问题     I had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang. It was an eccentric(怪癖) farmer. I had never met him before although I had heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and talked for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident. I didn’t have the slightest idea who she was but obviously I had to go.
    It was snowing heavily that day and I didn’t know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there, waiting for, me. "She meant more to me than anyone... even my own wife!" he said. I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal(丑闻). I was even more shocked when he told me that he had put her in the barn(厩). "I wouldn’t leave her out in the cold!" he said.
    Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door. He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground. "She was such a good cow! I wouldn’t let anyone but a doctor touch her!" he said, and burst into tears again.
What do we know about Milly from the story?

选项 A、She was seriously ill.
B、She was hidden somewhere.
C、She had met with an accident.
D、She had caused a scandal.

答案C

解析 此题为细节题。根据第—段倒数第二句,可以得知Mdly遭遇了一场严重的事故,故答案是C。
