问题     In Haverford on the Platte the townspeople still talk of Lucy Gayheart. They do not talk of her a great deal, to be sure; life goes on and we live in the present. But when they do mention her name it is with a gentle glow in the face or the voice, a confidential glance which says. "Yes, you, too, remember?" They still see her as a slight figure always in motion; dancing or skating, or walking swiftly with intense direction, like a bird flying home.
    When there is a heavy snowfall, the older people look out of their windows and remember how Lucy used to come darting throughout just such storms, her muff against her cheek, not shrinking, but giving her body to the wind as if she were catching step with it. And in the heat of summer she came just as swiftly down the long shaded sidewalks and across the open squares blistering in the sun. In the breathless glare of August noons, when the horses hung their heads and the workmen "took it slow," she never took it slow. Cold, she used to say, made her feel more alive; heat must have had the same effect.
The townspeople of Haverford are
选项 A、observant and kindly.
B、unused to weather extremes.
C、introverted and sullen.
D、gossipy and mean-spirited.
答案A
解析 该地方人们的特点，在第一段中有所体现。当他们谈起Lucy时，“it is with a gentle glow in the face or the voice，a confidential glance which says：‘Yes，you， too，remember?”’显得那么的亲切。第二段中对于Lucy的描写表明人们对于她的一举一动仍然记忆犹新，可见他们是很具有观察力的。比较四个选项，A(富有观察力且和蔼可亲)；B(不习惯极端的天气)；C(内向且易怒的)；D(饶舌且性格恶劣)。A最接近原意。
