He cared deeply for the poor, and particularly【C4】______ to children. He brought various gifts, money and other useful items to the houses of the poor. He did this at night, and in【C5】______ , so that no one knew,【C6】______ he wanted no glory, he just wanted to help people. He became widely known for his generosity.
There is one famous【C7】______ about Saint Nicholas. The story tells【C8】______ Nicholas hearing one day of three beautiful sisters who lived in a miserable【C9】______ on the edge of Myra. The three sisters were very poor. They could【C10】______ earn enough to keep themselves and their old mother from starving to death. When Nicholas heard of their【C11】______ , he was very concerned.

Now it so【C16】______ that the three sisters has washed their stockings before they went to bed. The stockings have been hung by the fire to【C17】______ . When Nicholas dropped the gold through the smoke hole, each bag of gold fell into a stocking,
The three sisters were overjoyed to find three bags of gold in their stockings when they woke up the next morning. Soon, the story began to【C18】______ .

选项
A、mean
B、generous
C、general
D、genetic
答案
B
解析
形容词辨义题。本句是对St. Nicholas品行的赞扬,从honest 一词可以看出。再结合下文关于 Nicholas帮助穷人三姐妹的传奇事迹,可推断此处应该选用褒义词generous“慷慨的”。
