talk with our mouths full，and we did.CMr.Clark was selected as Disneys 2000 Teacher of the Year in Los Angeles.DIn 2003，Mr.Clark moved to Atlanta，and he always kept in touch with us.答案B解析细节理解题。由第二段最后两句可知，B项正确。其中A项错在in Harlem；C项错在in Los Angeles；D项错在In 2003。BA young couple decided to get married.As the big day drew nearer and nearer，they both grew nervous because each of them had a problem.The bridegroom decided to ask his father for advice.“Dad，” he said，“I love Lily very much，but I have very smelly feet，so Im afraid that she will not put up with them.” His father said，“All you have to do is wash your feet as often as possible，and you should always wear socks，even when you go to bed.” Well，it seemed a workable solution，the young man thought.The young woman turned to her mother.“Mom，” she said，“My morning breath is so bad that Im afraid my new husband will not want to live in the same room with me.I love him.I cant live without him.” Her mother said，“In the morning，get straight out of bed when you wake up，and head for the bathroom and brush your teeth.Dont say any word before you brush your teeth.” The young woman followed her mothers advice.They were finally married in a wonderful ceremony(仪式)Not forgetting the advice each had received，they carefully spent every day.The husband wore his socks every night and the wife kept her mornings silent；they did quite well until about a month later.Just before dawn(黎明)，the husband woke only to find that one of his socks was gone！Thinking of the terrible result，he felt frightened at once.He jumped up and began to search the bed for his sock in a hurry.Of course，this made the wife woken.Without thinking，the wife asked，“What on earth are you doing？”The husband stopped in surprise，and then he cried，“Oh，no！You must have swallowed(吞) my sock！”5What troubled the young man before he got married?AHis feet had an unpleasant smell.BHe was unprepared for the big day.CHe was too poor to marry the girl.DHis habit was too bad to be known.答案A解析细节理解题。根据第一段第三句中的“.I have very smelly feet，so Im afraid that she will not put up with them.”可知答案为A项。6The underlined word “bridegroom” in the first paragraph means “ ”Aa man who has a few big troublesBa man who hates to wash his feetCa man who believes his familiesDa man who will get married soon答案D解析词义猜测题。根据文章第一段内容可知，bridegroom一词指的是这对情侣中的男士，而他们马上就要结婚了，故文中bridegroom一词指的是“即将结婚的男子”。7Why did the husband feel frightened?ABecause he forgot to wear the socks.BBecause one of his socks was missing.CBecause his wife might find the truth.DBecause it would disappoint his father.答案C解析细节理解题。根据第三段第五句“Thinking of the terrible result，he felt frightened at once.”可知丈夫之所以害怕并不是因为袜子不见了，而是因为不穿袜子的后果将会很严重；如果不穿袜子，妻子就会知道他脚臭的实情。故答案为C项。8The husband said the last sentence of the passage because .Ahis wife was very hungry in the morningBhis wife often dreamed of eating thingsChe wanted to have his wife buy new socksDhe found his wifes breath very smelly答案D解析推理判断题。因为婚后妻子早上刷牙之前从不说话，所以丈夫只知道自己脚臭，并不知道妻子早上口气难闻，偏偏他袜子不见了，这天早上妻子开口说话了，于是他闻到了很难闻的气味，所以他才会认为妻子把他的袜子吃了，否则口气不会如此难闻。.完形填空A few weeks ago I was at the corner shop，and there stood an old lady in
