参考答案

正确答案：A
解析：推断题。首段第三句描述了这些男士的穿着打扮、举止表情“They had high hats．healthy pale faces，dark overcoats and shiny boots；they held in their gloved hands thin umbrellas and hastily folded evening papers that resembled stiff，dirty rags of greenish，pinkish，or whitish color”，句中的healthy以及shiny boots表明这些男士经济状况良好，身体健康，故[A]为答案。第四句指出“AIvan Hervey stepped out with the rest，a smoldering cigar between his teeth．”，这里没有具体描述Ah,an Hervey如何下车，[B]中的leisurely无依据，排除；倒数第二句“an icy draught mingled with acrid fumes swept the whole length of the platform. and made a tottering old mall，wrapped up to his ears in a woolen comforter，stop short in the moving throng to cough violently over his stick”表明老人剧烈地咳嗽，但没有说几乎摔倒，[C]无依据；第五句提到“A disregarded little woman in rusty black，with both artist full of parcels，ran along in distress，bolted suddenly into a third—class compartment and the train went on．”，句中提到的是parcels不是boxes，排除[D]。
