5. From the story Balzac told we know that the wife’s lover must have become _______.
A. a corpse B. a phrase C. a skeleton D. a secret
【答案解析】
“skeleton in the closet” 之义。
1. D。推断题。根据 When a man has done something in his life that he is ashamed of, that he wants to hide, he is said to have a “skeleton in his closet” 可知 “skeleton in the closet” 的意思是一个人想隐藏自己感到羞愧的事,由此可推知犯了罪或做了傻事而又不想让别人知道的符合 “skeleton in the closet”,故选 D。
2. B。细节题。阅读全文得知本文用了两个故事来解释这个短语,一是英国医生用死尸来进行医学研究;二是法国作家 Balzac 讲述的是丈夫将妻子的情人封死在墙里,由此可知B为正确答案。
3. D。词义猜测题。从该词的源处得知它与死尸有关,再从倒数第三段 It is his guess that a hidden closet in some old English country home may have turned up a real skeleton可推测其义为 D。
4. A。细节题。根据全文可知B、C、D是错误的,再从 It became very important in his work可知 A 为正确答案。
5. C。推断题。根据最后一段The husband then begins to build a solid brick wall against the closet. His wife watches, knowing that her lover will never… 得知她的情人将死在墙里,自然成为骷髅了。故选C。
