People use languages to communicate. Any language has its ways to express people’s minds. One of the ways in common is the use of idioms. An idiom is a group of words. It has a special meaning that is different from the usual meaning. For example, under the weather is an idiom meaning ill. So when people say “I’m under the weather," they are saying that they’re not feeling well. Another example, in all weathers means in all kinds of weather. So, “There are homeless people sleeping on the streets in all weathers" tells us that homeless people sleep on the streets no matter whether it is cold or hot.
Different languages may have different ways to make idioms. For people who are learning a foreign language, idioms could cause misunderstandings and bring them endless headaches. On the other hand, if things are done right, idioms can also be a fun way of looking into a new culture and understanding how the people think and talk.
Metaphor (比喻) is often used in idioms. Let’s read the following two examples:
● It makes my blood boil (煮沸) when people litter.
● The night was dark and quiet; my blood ran cold when I heard a strange noise outside at dark night.
In neither situation above, our blood can reach the point so high or so low in temperature. Yet, with the situations the two sentences created, it is not difficult to work out the unhappy feelings of really angry in the first example and very afraid in the second.
Of course, not all idioms are this easy to understand. When we come to idioms of a foreign language, a good dictionary of idioms is always suggested.
44. This passage tells us something about __________ in the English language.
A. grammar B. writing C. reading D. idioms
45. If your brother breaks your computer, you can say to him, “__________.”
A. I’m under the weather B. I’m there in all weathers
C. You’ve made my blood boil D. My blood runs cold
46. What is the writer’s advice when you come to an expression like under the weather?
A. We should look it up in a good idiom dictionary.
B. We should try to express our minds with it.
C. We should find an interesting way to learn it.
D. We should create situations to guess its meaning.
【答案】44. D 45. C 46. A
【解析】
【分析】本文介绍了人们是用语言去交流,而习语是表达人们想法的一种方式,有的时候习语会引起误会,也会让人很头疼,但是另一方面,习语是了解一种新文化的有趣方式。
44题详解】
主旨大意题。根据One of the ways in common is the use of idioms及下文的介绍,可知,本文是告诉我们英语中关于习语的一些知识。故选D。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据It makes my blood boil (煮沸) when people litter及it is not difficult to work out the unhappy feelings of really angry in the first example,可知,make my blood boil形容人在生气时的不愉快情绪,所以当你的哥哥弄坏你的电脑时,你一定是生气的,可以用make my blood boil表达。故选C。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据When we come to idioms of a foreign language, a good dictionary of idioms is always suggested,可知,当我们碰到一种外国语言的习语时,我们应该在一本好的习语字典里进行查阅。故选A。
C
Music plays an important role in the lives of people all over the world. That is why many wonder what influences their tastes in music. Could your music list show something about your personality? One scientific study by Heriot-Walt University offered a possible answer by experiment. Here are the results it found:
Pop Music Fans of top 40 pop hits are likely to be outgoing and honest. While pop music lovers are hard-working and have high self-esteem (自尊), researchers suggest that they may be less creative and easy to get worried.
Rap or Hip-Hop Music People usually believe that rap lovers are more aggressive (好争斗的) but researchers have found no such connection. They say rap fans are likely to have high self-esteem and are usually outgoing.
Rock or Heavy Metal Music Although sometimes rock or heavy metal music seems aggressive, researchers found that fans of this style of music are usually quite gentle. They can be creative, but are often shy and have low self-esteem.
Classical Music Classical music lovers are typically shyer but also feel comfortable with themselves and the world around them. They are creative and have a good sense of self-esteem.
Though personality alone does not explain musical preferences, this experiment helps you know yourself and others better.
47. What’s the purpose of the study?
A. To know what kind of music people like most.
B. To tell people the importance of listening to music.
C. To show people which kind of music they should listen to.
D. To test the relationship between a person’s personality and his or her music list.
48. Which is the structure (结构) of the passage?
A. ①/②/③④⑤⑥ B. ①/②③④/⑤⑥ C. ①/②③/④⑤⑥ D. ①/②③④⑤/⑥

Cindy was eight years old and lived with her parents in California. One day, her parents told her that they would leave California in a week and move to Florida because her father found a new job there.
A week later, after they moved to Florida, Cindy’s mother took her to meet her new teacher. The teacher said, “Welcome to our school, Cindy. Let me tell you what we do in our second-grade class. We start the day with reading and writing. After that, we do math. Then we go out to have a long rest for outdoor activities. We eat lunch at eleven o’clock. Then we have story time. After story time, we have science. Then we go to learning centers. There you can work on the computer, play a game, or read a book. Next, we have spelling(写字课). Finally, we go to music and art classes for the last hour of the day. Here is a time list of the subjects and school activities for you. There is some other information in it. I’ll be glad to see you tomorrow, Cindy! I’m sure your new classmates will be glad to see you, too. ”
41 What grade was Cindy in when she moved to Florida with her parents?

People use languages to communicate. Any language has its ways to express people’s minds. One of the ways in common is the use of idioms. An idiom is a group of words. It has a special meaning that is different from the usual meaning. For example, under the weather is an idiom meaning ill. So when people say “I’m under the weather," they are saying that they’re not feeling well. Another example, in all weathers means in all kinds of weather. So, “There are homeless people sleeping on the streets in all weathers" tells us that homeless people sleep on the streets no matter whether it is cold or hot.
Different languages may have different ways to make idioms. For people who are learning a foreign language, idioms could cause misunderstandings and bring them endless headaches. On the other hand, if things are done right, idioms can also be a fun way of looking into a new culture and understanding how the people think and talk.
Metaphor (比喻) is often used in idioms. Let’s read the following two examples:
● It makes my blood boil (煮沸) when people litter.
● The night was dark and quiet; my blood ran cold when I heard a strange noise outside at dark night.
In neither situation above, our blood can reach the point so high or so low in temperature. Yet, with the situations the two sentences created, it is not difficult to work out the unhappy feelings of really angry in the first example and very afraid in the second.
Of course, not all idioms are this easy to understand. When we come to idioms of a foreign language, a good dictionary of idioms is always suggested.
44. This passage tells us something about __________ in the English language.
A. grammar B. writing C. reading D. idioms
45. If your brother breaks your computer, you can say to him, “__________.”
A. I’m under the weather B. I’m there in all weathers
C. You’ve made my blood boil D. My blood runs cold
46. What is the writer’s advice when you come to an expression like under the weather?
A. We should look it up in a good idiom dictionary.
B. We should try to express our minds with it.
C. We should find an interesting way to learn it.
D. We should create situations to guess its meaning.
C
Music plays an important role in the lives of people all over the world. That is why many wonder what influences their tastes in music. Could your music list show something about your personality? One scientific study by Heriot-Walt University offered a possible answer by experiment. Here are the results it found:
Pop Music Fans of top 40 pop hits are likely to be outgoing and honest. While pop music lovers are hard-working and have high self-esteem (自尊), researchers suggest that they may be less creative and easy to get worried.
Rap or Hip-Hop Music People usually believe that rap lovers are more aggressive (好争斗的) but researchers have found no such connection. They say rap fans are likely to have high self-esteem and are usually outgoing.
Rock or Heavy Metal Music Although sometimes rock or heavy metal music seems aggressive, researchers found that fans of this style of music are usually quite gentle. They can be creative, but are often shy and have low self-esteem.
Classical Music Classical music lovers are typically shyer but also feel comfortable with themselves and the world around them. They are creative and have a good sense of self-esteem.
Though personality alone does not explain musical preferences, this experiment helps you know yourself and others better.
47. What’s the purpose of the study?
A. To know what kind of music people like most.
B. To tell people the importance of listening to music.
C. To show people which kind of music they should listen to.
D. To test the relationship between a person’s personality and his or her music list.
48. Which is the structure (结构) of the passage?
A. ①/②/③④⑤⑥ B. ①/②③④/⑤⑥ C. ①/②③/④⑤⑥ D. ①/②③④⑤/⑥
49. What kind of music does Mrs. Green like listening to if she feels relaxed about the world around her?
A. Pop music. B. Rock music. C. Classical music. D. Rap music.
50. In which part of a magazine can we read the passage?
