【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,選擇最佳答案。
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.

【解析】這是一個關(guān)于善于的謊言的感人的愛情故事,在戀愛的時候,有一次男主人公請女朋友喝咖啡,由于緊張把糖說成鹽,但是不好意思糾正,只好說自己喜歡喝咸咖啡。結(jié)婚之后,女主人公給自己的丈夫泡咖啡時總會加點鹽,這樣男主人公喝了40年的咸咖啡,最后男主人公去世后留給女主人公一封信才揭開這個善意的謊言。
(1)B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段最后兩句After the party, he invited her for coffee. She was surprised, so as not to appear rude, she went along.可知,因為她不想沒禮貌,她接受了喝咖啡的邀請。故選B。
(2)C 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中I was so nervous that I asked for salt instead of sugar.可知,這個人當(dāng)時太緊張了,把糖說成鹽,故選C。
(3)A 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句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.(如果有來生,我希望我們還在一起,即使我的余生不得不喝加鹽的咖啡。)可知,這位女性一定是很感動的,故選A項。
(4)B 主旨大意題。文章講述了男主人公不小心說錯話,讓女主人公認為他是喜歡喝咸咖啡,為了自己的愛人,男主人公一直都喝著咸咖啡,文章就是圍繞咸咖啡在說,咸咖啡里面包含的是默默的愛,所以B是最好的標題。

Nowadays more and more Chinese go to work with bicycle, leaving their cars at home. Why are so many people riding bicycles to work? They have different reason for it.
First, bicycles do not use up any fuel. Therefore, they cost less than other means of transport. Besides, bicycles do not need many space on the road, and it is easily to find a place for it. And everybody knows that riding a bicycle is healthy sport.
When people drive their cars to work or shop, they lost the chance to exercise, but the waste gas from the cars will pollute the air. And moreover, people feel annoying when looking for a parking lot in the busy city center. So I prefer riding a bicycle to drive a car.
We are looking forward to a cleaner and better environment by changing our life style.

【題目】Parents usually teach their children how to cross the street safety, by looking both ways for cars.1 The city of Honolulu, Hawaii wants everyone to learn that lesson.

2Beginning on October 24, you will be fined from $ 15 to $ 99 if you step into a Honolulu street while looking at your phone. Honolulu is the first major U.S. city to ban what is called “distracted walking”. It recently passed a law in a seven to two vote. The law says, “No pedestrian shall cross a street or highway while viwing a mobile electronic device.’ 3

The law includes all electronic devices with screens: cellphone, tablets, gaming devices, digital cameras and laptop computers.4 Pedestrians may use such devices in the street to call emergency services and rescue workers, such as firefighters and police officers.

Pedestrian deaths have been increasing as the use of cellphones rises. The Governors Highway Safety Association, or GHSA, says pedestrian deaths in the United States increased 25 percent 2010 and 2015. That trend continued in 2016 with the number of pedestrian deaths rising to almost 6000, 11% higher than in 2015.

5The state of Washington was the first to outlaw distracted driving back in 2007. Now, 46 other states as well as D. C. , Puerto Rico, Guam and the U. S. Virgin Islands, have laws against texting while driving.

If you etill want to text while walking, you could avoid being fined in Honolulu by using a voice-controlled digital assistant such as Siri or Google Assistant. Or you could just wait until you are again, safely, off the street.

A. The law does permit an exception.

B. Other U. S. cities may follow Honolulu

C. But do they also teach them to put away their cellphones?

D. Texting while crossing the street will soon be banned in the city.

E. Do you like Honolulu’s new law that bans texting while walking?

F. In other words, do not look at a screen when you cross the street or you could be fined.

G. The law’s creator hope it will lower the number of people hit and killed by cars in the city.
