Question

【題目】閱讀理解。

Very often, new-born babies are not beautiful. They are wrinkled(多皺的)or hairless, or they have an angry look on their faces. They seem to say, “Get away! I hate everybody.” But to a parent, that hairless, wrinkled, angry-faced baby is the most beautiful and perfect child in the world. When that proud father or mother asks you, “Well, what do you think of my baby? Isn’t she beautiful?” what are you going to say? Is the time for the true? Of course not!

You look that proud father in the eye and say, “Yes, she is! She’s really a beauty. She’s one in a million. She’s going to be a movie star! I can tell! She’s as beautiful as a picture.”

In English, this is a white lie. White lies don’t hurt people. They are not cruel(殘忍的)or angry words. People use them to make a difficult thing a little easier. When people don’t want to meet someone, or eat something new that they really don’t like at a friend’s house, they tell a white lie. They are trying to be kind. They don’t want to hurt someone. It’s important to be honest, but many people feel that being kind is sometimes more important.

試題分析：短文敘述了剛出生的孩子臉上有褶皺，朋友看到這些小孩的時候，卻說一些漂亮的話。短文給出了善意的謊言不會傷害別人，反而是用來安慰別人的話。

【1】D推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文可知，父母看到孩子的出生時都會感到十分自豪，他們當(dāng)然希望你說好聽的話，故選D。

【2】A詞義猜測題。white lie善意的謊言。根據(jù)短文可知，white lie不會傷害別人，反而是用來安慰別人的話。所以white是善意的意思，故選A。

【3】D推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中信息描述可知說善意謊言的人心地是善良的，故選D。

【4】C推理判斷題。善意的謊言是為了安慰別人而說的謊話，所以C是正確的，C選項中盡管朋友的第一幅畫并不好看，但是為了鼓舞朋友，我們說了善意的謊言。
