13、析】本文講的是 a、b、c三人由于不明白英語中的一些習語的意思而鬧出的笑話。 1. c。詞義推斷題。根據 a 聽到有人喊 “look out.，就把頭伸出窗外，結果是一桶水潑了下來，由此推出潑水的人喊 “look out 是在提醒別人留神一下，他要潑水了，因此 “look out 是注意、留神的意思，所以此題答案為 c。2. b。細節判斷題。“all hands on deck 是“全體船員到甲板上集合的意思，b 卻誤解了這句話的含義，把雙手放在了甲板上。因為船員要到甲板上集合，就有人踩到了他的雙手，由此可知 “them是 “my hands 的意思，所以答案為 b。3. d。詞義推斷題。根據

14、 c 講述的第1句中 “early 的和仆人說的話hes not up yet. come back in half an hour 可推出 hes not up 是 he hasnt got up 之意；根據 when i went again for him, she said, “hes not down yet. 可推知 hes not down 是 he hasnt come downstairs 之意。所以答案為 d。4. c。語義理解題。通讀全文可知，a、b、c 三人因為沒有理解這些習語的真正含義，所以他們對別人的做法和說的話感到迷惑不解。由此可知 how strange 作為這

15、篇文章的標題最適宜，所以答案為 c。5. d。主旨題。通讀全文可知 “look out “ all hands on deck “ up “down 在特殊的語境里都不再是字面的意思了，由此可知作者是想告訴讀者有些詞或短語在不同的語境里有不同的含義，所以答案為 d。4a beautiful and very successful actress was the star of a new musical show. her home was in the country, but she didnt want to have to go back there every night. so s
