There are stories about two U.S. presidents Andre
There are stories about two U.S. presidents, Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, which attempt to explain the American English term OK. We don’t know if either story is true, but they are both interesting. The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact, he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson, he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper, he would write “all correct” on it. The problem was that he didn’t know how spell, so what he really wrote was “ol korekt”. After a while, he shortened that term to “OK”. The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born, Kinderhook, New York. Van Buren’s friends organized a club to help him become President. They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club, and anyone who supported Van Buren was called “OK”. The author_______________. A. believes both of the stories
B. doesn’t believe a word of the stories
C. is not sure whether the stories are true
D. is telling the stories just for fun
According to the first story, the term “OK”________________.A.was approved of by President Jackson

According to the passage, President Jackson________________.A.couldn’t draw up any documents at all

问题 1 答案解析：C
细节推理题。见原文第一段中第二句话“Wedon’tknowifeitherstoryistrue”，意思是我们不知道这两个故事是否真实，因此选项C“作者不能确认故事是否真实”是正确选项。
问题 2 答案解析：C
细节推理题。原文提到了“OK”的两个用处，第一个起源于PresidentJackson,他批准某一文件的时候，会签上“OLkorekt”，即“ALLCORRECT”(全对)的错误拼写，后来又将之缩略为“OK”。故选项C“OK由PresidentJackson首用”符合原文。
问题 3 答案解析：D
细节题。见原文第二段第二句“hehaddifficultyreadingandwriting”，意思是“他在阅读和写作方面都有困难”，第二段最后一句“Theproblemwasthathedidn’tknowhowtospell”，意思是“问题是他不会拼写”，只有选项D“他拙于阅读、写作和拼写”与原文相符。选项C“他让他的助手替他签署文件”与原文所说“他让助手把文件读给他听”不符。
问题 4 答案解析：D
细节题。原文最后一段中说“VanBuren’sfriendsorganizedaclubtohelphimbecomePresident…anyonewhosupportedVanBurenwascalled‘OK’”，意思是VanBuren的支持者们组织了OldKinderhook俱乐部来支持他竞选，所以他的支持者们都被称为“OK”。故只有选项D符合原文。
问题 5 答案解析：B
判断推理题。原文最后一段中说“VanBuren’sfriendsorganizedaclubtohelphimbecomePresident…anyonewhosupportedVanBurenwascalled‘OK’”，意思是VanBuren的支持者们组织了OldKinderhook俱乐部来支持他竞选，所以他的支持者们都被称为“OK”。可见“OK”一开始专指那次总统竞选中VanBuren的支持者，仅适用于那次总统选举，故正确答案是B。
