问题 In the early hours of the night it had rained and
the iron gate that led to the gatekeepers’ houses had
rattled loose in the wind, and it disturbed Mrs. O’
Brien’s spaniel where he lay on a mat in the dark,
drafty hallway. Time again he gave a muffled             【M1】 ______
growl, padded about the hall, and scratched at the
door. His uneasiness and the noise of the wind had
awakened Mrs. O’Brien in the room above him.             【M2】 ______
Beside her husband was asleep, snoring loudly,           【M3】 ______
unaware of her wakefulness or of the windows shaking   
in their heavy frames. The rain rattled like
hailstones against the panes. How in earth anybody       【M4】 ______
could sleep through that, she wondered—it was
enough to waken the dead and there he was deep
asleep as if it were a calm summer night. You’d
thought he’d be worrying about his journey to the        【M5】______
Rock in the morning and his long six weeks away
from her.
The dog growled again, and throwing back the
bedclothes she got up and groped on the table for the
matchbox. She struck one match but it was a dead
one, and she clicked her tongue in approval. She         【M6】 ______
was never done telling Tom not to put his spent
matches back into the box but he never heeded her.
She struck three before coming upon a good one, and
in the spurt of flame she glanced at the alarm clock
and saw that it was two hours after midnight. She
slipped downstair, lit the lamp and let the dog into     【M7】 ______
the kitchen.
On the floor, Tom’s hampers lay ready for the
morning, when the boatmen would have come to             【M8】 ______
row him out to the lighthouse to relieve young Frank
Coady. She looked at the hampers with sharp
calculation, wondering if she had packed everything he   【M9】 ______
needed. She was always sure to forget everything
and he was always sure to bring it up with her as
soon as he stepped ashore for his twoweek leave.
But this time she was sure that she had forgotten
nothing, for she had made a list and ticked each
item off as she packed it into the cases. No, he
couldn’t be able to launch any of his ill humour on      【M10】 ______
her this time! [br] 【M9】
选项
答案 everything改成something
解析 本题为不定代词使用错误。根据上下文她总是忘记“一些事”而不是忘记“所有的事”。
