“Go away.I am not making myself ill.” No; her fancy was running along those days ahead of her.All sorts of days would be her own.She breathed a quick prayer that life might be long.It was only yesterday she thought with a shudder (发抖) that life might be long.She arose and opened the door to her sister's demands.There was a great success in her eyes，and she carried herself like a goddess of victory.

　　She walked down the stairs.Richards waited for her.Someone was opening the front door with a key.It was Brently Mallard.He had been far from the scene of the accident，and did not even know there had been one.He stood amazed at Josephine's scream; at Richards' quick move to keep him out of the view of his wife.But Richards was too late.When the doctors came they said she had died of heart disease of the joy that kills.

　　【答案速查】　1－4　BACD

　　【语篇解读】　在一个钟头内丈夫死而复生，而妻子则因情绪过于激动而死亡。

　　1．Who first learned Brently Mallard's news of death?

　　A．Josephine.

　　B．Richards.

　　C．Mrs.Mallard.

　　D．Josephine's husband.

　　【解析】　细节理解题。根据第一段“Her husband's friend Richards was there，too，near her.It was he who had been in the newspaper office when news of the railroad disaster was received，with Brently Mallard's name leading the list of ‘killed’．”可知，她丈夫的朋友Richards也在那里，就在她的身边。Richards当时正好在报社里面得知了火车发生了事故，Brently Mallard的名字就在遇难者名单上的第一个。由此可知，是Richards最先得知Brently Mallard死亡的消息的。
