问题 We found that bar at last. I didn’t have to ask again, for there it was in big red neon letters over the window—Star Bar. There were some iron tables outside with plastic chairs around them. A few people sat around, looking at a portable television set that someone had brought out of the bar. They were all in thin summer dresses or short shirts; even at that late hour it was stifling. Two thin dogs lay under one of the tables with their tongues out, and some of the women were fanning themselves unenthusiastically(无精打采地)with magazines.
"He’s not here," I said, after a quick look around. The television was speaking out an advertisement for a detergent (洗衣粉), and the people sitting round had their eyes glued to the picture of a woman proudly showing how white her husband’ s underwear was after having been washed. They took no notice of us at all.
"Well, what did you expect?" replied Fergus, yawning(打呵欠). "It’s only half past nine, and he said he would be here at nine. You ought to know Graig by this time. He’ll turn up sometime after ten."
What does the underlined word "stifling" (Paragraph 1) probably mean?

选项 A、Disappearing gradually.
B、Giving out into the air.
C、Hot and breathless.
D、Pleasing and comfortable.

答案C

解析词语释义题。从文章第一段可知，从酒吧门口人们的着装和精神状态，几位女子用杂志无精打采地扇着风，很瘦的两条狗伸出舌头趴在桌子下面，可推测出虽然已是晚上9：30了，但天气仍然很闷热。
