When I was twenty-seven years old, I was a mining-broker’s clerk in San Francisco, and an expert in all the details of stock traffic. I was alone in the world, and had nothing to depend upon but my wits and a clean reputation; but these were setting my feet in the road to eventual fortune, and I was content with the prospect. My time was my own after the afternoon board, Saturdays, and I was accustomed to putting it in on a little sail-boat on the bay. One day I ventured too far, and was carried out to sea. Just at nightfall, when hope was about gone, I was picked up by a small ship which was bound for London. It was a long and stormy voyage, and they made me work my passage without pay, as a common sailor. When I stepped ashore in London my clothes were ragged and shabby, and I had only a dollar in my pocket. This money fed and sheltered me twenty-four hours. During the next twenty-four I went without food and shelter.
In Para, the phrase "set my feet “probably means________.
选项
A、put me aside
B、prepare me
C、let me walk
D、start my journey
答案
B
解析
词汇题。根据第一段:I was alone in the world,and had nothing to depend upon but my wits and a clean reputation;but these were setting my feet in the road to eventual fortune,and I was content with the prospect. (我只身混世界,除了自己的聪明才智和一身清白,就再也没什么可依靠的了;不过,这反倒让我脚踏实地,不做那没影儿的发财梦,死心塌地奔自己的前程。)可知,作者做好了准备。故选B。
