问题     I had never been in the public ward of a hospital before, and it was my first experience of doctors who handle you without speaking to you or, in a human sense, taking any notice of you. They only put on six glasses in my case, but after doing so they scarified the blisters and applied the glasses again. Each glass now drew out about a dessertspoonful of dark-colored blood. I had aches and pains all over. As I lay down again, humiliated, disgusted and frightened by the thing that had been done to me, I reflected that now at least they would leave me alone. But no, not a bit of it. There was another treatment coming, the mustard poultice, seemingly a matter of routine like the hot bath. Two slatternly nurses had already got the poultice ready, and they lashed it round my chest as tight as a strait-jacket while some men who were wandering about the ward in shirt and trousers began to collect round my bed with half-sympathetic grins. I learned later that watching a patient having a mustard poultice was a favorite pastime in the ward. These things are normally applied for a quarter of an hour and certainly they are funny enough if you don’ t happen to be the person inside. For the first five minutes the pain is severe, but you believe you can bear it. During the second five minutes this belief evaporates, but the poultice is bucked at the back and you can’ t get it off. This is the period the onlookers enjoy most. During the last five minutes I noted a sort of numbness supervenes. After the poultice had been removed a waterproof pillow packed with ice was thrust beneath my head and I was left alone, I did not sleep, and to the best of knowledge this was the only night of my life—I mean the only night spent in bed—in which I have not slept at all, not even a minute.  
To the author’ s disappointment, the pain______.
选项 A、lasted a whole night
B、gave place to numbness
C、was worsened by the pillow
D、was unbearable
答案D
解析 文中讲到开始的五分钟the pain is severe，但作者觉得自己可以忍受，又过了五分钟后this belief evaporates(消失)，这也就是说疼痛是难以忍受的。
