People have been fond of roses since the beginning of time. In fact, it is said that the wise and knowing Confucius had a 600-book library specifically on how to care for roses.
The rose is a legend on its own. The story goes that during the Roman Empire, there was a beautiful girl named Rhodanthe. Her beauty drew many suitors(求婚者). Exhausted by their pursuit(追求), Rhodanthe was forced to hide in the temple of her friend Diana to stay away from her suitors. Unfortunately, Diana became jealous(嫉妒的). And when the suitors broke down her temple gates to get near their beloved Rhodanthe, she became angry, turning Rhodanthe into a rose and her suitors into thorns(刺).
In Greek legend, the rose was created by Chloris, the Greek goddess of flowers. It was just a lifeless seed that Chloris found one day in a clearing in the woods. She asked Aphrodite, the goddess of love, to give her beauty, Dionysus, the god of wine, to give her a sweet scent(气味), and the three Graces to give her charm, brightness and joy. Then Zephyr, the West Wind, blew away the clouds so that Apollo, the sun god, could shine and make this flower blossom. And so the rose was born and was immediately called the Queen of Flowers.
The first true primary red rose seen in Europe was introduced in 1792 from China, where it had been growing wild in the mountains. Immediately, rose breeders began using it to make a hybrid(杂交品种). Absolute perfection still hasn’t been gained, and of course never will!
There is a special rose language invented as a secret means of communication between lovers who were not allowed to express their love for one another openly. In the mid- 18th century the wife of the British ambassador in Constantinople described
this
in her letters, which were published after her death. These letters inspired many books on the language of flowers, each describing the secret message hidden in each flower. A red rose bud(花蕾)stands for secret affection, an open white rose asks "Will you love me?", an open red rose means "I’m full of love and desire", while an open yellow rose asks "Don’t you love me anymore?"
We can learn from Para. 2 that ______.
选项
A、Rhodanthe was quite clever
B、Rhodanthe didn’t expect Diana’s jealousy
C、many of Rhodanthe’ s suitors were shy
D、Rhodanthe felt proud to have so many suitors
答案
B
解析
本题为推理判断题,提问的是根据第二段,我们可获知什么。由第二段可知,Diana是Rho—danthe的朋友,她是看到Rhodanthe有那么多追求者才一时起了嫉妒之心。由此可以推断,Rhodanthe没有预料到Diana会嫉妒自己。所以答案为B)。
