We spent a day in the country,picking wild flowers.With the car full of flowers we were going home.On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard (柜厨) outside a furniture shop.It was tall and narrow.“Buy it,” my wife said at once.“We’ll carry it home on the roof rack.I’ve always wanted one like that.”
　　What could I do?Ten minutes later I was ￡20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on the roof rack.It was six feet long and eighteen inches square,quite heavy too.
　　In the gathering darkness I drove slowly.Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening.The police even stopped traffic to let us through.Carrying furniture was a good idea.
　　After a time my wife said,“There’s a long line of cars behind.Why don’t they overtake,I wonder?” In fact a police car did overtake.The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed.But then,with great kindness,they led us through the rush-hour traffic.The police car stopped at our village church.One of the officers came to me.
　　“Right,sir,” he said.“Do you need any more help?”
　　I was a bit puzzled.“Thanks,officer,” I said.“You have been very kind.I live just on the road.”
　　He was staring at our car,first at the flowers,then at the cupboard.“Well,well,” he said,laughing.“It’s a cupboard you’ve got there!We thought it was something else.”
　　My wife began to laugh.The truth hit me like a stone between the eyes.I smiled at the officer.“Yes,it’s a cupboard,but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.
　　1.In fact the husband _______ the cupboard.
　　A.would like very much to buy B.badly wanted
　　C.was glad to have bought D.would rather not buy
　　这道题为什么不能选C,因为文章中说Carrying furniture was a good idea.

D
根据文章第2段作者对买柜子的想法：要花钱、又长又笨重,从而推断出作者心里不愿意,由此可知答案为D.这是我在预备班时做过的阅读分析,但是那篇文章里面,作者买的不是碗橱,是书架bookshelf,但发生的事情是一样的.希望我能帮助你解疑释惑.
