He cared deeply for the poor, and particularly【C4】______ to children. He brought various gifts, money and other useful items to the houses of the poor. He did this at night, and in【C5】______ , so that no one knew,【C6】______ he wanted no glory, he just wanted to help people. He became widely known for his generosity.
There is one famous【C7】______ about Saint Nicholas. The story tells【C8】______ Nicholas hearing one day of three beautiful sisters who lived in a miserable【C9】______ on the edge of Myra. The three sisters were very poor. They could【C10】______ earn enough to keep themselves and their old mother from starving to death. When Nicholas heard of their【C11】______ , he was very concerned.

选项
A、barely
B、almost
C、easily
D、tightly
答案
A
解析
副词辨义题。前句已对三姐妹的经济状况进行描述:The three sisters were very poor. 可推断该句意为“三姐妹几乎不能挣钱养活自己和老母亲”,故选择barely“仅仅,几乎不”合适。
