“Cool”is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.
  “Cool”can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.
  When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool.”You may think, “He’s so cool,”when you see your favourite footballer.
  We all maximize(扩大)the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new”or“surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool. ” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.
  But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏)of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can . And I think they are also very cool .
  (  ) 10. In the passage, the writer suggests(暗示) that the word“cool”__________
  A. can be used instead of many words     B. usually means something interesting
  C. can make your life colourful       D. may not be as cool as it seems

----答案为D,希望各位帮我分析以下,这题为什么选D.

解答:

从最后一段"But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏)of words."看出作者并不赞成cool的过于广泛的使用.如果它代替其他一些词,势必会造成用词缺乏.所以不能是A.

B表达的意思太狭隘.瀑布有趣味吗?没有吧.它只是气势恢弘而已.但是它还是被cool修饰了.

C说的内容确实是事实.但题干中要求的是"暗示".就是原文中没有的要自己推断出来的意思."Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? "这句话是直白地表达了C的意思,就不是暗示了呀.

所以只有D了.因为作者不支持只用cool来垄断我们的口语.

这题真经典呀.我上初中的时候就做过两遍.
