Question

【题目】根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。
He met her at a party. She was outstanding; many guys were after her, but nobody paid any attention to him. After the party, he invited her for coffee. She was surprised, so as not to appear rude, she went along.
As they sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything and she felt uncomfortable. Suddenly, he asked the waiter, “Could you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee."
They stared at him. He turned red, but when the salt came, he put it in his coffee and drank. Curious, she asked, "Why salt with coffee?" He explained, "When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea. I liked playing on the sea. I could feel it salty, like salty coffee. Now every time I drink it, I think of my childhood and my hometown. I miss it and my parents, who are still there."
She was deeply moved. A man who can admit that he's homesick must love his home and care about his family. He must be responsible. She talked too, about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was the start to their love story.
They continued to date. She found that he met all her requirements. He was tolerant, kind, warm and careful. And to think she would have missed the catch if not for the salty coffee! So they married and lived happily together. And every time she made coffee for him, she put in some salt, the way he liked it.
After 40 years, he passed away and left her a letter which said:
My dearest, please forgive my life-long lie. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous that I asked for salt instead of sugar. It was hard for me to ask for a change, so I just went ahead. I never thought that we would hit it off. Many times, I tried to tell you the truth, but I was afraid that it would ruin everything. Sweetheart, I don't exactly like salty coffee. But as it mattered so much to you, I've learnt to enjoy it. Having you with me was my greatest happiness. If I could live a second time, I hope we can be together again, even if it means that I have to drink salty coffee for the rest of my life.

【解析】这是一个关于善于的谎言的感人的爱情故事，在恋爱的时候，有一次男主人公请女朋友喝咖啡，由于紧张把糖说成盐，但是不好意思纠正，只好说自己喜欢喝咸咖啡。结婚之后，女主人公给自己的丈夫泡咖啡时总会加点盐，这样男主人公喝了40年的咸咖啡，最后男主人公去世后留给女主人公一封信才揭开这个善意的谎言。
（1）B 推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句After the party, he invited her for coffee. She was surprised, so as not to appear rude, she went along.可知，因为她不想没礼貌，她接受了喝咖啡的邀请。故选B。
（2）C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中I was so nervous that I asked for salt instead of sugar.可知，这个人当时太紧张了，把糖说成盐，故选C。
（3）A 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句If I could live a second time, I hope we can be together again, even if it means that I have to drink salty coffee for the rest of my life.（如果有来生，我希望我们还在一起，即使我的余生不得不喝加盐的咖啡。）可知，这位女性一定是很感动的，故选A项。
（4）B 主旨大意题。文章讲述了男主人公不小心说错话，让女主人公认为他是喜欢喝咸咖啡，为了自己的爱人，男主人公一直都喝着咸咖啡，文章就是围绕咸咖啡在说，咸咖啡里面包含的是默默的爱，所以B是最好的标题。
