三、阅读理解
18. “Mum,what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton(骷髅)in the closet(衣橱)?”Jessica asked.“A skeleton in the closet?”her mother paused thoughtfully.“Well,it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about.For example,if in the past,someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a hor se,it would be‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’.He really wouldn’t want any neighbour to know about it.”
“Why pick on my family?”Jessica’s father said with anger.“Your family history isn’t so good,you know.Wasn’t your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?”“Yes,but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.”“Gosh,sorry I asked.I think I understand now,”Jessica cut in before things grew worse.
After dinne r,the house was very quiet.Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other.Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband,who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read.When she finished,she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet.Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt,a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor.Jessica’s mother sank into a faint(晕倒),waking only when Jessica put a cold,wet cloth on her forehead.She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.
“What happened?Where am I?”she asked.“You just destroyed the school’s skeleton,Mum,”explained Jessica.“I brought it home to help me with m y health project.I meant to tell you,but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets,it caused a problem between you and Dad.”Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly.“They’re both crazy.”she thought.
21.According to Jessica’s mother,“a skeleton in the closet”means .
A.a family honour

参考答案：
B A B C
21.词义猜测题。

根据第一段“Well,it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about.”可知,“a skeleton in the closet(衣橱里的骷髅)”意为“家里不可告人的秘密”,所以答案为B项。

22.细节理解题。

根据第二段父母之间的争吵可知,澳大利亚人的祖先很多都是因为当初犯罪而被流放到这里的,所以A项正确。

23.推理判断题。

母亲没有想到他们三个人谈论的“衣橱里的骷髅”会真的出现在衣橱里,所以她应该是受到惊吓而昏厥,而不是由于被击中、受伤或惊讶造成的。

24.细节理解题。

根据文章最后一段“I brought it home to help me with my health project.”可知,杰西卡把学校的骷髅带回家是为了帮助自己完成学校的作业或任务,并不是因为好奇、好玩或故意吓唬父母,所以答案为C项。
