    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

     

    At the end of a party，he invited her to have coffee with him．In a nice coffee shop，he was too nervous to say anything，and she felt uncomfortable，thinking，“Please let me go home．’’

    Suddenly he asked the waiter，“Would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee．’’

    Everybody，stared at him—so strange! His face turned red，but，still，he put the salt in his coffee and drank it．

    She asked him curiously，“Why do you have this hobby?”

    He replied，“When I was a little boy，I was living near the sea．I liked playing in the sea，and I could feel the taste of the sea，just like the taste of the salty coffee．Now every time I have the salty coffee，I always think of my childhood．I miss my hometown and my parents so much．’’  

    She was deeply touched．A man who can tell out his-homesickness must be a man who loves home，cares about home，and has responsibility for home．

    They continued to date．She found that actually he was such a good person，but she almost missed him!

    Thanks to his salty coffee! Then the story went just like every beautiful love story．．．And，every time she made coffee for him，she put some salt in the coffee．

    After 40 years，he passed away，leaving her a letter which said，“My dearest，please forgive my whole life lie．This was the only lie I told to you—the salty coffee．

    “Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time．Actually I wanted some sugar，but I said salt．It was hard for me to change，so I just went ahead．

    “I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life，but I was too afraid to do that，as I have promised not to lie to you for anything．

     “Now I'm dying，I'm afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth：I don’t like the salty coffee．What a strange bad taste! But I have had the salty coffee in my whole life!…”

     Her tears made the letter totally wet．Someday，someone asked her，“What’s the taste of salty coffee?” “It’s sweet.” she replied．

    1.After ordering some salt for his coffee，the young man must have felt         ．   

    A．excited                    B．satisfied       C．embarrassed     D．displeased

    　　Most young architects－particularly those in big cities－can only dream about working in a building of their own．And marking that dream come true often means finding a building no one else seems to want, which is exactly what happened to David Yocum and his partner, Brain Bell．Their building is a former automobile electrical –parts firm in Atlanta．Form the outside, it looks too old, even something horrible, but open the door and you are in a wide, open courtyard, lined on three sides with rusting(生锈的)walls．

    　　In 2000, Yocum and Bell found this building in the city’s West End．Built in 1947, the structure had been abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down．But the price was right, so Yocum bought it．He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition(拆除)，pulling rubbish out through the roof, because it was too dangerous to go inside the building, The demolition was hard work, but it gave him time to think about what he wanted to do, and “to treasure what was there－the walls, the rust, the light,” Yocum said．” Every season, more paint falls off the walls and more rust develops．It’s like an art installation(装置)in there-a slow-motion show．”

    　　Since the back building had been constructed without windows, an all-glass front was added to the building to give it a view of the courtyard, and skylights were installed in the roof．The back of the building is a working area and a living room for Yocum and his wife．A sort of buffer(缓冲)zone between the front and the back contains a bathroom, a kitchen and a mechanical room, and the walls that separate these zones have openings that allow views through to the front of the studio and the courtyard beyond．

    　　Yocum and Bell, who have just completed an art gallery for the city, feel that the experience from deoration of their building, focusing on the inside rather than the outside, has influenced their work．It has also given these architects a chance to show how they can make more out of less．

    (1)

    [　　]

    A．

    easy

    B．

    C．

    presented a slow–motion show in an art gallery

    D．
