Steve Courtney wrote historical novels. Not, he was quick to explain, overcolourful love stories of the kind that made so much money for so many women writers, but novels set, and correctly set, in historical periods. Whatever difference he saw in his own books, his readers did not seem to notice it, and his readers were nearly all women. He had studied at university, but he had not been a particularly good student, and he had. never afterwards let any academic knowledge he had gained interfere with his writing.
Helen, his wife, who did not have a very high opinion of her husband’s ability as a novelist, had been careful to say when she married him that she was not historically minded.
Above all, Helen was doubtful whether her relationship. with Steve would work at all in the village of Stretton, to which they had just moved. It was Steve who had wanted to move to the country, and she had been glad of the change, in principle, whatever doubts she was now having about Stretton as a choice. But she wondered whether Steve would not, before very long, want to live in London again, and what she would do if he did. The Stretton house was not a weekend cottage. They had moved into it and given up the London flat altogether, partly at least, she suspected, because that was Steve’s idea of what a successful author ought to do. However, she thought he was not going to feel like a successful author half as much in Stretton as he had in London. On the other hand, she supposed he might just start dashing up to London for the day to see his agent or have lunch With his publisher, leaving her behind in Stretton, and she thought on the whole she would like that.
What were Helen’s feelings about the move from London to Stretton?
选项
A、She wanted to remain in the country.
B、She had been unwilling to leave London.
C、She thought it was time to return to London.
D、She would have preferred a weekend house in the country.
答案
D
解析
推理题,也是两难型考题。根据第三段第二句中的she had been glad of the change可以排除B。根据第三段第三旬,Helen担心的是丈夫不久又会想回到伦敦,而且对这种可能有性还没有具体的准备,所以排除C。在第五句中,she suspected表明,Helen本来并不想放弃城里的住房.所以D是可能的选择。最后一句中的she thought on the whole she would like that表明,Helen还是愿意一个人呆在乡下的.所以A也是可能的选择。分析第三段总的内容和Helen对两个关系的担心。我们可以知道Helen的心情是复杂的,所以选D比较好。
