问题     Here is a humorous story. Frank Smithson woke up and leaned over to turn off the alarm clock. “Oh no!” he thought to himself. “Another day at that office; a boss who shouts at me all the time.” As Frank went downstairs his eyes fell on a large brown envelope by the door. He was overjoyed when he opened it and read the letter inside. “Bigwoods Football Pool (足球赌博公司) would like to congratulate you. You have won half a million pounds.” Frank suddenly came to life. The cigarette (香烟) fell from his lips as he let out a shout that could be heard halfway down the street. At 11:30 Frank arrived at work. “Please explain why you are so late,” his boss said. “Go and jump in the lake,” replied Frank. “I have just come into a little money so this is goodbye. Find yourself someone else to shout at.” That evening Frank was smoking a very expensive Havana cigar when a knock was heard on the door. He rushed to the door. Outside were two men, neatly dressed in grey suits. “Mr. Smithson,” one of them said, “we’re from Bigwoods Pools. I am afraid there’s been a terrible mistake…”

选项 A、disappointed
B、worried
C、nervous
D、curious

答案A

解析 根据短文最后一句话可知,门外来人正是足球赌博公司的,但他们不是来送钱的,而是来道歉的。言外之意已经很清楚了(那就是那笔钱不是给他的,而是别人),此时他的心情只能是disappointed。B项指的是很担心。C项指的是紧张。D项指的是好奇,根据题意均不符。因此答案选A项。
