题目内容
根据短文内容填空,每空不超过4个单词。
Mary didn’t understand such sentences as “You are yellow.” “She has a green thumb( 拇指 ).” “ He has told me a white lie.” And so on. So she went to her English teacher for help.
Mary : Mrs. Smith, there is a color in each of these sentences. Could you tell me what they mean?
Mrs. Smith: In English, yellow sometimes means afraid. Blue means sad. A person with a green thumb grows plants well. And a white lie is not a bad one.
Mary: Would you give me an example for a white lie?
Mrs. Smith: Certainly. Now I give you some cakes. In fact you don’t like them, but you won’t say so. Instead you say, “No, I’m not hungry.” That is a white lie.
Mary : Oh, I see. Thank you very much.
【小题1】Mary did not understand the sentences and asked Mrs. Smith for ______________.
【小题2】You are blue today means you feel _____________.
【小题3】I don’t have a _______________, so all my plants are dead.

【小题5】This passage is about _____________ and their meanings.
【小题1】help
【小题2】sad
【小题3】green thumb
【小题4】a white lie
【小题5】some sentences
解析1. help 根据So she went to her English teacher for help可知Mary向她的老师Mrs. Smith寻求帮助,故用help。
2. sad 根据下面Mrs. Smith的解释:In English, yellow sometimes means afraid. Blue means sad可知蓝色代表的sad。
3. green thumb 文章说A person with a green thumb grows plants well,有a green thumb的植物生长得好,那么没有就可能会死,这里是反着来说的。
4. a white lie善意的谎言。下文举例蛋糕的事,你不想吃可以说我不饿,其实就是一个a white lie。故你不想告诉别人实情,就可用这种方式。
5. some sentences 从文章中Mrs. Smith与Mary的对话,老师提到了许多与颜色有关的句子,故答案为some sentences。
