He met her at a party. She was outstanding; many guys were after her, but nobody

题型：不详难度：来源：
He met her at a party. She was outstanding; many guys were after her, but nobody paid any attention to him. After the party, he invited her for coffee. She was surprised, so as not to appear rude, she went along.
As they sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything and she felt uncomfortable. Suddenly, he asked the waiter, “Could you please give me some salt? I"d like to put it in my coffee."
They stared at him. He turned red, but when the salt came, he put it in his coffee and drank. Curious, she asked, "Why salt with coffee?" He explained, "When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea. I liked playing on the sea.I could feel it salty, like salty coffee. Now every time I drink it, I think of my childhood and my hometown. I miss it and my parents, who are still there."
She was deeply moved. A man who can admit that he"s homesick must love his home and care about his family. He must be responsible. She talked too, about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was the start to their love story.
They continued to date. She found that he met all her requirements. He was tolerant, kind, warm and careful. And to think she would have missed the catch if not for the salty coffee! So they married and lived happily together. And every time she made coffee for him, she put in some salt, the way he liked it.
After 40 years, he passed away and left her a letter which said:
My dearest, please forgive my life-long lie. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous that I asked for salt instead of sugar. It was hard for me to ask for a change, so I just went ahead. I never thought that we would hit it off. Many times, I tried to tell you the truth, but I was afraid that it would ruin everything.
Sweetheart, I don"t exactly like salty coffee. But as it mattered so much to you, I"ve learnt to enjoy it. Having you with me was my greatest happiness. If I could live a second time, I hope we can be together again, even if it means that I have to drink salty coffee for the rest of my life.

C．a mistake for loveD．a homesick man

答案

小题1:C
小题2:D
小题3:B
解析

试题分析：这是一个感人的爱情故事，男主人翁因为爱着对方，默默付出是伟大的，为了自己的真爱，学着接受，学着改变 —— 爱需要无私的付出。
小题1:细节理解题：题目问：这个人为什么要盐？根据salt定位到第二段的句子：As they sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything and she felt uncomfortable. Suddenly, he asked the waiter, “Could you please give me some salt? I"d like to put it in my coffee."可知这个人当时太紧张了，说错了，所以选C。
小题2:推理题：要求从四个选项中找出从文章中推理出来的一项，A这个人喜欢喝咸的咖啡。这是错的，B项这个人擅长撒谎，而实际上这一生他就撒过一次谎，而且是因为太爱自己的妻子了，C是这个人非常想念家人，文章没有提到，D项说这个人非常爱这个女士。这可以从最后一段But as it mattered so much to you, I"ve learnt to enjoy it. Having you with me was my greatest happiness. 推断出来。所以选D。
小题3:标题确定题：文章讲述了男主人翁不小心说错话，让女主人翁认为他是喜欢喝咸咖啡，为了自己的爱人，男主角一直都喝着咸咖啡，文章就是围绕咸咖啡在说，咸咖啡里面包含的是默默的爱，所以B是最好的标题。
举一反三

Standing alone at Browns party，Anna Mackintosh thought about her husband Edward，establishing him clearly in her mind’s eye. He was a thin man，forty-one years of age，with fair hair that was often untidy．In the seventeen years they’d been married he had changed very little：he was still nervous with other people，and smiled in the same shy way，and his face was still almost boyish．
She believed she had failed him because he had wished for children and she had not been able to supply any．She had been annoyed for this fact over the years and in the end，quite some time ago now，she had consulted Dr.Abbat at Edward’s request.
In the Browns’rich living room，its walls and ceilings giving out a bright light with a metallic surface of imitation gold，Anna listened to dance music coming from a tape recorder and continued to think about her husband．
In a moment he would be at the party too，since they had agreed to meet there，although by now it was three quarters of an hour later than the time he had planned to come.
The Browns were people he knew in a business way，and he had said he thought it wise that he and Anna should attend this gathering of theirs. She had never met them before，which made it more difficult for her，having to wait about，not knowing a soul in the room．
When she thought about it she felt herself unfairly treated，for although Edward was kind to her and always had been，it was far from thoughtful to be as late as this. Because of her nervous condition she felt afraid and had developed a sickness in her stomach．She looked at her watch and sighed．
小题1:What made Anna feel that she had failed her husband，Edward?

A．He knew that he was going to be late．
B．He believed she would impress the Browns．
C．He thought it clever for her to associate with the Browns．
