问题     Every night she listened to her father going around the house, locking the doors and windows. She listened: the back door closed; she could hear the fastener of the kitchen window’s click, and the restless pad of his feet going back to try the front door. It wasn’t only the outside doors he locked; he locked the empty kitchen too. He was looking something out, but obviously it was something capable of entering into his first defenses. He raised his second line all the way up to bed.
    In fourteen years, she thought unhappily, the house will be his; he had paid twenty-five pounds down and the rest he was paying month by month as rent. "Of course," he was in the habit of saying, "I’ve improved the property." "Yes," he repeated, "I’ve improved the property," looking around for a nail to drive in, a weed to uproot. It was more than a sense of property; it was a sense of honesty. Some people who bought their homes through the society let them go to rack and ruin and then cleared out.
    She stood with her ear against the wall, a small, dark, angry, immature figure. There was no more to be heard from the other room; but in her inner ear she still heard the footsteps of a property owner, the tap-tap of a hammer, the scrape of a spade, the whistle of radiator steam, a key turning, a bolt pushed home, the little busy sounds of men building barriers. She stood planning.
Which of the following feelings is conveyed in the passage?
选项 A、Tenseness.
B、Peace.
C、Nervousness.
D、Happiness.
答案C
解析 推理题。根据作者全文的描述可知，父亲对女儿比较无情，女儿也不是很喜欢父亲。虽然父亲的脚步声听不见了，但女儿内心深处却一直有各种响声。她静静地趴在墙上，听着外面传来的动静。表现的是女儿胆小焦躁的心情。所以正确答案是C选项。
