This happened in London It was November and the weather was very wet and cold. A Frenchman had caught a very bad cold. He coughed day and night, so he decided to go and get some medicine for his cough. As he did not know much English, he took out his dictionary and looked up the word "cough". But the dictionary did not tell him how to pronounce(发音) the word. He thought it over and remembered that he had learned the word "plough". He remembered that it was pronounced[plav]. So he thought that c-o-u-g-h must be pronounced [kav].
Then he put on his coat and hat and went to a chemist"s shop(药店).When the man in the shop asked him what he wanted, the Frenchman said, "I want something for my "COW" , please." The man in the shop looked at him. Had he heard him correctly?
"I beg your pardon, sir?" he asked.
The Frenchman repeated, "I want some medicine for my "COW"."
"For your cow?" asked the man, "are you a farmer?"
"A farmer?" said the Frenchman in surprise, "What makes you think I"m a farmer? I come from Paris. I"m not a farmer. "
"But where is your cow?"
"It"s here!" answered the Frenchman. He put his hand on his chest(胸口) and began to cough. "Here it is, " he said, "I"ve a very bad "cow" here."
Then the man in the shop understood what the Frenchman meant. He wanted some
medicine for his cough.

A.cowB.cough
C.medicineD.cold

答案

小题1:B
小题2:B
小题3:B
解析

试题分析:本文讲述一个法国人得了重感冒去药店买药,但是他不知道“咳嗽”这个词怎么发音。于是他根据别的词猜测cough发音同cow,之后来到药店闹了一个笑话。
小题1:词义猜测题。根据第一段最后一句话So he thought that c-o-u-g-h must be pronounced [kav].“所以他认为咳嗽cough的发音应该同奶牛cow的发音。”因此本文中cow意思是cough,故选B。
小题2:细节理解题。根据文章第四段I want some medicine for my "COW".“我想要为我的牛买一些药。”他将cough发音成cow,因此药店的人认为这个法国人是一个农民,故选B。
小题3:细节理解题。这个法国人到药店将cough发音成cow,因此药店老板没有明白他的意思。后来法国人做了咳嗽的动作,药店老板才明白他的意思。因此本题选择B,起初药店老板没有明白法国人的意思。
