It bad been a pleasantly warm day without much wind, and with enough cloud to prevent the heat of the sun becoming too great. Charles bad spent a long time studying the level of the water in the boat, and had discovered that, by evening, it had fallen very slightly. This, it would seem, must mean that the boat was not taking in water, which was fortunate, because any attempt to empty it out suggested greater effort than he felt equal to. One other immediate problem had held his wandering thoughts for a few moments at long intervals. This was the problem of Harcourt. The thing to do, Charles realized, was to put poor Harcourt in the sea. It should be a simple matter and take no more than a few seconds. Charles arranged in his mind exactly how it could most easily be done, but his body did not react to the suggestions of his mind. Charles told himself that it was his hands that were the trouble. It was better, really, not to find out how badly they were burned. There was nothing to be done about them except not use them.
But then, suddenly, almost without knowing how he did it, Charles moved, stood up, bent over the body of poor Harcourt, lifted it and let it slip as gently as possible into the sea. Afterwards he stood in the stem(船尾) of the boat for a long time, watching the color of the sea deepen and the sky become increasingly farther off with the coming of night. In a curious way he felt strangely happy. The problem of his rescue had not yet begun to trouble him.
After a time Charles’ returning interest in living showed itself in the simple form of hunger. With some difficulty owing to the water in the boat, he explored its stores and found food and water in air-tight tins. He also found a neat package wrapped in green oiled silk. He unwrapped it and found maps. Neat, beautifully designed and printed, spotlessly new, they lay across his knees and he was no longer alone in a world of water. At that moment these clean official maps, correct in every detail, were as comforting as the sound of a human voice, as cheering as a canoe darkness. [br] Charles was worried about Harcourt’s body because ______.
选项
A、it was unwise to keep it in the boat
B、he thought it was too heavy
C、he couldn’t bear to get rid of it
D、he didn’t know what to do with it
答案
A
解析
此题为推断题。在Charles 的手受伤,船里进了许多水,飘行于海上的情况下留住 Harcourt 的尸体是不明智的,因此他便对Harcourt 的尸体“发愁”。B项不对,扔掉尸体并不因尸体是重或轻而决定;C他不扔掉Harcourt;D他不知道该怎样处理Harcourt,均不合题意,故选A。
