I really _______ when I asked him how his wife was—they got divorced last year!

landed on his feet

got off the wrong foot

found my feet

put my foot in it

参考答案和解析

正确答案： D

解析：
我真的失言了，我问他“你的妻子好吗”？这真的令他很难堪，因为他们去年就离婚了。put one’s foot in失言，得说错话，令人难堪。land on one's feet安然脱险。get off the wrong foot开始做某事时就错了。find one's feet能够站稳，能够走稳。

第2题：

My husband Christopher was once a financial planner. Even though he couldn't balance our budget，his clients trusted him completely and he made them feel secure. In exchange they paid him very well. We had a nice life then. At that time，my yoga studio(瑜伽馆)was just starting to make a profit，and I had recently decorated it. At last，I was in control of my working life and poured my heart and soul into making it succeed.

When we first met，I fell hard for Christopher right away. although I wouldn't call it love. I'd never been with a man who was prettier than I was，but after a while I got used to this. and it didn't bother me so much. I was recovering from a broken heart and needed something to help me move on. If it wasn't love，it was good enough，and when he asked me to marry him I jumped at the chance. knowing that it might be my last.

Things started out so well. I was working steadily and Christopher was patiently climbing up the ladder in his department. Then，without any warning，one gray winter afternoon in year five，he just upped and left his desk at the bank，handed in his resignation，and came home and told me he wanted to start an interior design business.

He has always loved mixing and matching，and has a real eye for color，texture，and shape，but the idea of turning a hobby into a business wasn't something we had ever discussed. I thought the stress of his job was becoming too much and perhaps he would take a few months off over the spring and summer to relax and get the idea out of his system. I didn't believe he could be serious. But once he had a few clients，he began to draw up plans，ordering catalogues and turning our empty workshop into a kind of makeshift studio with all of his sketches pinned to the wall. After spending a lot of time and money on all of this preparation，and really doing quite a nice job of it,he called each client in turn and apologized，saying he wouldn't be able to design their living spaces after all.

As a financial planner，Christopher______.

A．paid his clients very well

B．was trusted by his clients

C．was making his yoga studio profitable

D．could make his family's budget balanced

正确答案：B
解析：细节理解题。由文章第一段的第二句话可知，Christopher的客户充分相信他。

His Own Way to Express Love
Yesterday was our three-year anniversary.We didn't do anything romantic;we just walked hand in hand and talked about our past and the future.This was pretty much what I had expected.
Andy is an unromantic guy : no sweet words or roses.Smart as he is,he is a little bit shy expressing his love. In contrast , I am an outspoken（直言不讳）girl who likes to show her feelings directly .So needless to say,I often feel that he is insensitive.I envy other girls who are surrounded by sweet words.
I was in this sullen mood until I heard a beautiful sentence one day:“If one does not love you in the way you like,it does not mean that he does not love you.”This simple but sensible sentence made me think about our happy days and recall his deep concern for me.
One cold winter night,I got a high fever. He hurried to my dormitory and took me to the hospital.He was in such a hurry that he even forgot to wear socks.After arrival,he ran through the hospital handling all the formalities（手续）.When I was put on a drip（点滴）,he told me interesting stories to make me happy. Being held in his warm arms and listening to his tender（温柔的）voice,I had never felt so safe and comfortable.Gradually,I fell asleep.When I woke up 15 minutes later , he was still mumbling（咕浓地说）to me. He explained that if he had stopped talking I would have woken up.At that moment,I found love in his eyes.
Another time,I had a bad quarrel with my best friend.Although I knew it was my fault,I refused to admit it.I was angry when he insisted I apologize to her. He said that it was difficult to admit a mistake,but this was what everyone should do. The next morning,I apologized to my friend and asked for her forgiveness.
My unromantic boyfriend cares about my health like my father,understands me like my mother and helps me like my elder brother.

The writer tells the reader two stories to show that______.
A: Andy is a romantic guy
B: Andy has his own way to express love
C: Andy is an insensitive guy
D: Andy is a foolish guy

答案：B

解析：

本题问的是“谁是Andy?”文章题目以及文章的字里行间都非常清楚地说明了选项D是“作者的男朋友”符合题意。
本题问的是“作者和Andy何时相爱？”文章第一句说“Yesterday was our three-year anniversary”，说明他们已经相爱了三年。
本题问的是“关于作者以下哪项正确？”文章第二段提到“In contrast , I am an out spoken girl who likes to show her feelings directly”，说明作者喜欢直接地表达她的情感。
本题是说“作者给读者讲述了两个故事以表明……”。选项B“Andy有自己表达爱的方式”与文章主题一致，即Andy自己表达爱的方式，文章中例子的作用是用来支持和论证文章主题，因此反映文章主题的选项B就是答案。
本题问的是“第三段的sullen可被哪个词替换？”sullen意为“阴沉的、沮丧的”。根据上下文我们可判断bad为正确答案。

Too Late to Regret It
When I was a junior,I met a second-year student in my department. He wasn't tall or good-looking,but he was very nice,attractive and athletic.He had something that I admired very much .He was natural,warm,and sincere.

He wasn't a local , but wanted to stay here after graduation. I thought we had a future together.
However,when I got a part-time job during the summer vacation,people began giving me a lot of pressure,saying that a pretty,intelligent girl like me should find a better guy to spend time with .This was also what my family thought.He spent the summer in his hometown,so I was all by myself. When he got back,I began finding faults with him.But his big heart and warmth soon drove all unpleasant thoughts away .However,I had no idea how badly I had hurt him and that things would get worse.
I had a good part-time job off campus that paid pretty well.With my good performance at school,I also got admission to graduate school at one of China's best universities.He,on the oth- er hand,did not do so well at school or at work .I had to worry about his living expenses,job and scores。
Almost all my colleagues and friends advised me to break up with him.Then we had a quarrel last June .He was in great pain,and my cold words and bad moods started turning him away.
Graduation time was drawing near. He said that he couldn't put up with me anymore,and he said he wanted to go back to his hometown.I was shocked and looked at him in despair. True love happens only once,but I found it out too late.

本题问“当得知他将离开她时，她……”。文章最后一段提到“我感到吃惊，我意识到真正的爱只发生一次，但我发现的已经太晚。”由此可见，作者汁这件事情的感觉是痛苦的。因此选项D“非常痛苦”符合题意。
