English is full of funny expressions that don’t always make sense. Idioms are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of each word, you may not understand the idiom because you don’t understand the culture behind it. Here are some English idioms based on animals.
When children jump around and act silly, their parents may tell them to stop “monkeying around”.To “monkey around” means to do things that are not useful or serious, or to simply waste time.
Many American families have and love pet dogs. But for some unknown reason, Americans use “dog” in a phrase that means to feel unwell. If you are “as sick as a dog”, you’re really, really sick.
Sometimes you may also hear cats mentioned in conversations, “I told you to keep that secret, but you have just ‘let the cat out of the bag’!” You probably guessed it — that idiom means to reveal a secret or tell facts that were previously unknown.
Dogs and cats don’t always get along, but they appear side by side in a commonly used idiom. When it rains heavily, people might say it’s “raining cats and dogs”.
Heavy rain often ruins people’s plans for outdoor activities. But on a lovely day, you can have a picnic. If a swarm (一群) of tiny bugs love your food and start to hover (盘旋) around you, it would be really annoying. That experience perfectly explains why people often tell someone who keeps bothering them to “stop bugging me”.
Idioms are very common in both spoken and written English. If you want to have a better understanding of English, you have to learn idioms.

6. What can be learned from the text?
A. Dogs and cats always get along nicely.
B. Bugs can be used to show your annoyance.
C. Americans believe cats can give away secrets.
D. Americans use the idiom “as sick as a dog” to describe a healthy man.
7. How does the text mainly develop?

Everyone tries their best in life, and sometimes a few kind words of encouragement can help people realize that their efforts are not in vain (徒劳).Ⅰ remember a time when I was in fifth grade, and I was a very shy girl.
There was a drawing competition at my school that day. As everyone started to use their creative ideas to draw, I was only trying to think of something creative that could express my thoughts and emotions. Lost in my own world, I was brought back to reality when my art teacher called my name from behind. She came to me and encouraged me, saying, “Don’t overthink it, just put whatever comes to your mind on the canvas (画布). Do your best, and you will do well.”
Taking her words of wisdom to heart, I started my painting. Time flew by, and soon the bell rang, signaling the end of the time limit. We all turned in our canvases for inspection (检查). The next day, the winners of the competition were announced in front of the whole school. To my surprise, I heard my name being called second prize. It was a bolt from the blue for me, as I had never dared to dream of winning any prize.
Later on, I expressed my gratitude to my art teacher for her words of encouragement and for believing in me. That day, I became aware of my talent and started painting more whenever I had free time. Sometimes, I think that if it weren’t for her words of encouragement, I may have never discovered the talent I have.
Overall, this experience taught me the importance of encouraging others and how a few kind words can make a significant impact on someone’s life.
8. What was the author doing when called by the art teacher?
A. Organizing a drawing competition. B. Trying to get some creative ideas.
C. Painting her work on her canvas. D. Trying to get help from others.

A. Easy. B. Interesting. C. Challenging. D. Encouraging.
10. What do the underlined words “bolt from the blue” in paragraph 3 mean?

11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Power of Encouragement
B. The Importance of Art Competitions
C. Overcoming Shyness Through Painting
D. Discovering Your Great Natural Ability
D
A new trend called “praise groups” or “in-need-of-praise” chat groups has become popular on Chinese social media. In Chinese culture, where modesty (谦逊) is valued, openly seeking and giving praise is uncommon. These chat groups provide a platform for people to receive compliments (赞扬) and encouragement, which are often lacking in their daily lives.
To join a praise group users can pay a fee on e-commerce sites, starting at 50 yuan for five minutes of compliments. The group members will then show the person with praises and kind words. The compliments can be designed for a friend or loved one as well. Participants have found that being praised by strangers can help lift their spirits and improve their self-confidence.
For example, Meng Zha, a student at Shanghai’s Tongji University, tried the service and found it interesting and encouraging. She received compliments on her appearance and even quotes (引用) from popular songs. Ms Meng couldn’t help but laugh at the compliments and expressed her wish to post such high-quality praises in the future.
Praise groups have appeared as a way for people in China to look for and receive compliments and encouragement that may be lacking in their daily lives. It provides a positive and uplifting experience for participants, improving a sense of happiness and self-worth.
Those who support the groups, see them as an antidote to extremely bad moods (情绪) which are often connected with things happening on the Internet. “At first, the purpose of this group is to make us learn to praise others and accept others’ praises confidently. Here we can drop everything, and use our heart to praise and support others,” one member said. But the life journey is long and there are some unexpected situations that we can only depend on ourselves to face when there is no one out there to offer help.
12 What is the purpose of praise groups?
A. To make praise popular. B. To have everyone supported.
C. To share common interests. D. To give people hope and happiness.
13. What can we learn about Meng Zha in paragraph 3?
A. She was not strong enough. B. She was under working stress.
C. She was satisfied with the service. D. She was a gifted singer in her area.
14. What does the underlined word “antidote” mean in the last paragraph?
A. A kind of medicine. B. A way of making new friends.
C. A method of being confident. D. The wisdom of solving problems.
15. What is the author’s attitude to praise groups?
A. Worried. B. Objective. C. Supportive. D. Confused.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了英语习语的特点并列举了一些与动物相关的习语。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“Even if you know the meaning of each word, you may not understand the idiom because you don’t understand the culture behind it. (即使你知道每个单词的意思,你也可能不理解这个习语,因为你不了解它背后的文化。)”可知,习语有它背后的文化。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“When children jump around and act silly, their parents may tell them to stop “monkeying around”.To “monkey around” means to do things that are not useful or serious, or to simply waste time. (当孩子们跳来跳去做傻事时,他们的父母可能会告诉他们不要“胡闹”。“胡闹”的意思是做一些没用或不严肃的事情,或者只是浪费时间。)”可知,“monkeying around”用来描述跳来跳去,浪费时间的孩子。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段最后两句“If a swarm (一群) of tiny bugs love your food and start to hover (盘旋) around you, it would be really annoying. That experience perfectly explains why people often tell someone who keeps bothering them to “stop bugging me”. (如果一群小虫子喜欢你的食物,开始在你周围盘旋,那真的很烦人。这种经历很好地解释了为什么人们经常告诉那些一直打扰他们的人“别烦我了”。)”可知,人们经常对一直打扰他们的人说“stop bugging me”。由此可推知,我们可以用与虫子(bug)有关的习语来表达恼怒。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章第一段说明了英语习语的特点,第二至六段列举了五个与动物相关的英语习语并进行了语意的探究,由此推知,本文是以举例子的方式展开的。故选C。

Everyone tries their best in life, and sometimes a few kind words of encouragement can help people realize that their efforts are not in vain (徒劳).Ⅰ remember a time when I was in fifth grade, and I was a very shy girl.
There was a drawing competition at my school that day. As everyone started to use their creative ideas to draw, I was only trying to think of something creative that could express my thoughts and emotions. Lost in my own world, I was brought back to reality when my art teacher called my name from behind. She came to me and encouraged me, saying, “Don’t overthink it, just put whatever comes to your mind on the canvas (画布). Do your best, and you will do well.”
Taking her words of wisdom to heart, I started my painting. Time flew by, and soon the bell rang, signaling the end of the time limit. We all turned in our canvases for inspection (检查). The next day, the winners of the competition were announced in front of the whole school. To my surprise, I heard my name being called second prize. It was a bolt from the blue for me, as I had never dared to dream of winning any prize.
Later on, I expressed my gratitude to my art teacher for her words of encouragement and for believing in me. That day, I became aware of my talent and started painting more whenever I had free time. Sometimes, I think that if it weren’t for her words of encouragement, I may have never discovered the talent I have.
Overall, this experience taught me the importance of encouraging others and how a few kind words can make a significant impact on someone’s life.
8. What was the author doing when called by the art teacher?
A. Organizing a drawing competition. B. Trying to get some creative ideas.
C. Painting her work on her canvas. D. Trying to get help from others.
9. What did the author think of the competition?
A. Easy. B. Interesting. C. Challenging. D. Encouraging.
10. What do the underlined words “bolt from the blue” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Addiction. B. Puzzlement. C. Disappointment. D. Surprise.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Power of Encouragement
B. The Importance of Art Competitions
C. Overcoming Shyness Through Painting
D. Discovering Your Great Natural Ability
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述自己的一次参赛经历来证明鼓励的重要性。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“As everyone started to use their creative ideas to draw, I was only trying to think of something creative that could express my thoughts and emotions. Lost in my own world, I was brought back to reality when my art teacher called my name from behind.(当每个人都开始用他们的创意来画画时,我只是想一些能表达我想法和情绪的创意。我迷失在自己的世界里,当我的艺术老师从背后呼唤我的名字时,我又回到了现实)”可知,当艺术老师叫作者时,作者正在努力获得一些富有创造力的思路。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“As everyone started to use their creative ideas to draw, I was only trying to think of something creative that could express my thoughts and emotions. Lost in my own world, I was brought back to reality when my art teacher called my name from behind. She came to me and encouraged me, saying, “Don’t overthink it, just put whatever comes to your mind on the canvas (画布). Do your best, and you will do well.”(当每个人都开始用他们的创意来画画时,我只是想一些能表达我想法和情绪的创意。我迷失在自己的世界里,当我的艺术老师从背后呼唤我的名字时,我又回到了现实。她走到我面前鼓励我,说:“不要想得太多,只要把你想到的都写在画布上。尽你所能,你就会做得很好。”)”可知,别的学生已经开始画画了,但是作者还在苦苦构思;且艺术老师对作者说:“不要想太多,只要把你想到的东西画在画布上就行了。”这些都说明作者觉得这次比赛对自己来说很难,很有挑战性。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“To my surprise, I heard my name being called second prize. It was a bolt from the blue for me, as I had never dared to dream of winning any prize.(令我惊讶的是,我听到二等奖里有自己的名字。这对我来说是bolt from the blue,因为我从来不敢梦想赢得任何奖项)”可知,作者做梦都不敢想能得到任何奖品,所以听到自己获奖的消息后感到非常惊讶,划线部分表示“震惊,惊讶”,与surprise同义。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Overall, this experience taught me the importance of encouraging others and how a few kind words can make a significant impact on someone’s life.(总的来说,这段经历教会了我鼓励他人的重要性,以及几句友善的话如何对某人的生活产生重大影响)”以及文章内容可知,作者通过讲述自己的一次参赛经历来证明鼓励的重要性,所以“鼓励的力量”可以作为文章标题。故选A。
D
A new trend called “praise groups” or “in-need-of-praise” chat groups has become popular on Chinese social media. In Chinese culture, where modesty (谦逊) is valued, openly seeking and giving praise is uncommon. These chat groups provide a platform for people to receive compliments (赞扬) and encouragement, which are often lacking in their daily lives.
To join a praise group, users can pay a fee on e-commerce sites, starting at 50 yuan for five minutes of compliments. The group members will then show the person with praises and kind words. The compliments can be designed for a friend or loved one as well. Participants have found that being praised by strangers can help lift their spirits and improve their self-confidence.
For example, Meng Zha, a student at Shanghai’s Tongji University, tried the service and found it interesting and encouraging. She received compliments on her appearance and even quotes (引用) from popular songs. Ms Meng couldn’t help but laugh at the compliments and expressed her wish to post such high-quality praises in the future.
Praise groups have appeared as a way for people in China to look for and receive compliments and encouragement that may be lacking in their daily lives. It provides a positive and uplifting experience for participants, improving a sense of happiness and self-worth.
Those who support the groups, see them as an antidote to extremely bad moods (情绪) which are often connected with things happening on the Internet. “At first, the purpose of this group is to make us learn to praise others and accept others’ praises confidently. Here we can drop everything, and use our heart to praise and support others,” one member said. But the life journey is long and there are some unexpected situations that we can only depend on ourselves to face when there is no one out there to offer help.
12. What is the purpose of praise groups?
A. To make praise popular. B. To have everyone supported.
C. To share common interests. D. To give people hope and happiness.
13. What can we learn about Meng Zha in paragraph 3?
A. She was not strong enough. B. She was under working stress.
C. She was satisfied with the service. D. She was a gifted singer in her area.
14. What does the underlined word “antidote” mean in the last paragraph?
A. A kind of medicine. B. A way of making new friends.
C. A method of being confident. D. The wisdom of solving problems.
15. What is the author’s attitude to praise groups?
A. Worried. B. Objective. C. Supportive. D. Confused.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种叫做“夸夸群”的交流形式在中国社交媒体上流行起来,这些聊天群提供了一个平台,让人们能够得到赞美和鼓励。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“These chat groups provide a platform for people to receive compliments (赞扬) and encouragement, which are often lacking in their daily lives.(这些聊天群为人们提供了一个接受赞美和鼓励的平台,而这些在日常生活中往往是缺乏的。)”和第四段中“Praise groups have appeared as a way for people in China to look for and receive compliments and encouragement that may be lacking in their daily lives.(夸夸群的出现,是中国人寻求和接受日常生活中可能缺乏的赞美和鼓励的一种方式。)”可推知,夸夸群的目的是给人们带来希望和幸福。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Ms Meng couldn’t help but laugh at the compliments and expressed her wish to post such high-quality praises in the future.(孟女士忍不住笑了起来,并表示希望以后也能发表这样高质量的赞扬。)”可知,孟对夸夸群的服务是很满意的。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词上文“Those who support the groups, see them as(这些支持这个群体的人把他们看作)”以及后文“to extremely bad moods (情绪) which are often connected with things happening on the Internet.(可以缓解极端糟糕的情绪,这种情绪通常与互联网上发生的事情有关。)”可知,此处为那些支持这些群的人,认为它们是一种解药。故可猜测划线单词antidote与A项“一种药”意思相近。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Those who support the groups, see them as an antidote to extremely bad moods (情绪) which are often connected with things happening on the Internet. (那些支持这些群体的人认为,它们是缓解极度糟糕情绪的良药,而这些糟糕情绪往往与互联网上发生的事情有关。)”和“But the life journey is long and there are some unexpected situations that we can only depend on ourselves to face when there is no one out there to offer help.(但是人生的旅程是漫长的,当没有人提供帮助的时候,我们只能依靠自己来面对一些意想不到的情况。)”可推知,作者对夸夸群的态度是客观的。故选B项。
