参考答案
Ⅰ.[主旨大意] 本文是一篇记叙文,主要叙述的是作者和妻子约定吃饭,但作者迟到了,于是作者找借口说一个商务会议拖延了时间,但是这让事情更加糟糕了。作者跟他的朋友描述这件事情,朋友帮他分析原因,作者终于找出问题的根源所在。
1.B 考查动词。agree to do sth意为“同意做某事”。在此表示夫妻两人约定晚上在餐厅共进晚餐。
2.B 考查形容词。“我”约会迟到了,因此心情是有点不安的、忧虑的,所以后文才会找借口解释。故选B。
3.C 考查名词。根据上文“…meet at the restaurant…”可知选C。
4.C 考查副词。根据下文“Well, I could tell how angry she was.”可知妻子是非常生气地大吼。
5.A 考查连词。“我”告诉她开会这个理由了,然而这让事情变得更糟糕了。表示转折用however。
6.C 考查人称代词。由后文as well 可知不仅“我”的妻子生气了,“我”也很生气,故选C。
7.D
8.B 考查动词。make a mistake意为“犯错误”。classic意为“典型的”,表示这种错误的普遍性。
9.B 10.D 11.C 12.D
13.C 考查动词短语。句意:Eleanor在乎的是这个行为的结果而不是理由。故选C。
14.A 考查宾语从句的引导词。“我”应该先表达“我”的行为怎样影响了Eleanor。故选how。
