Some people do not like anything to be out of place;they are never late for work;they return their books on time to the library;they remember people's birthdays;and they pay their bills as soon as they arrive．Mr．Hill is such a man. Mr．Hill works in a bank,and lives alone．The only family he has is in the next town:his sister lives there with her husband,and her son,Jack．Mr．Hill does not see his sister,or her family,from one year to the next,but he sends them Christmas cards,and he has not forgotten one of Jack's seventeen birthdays. Last week Mr．Hill had quite a surprise．He drove home from the bank at the usual time,driving neither too slowly nor too fast;he parked his car where he always parked it,out of the way of other cars,and he went inside to make his evening meal．Just then,there was a knock at the door．He opened the door,to find a policeman standing on the door-step. "What have I done wrong?"Mr．Hill asked himself．"Have I driven on the wrong side of the road?Has there been some trouble at the bank?Have I forgotten to pay an important bill?" "Hello,Uncle,"said the policeman,"My name is Jack." Last week Mr．Hill
A、was pleasant
B、was quite astonished
C、was quite disappointed
D、was unpleasant
【正确答案】：B
【题目解析】：根据文章内容，我们可以推理出答案。首先，文章描述了一个非常守时、规矩且注重细节的人——Mr. Hill。他从未迟到，总是按时还书，记得别人的生日，并且账单一到就立即支付。接着，文章提到Mr. Hill独自生活，并且他的家人住在邻镇，他很少见到他们，但每年都会寄圣诞卡，并且没有忘记过他侄子Jack的任何一个生日。 然后，文章描述了一个突发事件：上周，Mr. Hill像往常一样下班回家，正准备做晚饭时，突然有人敲门。他打开门后，发现是一个警察站在门口，自称是Jack。由于Mr. Hill并不认识任何警察，并且他从未见过Jack（尽管他知道Jack的存在并记得他的生日），这一突然的出现使他感到惊讶。 根据文章的描述，Mr. Hill对这位自称Jack的警察的突然出现并没有表现出愉快（A）、失望（C）或不愉快（D）的情绪，而是被“quite a surprise”（非常惊讶）所描述。因此，最符合文章描述的情绪是“was quite astonished”（非常惊讶）。所以答案是B。
