1 Mr. Duffy raised his eyes from the paper and gazed out of his window on the cheerless evening landscape. The river lay quiet beside the empty distillery and from time to time a light appeared in some house on Lucan Road. What an end! The whole narrative of her death revolted him and it revolted him to think that he had ever spoken to her of what he held sacred. The cautious words of a reporter won over to conceal the details of a commonplace vulgar death attacked his stomach. Not merely had she degraded herself; she had degraded him. His soul’s companion. He thought of the hobbling wretches whom he had seem carrying cans and bottles to be filled by the barman. Just God, what an end! Evidently she had been unfit to live, without any strength of purpose, an easy prey to habits, one of the wrecks on which civilization has been reared. But that she could have sunk so low! Was it possible he had deceived himself so utterly about her? He remembered her outburst of that night and interpreted it in a harsher sense than he had ever done. He had no difficulty now in approving of the course he had taken.
2 As the light failed and his memory began to wander he thought her hand touched his. The shock which had first attacked his stomach was now attacking his nerves. He put on his overcoat and hat quickly and went out. The cold air met him on the threshold; it crept into the sleeves of his coat. When he came to the public-house at Chapel Bridge he went in and ordered a hot punch.
3 The proprietor served him obsequiously but did not venture to talk. There were five or six working-men in the shop discussing the value of a gentleman’s estate in County Kildare. They drank at intervals from their huge pint tumblers, and smoked, spitting often on the floor and sometimes dragging the sawdust over their heavy boots. Mr. Dully sat on his stool and gazed at them, without seeing or hearing them. After a while they went out and he called for another punch. He sat a long time over it. The shop was very quiet. The proprietor sprawled on the counter reading the newspaper and yawning. Now and again a tram was heard swishing along the lonely road outside.
4 As he sat there, living over his life with her and evoking alternately the two images on which he now conceived her, he realized that she was dead, that she had ceased to exist, that she had become a memory. He began to feel ill at ease. He asked himself what else could he have done. He could not have lived with her openly. He had done what seemed to him best. How was he to blame? Now that she was gone he understood how lonely her life must have been, sitting night after night alone in that room. His life would be lonely too until he, too, died, ceased to exist, became a memory -- if anyone remembered him.
选项

B、guilt.
C、grief.
D、compassion.
答案
A
解析
<1>The whole narrative of her death revolted him and it revolted him to think that he had ever spoken to her of what he held sacred.有关她死亡的叙述使他十分反感,而且他一想到自己曾向她吐露自己一直认为很神圣的东西就感到厌恶。
<2>The cautious words of a reporter won over to conceal the details of a commonplace vulgar death attacked his stomach.一位被说服了的记者为了隐瞒一个十分普通的平民之死而措辞谨慎,这使他感到恶心。
<3>hobbling wretches一瘸一拐地走路的可怜虫
<4>an easy prey to habits,one of the wrecks on which civilization has been reared容易沉湎于习惯的人,是一块残骸,在其上面曾培育文明。wreck此处为比喻用法,将 the woman比作失事船只的一块残骸,故下一句中作者继续说She could have sunk so low。所谓“在其上面曾培育文明”,这里指Mr.Duffy曾将自己认为神圣的东西向她吐露,曾把她当作其心灵之伴侣,等等。
<5>obsequiously巴结地,卑躬屈膝地
<6>live over his life with her回忆自己与她一起生活的情景
此题为细节理解题。据第1段第4句可知。revolt表示“使作呕”、“使反感”。
