问题     I had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang. It was an eccentric(怪癖) farmer. I had never met him before although I had heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and talked for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident. I didn’t have the slightest idea who she was but obviously I had to go.
    It was snowing heavily that day and I didn’t know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there, waiting for, me. "She meant more to me than anyone... even my own wife!" he said. I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal(丑闻). I was even more shocked when he told me that he had put her in the barn(厩). "I wouldn’t leave her out in the cold!" he said.
    Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door. He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground. "She was such a good cow! I wouldn’t let anyone but a doctor touch her!" he said, and burst into tears again.
The underlined phrase "make out" in the first paragraph means______.
选项 A、expect
B、see clearly
C、hear clearly
D、understand
答案D
解析 此题为词汇题。题目问第一段中的短语make out的意思，从前面一句话的内容；他(农夫)紧张地讲了一分钟左右我还不很明白，可以推断出在此处make out的意思是“理解、了解”。
