问题 Dear Kind-Trustee-Who-Sends-Orphans-to-College,
    Here I am! I travelled yesterday for four hours in a train. It’s a funny sensation, isn’t it? I never rode in one before.
    College is the biggest, most bewildering place—I get lost whenever I leave my room. I will write you a description later when I’m feeling less muddled; also I will tell you about my lessons. Classes don’t begin until Monday morning, and this is Saturday night. But I wanted to write a letter first just to get acquainted.
    It seems queer to be writing letters to somebody you don’t know. It seems queer for me to be writing letters at all—I’ve never written more than three or four in my life, so please overlook it if these are not a model kind.
    Before leaving yesterday morning, Mrs. Lippett and I had a very serious talk. She told me how to behave all the rest of my life, and especially how to behave towards the kind gentleman who is doing so much for me. I must take care to be Very Respectful.
    But how can one be very respectful to a person who wishes to be called John Smith? Why couldn’t you have picked out a name with a little personality? I might as well write letters to Dear Hitching-Post or Dear Clothes-Prop.
    I have been thinking about you a great deal this summer; having somebody take an interest in me after all these years makes me feel as though I had found a sort of family. It seems as though I belonged to somebody now, and it’s a very comfortable sensation. I must say, however, that when I think about you, my imagination has very little to work upon. There are just three things that I know: I. You are tall. II. You are rich. III. You hate girls.
    I suppose I might call you Dear Mr. Girl-Hater. Only that’s rather insulting to me. Or Dear Mr. Rich-Man, but that’s insulting to you, as though money were the only important thing about you. Besides, being rich is such a very external quality. Maybe you won’t stay rich all your life; lots of very clever men get smashed up in Wall Street. But at least you will stay tall all your life! So I’ve decided to call you Dear Daddy-Long-Legs. I hope you won’t mind. It’s just a private pet name we won’t tell Mrs. Lippett.
    The ten o’clock bell is going to ring in two minutes. Our day is divided into sections by bells. We eat and sleep and study by bells. It’s very enlivening; I feel like a fire horse all of the time. There it goes! Lights out. Good night.
    Observe with what precision I obey rules—due to my training in the John Grier Home.
                                                         Yours most respectfully,
                                                                Jerusha Abbott
                                                    To Mr. Daddy-Long-Legs Smith [br] Jerusha felt "muddled" because
选项 A、she had never written to the trustee before.
B、she was not familiar with the college yet.
C、she could never find the way to her room.
D、she had never traveled on a train before.
答案 B
解析 作者在第2段第2句说到等她less muddled的时候，就会写一个详细的description，结合上一句的主题，这里的description是指对大学的描述，文中还提到作者一出门就迷路，可见，是因为初到学校，对学校不熟悉，使作者感到muddled，因此本题选B。C最具干扰性，该选项是第2段第1句破折号后的内容，要注意的是，在第1句中，主题应该是college，“my room”只是附加内容，因此第2句的muddled针对的应该是college，而不是“my room”，故C不正确。
