问题    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 sat by the river for a long time, and he _____.
选项 A、was so focused as to forget everything around him
B、failed to cast his line
C、eventually remembered why he was
D、forgot what he was doing for a while
答案D
解析 事实细节题。第三段最后一句讲，利森在溪边坐了很久，他几乎都忘了自己是为什么来的了，故[D]项为答案。
