题目内容
I’m very pleased with the results of my blood test, for all tested items show _____ reactions.
A. negative B. good C. positive D. correct
A
解析:
：本题极易将人引入习惯思维的陷阱。既然主语心情为pleased，应该体检项目的结果为阴性，negative除表否定，消极之意外，还有表阴性之意。而如果仅看positive 的字面含义“积极的”、“肯定的”而忽略整个语境的意义从而选C项的话， 实际就成为检查结果呈阳性，证明主语有病，前后就自相矛盾了。
Sarah Williams went to a boarding school. Here is one of the
letters she wrote to her parents from the school.
Wentworth Girls' School
Beachside
July 20th
Dearest Mom and Dad,
I'm afraid I have some very bad news for you. I have been very naughty and the school principal is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer.
The trouble started last night when I was smoking in bed. This is against the rules, of course. We are not supposed to smoke at all.
As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away.
Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket, which caught fire.
There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket which caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning.
The principal phoned for the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the fire department arrived, the whole school was in flames. Many of the girls are in the hospital.
The principal says that the fire was all my fault and you must pay for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.
I’m very sorry about this.
Much love,
Sarah
P. S. None of the above is true, but I have failed my exams. I just want you to know how bad things could have been!
