Knowing that I had been out of work now, they were unwilling to lend me money.
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查的是对近义形容词的辨析。A选项unhappy意为“不快乐的”。B选项ready的意思是“准备完毕的、甘心情愿的”,常用搭配是be ready to do sth. 或者be ready for sth. 意思和题目相反。C选项prepared意为“准备好的、愿意的”,常用搭配是be prepared to do sth. 或者be prepared for sth.意思和题目相反。D选项reluctant的意思是“勉强的、不愿意的”,常用搭配是be reluctant to do sth.题目中unwilling的意思与reluctant相似,因此D答案符合题意。
