短文:A bag is useful and the word “bag” is useful, too. It reminds us of an interesting phrase(短语), i.e. “to let the cat out of the bag”. In meaning it is the same as “to tell the secret”. And there is an old interesting story about it.
  Long ago, when farmers wanted to sell chickens at the market, most of the time they would just throw the chickens in cloth bags. But cats were cheaper than chickens, so many farmers would put cats into the cloth bags instead of chickens. One day, a woman asked a man for a chicken. The man gave her a cloth bag in which there was a cat. The woman begged to see the chicken. When the man opened the cloth bag, a big black cat ran out. Not a chicken! The man’s secret was out and everyone knew it.
  Now when someone lets out(泄漏) a secret, he “lets the cat out of the bag”. And that is the story where the interesting phrase comes from. 问题: 4. In “... everyone knew it” at the end of the second paragraph(段落), “it” refers to “___A_____”. A. there was a chicken in the man’s bag B. there was a cat in the cloth bag C. the cloth bag D. the man’s cat 5. John “lets the cat out of the bag” means that he _____C_______. A. makes everyone know a secret B. puts the cats away from the bag C. buys a cat in the bag D. sells the cat in the bag
解题思路: 如下
解题过程:
4、B “每个人知道了它”中的“它”指的是“有只猫在布袋子里”。因为那个时候“猫比鸡便宜,所以人们都是把猫放在布袋子里充当鸡卖。”根据“But cats were cheaper than chickens, so many farmers would put cats into the cloth bags instead of chickens。”这句可知。
5、A 约翰“让猫从袋子里出来”指的是他让大家知道了“把猫当鸡卖的秘密。”
最终答案:略
