下，看看丟了什么。
(6)	沒(méi)去club，代之以a short walk in the park。
(8)	看看會(huì)發(fā)生什么，其余三項(xiàng)動(dòng)詞含義均可包含在此中。
(9)	“沏茶”習(xí)慣用make tea表示。
(10)	the next moment 意為“緊接著……”。
(11)	結(jié)合下文看，此處是“提起一壺開(kāi)水”。
(13)	伸進(jìn)來(lái)的是“手”(hand)，下文有交代。
(14)	“潑水，澆水”用pour。
(15)	開(kāi)水突然澆到手上，聽(tīng)到的是厲聲尖叫，并非其他幾種聲音。
(16)	與上文照應(yīng)：由letter-box中促進(jìn)來(lái)繞上了knob是正是wire。
(17)	手縮回后是逃走的腳步聲。
(18)	it wasn’t long before(后接從句)表示“不久……”。
(19)	如此智勇兼?zhèn)�，自然是受到贊揚(yáng)了。
(20)	以上行為應(yīng)屬“自我保護(hù)”(self-protection)。
