"... one would have expected the episode to end there" in the fourth paragraph means that ______.
A．things might not go from bad to worse.
B．the doctor tried to cure fits.
C．more people suffered from fits.
D．the situation was further aggravated.
参考答案
正确答案：D
解析：语义理解题。由题干定位至第四段。第三段提到1692年在Salem的定居者开始出现莫名其妙的痉挛，医生认为这是由巫术造成的，并找出了施巫术的人。第四段介绍了当时的情况：其他的年轻妇女开始出现痉挛，危机结束时，19人正式起诉，54人承认自己施了巫术，150人受到施展巫术的指控。由首句中的虚拟语气及后面的But it didn't可以判断，事与愿违，事件并未就此结束，而是进一步恶化，故[D]为答案。
