When I was fourteen years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad (Like many English children, I had often been to France). So when I went to America I thought I would have a nice easy holiday without any language problem. How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to tell my American friend Danny that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me. “Yes,” I said, “I want to give my friend a ring.” “Well, that’s nice,” he said, “Are you getting married? But aren’t you too young?” “Who is talking about marriage?” I replied, “I only want to give my friend a ring to tell him I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there is a phone box?” “Oh,” he said, “there is a phone downstairs.” When at last we met, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me. “Don’t worry,” he said to me, “I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which Americans use differently in meaning from British people. You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time, British and American people understand each other.” 小题1:The writer was from________.A.Japan | B.France | C.America | D.England | 小题2:The writer thought ________ in America at first.A.he wouldn’t have any language difficulties | B.he would be lost and he had to call the police for help | C.he wouldn’t understand the Americans | D.he would have a terrible holiday | 小题3:The writer wanted to ________ at the airport.A.have a meal | B.buy a map | C.call his friend | D.find an old man | 小题4:According to the friendly old man, “give somebody a ring” means “________”.A.make a telephone call to somebody | B.be going to get married | C.buy a ring for somebody | D.ask somebody to wear a ring | 小题5:The underlined word “they” refers to ________.A.the old man and the boy | B.the British | C.the French | D.the Americans |

解析
试题分析:这篇短文主要介绍了作者做为一个英国人,认为去美国旅行不会遇到语言方面的问题。可是刚下飞机,在飞机场就遇到了由于英美语言使用不同的语言方面的问题。 小题1:细节理解题。根据短文第一段Like many English children, I had often been to France描述,像许多英国孩子一样,我已经去过法国。故选D。 小题2:细节理解题。根据第一段So when I went to America I thought I would have a nice easy holiday without any language problem.描述。所以当我去美国时,我认为我会有一个轻松而愉快的假期,不会有任何语言问题。故选A。 小题3:推理判断题。根据第二段I was looking for a public telephone to tell my American friend Danny that I had arrived描述我正在找公共电话以告诉我的朋友丹尼我到了。由此可知他想打电话。故选C。 小题4:推理判断题。根据当作者说想给朋友打电话时老人的疑问Are you getting married?你将要结婚吗?可知,故选B 小题5:词义猜测题。根据There are lots of words which Americans use differently in meaning from British people. You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they say.描述,有许多的单词美国人和英国人在使用时意思是不同的,但是你将习惯于他们说的有趣的话。作者是英国人,故他们指的是上文提到的美国人。故选D。 |

Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton(骨骼) in the closet (衣橱)?” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother thought for a while. “Well, it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.” “Why pick on my family?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was brought to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse. After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and from time to time she looked angrily at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank in a faint(晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter. “What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I wanted to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I said something about skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re both crazy,” she thought. 小题1:According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means ________.A.a family honor | B.a family secret | C.a family story | D.a family treasure | 小题2:Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home?A.She was curious about it. | B.She planned to keep it for fun. | C.She needed it for her school task. | D.She wanted to scare her parents. | 小题3:Jessica’s parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because ________.A.they realized their misunderstanding | B.they were crazy | C.they were over excited | D.they both thought they had won the quarrel |
