Karen Rusa was a 30-year-old woman and the mother of four children. For the past several months Karen had been experiencing repetitive thoughts that centered around her children’ s safety. She frequently found herself imagining that a serious accident had occurred; she was unable to put these thoughts out of her mind. On one such occasion she imagined that her son, Alan, had broken his leg playing football at school. There was no reason to believe that an accident had occurred, but she kept thinking about the possibility until she finally called the school to see if Alan was all right. Even after receiving their assurance that he had not been hurt, she described herself as being somewhat surprised when he later arrived home unharmed. Karen also noted that her daily routine was seriously hampered by an extensive series of counting work that she performed throughout each day. Specific numbers had come to have a special meaning to her; she found that her preoccupation with these numbers was hampering her ability to perform everyday activities. One example was grocery shopping. Karen believed that if she selected the first item on the shelf, something terrible would happen to her oldest child. If she selected the second item, some unknown disaster would fall on her second child, and so on for the four children. Karen’ s preoccupation with numbers extended to other activities, most notable the pattern in which she smoked cigarettes and drank coffee. If she had one cigarette; she believed that she had to smoke at least four in a row, or one of her children would be harmed in some way. If she drank one cup of coffee, she felt compelled to drink four. Karen acknowledged the unreasonableness of these rules, but, nevertheless, maintained that she felt more comfortable. When she observed them earnestly, when she was occasionally in too great a hurry to observe these rules, she experienced considerable anxiety, in the form of a subjective feeling of dread and fear. She described herself as tense, uneasy, and unable to relax during these periods. The occurrence of rarely minor accidents does not reduce her belief that she had been directly responsible because of her inability to observe the rules about number.
Which of the following inferences is most probably NOT true according to the passage?
选项
A、When Karen was in a great hurry to smoke, she would feel much anxiety.
B、If she selected the fourth item on the shelf in a group, the fourth child must experience some unknown disaster.
C、Drinking four cups of coffee would make Karen more comfortable than drinking two cups.
D、Karen was a mother of four sons.
答案
D
解析
A项是事实,文中倒数第三句有原文表示。文中倒数第六句提到了“这位妇女在抽烟时会感到紧张,要连抽4根烟,因为害怕如果少抽几根,会给她的孩子带来灾难”,从原文可推测,这是因为她将自己抽的每一根烟看成自己孩子的安全的象征,漏了哪一个,就都会给哪个孩子带来灾难,这间接说明她有4个孩子,故B项也属实。根据倒数第五句“她喝了一杯咖啡,那她就一定要连喝到4杯咖啡”,C项符合原文意思。D项说她有4个儿子,文中只说她有4个孩子,不一定都是儿子。
