A、came out
B、got up
C、looked out
D、woke up
【正确答案】:C
【题目解析】:在第(27)题中,正确答案是C,即“looked out”。 根据上下文,当主人公在大约11:30回到酒店并敲门时,一切都在黑暗中。然后楼上的一扇窗户打开了,老妇人探出头来问他在做什么。这里的“探出头来”表示老妇人从窗户向外看,因此用“looked out”表示“向外看”是最合适的。 选项A “came out”表示“出来”,但根据语境,老妇人并不是从房间出来,而是从窗户向外看,所以A不合适。 选项B “got up”表示“起床”,但根据后文描述,老妇人是在楼上,而且她穿着睡衣,所以不太可能是从床上起来,因此B也不合适。 选项D “woke up”表示“醒来”,但根据上下文,老妇人并没有提到她之前是在睡觉,而且“醒来”与“探出头来”的意思不符,所以D也不正确。 因此,正确答案是C,“looked out”。
