Edward Lisson, the famous scientist, had been honored in the countries all over the world for his research into the working of the human brain, in particular the part played by memory. It is a curious fact, however, that he himself was extremely absent-minded. The following story was told about him.
It seems that all his life Edward had wanted to become an expert fisherman, but owing to his work, he was unable to satisfy his desire completely until he retired. Accordingly, on Sunday shortly after he retired, he set out, equipped with fishing rod and tackle, a straw basket and some suitable bait, and dressed in an oilskin , sou’wester and waders just in case. He was prepared to enjoy a day’s fishing, a subject about which he had read much and done little.
He found a clear, running stream lined with pebbles, baited his hook, cast his line carefully and sit down to wait. It was a warm day, patchy with sunlight and scudding clouds—a fisherman’s day. The sunlight danced on the white stones on the river bed, the river chattered merrily and Edward, patient and content, sat waiting for a bit. He sat so long in fact that after a while he could scarcely remember why he had come.
Presently there was a little flurry in the water and then a flash of silver as a salmon leaped.
Edward dressed in complete protection because______.
选项
A、he knew it’s going to rain
B、he wanted to prepare for something unexpected
C、he was absent-minded
D、he read books on the subject
答案
D
解析
推理判断题。第二段第一句讲到,爱德华-利森直到退休才有机会实现自己想成为一名专业钓客的愿望;随后提到,他在退休不久的一个周日,就带着工具,戴着油布防水帽,穿着防水长靴,打算去钓鱼;最后一句提到利森读了大量有关钓鱼的书籍,但很少有机会可以实施。由此推知,他如此装备的原因是从书本上学来的,故[D]项为答案。
