IV．阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Snoopy and Lou were robbers. Half a year ago, they decided to plan another bank robbery. It was to be their last one . Then they would give up this business and live a comfortable life. The job was so well done that the judge who sent them to prison for fifteen years each said it was the cleverest robbery of the century, and what a pity it was that their car had used up its petrol not far from the bank.
After they were in prison for a few weeks, Snoopy and Lou decided to escape. Soon they worked out a plan as good as any they had ever made. Even the smallest points were considered carefully. They planned as a team because they lived in the same room, and because the guards, who had a great deal of respect for the famous robbers, left them very much alone. They decided the quickest and safest way to escape was to squeeze themselves along a drain (下水道) from their present workplace in the prison to a quiet country road on the other side of the prison wall。
The great day arrived, and the pair started along the drain. With great difficulty, they squeezed themselves along for what seemed ages. In half an hour, they could see daylight。When they got out, the two men were so pleased with themselves at their success that they sloped each other on the back. It was only then that they realized they were not alone. They looked around, they found themselves facing thirty astonished
policemen, who were carrying musical instruments of various sorts. The next morning, the same judge seemed very sorry as he told Snoopy and Lou that the plan of the prison drain system, which they had studied so carefully, was more than twenty years old, and that the quiet country road was no longer there. The drain now led directly to the parade ground, where the police band had just finished practicing when the two robbers appeared before them.

D. They planned to get to the parade ground through the drain which was empty
when the police band was not practicing.
47. Snoopy and Lou failed in their plan to escape because ______ .
A. they did not plan well beforehand
B. they were not quick enough in their action
C. the policemen had been keeping a watchful eye on them
D. the map of the prison drain system they used was out of date
48. According to this article, which of the following statements is true?
A. When Snoopy and Lou got out of the drain, thirty policemen were waiting for
them.
B. When Snoopy and Lou found themselves facing thirty policemen, they turned
round and ran in the direction of the country road.

suddenly appeared before them.
