At dusk, Mr. Hightower would sit in his old armchair in the backyard and wistfully lose in reminiscence of his youth romances.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】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．(狗趴在桌子边等着得些吃的东西。)reflectively“沉思地”，sympathetically“同情地，怜悯地”，irresistibly“不可抗拒地”都不符合题意。
