问题                     Have You Filled Up The Form?
    Of all things in the world, I most dislike filling up forms. In fact, I have a______【51】horror of it. Applying for a living license, ______【52】for an evening course, booking a holiday abroad—everything nowadays seem to involve______【53】information about one’s personal life and habits that has little or nothing to do with the matter______【54】hand. When applying for a job, it may be______【55】some obscure interest to a______【56】employer to learn that I collect stamp or had measles as a child, but why should he conceivably want to know that my father was a tobacconist who died in 1988?
    The authorities who______【57】one to fill up forms, frequently demand answers to questions that one would hesitate to put______【58】one’s intimate friends. The worst of it is that, when______【59】with such questions, my mind goes blank. Have I ever suffered from a serious illness? My mother always assured me I was "delicate". Do I suffer from any personal defects? Well, I wear contact lenses and my upper teeth are not my own, but perhaps the word " defects" ______【60】to my character. Am I supposed to______【61】that I like gambling, and find it difficult to get up in the morning? Both of them are true.
    Of all, I think job applications are the worst, education—previous experience—post held—give ______【62】…Terrified by the awful warning about giving false【63】which appear at the bottom of the form, I struggle to remember what exams I passed and how long I worked for what firms. ______【64】hard I try, there always seems to be a year or two for which I cannot satisfactorily account and which I am certain, if left______【65】, that will give the impression that I was in prison or engaged in some occupation too dubious to mention.  

选项 A、by
B、in
C、at
D、to

答案B

解析 in hand是一个固定搭配,表示“在手头上的,随时可用的”,因为这里指“与手头上正办的事情无关的信息”,所以用B最适。At hand为“即将到来的”,by hand指“用手做”,to hand指“在取用的范围内”。
