问题     Of all things in the world, I most dislike filling up forms; in fact, I have a 【C1】_____horror of it. Applying for a driving license, 【C2】_____for an evening course, booking a holiday abroad — everything nowadays seems to involve 【C3】_____information about one’s personal life and habits that has little or nothing to do with the matter 【C4】______hand. When applying for a job, it may be 【C5】______ some obscure interest to a 【C6】_____employer to learn that I collect stamps or had measles as a child, but why 【C7】_____he conceivably want to know that my father was a tobacconist who died in 1988?
    The authorities who 【C8】_____one to fill up forms, frequently demand answers to questions that one would hesitate to put 【C9】_____one’s intimate friends. The worst of it is that, when 【C10】______with such questions, my mind goes bland. Have I ever suffered from a serious illness? My mother always 【C11】_____me I was "delicate". Do I suffer from any personal defects? Well, I wear 【C12】_____lenses and my upper teeth and not my own, but perhaps the word "defects" 【C13】______to my character. Am I supposed to 【C14】______that I like gambling, and find it difficult to get up in the morning? 【C15】______of them are true.
    Of all, I think job applications are the 【C16】______. "Education" — previous experience — post held — give 【C17】______. Terrified by the awful warning about give false 【C18】______which appears at the bottom of the forms, I struggle to remember what exams I passed and how long I worked for what firms. 【C19】______hard I try, there always seems to be a year or two for which I cannot satisfactorily account and which I am certain, if left 【C20】______, will give the impression that I was in prison or engaged in some occupation too dubious to mention. [br] 【C1】
选项 A、positive
B、negative
C、mild
D、slight
答案 D
解析 词汇题。根据文意，首先排除A、B两项，因为此处是修饰horror，无所谓积极或消极。由文章看来，这里是说“事实上还有点惧怕、厌恶填表”，就看是用mild还是用slight来修饰horror。这两个词虽然都有“轻微的”之意，但mild侧重于“温和的，柔和的”slight侧重于“轻微的，微小的”，此处用后者比较适合。
