单选题 When former Colorado Governor Richard Lamm spoke out in 1984 about the terminally ill's "duty to die", his forthrightness seemed eccentric.
A. unconventional B. weird C. deceptive D. ridiculous

【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] eccentric意为“古怪的,异乎寻常的”。A选项:unconventional意为“非常规的,非规范的”,与画线的单词意义相符,如:He had rather unconventional work habits,preferring to work through the night.(他的工作习惯跟一般人很不一样,喜欢通宵工作。)句意:当科罗拉多州前州长理查德·拉姆在1984年公开发表绝症患者‘有义务死亡,的言论时,他的直率似乎有些异乎寻常。故选A。其他三项:weird怪诞的,超然的;deceptive可能欺骗的,导致误解的;ridiculous可笑的,荒谬的。
