问题     Bernie Voytas, 46, had been working 28 hard and long days. That’s the way of it for a【36】during harvest time in Randolph County, Illinois.
    So he decided to take a【37】and spend a Sunday with his friend Stephen Keith at a St. Louis Rams football game. But Keith noticed something【38】: Voytas’s speech was halting and he was slurring (含糊地发……音) his words.
    Just after the game started, Voytas’s face became contorted (扭曲),【39】his right side froze. Keith found someone to help send Voytas to the hospital. Doctors stabilized him and discovered the【40】of his illness.
    Early the next morning more than 15 farmers arrived at Voytas’ s fields with their tools and trucks. They came without【41】asking them to. "This is a small community," Keith explained. "Hard to say how the news gets【42】. It just does." There were so many that Keith had to refuse some of their help.
    The neighbours harvested the corn and soybeans and planted wheat. They worked into darkness and were back at 6 a.m. After five days the job was done.
    This is a farming thing, the workers said.【43】is a sense of community when everybody is dependent upon the【44】and the soil. But it was more than that. "Bernie is always the first to help others," Keith said. "He【45】his equipment to others. He does things for people that he doesn’t have to do. It’s why we had to turn people away."
    Voytas has resumed farming — with the continued help of his friends.

选项 A、strange
B、unreasonable
C、negative
D、funny

答案A

解析 本题为语篇层面的形容词辨析题。根据下旬“Voytas’s speech was halting and he was slurring(含糊不清地说)his words.”可以得知Voytas的讲话有些让人感到“strange”。而B.unreasonable(不合理的)、C.negative(消极的)和D.funny(滑稽的)显然不能说明“说话断断续续、发音不清”给人的印象。只有A.strange(奇怪的)才能准确表达这一含义,所以A为正确答案。
