问题     During the Christmas shopping rush in London, the interesting story was reported of a tramp(流浪者)who, apparently though no fault of his own, found himself locked in a well - known chain store late on Christmas Eve. No doubt the store was crowded with last - minute Christmas shoppers and the staff were dead beat and longing to get home. Probably all the proper security checks were made before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three - day holiday untroubled by customers desperate to get last - minute Christmas presents.
    However ridiculous that may be, our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to make the best of it. There was food, drink, bedding and camping equipment, of which he made good use. There must also have been television sets and radios. Though it was not reported if he took advantage of these facilities, when the shop reopened he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him. He seems to have been a man of good humor as indeed tramps very commonly are.
    Everyone else was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no good reason why he should not do the same. He yielded himself cheerfully, and was taken by the police. Perhaps he had had a better Christmas than usual. He was sent to prison for seven days. The judge awarded no compensation(赔偿)to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed. They had, in his opinion, already received valuable free publicity from the story revealed in the newspaper and on television. Perhaps the judge had a good Christmas, too.
It can be inferred from the passage that the underlined phrase "dead beat" in Paragraph 1 means
选项 A、angry
B、exhausted
C、forgetful
D、careless
答案B
解析 本题问：由本文可以推论，第一节里的下划线短语“dead beat”的意思是——。这是一道语义题。根据上下文：圣诞节购物的人们挤满了商店，我们可以猜出商店的售货员一定是忙得不可开交，他们在这种情况下应该是B。精疲力竭的。其它选项均不妥：A．愤怒的C．健忘的D．大意的
