Question

4．Joan，super visor （检查员） of the town's morals recently accused George，a local man，of having a drinking problem because she noticed his car outside the town's only bar．She reasoned，it was a logical assumption （逻辑假设）．George stared at her for a moment and said nothing．Later that evening，he parked his car in front of her house and left it there all night．
Why is it that so many of our logical assumptions are just plain wrong？And why do we want to act as if they must be true？In an age long before the Internet，a young American at a party found himself seated next to the famous Chinese diplomat Wellington Koo．Completely not knowing what to say to someone from such a different culture，this young man turned and asked，"Likee soupee？"After all，he assumed，don't all Chinese speak in broken English？Mr．Koo smiled and nodded．Later when called upon to speak，Wellington Koo delivered a wonderful talk in fluent English，sat down while the applause was still continuing，turned to the young man and whispered，"Likee speechee？"
Do you know why red roses are so popular？Men keep buying them．They assume that all women prefer red roses．But when women are asked what color of rose is their favorite，they are more likely to answer that they prefer yellow，white or peach．And when asked what kind of flowers they would prefer to receive，the answer is generally not roses at all．The age-old assumption that most women like red roses best is simply not true．
We all make assumptions．They're too often wrong and can easily get us into trouble．So here is what I've learned：when in doubt，check it out．And if I'm not in doubt，I still check it out．We may think we know．But what we know may not be so．So it's best to check it out．
64．According to the passage，we can know George isA
A．clever           B．honest        C．kind-hearted        D．bad-tempered
65．Wellington Koo's experience is mentioned to showB．

分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了人们的假设是错误的，很容易让我们陷入麻烦，因此我们应当做的是当有疑问的时候，检查它，如果我没有疑问，我仍然检查它．

解答 64．A．推理判断题．根据文章第一段"Later that evening，he parked his car in front of her house and left it there all night"可知乔治懂得用事实来反驳琼的指责；可知他是很聪明的；故选A．
65．B．推理判断题．根据文章第二段"After all，he assumed，don't all Chinese speak in broken English？Mr．Koo smiled and nodded．Later when called upon to speak，Wellington Koo delivered a wonderful talk in fluent English"可知文中举外交家的例子是为了说明人们的假设是错误的；故选B．

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．
