- 试题详情及答案解析
- Very often, new-born babies aren’t beautiful. They’re wrinkled (皱褶), or they have an angry look on their faces. They seem to say, “Get away！I hate everybody.” But to a parent, that wrinkled, angry-faced baby is the most beautiful and perfect child in the world. When a proud (自豪的) parent asks you, “Well, what do you think…? Isn’t she beautiful?” What are you going to say? Is this the time for the truth (真相)? Of course not!
You look at that proud parent in the eye and say, “Yes, she is! She is really a beauty. She’s going to be a movie star! I can tell!”
In English this isa white lie. White lies don’t hurt (伤害) people. They aren’t angry words. People use them to make a difficult thing a little easier. When people don’t want to meet someone, or they eat something new that they really don’t like at a friend’s house, they’ll tell a white lie. They are trying to be kind. They don’t want to hurt anyone. It’s important to be honest, but being kind is sometimes more important.

【小题5】Because white lies don’t hurt people./ People use them to make a difficult thing a little easier. / They are trying to be kind. / They don’t want to hurt anyone. - 试题分析：短文叙述了刚出生的孩子脸上有褶皱，朋友看到这些小孩的时候，却说一些漂亮的话。短文给出了善意的谎言不会伤害别人，反而是用来安慰别人的话。
【小题1】根据短文可知，父母看到孩子的出生时都会感到十分自豪。Proud，自豪的。
【小题2】white lie善意的谎言。根据短文可知，white lie不会伤害别人，反而是用来安慰别人的话。
【小题3】善意的谎言是为了安慰别人而说的谎话，所以C是正确的，C选项中尽管朋友的第一幅画并不好看，但是为了鼓舞朋友，我们说了善意的谎言。
【小题4】sometimes it’s more important to be kind. 在此句中，to be kind做真正的主语。结合最后一段，可知诚实固然重要，但是有时善良会更加重要。所以需要填being kind is sometimes more important。
【小题5】这个问题的答案不一。总体而言是在说善良的谎言不会伤害到别人。
