Every night she listened to her father going around the house, locking the doors and windows. She listened: the back door closed; she could hear the fastener of the kitchen window’s click, and the restless pad of his feet going back to try the front door. It wasn’t only the outside doors he locked; he locked the empty kitchen too. He was looking something out, but obviously it was something capable of entering into his first defenses. He raised his second line all the way up to bed.
In fourteen years, she thought unhappily, the house will be his; he had paid twenty-five pounds down and the rest he was paying month by month as rent. "Of course," he was in the habit of saying, "I’ve improved the property." "Yes," he repeated, "I’ve improved the property," looking around for a nail to drive in, a weed to uproot. It was more than a sense of property; it was a sense of honesty. Some people who bought their homes through the society let them go to rack and ruin and then cleared out.
She stood with her ear against the wall, a small, dark, angry, immature figure. There was no more to be heard from the other room; but in her inner ear she still heard the footsteps of a property owner, the tap-tap of a hammer, the scrape of a spade, the whistle of radiator steam, a key turning, a bolt pushed home, the little busy sounds of men building barriers. She stood planning.
Which of the following is TRUE of the father in the passage?
选项
A、He thought a lot about his daughter’s future.
B、He saved a lot of money for his daughter.
C、He thought that he was secure.
D、He avoided his neighbors on purpose.
答案
D
解析
推理题。本题的解题点在第一段。根据第一段可知,她父亲会锁上外面所有的门,包括空置厨房的门。他在寻找着什么,但显然有些东西还是穿过他的第一道防线。他设置的第二道防线一直延伸到床边。由此可以推出,她父亲是一个防御心理十分强的人。D选项说“他有意防着他的邻居”符合基于原文的推断,所以正确答案是D选项。
