问题     Steve Courtney wrote historical novels. Not, he was quick to explain, overcolourful love stories of the kind that made so much money for so many women writers, but novels set, and correctly set, in historical periods. Whatever difference he saw in his own books, his readers did not seem to notice it, and his readers were nearly all women. He had studied at university, but he had not been a particularly good student, and he had. never afterwards let any academic knowledge he had gained interfere with his writing.
    Helen, his wife, who did not have a very high opinion of her husband’s ability as a novelist, had been careful to say when she married him that she was not historically minded.
    Above all, Helen was doubtful whether her relationship. with Steve would work at all in the village of Stretton, to which they had just moved. It was Steve who had wanted to move to the country, and she had been glad of the change, in principle, whatever doubts she was now having about Stretton as a choice. But she wondered whether Steve would not, before very long, want to live in London again, and what she would do if he did. The Stretton house was not a weekend cottage. They had moved into it and given up the London flat altogether, partly at least, she suspected, because that was Steve’s idea of what a successful author ought to do. However, she thought he was not going to feel like a successful author half as much in Stretton as he had in London. On the other hand, she supposed he might just start dashing up to London for the day to see his agent or have lunch With his publisher, leaving her behind in Stretton, and she thought on the whole she would like that.
What did Helen have to be careful to hide?
选项 A、Her lack of interest in history.
B、Her low opinion of her husband’s writing.
C、Her dislike of her husband’s admirers.
D、Her inability to understand his books.
答案B
解析 推理题，也是两难型考题。根据第二段我们可以很容易地排除C和D，难度在于A、B之间的Helen直接表达的意思是她在结婚时对历史缺少兴趣，这是经过谨慎措辞的话，没有直接说出来的意思是她对丈夫的作品评价不高，因此应当选B。
