参考解析
解析：根据文章第一段最后一句：" It seems that they find it difficult to accept such a great figure could have had such an ordinary character.”由此可以判断人们失望是因为他们很难接受这样一个伟大的人物居然是这样一个普通人，所以选B。
第二段第五句提到：" This expression of anxiety , which arose from nothing more than short-sight"，他焦虑的神情来自于他的近视，所以选C“他视力不好”。 arise在文中的意思是“起因于······，由······产生”。
第二段第五句提到：" This expression of anxiety...inspire the protective in-stincts of his lady admirers" , inspire意为“激发”' protective instinct意为“保护的本能”。所以选 B，即让他的女性崇拜者想要保护他。
文章的后两段指出了劳伦斯是一个天生懒惰、无聊的人，有强迫阅读症，只有D“劳伦斯是一个幽默的人”这点在全文都没有提及，所以选D。
文章的最后一段提到：" Stanly , who...who always brought us bags of sugar and broken biscuits"，小孩子更喜欢叔祖父的表兄是因为他总带给他们糖和饼干，都是孩子爱吃的东西，所以B正确。
