         Two similar-sounding English words caused trouble for a man who wanted to fly from Los Angeles to Oakland. California. His problems began at the airport in Los Angeles. He thought he heard his flight
    announced, so he walked to the gate, showed his ticket, and got on the plane. After flying for twenty
    minutes, the man began to worry. Oakland was north of Los Angeles, but the plane seemed to be heading west and when he looked out his window all he could see was ocean. "Is this plane going to Oakland?"
    he asked the flight attendant (服务员). The flight attendant was shocked. "No," she said. "We're going to Auckland -- Auckland, New Zealand."
         English is not the only language with similar-sounding words. Other languages, too, have words that
    can cause mistakes, especially for foreigners.
         Auckland and Oakland. When similar-sounding words cause a mistake, probably the best thing to do
    is just laugh and learn from it. Of course, sometimes it's hard to laugh. The man who traveled to Auckland
    instead of Oakland didn't feel like laughing. But even that mistake turned out all right in the end. The airline (航空公司) paid for the man's hotel room and meals in New Zealand and for his flight back to California. "Oh well," the man later said, "I always wanted to see New Zealand."
    1. The main topic of this passage is ______.
    A. mistakes made by people in airports
    B. troubles experienced by foreigners in a new country
    C. difficulties had by people when taking a plane
    D. problems caused by words that sound alike
    2. The man realized something was wrong when ______.
    A. he landed in Oakland, California  
    B. he saw that the flight attendant was shocked
    C. he noticed the direction of the plane  
    D. he walked up to the gate
    3. The sentence " Oh well, I always wanted to see New Zealand." reflects ______.
    A. the man's sense of humor      
    B. the man's frustration
    C. the man's disappointment          
    D. the man's despair
    4. According to the passage one proper way to deal with a mistake caused by similar-sounding words
    is ______
    A. to have a sharp ear              
    B. to learn a good pronunciation
    C. to speak clearly and slowly      
    D. to laugh and learn from it
    1-4: D C A D

    A metaphor is a poetic device that deals with comparison. It compares similar qualities of two dissimilar objects. With a simple metaphor, one object becomes the other: Love is a rose. Although this does not sound like a particularly rich image, a metaphor can communicate so much about a particular image that poets use them more than any other type of figurative language(修辞). The reason for this is that poets compose their poetry to express what they are experiencing emotionally at that moment. Consequently, what the poet imagines love to be may or may not be love we see it. Therefore, the poet’s job is to enable us to experience it, to feel it the same way as the poet does.

    Let’s analyze this remarkably unsophisticated metaphor concerning love and the rose to see what it offers. Because the poet uses a comparison with a rose, first we must examine the characteristics of that flower. A rose is spectacular in its beauty; its petals(花瓣) are nicely soft, and its smell is pleasing. It’s possible to say that a rose is actually a feast to the senses of sight, touch, and smell. The rose’s appearance seems to border on(近似于)perfection, each petal seemingly symmetrical(对称的) in form. Isn’t this the way one’s love should be? A loved one should be a delight to one’s senses and seem perfect. However, there is another dimension added to the comparison by using a rose. Roses have thorns(刺). The poet wants to convey the idea that roses can be tricky(机警的). So can love, the metaphor tells us. When one reaches out with absolute trust to touch the object of his or her affection, ouch, a thorn can cause great harm! “Be careful,” the metaphor warns: Love is a feast to the senses, but it can overwhelm us, and it can also hurt us and cause acute suffering. This is the poet’s perception of love--a warning. What is the point? Just this: It took almost 14 sentences to clarify what a simple metaphor communicates in only four words! That is the artistry and the joy of the simple metaphor.

    According to the passage, what is a metaphor?

    A. A comparison between two different objects with similar features.

    B. A contrast between two different things to create a vivid image.

    C. A description of two similar objects in a poetic way.

    D. A literary device specially employed in poetry writing.

    The main idea of this passage is that         .

    A. rose is a good image in poetry    B. love is sweet and pleasing

    C. metaphor is ambiguous          D. metaphor is great poetic device

    It can be inferred from the passage that a metaphor is        .

    A. difficult to understand        B. rich in meaning    C. not precise enough      D. like a flower

    As is meant by the author, thorns of a rose_________.

    A. protect the rose from harm              B. symbolize reduced love

    C. add a new element to the image of love    D. represent objects of one’s affection

    The meaning of the love-is–a-rose metaphor is that____________-

    A. love is a true joy              B. true love comes once in a lifetime

    C. love does not last long          D. love is both good and bad experiences
