[单选题]In the last sentence, the word "bust" most probably means ______.

正确答案 ：A

the upper part of one's body

解析：解析：应该正确理解出现本词汇的最后一个句子“A few even accepted commissions to make busts of prominent citizens.”B选项的意思为“自画像”，和C以及D的意思与句子的语境意义不符。本句话的意思为“一部分木雕师甚至接受任务给名人做上半身塑像”。

[单选题]All the firemen in the city were ______to fight against the big fire.

[单选题]Mrs. White's husband tried to ______.

正确答案 ：C

stop her from buying unnecessary things

解析：解析：注意题干上的名词：Her husband在文章中出现的地方，从而可以很容易地找到本题地依据句“Her husband tried again and again to persuade her to give it up，but she just wouldn't listen.”本句话的主要意思为丈夫不让她为了中奖而购买不必要的东西，并不是不让她去商场。所以B选项错误；A和D选项内容在文中没有出现，属于无关信息。
