问题 Which of the following does NOT describe people’s understanding of universe and witchcraft?
"...one would have expected the episode to end there" in the fourth paragraph means that

选项 A、things might not go from bad to worse.
B、the doctor tried to cure fits.
C、more people suffered from fits.
D、the situation was further aggravated.

答案D

解析 本题是语义题。由题干定位至第四段。第三段提到1692年在Salem的定居者开始出现莫名其妙的痉挛,医生认为这是由巫术造成的,并找出了施巫术的人。第四段介绍了当时的情况:其他的年轻妇女开始出现痉挛,危机结束时,19人正式起诉,54人承认自己施了巫术,150人受到施展巫术的指控。由首句中的虚拟语气及后面的But it didn’t可以判断,事与愿违,事件并未就此结束,而是进一步恶化,故[D]为答案。
