问题     Christmas Eve (圣诞前夜) arrives at my house each year. The center of the celebration is dinner. My mother spends days preparing a rich variety of seafood. The guest list seldom changes. It is made up of my Aunt Marcy and her husband, my oldest brother, Sal, his wife, and their four children, my sister, Joann, her husband, and their two children, and my second brother, Richard, his wife, and their two children.
   My aunt and uncle always come heavily loaded with enough food and wine for a whole army. My brother Sal and gang usually show up an hour early and empty handed. Joann’ s family is usually late while Richard’ s group generally arrives on time, bearing gifts for everyone. I am in charge of getting the Christmas tree. Plenty of food is served at the dinner table, and all the hours of preparation are wolfed down in a matter of minutes. Along with the yearly repeated menu comes the yearly repeated conversation.
   Everyone talks about how good the food tastes. My mother then talks about all the supermarkets from which the fish was bought. This begins our period of comparison shopping. For at least thirty minutes, we show how better we are than each other at mentioning the bargains we have found.
   Personally, I do not feel the need to be with a crowd on Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve, to me, is a quiet time, a time to think deeply. The over crowdedness and noise ruin my feelings about Christmas. [br] What does the underlined word "gang"( line 2, para. 2) probably mean?
选项 A、The rest of the guests.
B、The children of the guests.
C、The writer and her mother.
D、Sal’ s family members.
答案 D
解析 释义题。题干意为“第二段第二行中的‘gang’的意思是什么”。从文章的第一段第四句话…my oldest brother Sal，his wife and their four children可知，这里说的是作者大哥一家人来参加平安夜聚会的情景。因为前后的文章都是说各自一家人的情景。所以本题的正确答案为D。
