问题 By saying "the letter ’b’ is silent in pronunciation", the author wants to indicate that ______
The word "putdown" (Line 1, Paragraph 3) most probably means ______
选项 A、a pun which can be interpreted in both positive and negative ways.
B、a tone-twisting joke which intends to make the hearer puzzled.
C、a response by understanding something deliberately in another way.
D、an indirect way of saying something to make someone humiliated.
答案D
解析 为语意理解题。"putdown"原意为"something you say that is intended to make someone feel stupid or unimportant"。因此D为正确答案。文中第一个例子可以说明A，C正确，但马克.吐温的名言不能证明A和C是对的，结合所举的两例可以推断出"putdown"明显带有嘲讽之意。
