单选题 At dusk, Mr. Hightower would sit in his old armchair in the backyard and {{U}}wistfully{{/U}} lose in reminiscence of his youth romances ______.
  • A.hopefully
  • B.reflectively
  • C.sympathetically
  • D.irresistibly
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 句中画线的词wistfully的意思是“渴望地，希望地”，与它的意思相接近的词是hopefully(希望地)，如：The dog waited hopefully beside the table for some food.(狗趴在桌子下面等着得些吃的东西。)B选项reflectively(沉思地)、C选项sympathetically(同情地，怜悯地)、D选项irresistibly(不可抗拒地)都不符合题意。因此A选项为正确答案。
