A:unhappy
B:ready
C:prepared
D:reluctant

参考答案:D

本题考查的是对近义形容词的辫析。本句话的意思是“当得知我现已失业后,他们都不愿意借钱给我”。A选项。unhappy意为“不快乐的”;B选项ready的意思是“准备完毕的,心甘情愿的”,常用搭配是be ready to do sth.或者be ready for sth.,意思和题目相反;C选项prepared意为“准备好的,愿意的”,常用搭配是be prepared to do sth.或者be prepared for sth.,意思和题目相反;D选项reluctant的意思是“勉强的,不愿意的”,常用搭配是be reluctant to do sth.。题目中unwilling的意思与reluctant相似,因此D选项符合题意。
