Bmetaphor
Cmetonymy
Dpersonification
正确答案： D解析：
词义题。metonymy（换喻或转喻）是一种一个词或词组被另一个与之有紧密联系的词或词组替换的修辞手法，本体与喻词均不出现，直接用喻体来代替本体。simile明喻，直喻。metaphor隐喻，暗喻。personification拟人（法）；人格化。因此“political and financial muscle”应是换喻，实际上指的是“政治和经济力量”。故选C。 -

B“dog” can’t be used to refer to people

Dsometimes the words used by a speaker give a clue to the feeling behind the words
正确答案： A解析：
文中提到“But bringing in the ‘dog’ he put you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck”，即用dog这个词是把你放低了，他说的可能使你不配这种运气。D项“有时候说话者用的词暗示了话语之后的真正意思”，很好的阐述了这一点，D项正确。 -

Bread the letters written by Beethoven
Clearn to appreciate Beethoven’s music
Dfeel the same as if you were Beethoven
正确答案： A解析：
语义题。引用部分出现在第二段第三句，该部分之前的内容提到“如果你读到贝多芬的乐符，你会感觉到你正处在暴风雨、旋风、熔炉的中心”。由此可知“so you should”指的是“你应该有和贝多芬一样的感觉”。因此选项D符合语境。 -

Blearning foreign languages.
Cunderstanding dialect or style.

正确答案： A解析：
题干中已经明确指出答案出自第一段，因此根据题干关键词They don’t talk the same language可定位到最后一句“‘They don’t talk the same language’ has a major metaphorical meaning alongside its literal one”, 可知本题考查的应该是这句话的隐喻意思，因此应该在第一段中进行概括总结，这时会发现倒数第二句“‘Common language’ here usually means a foreign language, but the same point applies in principle to any encounter with unfamiliar dialects or styles within a single language”，意思是“共同语言指的是一门外语，但是说同一语言下的不熟悉的方言或文体内也会有类似的问题”，由此可知，这里They don’t talk the same language应该理解为在方言和文体上存在的问题。该句先是说通常情况下，所以该题选C。 -
