论文部分内容阅读
一个简单而美丽的故事,读完后是否会让你有一些莫名的感动,是否能触动你内心某些柔软的东西?爱,有时可能就是源自于一个充满善意的谎言。
(1) He met her at a party. She was so outstanding, with many boys around her, while he was so normal, with nobody paying attention to him.
(2) At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him. She was surprised, but due to being polite, she agreed.
(3) They sat in a nice coffee shop. He was too nervous to say anything, and she felt uncomfortable, thinking, “Please let me go home.”
(4) Suddenly he asked the waiter, “Would you please give me some salt? I’d like to put it in my coffee.”
(5) Everybody stared at him—so strange! His face turned red, but, still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it.
(6) She asked him curiously, “Why do you have this hobby?”
(7) 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 so much. I miss my parents who are still living there.”
(8) While saying that, tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched. That’s his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, and has responsibility of home.
(9) Then she also started to speak, about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story.
(10) They continued to date (约会). She found that actually he was a man who meets all her demands; he was kind-hearted, warm and careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him!
(11) Thanks to his salty coffee! Then the story was just like every beautiful love story, the princess married the prince, then they were living a happy life... And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee.
(12) 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 said to you—the salty coffee.”
(13) “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.
(14) 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.
(15) 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 for my whole life!
(16) Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for a second time, I still want to know you and have you for my whole life, even though I have to drink the salty coffee again.”
(17) Her tears made the letter totally wet.
(18) Someday, someone asked her, “What’s the taste of salty coffee?” “It’s sweet,” she replied.

答案及解析
1. C。根据文章第五段的描述:Everybody stared at him—so strange!His face turned red, but, still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it. 可以知道,由于紧张the young man误点了盐,从他脸红的细节可以看出,他当时应该是比较尴尬。
2. C。根据文中第14段的描述: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. 可以知道他之所以没有说出这个谎言是为了遵守自己再也不撒谎的诺言。
3. A。此处的miss意思为“错过”,从文中我们可以知道,起初女孩对男孩并没有好感,之所以接受男孩的邀请完全是出于礼貌,通过交往才发现男孩的种种优点, 因此she almost missed him的暗含意义是:她第一次约会是本想要离开的。
4. B。根据第17段Her tears made the letter totally wet,文中的那位妻子显然被丈夫善意的谎言感动了。
语法指津
1. She was so outstanding, with many boys around her, while he was so normal, with nobody paying attention to him.
句中while一词表示“对比性转折”,解释为“然而,但是”,例如:
English is understood all over the world while Turkish is spoken by only a few people outside Turkey itself.
英语世界通行,但土耳其语离开本国就很少有人说了。
I drink black coffee while he prefers it with cream.
我爱喝清咖啡而他喜欢加牛奶的。
此外,while还可以用在句首引导让步状语从句,表示“虽然,尽管”,如:
While I admit that there are problems, I don’t agree that they cannot be solved.
尽管我承认有问题,但我不同意这些问题是无法解决的。
While I like the color of the hat, I do not like its shape.
尽管我喜欢那个帽子的颜色,但是我不喜欢它的样式。
典题例析

2. ...she felt uncomfortable, thinking, “Please let me go home.”
本句中的thinking为现在分词作状语,判断使用何种分词作状语主要取决于分词与其逻辑主语的关系,若为主动关系则用现在分词,若为被动关系则用过去分词,例如:
Watching TV in the room,I heard someone knocking at the door.(分词watching TV in the room的逻辑主语是I,I与watch是主动关系)
正在房间里看电视,我听见有人敲门。
Founded in 1636, Harvard is one of the most famous universities in the United States.
成立于1636年,哈佛大学是美国最著名的大学之一。
注意:
分词作状语时要注意其完成形式,分词的完成时表示动作有先后顺序,即分词的动作先于主句的谓语动词发生,例如:
The storm left, having caused a lot of damage to this area.(05全国I)(the storm与cause是主动关系,但动作先于主句的谓语发生,故用现在分词的完成式)
已经对这个地区造成了巨大的损失,暴风雨退去了。
Having written the letter, he went out to post it.
写完了信后他出去寄信了。
Having been told many times, he still repeated the same mistake.
已经被告知过很多次了,他还是犯同样的错误。
典题例析
(1) to reach them on the phone, we sent an email instead. (08重庆卷)
A. Fail B. Failed C. To fail D. Having failed
答案:D。
分析:本题中分词的动作与主句的谓语动词存在先后顺序,应是先发生没打通电话的事情,然后才发的邮件,此外根据fail这一动作与主句的主语we为主动关系,因此使用现在分词的完成式。
(2)The glass doors have taken the place of the wooden ones at the entrance,
in the natural light during the day. (07天津卷)
A. to let B. letting C. let D. having let
答案:B。
分析:玻璃门取代出口处的木门,这一情况使得自然光能在白天进入。含义上存在主动关系,因此使用现在分词,此处等于which lets,which指代前面的整个句子。
(3)_____ for the breakdown of the school computer network, Alice was in low spirits. (06福建卷)
A. Blaming B. Blamed C. To blame D. To be blamed
答案:B。
分析:主句的主语Alice与blame的关系为被动关系,Alice因为校园网的瘫痪而被谴责,因此,此处应使用过去分词作状语表示被动关系。to be blamed表示“将要被谴责”,不合题意。
