Question

【题目】Dinner decisions!

Sally: The boss has asked me to dinner. What do I do? Should I take a gift?

Bob, Joe and Ellen: Yes!

Sally: OK, what should I take? What about wine?

Bob: No! It is too hard to pick the right wine. It is difficult because you don’t want to spend too much or too little. You have to pick a wine he likes. What’s more, you have to pick a wine that will go with the dinner! Don’t even think about it! Get some chocolates for his wife instead.

Ellen: No! What if she’s on a diet (减肥)? ________ You have to pick chocolates she likes. Some people like plain chocolate, while others like different fillings. So, not chocolates, Sally.

Sally: Flowers, then?

Joe: No! He has an allergy (过敏) to flowers. They make him sneeze (打喷嚏). Take some good coffee. I know he LOVES coffee.

Ellen: Anyway, Sally, that’s not the most important question. What are you going to wear? You mustn’t be better dressed than his wife. But you still have to look smart enough, or it is disrespectful.

Sally: Oh no! It’s too hard! I don’t want to go!

Bob: Well, that would be rude (无礼的)!

【3】B

【解析】

本文是一篇对话类题材。Sally被老板邀请去晚餐，她不知道带什么礼物。Bob, Joe and Ellen帮助Sally出主意，Sally认为太困难了，不想去了。但是其他人觉得那样会很无礼。

【1】细节理解题。根据“Bob: No! It is too hard to pick the right wine. It is difficult because you don’t want to spend too much or too little. You have to pick a wine he likes. What’s more, you have to pick a wine that will go with the dinner! Don’t even think about it! Get some chocolates for his wife instead.”可知，Bob认为选择一款酒是很困难的，因为要花时间选而且要挑他喜欢的，太难了。不如给他老婆买巧克力来替代。故选B。

【2】细节理解题。根据前后文“What if she’s on a diet (减肥)? … You have to pick chocolates she likes.”可知，她要是减肥怎么办呢？你必须选择一款她喜欢的巧克力。所以Ellen认为巧克力不合适，挑选起来很困难。故选D。

【3】推理判断题。根据“Sally: Oh no! It’s too hard! I don’t want to go! Bob: Well, that would be rude (无礼的)!”可知，Bob认为那样很无礼，所以Sally最后还是要去的。A错误；根据“Joe: No! He has an allergy (过敏) to flowers. They make him sneeze (打喷嚏). Take some good coffee. I know he LOVES coffee.”可知，Joe知道老板对花过敏，老板喜欢喝咖啡。所以Joe很了解老板。B正确；根据“Ellen: No! Some people like plain chocolate, while others like different fillings. So, not chocolates, Sally.”可知，Ellen认为每个人喜欢不同的巧克力，所以不让Sally选择巧克力。C错误；根据“Joe: No! He has an allergy (过敏) to flowers. They make him sneeze (打喷嚏). Take some good coffee. I know he LOVES coffee.”可知，Joe知道老板对花过敏，老板喜欢喝咖啡。所以Joe很了解老板，因此这三个人应该是同事关系，D错误。故选B。
