M: (12) You know, Ben’s given up making those terrible faces he used to make. The other day, he came home from school almost in tears. His teacher said if he went on like that, his face would get stuck when the winds changed.
W: And he believed her?
M: Yeah, he’s only a little boy. Don’t you remember all those things we used to believe when we were little? (13) I remember my aunt Mary used to say if you swallow a cherry stone, a tree will grow out of your mouth. And I’m still terrified today, sort of subconsciously. You know, if I swallow one by mistake...
W: Yeah, I suppose you’re right. (14) The one that used to get me was that swans could break your leg when they blow off the wing.
M: They can, can’t they? I always thought they could.
W: No, they are not that strong. But there’s another one even more terrifying. That is, if you put a post stamp on upside down, you’ll go to prison.
M: No, never heard of that. But my grandmother was a terror for that kind of thing. For example, she would say, you will get a spot on your tongue if you tell a lie. If you eat stale bread, your hair will curl. And here’s one more. (15) We went on a camping trip once in Italy, and my wife spent the whole time worrying about bats getting into her hair. She said her grandmother reckoned you had to shave your head to get it out. My wife was really terrified.
W: Silly, isn’t it? But that’s how some parents try to keep their kids from doing the wrong thing or getting into trouble.
Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
12. What does the man say about Ben?
13. What did aunt Mary used to do when the man was a child?
14. What does the woman believe swans could do?
15. What did the grandmother of the man’s wife say?
选项
A、They could break people’s legs.
B、They could sometimes terrify adults.
C、They could fly against a strong wind.
D、They could knock people unconscious.
答案
A
解析
浏览四个选项,从选项中的could以及动词break,terrify,fly against,knock等词可推测,此题与某种虚拟假设造成的后果有关。题干问的是女士认为天鹅会做什么。对话中女士说让她小时候害怕的故事是当天鹅张开翅膀时,它们可以将人的腿折断,故答案为A。B项(它们有时会让成年人感到害怕),对活中提到的是这个故事让小孩感到害怕,故排除。C项(它们可以在强风中逆风飞翔),D项(它们可以把人打晕)文中均未提及,故排除。
