问题     There’re only 800 people in Fairfield, and most of them do the same thing at the same time every week day. Every morning, Monday through Friday, when the big clock strikes seven, old Bruce Hunt walks past the Farmers’ Bookshop. He’s on his way to work at the bus-station. And when Bruce walks ’past the book shop, Robert Brown opens his shop next door and waves to Bruce. When Robert waves to Bruce, you can set your watch and you know it’s seven.
    If you miss Bruce and Robert, you can set your watch when Miss Mary Smith opens the door of the post office. You know it’s seven fifty-five. She has five minutes to get ready for work--to put away her raincoat and take off her hat and coat. Rain or shine, Miss Mary Smith brings raincoat. "You never can tell what the weather will be like when it’s time to go home," she always says.
    One after another the shops along Main Street open for the day. The clothes shop and the fruit shop get open for business. When Mr. King opens the bookshop, the clock above the shop strides nine.
    But every weekday, people go to bed early in Fairfield. The streets are quiet, and the houses are dark when the big clock over the Farmers’ Bookshop strikes ten o’clock. The small town is getting ready for tomorrow.
Miss Mary Smith goes to work always with a raincoat because ______.

选项 A、the weather often changes
B、she likes to do so
C、she has to walk home after work
D、it always rains when it’s time to go home

答案A

解析 本题是对文章细节进行分析理解的考查。根据文章第2段最后一句You never can tell what the weather will be like when it’s time to go home..,可以理解为天气变化反复无常,Miss Mary Smith总是备有雨衣以防不测风云,因此A是正确的。
