My daughter and I had been searching for the origins of my grandfather, Alfred Denny, for several years. We had nothing definite except that he married Minerva Ann Hamilton in Michigan in 1860.
When I was a small child, my father had given me the address of his "Aunt Maggie," Mrs. William Rarick of Everson, Washington. She and I exchanged letters for about three years while I was still a youngster. My father died without giving any further information about his relatives.
About eighty-five years after my correspondence with Aunt Maggie, I decided to see if I could pick up the trail and find out exactly how she fit into the family puzzle. By then I was in my nineties so I knew the odds were not on my side, but I called the telephone operator for a number of anybody by the name of Rarick in the town of Everson, Washington. She told me they have a Charles Rarick and an L. Rarick. I asked her to ring Charles, but there was no answer so I asked her to try L. Rarick.
A woman answered and I said, "Hello, this is Carleton Denny. I am trying to locate relatives of Margaret Rarick."
The lady on the telephone took a long breath and hesitantly said, "She was my grandmother."
I learned that Aunt Maggie was my grandfather’s half sister. The "L" stood for Luella, who still used her maiden name. I had found my family.
选项
A、The telephone operator helped me.
B、I got her name and number from the yellow book.
C、I got her number from Charles.
D、I got her address from my father.
答案
A
解析
题干:我是如何找到L.Rarick的?根据原文“…but I called the telephone operator for a number of anybody by the name of Rarick in the town of Everson, Washington.”译文为:但我让话务员为我接通华盛顿Everson镇上任何一位叫Rarick的人。“She told me they have a Charles Rarick and an L.Rarick.I asked her to ring Charles,but there was no answer so I asked her to try L.Rarick.”,译文为:她告诉我有个叫 Charles Rarick的,还有个叫L.Rarick的,我让她为我接通Charles,没有应答,所以我又让她试着接通L.Rarick。b选项为“我从黄页上得知她的名字和电话号码。”,c选项为“我从Charles那里得知她的号码。”,而根据原文, Charles没有接电话。d选项为“我父亲给了我她的地址。”,该选项为干扰项,虽然父亲给了我地址,但我是通过电话来查询姑妈的信息。
