A、fell asleep
B、went to bed
C、got up
D、gave in
【正确答案】:A
【题目解析】:根据上下文,我们可以得知“我”在晚上到达酒店后,因为没有赶上晚餐,所以去了酒吧吃了些东西并看了电影。在大约11:30返回酒店时,发现一切都在黑暗中,敲门也没有人回应。随后,教堂的钟声响起,楼上的一扇窗户打开,老妇人询问发生了什么事情。在等了十分钟后,老妇人让“我”进入房间。由于老妇人告诉“我”客人应该在11点前回到酒店,因此“我”上床后却无法入睡,因为每隔一刻钟教堂的钟声就会敲响,午夜时分整个酒店都被噪音震动。 因此,在黎明前,“我”最终应该是“睡着了”。选项A“fell asleep”表示“入睡”,符合上下文的逻辑。而选项B“went to bed”只是表示“上床”,并没有明确表示“入睡”;选项C“got up”表示“起床”,与上下文不符;选项D“gave in”表示“屈服”,也与上下文不符。 所以,正确答案是A。
