My father believed that there were mysterious forces (神秘的力量) at work in the world. One day, he was lecturing me on those mysterious forces (36) suddenly the door opened, and a women entered, (37) two geese. She smiled (38) and looked frightened.
Joseph, I have a very (39) problem. These dead geese, they keep shrieking (尖声叫) in such a sad voice... " (40) hearing this, my father turned pale. " (41) dead geese don’t shriek," my mother cut in. “You’ll hear for yourself," replied the woman, It is impossible to (42) what I heard. My hands grew (43) and I wanted to run from the room.
Father was no less (44) than I was. He jumped away from the table. “Joseph, what shall I do?" the woman cried." (45) ? I’m a poor woman. Two geese! They (46) me a fortune!"
Father did not know what to answer. (47) face was growing sharper and more (48) . "I want to hear it again," she said. And so for the second and the third time, the shrieks were (49) . Nobody said anything. The woman asked, "Well, I didn’t (50) it, did I?"
Suddenly my mother laughed. "Did you (51) the windpipes (气管)?" my mother asked. “The windpipes? No ..." “Let me (52) ," said Mother. She took hold of one of the geese, and pulled out the windpipe. She did the same with the other one. I was surprised by my mother’s (53) . "Now, try it again. " I was (54) to hear the geese shriek, but they were dead silent. “There is always (55) why dead geese shriek," said my mother. "Now go home and cook them for the meal. They won’t make a sound in your pot. "
选项
A、Upon
B、In
C、Of
D、At
答案
A
解析
考查介词用法。由上下文并结合常识可知,此处指“听到这个,我父亲变得脸色苍白”。on/upon后跟动词-ing形式表示“一…(就…)”,为常用结构,因此本题选[A]。注意,“介词at+名词”也可表示这一含义。其余两个介词都没有此种用法。
