网考网解析：
语义和词汇线索题。此句强调“给整个房子里的人带来厄运”。house表示“(通常作单数)住在一所房子中的人们，家人”，例如：Be quiet or you’ll wake the whole house!安静点吧，别把全家人都吵醒了!household表示“一家人，家眷，家庭，户”，此词本身已有强调“所有人”的意思，所以一般不再与whole搭配，例如：I grew up as part of a large house hold.我是在一个大家庭里长大的；home表示“家，房子，住所”；circle表示“(有共同兴趣、职业等的人形成的)圈子，阶层，界”，例如：business/political/theatrical circle商/政/戏剧界。因此选项[A]为最佳答案。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
