9、ough manner”可推断,这位老妇人的儿子高大强壮。tough表示“强健的,健壮的”,其他三项均与语境不符。7A.annoyed BterrifiedCfrustrated Dimpressed解析:选B从前面对儿子相貌的描述可推断,大家都害怕他。annoy意为“使恼怒”,不合语境。8A.unreasonable BunbelievableCunpredictable Dunbearable解析:选C结合下文的“he could surprise anyone”可推知,他有时会出其不意地来检查。unreasonable“不合情理的”;unbelievable“不可思议的”;unbeara
