There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger.”英語是一門瘋狂的語言。茄子里沒有雞蛋，菠蘿里也沒有松樹和蘋果，漢堡包里也沒有火腿，及下文所舉的多個詞可知，這些詞的意思并不是詞的表面意思。由此可以判斷出，作者以既幽默又輕松的語氣在論述英語是一門瘋狂的語言。故選D。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 There are around 600,000 vegans (素食者) in the UK.
