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.

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。

Dear Betty,
I hope you’re well. I’m on holiday in London with my friend Jenny. We arrived by plane on Monday and took a taxi to our hotel. I went for a walk in Hyde Park but Jenny didn’t come with me because she was tired.
Then on Tuesday we saw the clock, Big Ben, and Buckingham Palace. Queen Elizabeth lives in the Palace, but we didn’t see her! I bought some presents but Jenny didn’t buy anything!
The next day we visited the British Museum and had dinner in a Chinese restaurant!
On Thursday morning we relaxed. Then we went to Tower Bridge on the River Thames and looked at the city. It’s very big!
Finally today I did some shopping and Jenny listened to a concert in the park. I came back to the hotel and read the newspaper. Then I wrote some postcards and sent some emails. I took lots of photos and I’m sending them with this email to you!
Tomorrow we’re going to fly home. It was a short holiday, but it was great! Say hello to your mum and dad.
Love,                      Gran
