问题     Paul was dissatisfied with himself and with everything. The deepest of his love belonged to his mother. When he felt he had hurt her, or wounded his love for her, he could not bear it. Now it was spring and there was battle between him and Miriam, his girlfriend. This year he had a good deal against her. She was vaguely aware of it. The old feeling that she was to be a sacrifice to this love, which she had had when she prayed, was mingled in all her emotions. She did not at the bottom believe she ever would have him. She did not believe in herself primarily: doubted whether she could ever be what he would demand of her. Certainly she never saw herself living happily through a lifetime with him. She saw tragedy, sorrow, and sacrifice ahead. And in sacrifice she was proud, in renunciation she was strong, for she did not trust herself to support everyday life. She was prepared for the big things and the deep things, like tragedy. It was the sufficiency of the small day-life she could not trust.
    It can be learned from the beginning that Miriam’s attitude toward love between her and Paul is________.
选项 A、indifferent
B、desperate
C、pessimistic
D、ambiguous
答案 C
解析 推理题。文章第一段中“This year he had a good deal against her. She was vaguely aware of it. The old feeling that she was to be a sacrifice to this love，which she had had when she prayed，was mingled in all her emotions.  She did not at the bottom believe she ever would have him. She did not believe in herself primarily：doubted whether she could ever be what he would demand of her.  Certainly she never saw herself living happily through a lifetime with him. She saw tragedy，sorrow, and sacrifice ahead. ”指出，这一年来，他老是和她对着干。她对此也隐约有所察觉。每当她祈祷时，那种自己注定要成为这场恋爱的牺牲品的一贯感觉就会和她的各种情感交织在一起，她打心底里就不相信自己会拥有他。首先她就不相信自己，她怀疑自己是否能成为一个保罗所要求的那样的人，她当然从未设想自己能跟他过一辈子幸福生活。她看到的前途就是悲剧、忧伤和牺牲。故选C。
