He cared deeply for the poor, and particularly【C4】______ to children. He brought various gifts, money and other useful items to the houses of the poor. He did this at night, and in【C5】______ , so that no one knew,【C6】______ he wanted no glory, he just wanted to help people. He became widely known for his generosity.

One night, when everyone was asleep, Nicholas crept through the streets to the【C13】______ of town. He tiptoed up to the hut【C14】______ where the three sisters lived.

Now it so【C16】______ that the three sisters has washed their stockings before they went to bed. The stockings have been hung by the fire to【C17】______ . When Nicholas dropped the gold through the smoke hole, each bag of gold fell into a stocking,

选项
A、discarded
B、casted
C、threw
D、dropped
答案
D
解析
动词辨义题。该句前部分说明Nicholas爬上屋顶,所以可推断他是将三袋金子从屋顶“扔下去”。表示“扔下去”这一语义的词语应为drop,故D 为本题答案。
