There are so many expressions in American English that sound good but actually are not.
“Face the music” is a good example. When someone says they have to face the music, it does not mean they are going to a musical show or concert. To face the music means to accept the bad results of a behaviour.
Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the keys and says, “Thanks so much for watching my car while I'm away. But please do not drive it. It is a very fast car and you are not on the insurance (保险).” But you do not listen. You want to show it to some friends and pretend (假装) the car is yours. So, you drive it around town one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. The damage is serious. When your friend returns, you must tell her what you have done and “face the music”. The “music” here is the result of your behaviour. It could be losing the friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both.Whatever the music is, you must face it.
There are other American expressions that mean the same as “face the music”.
To “take your medicine” means to accept the results from something bad you have done. And if someone says, “You made your bed. Now lie in it.” He means you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results, or as we say in American spoken English, you must deal with it!
“Pay the piper” also means the same as “face the music”. But, that expression has its own very interesting beginning. We will talk about that in the next Words and Their Stories.
1.What's the main idea of this passage?
A.To invite a friend to go to a musical performance.
B.To tell people how to deal with a bad situation.
C.To give people a lesson on an action.
D.To introduce some expressions.
2.Which action belongs to “take your medicine”?
A.You broke the traffic rules and caused an accident.
B.You worked hard but failed in the exam.
C.You caught a cold and took some medicine.
D.You moved to a new city and lost touch with your old friends.
3.Which of the following expressions doesn't have the same meaning with the others?
A.Face the music. B.Take your medicine.
C.Make your bed. D.Pay the piper.
4.What may next paragraph talk about?
A.Other words and their stories.
B.The beginning of “pay the piper”.
C.The wider use of “face the music”.
D.An example of “take your medicine”.
B
Learning other languages, you discover how to say the same thing in many different ways. In English we say “goodnight”. In Vietnam, people say “Chúc ngǔ ngon”, which means “have a delicious sleep”. When I think about the word“delicious”I think of pizza, chocolate and icecream. I don't think about going to sleep. So depending on the language, different phrases will improve your creativity and force you to think about how to say things in a different way.
Studying a new language, you will notice that you have to learn a new sense of humour that comes along with the culture of that language. Sometimes, jokes that work in English won't work in French or Japanese. But sometimes things that nobody would laugh in English work in Vietnamese. I learned this when I performed standup comedy in Vietnam. A lot of my nonVietnamese speaking friends would ask me to translate the jokes for them, but when I translated back to English, no one laughed.
When you learn a new language you have to learn a lot of vocabulary, new grammar structures, idioms, and much more besides. Doing this, you have to learn memorization tactics (策略). These could be flashcards, using recall methods, or building a memory palace. Whatever tactic you use, it will strengthen your creativity.
Next time you meet someone who speaks several languages, before you think that they have something special going on in their brains, take a step back and think. Maybe they do. But maybe they've got that special thing because they've made the effort to learn several languages. And effort is something we can all give.
5.Which has the closest meaning as “Chúc ngǔ ngon”?
A.Goodbye. B.Delicious food.
C.Have a nice day. D.Have a nice dream.
6.Why did no one laugh after hearing the translation of the jokes?
A.The jokes were not funny at all.
B.The author was not a good comedian.
C.The audience couldn't get the humor inside.
D.English was less humorous than Vietnamese.
7.How does learning a new language improve creativity according to Paragraph 3?
A.It enables a memory palace.
B.It helps to build up a large vocabulary.
C.Different memorization tactics inspire creativity.
D.Different language structures strengthen creativity.
8.What does the author think of learning a new language?
A.Gift matters. B.Effort counts.
C.Think it twice. D.It depends on tactics.
Ⅱ.语法填空
Today after work, as I was driving home, I realized my brake wasn't working. I started to panic and managed to pull over, 1.________ (luck) without crashing into anything or anyone. As I was struggling to figure out what to do, 2.________ middleaged black man knocked on my car window and asked me3.________ I needed help.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。在美式英语中,许多类似于face the music的表达听起来很好,但其实真实含义并非如此。
1.答案与解析:D 主旨大意题。根据第一段“There are so many expressions in American English that sound good but actually are not.”可知,主要介绍了美式英语中许多表达听起来很好,但其实真实含义并非如此。故本文主要介绍了一些英语的表达。
2.答案与解析:A 推理判断题。根据第五段中“To ‘take your medicine’ means to accept the results from something bad you have done.”可知,take your medicine的意思是接受你所做的坏事的结果。A项(你违反了交通,造成了交通事故)和“take your medicine”的意思相符。B、C和D三项都不能说是做的坏事,都和“take your medicine”的意思不符。
3.答案与解析:C 细节理解题。文中对四个选项的意思分别进行了解释,Pay the piper 和Take your medicine 都是Face the music的同义词,意思是接受自己不好的行为所造成的结果,根据第五段中“‘You made your bed.Now lie in it.’ He means you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results, or as we say in American spoken English, you must deal with it!”可知,Make your bed的意思是制造了一个糟糕的局面,所以Make your bed 与其他几个词意思不同,故选C项。
4.答案与解析:B 推理判断题。文章最后一段主要叙述的是,Pay the piper这个表达有一个很有意思的开端,而最后一句说到“We will talk about that in the next Words and Their Stories.”由此,可知下一段要讲的是Pay the piper的开始。
B
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是学习其他语言,你会发现如何用许多不同的方式说同样的事情。作者认为学习一门新语言“努力”很重要。
5.答案与解析:D 词义猜测题。根据第一段的内容可知,“goodnight”和“Chúc ngǔ ngon”意思相同,而“Chúc ngǔ ngon”的意思是“have a delicious sleep”,也就是“做个好梦”。
6.答案与解析:C 推理判断题。根据第二段中“But sometimes things that nobody would laugh in English work in Vietnamese...but when I translated back to English,no one laughed. ”可知,听了这些笑话的翻译后没有人笑是因为“观众无法领会其中的幽默”。
7.答案与解析:C 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Doing this, you have to learn memorization tactics (策略). These could be flashcards, using recall methods,or building a memory palace. Whatever tactic you use, it will strengthen your creativity. ”可知,学习一门新语言通过不同的记忆策略激发创造力。
8.答案与解析:B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But maybe they've got that special thing because they've made the effort to learn several languages. And effort is something we can all give. ”可知,作者认为学习一门新语言“努力”很重要。
Ⅱ.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。“我”的车因为没有制动液而导致刹车失灵,一个中年黑人为“我”购买了制动液并加入车中,为此我心中充满感激。
1.答案与解析:luckily 考查副词。句意:我开始慌张,设法停下车来,幸运的是没有撞到任何东西和任何人。使用副词作状语修饰“without crashing into anything or anyone”。
2.答案与解析:a 考查冠词。句意:当我在努力寻找解决方法时,一个中年黑人敲了敲我的车窗,问我是否需要帮助。此处表泛指,middle-aged是以辅音音素开头的单词,故填a。
3.答案与解析:if/whether 考查宾语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处需要填入引导宾语从句的连词。结合句意可知,中年黑人敲车窗是为了问“我”是否需要帮助。
4.答案与解析:checking 考查非谓语动词。句意:他查看了我的车后说,可能是我的车没有制动液了,因为这种情况发生在了他女儿的车上。介词after后接动名词作宾语。
5.答案与解析:to 考查固定短语。(sth.)happen to sb.表示“某事发生在某人身上”。
6.答案与解析:helped 考查时态。本文叙述的事情发生在过去,故使用一般过去时。
7.答案与解析:to take 考查非谓语动词。句意:我支付制动液的费用,但他拒绝接受我的钱。refuse to do意为“拒绝做某事”。
8.答案与解析:were covered 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,逗号后面是which引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词hands在从句中作主语,它承受cover的动作,且动作发生在过去,谓语动词使用一般过去时的被动语态。
9.答案与解析:thankful 考查形容词。thank的形容词在was后面作表语,表示“我”要感谢这位男子,故填thankful。
10.答案与解析:kindness 考查名词。此处应使用kind的名词kindness作forget的宾语,表示“善良”之意。

参考范文:
Dear Peter,
I'm glad to receive your letter asking for my advice on how to learn Chinese well.
Here are a few suggestions. First, it is important to take a Chinese course. Then, it also helps to watch TV and read books, newspapers and magazines in Chinese whenever possible. Besides, it should be a good idea to learn and sing Chinese songs, because by doing so you'll learn and remember Chinese words more easily. You can also make more Chinese friends. They will tell you a lot about China and help you learn Chinese.
Try and write me in Chinese next time.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua
