For the people who have never traveled
across the Atlantic the voyage is a fantasy. But for the people who cross it
frequently one crossing of the Atlantic is very much like another, and they do
not make the voyage for the{{U}} (56) {{/U}}of its interest. Most of us
are quite happy when we feel{{U}} (57) {{/U}}to go to bed and pleased
when the journey{{U}} (58) {{/U}}. On the first night this time I felt
especially lazy and went to bed{{U}} (59) {{/U}}earlier than usual. When
I{{U}} (60) {{/U}}my cabin, I was surprised{{U}} (61) {{/U}}that
I was to have a companion during my trip, which made me feel a little unhappy. I
had expected{{U}} (62) {{/U}}but there was a suitcase{{U}} (63)
{{/U}}mine in the opposite corner. I wondered who he could be and what he
would be like. Soon afterwards he came in. He was the sort of man you might
meet{{U}} (64) {{/U}}, except that he was wearing{{U}} (65)
{{/U}}good clothes that I made up my mind that we would not{{U}} (66)

expected, he did not talk to me either but went to bed immediately.
I suppose I slept for several hours because when I woke up it was already
the middle of the night. I felt cold but covered{{U}} (68) {{/U}}as well
as I could and tried to go back to sleep. Then I realized that a{{U}} (69)
{{/U}}was coming from the window opposite. I thought perhaps I had
forgotten{{U}} (70) {{/U}}the door, so I got up{{U}} (71)

coming from the window opposite. I crossed the room and{{U}} (72)

【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查的是固定搭配，for the sake of意为“为了，由于”，符合题意。A项reason意为“理由，原因，动机，理智，前提”；B项motive意为“动机，目的；原因”； C项cause意为“导致某事发生的人或事，动机，理由，根据，目标，理想，事业”，都与题意不符，因此D项为正确答案。
