A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. This idiom means that it is better to hold onto something you already have than to risk losing it by trying to get something better that may not be possible to obtain.For example,if you have a job offer that is good enough,it may be wiser to accept it rather than waiting for a better offer that may never come. It's raining cats and dogs. This idiom is used to describe very heavy rain.The origin of this phrase is not entirely clear,but some theories suggest that it may have come from the idea that heavy rain could cause cats and dogs to seek shelter and seem to be falling from the sky. The early bird catches the worm. This idiom encourages people to be early or prompt.It implies that those who are early or take action quickly will have an advantage or get a reward.For example,if you want to get a good seat in a theater or on a bus,you should arrive early like the early bird. Let the cat out of the bag. This idiom means to accidentally reveal a secret.For example,if you tell someone a secret that you were supposed to keep,you have let the cat out of the bag. 1.The idiom "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.suggests that A.we should take risks to get more B.it is better to keep what we have C.having two things is better than having one D.we should always try to get something better 2.If someone arrives early to get a good seat,we can say he is like A.the early bird B.a cat out of the bag C.a bird in the hand D.a dog in the manger 3.If you accidentally tell a secret,you have A.let the cat out of the bag B.caught the worm C.got two birds in the bush D.made it rain cats and dogs 高一学科素养周测评（二）英语第1页（共4页） 真题 The wealth of the mind is the only wealth. 4.These animal idioms 班级 A.have no real meanings B.are difficult to understand C.reflect the cultural background of speakers 姓名 D.are only used in English-speaking countries B When learning a foreign language,most people fall back on traditional ways: 得分 reading,writing,listening and repeating.But Brian Mathias'research team found out that if you gesture (with your arms while studying,you can remember the vocabulary better,even months later. As Mathias describes,they had 22 German-speaking adults learn a total of 90 invented words over four days.While the test subjects first heard the new vocabulary, they were shown a video of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of the word.When the word was repeated,the subjects performed the gesture themselves.Five months later,they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had learned into German. At the same time,they had equipment attached to their heads that sent weak distracting signals to their primary motor cortex(运动皮层)一the brain area that controls voluntary arm movements.Those who performed better on the task showed a higher level of activity in their motor cortex.The researchers concluded that the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learned with gestures.The effect did not occur when the subjects were only presented with matching pictures instead of gestures. Another research group led by Leipzig had young adults and eight-year-old children listen to new vocabulary for five days,paired with matching pictures or videos of gestures.After two months,the two methods were still equally effective.But after six months,the adults benefited more from the gestures than the pictures,while the children were helped equally by both. But it is not only the motor cortex itself that promotes learning.The meaning expressed by the gesture also figures in,"I think we underuse gesture in our classrooms,"Goldin-Meadow says."Good teachers and good listeners use it,but not always in a systematic way.Others don't necessarily bring it into the class-and it could be used more often and more effectively. 5.What do we know according to Brian Mathias'research? A.Those only presented with matching pictures performed better. B.The motor cortex had nothing to do with the vocabulary learning. C.The research concluded that gestures benefited vocabulary learning. D.22 German-speaking adults and children were chosen as the test subjects. 6.Why was equipment attached to the subjects'heads during Mathias'test? A.To count words. B.To record emotion. C.To influence brain activity. D.To give clues to questions. 密卷 高一学科素养周测评（二）英语第2页（共4页） WY 7.What does Leipzig's research tell us about language learning?
