Many jokes are made up about famous people.  Here is one about Bill Clinton,  the former(先前的) president of the United States.
Hillary died and went to heaven.  When she was met by the Angel Gabriel she noticed behind her a wall of unimaginable proportions(部分) that was completely covered with clocks.
“What are they?” she asked the heavenly angel in complete surprise.
“They are lie clocks.  Each time you lie, the hand moves a little bit to the right.  See that one?” the angel pointed to one that hadn’t moved at all, “That’s Mother Theresa’s,  who has never told a lie.  And that one, ” he points to another, “That was Abraham Lincoln’s.  He only ever told two lies. ”
Hillary looked around with some interest,  then wandered back over to the angel again. “Excuse me, ” she asked, “but where is Bill Clinton’s clock?”“The Lord Jesus is using it in his office for a ceiling fan. ”
【小題1】The clock of Bill Clinton is used as a ceiling fan because_____.

A．the Lord Jesus likes him
B．the wall was already covered by other clocks
C．his clock moves the fastest
D．his clock moves too slowly
【小題2】It was suggested in the joke that_______.
A．Hillary couldn’t find her own clock
B．Mother Theresa told the fewest lies
C．Clinton is a big liar
D．The Lord Jesus likes clocks very much
【小題3】Who is the most honest person mentioned?
A．Bill ClintonB．Mother Theresa
C．Abraham LincolnD．Hillary


【小題1】C
【小題2】C
【小題3】B

解析【小題1】C推理判斷題。從第四段the angel pointed to one that hadn't moved at all,  "That's Mother Theresa's,  who has never told a lie. 可推知，說謊越多，表針轉(zhuǎn)得越快，Bill Clinton說謊最多。
【小題2】C推理判斷題。說謊越多，表針轉(zhuǎn)得越快。被當做風扇用，說謊一定很多。
【小題3】B細節(jié)理解題。從第四段the angel pointed to one that hadn't moved at all,  "That's Mother Theresa's,  who has never told a lie. "可知�！�

閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的四個選項中，選出最佳選項。

　　Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on follows at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.

　　For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute impolitely; he does so with skill: “I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the colour you mentioned.” Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is:“This is the right colour and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.”

　　Now how does a woman go about buying clothes In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round”. She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary(相反的) to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lockout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.

1．What does the passage tell us about women shoppers for clothes?

[　　]

A．They welcome suggestions from anyone.

B．Women rarely consider buying cheap clothes.

C．Women often buy things without giving the matter proper thought.

D．They listen to advice but never take it.

2．What does a man do when he can not get exactly what he wants?

[　　]

A．He buys a similar thing of the colour he wants.

B．He usually does not buy anything.

C．At least two of his requirements must be met before he buys.

D．So long as the style is right, he buys the thing.

3．Many jokes make fun of women shoppers by saying that ________.

[　　]

A．they waste money on inferior(劣質(zhì)的) goods

B．they should buy only the best clothes

C．they are much more sensible than men

D．they think of the price of clothes and nothing else

4．What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers?

[　　]

A．The fact that men do not try clothes on in a shop.

B．Women bargain for their clothes, but men do not.

C．Women stand up to shop. but men sit down.

D．The time they take over buying clothes
