B、here
C、down
D、up
【正确答案】:D
【题目解析】:在第(34)题中,我们需要根据上下文的语境来推断答案。 根据对话内容,这位年轻人在晚上去了酒吧喝了啤酒,并吃了三明治。然后他又去了电影院。大约11:30他回到酒店时,发现一切都在黑暗中。他敲了门,但没人回应。这时,教堂的钟声突然敲响,让他吓了一跳。然后楼上的一扇窗户打开了,那位严格的老太太问他发生了什么事。年轻人解释了他的身份后,老太太让他等了十分钟后才让他进去。老太太还严肃地告诉他,客人必须在11点前回到酒店。 接着,年轻人上床后无法入睡,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钟声震动。黎明前,他终于睡着了。 当他在早餐时间到达时,其他人几乎都吃完了,咖啡也不够分。这时,老太太问他睡得怎么样。他回答说,他认为自己无法再在那个房间度过一个晚上了,因为他几乎没睡过。老太太生气地说,那是因为他整晚都在这里喝酒! 从这段对话中,我们可以推断出,老太太认为年轻人整晚都在喝酒,导致他无法入睡。因此,"up"这个词在这里的意思是“醒着的,不睡觉的”,与“drinking”相搭配,表示年轻人整晚都在清醒状态下喝酒。 因此,正确答案是D,即“up”。
