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.
Before he arrived at the farmer’s house, the writer expected to see Milly lying_______?

选项 A、on the floor of a room
B、on the ground of a barn
C、in bed in a barn
D、in bed in a room

答案D

解析 此题为推断题。因为作者把Milly误认为是个人,他当然预想Milly应该在屋子里躺在床上。当农夫告诉他说Milly在厩里,他感到很震惊。所以答案应选D。
