参考解析
解析：本句意思是：当那位年轻的妻子听到她的丈夫在矿难中死去的消息，她立刻就失去了意识。句中became unconscious意为“失去意识”，如：She became unconscious but her heart was still beating.她已经不省人事，但脉搏还在跳。faint意为“昏倒，晕倒”，如：Facer has fainted ; this bucket of water should fetch him round.费塞昏过去了，这桶水可以使他苏醒过来。paint意为“涂色，描画”，如：I made a guitar and painted it red.我做了一把吉他，并把它漆成了红色。taint意为“使变质，使污染”，如：Bad books will taint the young mind.坏书会毒害年轻人的思想。saint作动词时意为“使······成为圣徒”。只有选项A同句中画线单词含义接近。

A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration.All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to partake of the festivities and celebrations. All had a wonderful time.The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in his black tuxedo. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a proposal,“I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage,” she offered.“Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together. ”Her husband agreed. So each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they came up with.The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists.“I'll start,” offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it. Enough to fill 3 pages in fact. As she started, reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband's eyes.“What’s wrong?” she asked.“Nothing,” the husband replied, “keep reading your list.”The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over the top of it.“Now，you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on both of our lists, ” she said happily.Quietly the husband stated, “I don't have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way that you are. I don't want you to change anything for me.

This latest addition to her vast stash ofmoney must catapult her spouse Gregg to the very top of the global my-wife-earns-more-than-meleague table.It is quite an achievement. I have no idea if the two of them like each other, but they havestuck it out for a long time. They met at school and he chucked his job to follow her to the UKwhen she became head of Burberry; he seems to have spent the last eight years mainly looking aftertheir three children, revamping their home and putting supper on the table for her when she finallystaggered in on her five-inch heels. I suspect the real genius of Ms Ahrendts lies less in the wayshe persuaded people to buy 22,000 raincoats with peacock feather trims than in persuadingGregg to marry her--and to stick with her ever since.It is no longer particularly rare for women to be the main breadwinner--in the US a quarter ofwives now earn more than their husbands--but what is rarer is for such a relationship to work. Abook published last week by the journalist Farnoosh Torabi draws together data showing just howhard it is: high-earning women have difficulty finding a husband, and when they do, he is five timesas likely to be unfaithful as other husbands.

One friend complained that she no longer knew what her husband was for ashe neither made much money nor showed any desire to help out at home.
