Ian Johnstone missed his girlfriend so much that he flew back to Britain from Australia to ask her to marry him. The problem is she did the same in the opposite direction. He and Amy Dolby even managed to miss each other when they sat in the same airport waiting room in Singapore at the same time to wait for connecting flights.
After an 11000-mile flight across the globe, Dolby was greeted by Johnstone’s astonished flatmate asking what she was doing there "It was as though someone was playing a cruel joke on us," she told The Times. “He is the most romantic(浪漫的) person I have ever known. I think our problem is that we are both quite impulsive(易冲动的) people. We are always trying to surprise each other. "
Johnstone, a 27-year-old construction worker, had taken a year off to travel round Australia. But he was missing Dolby, a 26-year-old secretary, so much that he got a job on a Sydney building site and started saving for a surprise. He then flew home to Britain and went to her apartment armed with an engagement(订婚) ring and flowers. “I really missed Amy and I’d been thinking about her all the time. I thought she was winding me up when she phoned me from Australia," he said.
Johnstone then asked Dolby to marry him on the phone. "I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but I accepted," she said.
The phrase "winding me up" in Paragraph 5 probably means ______.
选项
A、getting anxious to see me
B、saying goodbye to me
C、playing a joke on me
D、trying to cheer me up
答案
C
解析
同句理解题。由上下文的描述可知,Johnstone并不知道Amy到澳大利亚找自己去了,故他接到后者从澳大利亚打回来的电话时,最合理的反应就是很惊讶,以为后者在跟他开玩笑(play a joke)。第二段最后一句描述了Amy在澳大利亚得知Johnstone回英国时的反应:It was as though someone was playing a cruel joke on us(好像是有人跟我们开了个残酷的玩笑),也可印证这一点。事实上,wind sb. up是个习语,指“哄骗”,即deceive。
