Mary didn’t understand such sentences as“She is blue today”,“You are yellow”,“He has a green thumb”,“He has told a white lie”and so on.And she went to the teacher Mrs James for help.
Mary:Mrs James,there is a colour in each of the sentences.What do they mean?
Mrs James:In everyday English,Mary,blue sometimes means sad,yellow afraid.A person with a green thumb grows plants well and a white lie is not a bad one.
Mary:I'm afraid I don’t understand them all.Would you give me an example for “a white lie”?
Mrs James:Certainly.Now I just give you some cakes.In fact you don’t like it,but you don’t want to let me know it.Instead you say,“No,thanks.I’m not hungry.”That’s a white lie.
Mary:It sounds very interesting.Thanks very much.
Mrs James:You are welcome.Colours are meaningful.I think you will meet more sentences like these in the future.Please come to me if you have any questions.
【小题1】Blue sometimes means sad in ________ English.

A.goodB.spokenC.usualD.poor
【小题2】I don’t have a green thumb,so all my plants________.
A.die offB.grow wellC.look niceD.are good
【小题3】He is ________today.He is told that his father is seriously ill.
A.blueB.yellowC.greenD.white


【小题1】B
【小题2】A
【小题3】A

解析试题分析:本文是Mary不明白英语中颜色的其他含义,故求助于Mrs James。Mrs James不仅认真地回答了Mary的问题,而且还欢迎她再来。。
【小题1】 细节理解题。根据MrsJames的第一个答语:In everyday English,Mary,blue sometimes means sad,日常英语中。蓝色有时意味着悲伤。Everyday English日常英语,一般多指spoken English英语口语。故判断为B。
【小题2】 推理判断题。根据文中的A person with a green thumb grows plants well一个种植能手能种好植物。I don’t have a green thumb意思是我不会种植,所有植物都枯萎了。故判断为A。
【小题3】 细节理解题。根据文中的blue sometimes means sad,有因为题干中说“他被告知他的父亲病得厉害,因为他很难过”。故选A。
考点:教育类短文阅读。
