问题     It was Wang Lung’s marriage day. At first, opening his eyes in the blackness of the curtains about his bed, he could not think why the dawn seemed different from any other. The house was still except for the faint, gasping cough of his old father, whose room was opposite to his own across the middle room. Every morning the old man’s cough was the first sound to be heard. Wang Lung usually lay listening to it, and moved only when he heard it approaching nearer and when he heard the door of his father’s room squeak upon its wooden hinges.
    But this morning he did not wait. He sprang up and pushed aside the curtains of his bed. It was a dark, ruddy dawn, and through a small square hole of a window, where the tattered paper fluttered, a glimpse of bronze sky gleamed. He went to the hole and tore the paper away.
    "It is spring and I do not need this," he muttered.
    He was ashamed to say aloud that he wished the house to look neat on this day. The hole was barely large enough to admit his hand, and he thrust it out to feel of the air. A small soft wind blew gently from the east, a wind mild and murmurous and full of rain. It was a good omen. The fields need rain for fruition. There would be no rain this day, but within a few days, if this wind continued, there would be water. It was good. Yesterday he had said to his father that if this brazen, glittering sunshine continued, the wheat could not be full in the ear. Now it was as if Heaven had chosen this day to wish him well. Earth would bear fruit.
选项 A、a big market
B、a big city
C、a village
D、a factory
答案 C
解析 根据这个短文描写的背景，我们不难看出这是一个农家的房子里发生的故事，门在木铰链上的吱呀声，破旧的窗纸，待雨的庄稼，这些都是农村的普通景象。
