試題分析：

 .neigher     neither…nor…指兩者都不；本句指她和她丈夫都不抽煙。

  asleep  上下文串聯根據下文可知對方是在椅子上睡覺。

  must  上下文串聯說明是對過去情況的推測，過去一定做了某事must have done.

  through 通過一扇打開的窗戶through指穿過…

 .in       在…內部in….

 hurrying   考查了分詞做狀語，因為hurry與she構成主動關系，使用現在分詞的形式。

 . with        with表示原因。

 which         which指代diamond necklace在句中做主語。

 worthless  根據上文的imitation說明他拿走的是假的寶石項鏈，那是不值錢的。
