单选题 Which of the following statements is true according to what you have heard?

A、 I will eat lunch very quickly.
B、 I will have lunch before the meeting.
C、 I will eat lunch at the meeting.
D、 I will eat lunch while jogging.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】固定搭配。根据原文“Since I have a meeting around noon，I will eat my lunch on the run．”关键在于理解固定搭配on the run。On the run：hurrying busily from place to place，意指匆忙地，所以a选项“I will eat lunch very quickly。”是对原文的正确解释。而d选项则为干扰项，把on the run理解为running的意思，并用同义词jogging来代替了running，具有迷惑性。

B、 Actually the paper was long enough to cover it.

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】比较结构。根据原文“The research paper was very brief, but still it was better than I expected.”，译文为：这篇论文很简短，但仍然比我预想的好。此题关键在于理解brief的词义和转折连词but之后的比较级结构。brief的意思是：简洁的，简短的。a选项“The paper came out as short as I expected．”，这篇论文写出后和我预想的一样短。b选项“Actually the paper was long enough to cover it．”，实际上这篇论文足够长，能涵盖所有要点。C选项“The paper was short enough to present．”，这篇论文很短，足够做报告。d选项“The paper turned out better than I had expected．”，这篇论文结果比我预想的要好。
