life”.According to my dictionary,this means “life is hard and unpleasant”,but that definition is surely obsolete.A dogs life these days,at least in my house,is extremely comfortable.This is by no means the only phrase in the English language that suggests a dogs life is a sad one.When we become less successful than we were in the past,we “go to the dogs”;when we do something very badly,we make a “dogs breakfast” of it;if we feel really bad,were “as sick as a dog”.Unattractive or unpleasant people are considered “such a dog”!Cats do no better.They are described as humourless and cruel rulers (“While the cats away,the mouse will play”)or as self-satisfied (“The cat that got the cream”).They are also related to unspeakable horrors.For example,“Theres not enough room to swing a cat”.“Cat” is a short form of the cat-o-nine-tails(九尾鞭).The phrase probably originated at sea,where unfortunate sailors were beaten in tiny spaces.Despite all the above,“the cats whiskers(须)” are the most desirable whiskers.How our lovely companions entered the language in this way remains a mystery,but there are some explanations.“To let the cat out of the bag” probably refers to traders who tried to pass off(冒充) an old cat as a nice juicy little pig.“Its raining cats and dogs”,meanwhile,is related to cats with the mysterious force controlling the weather and dogs with the wind.Other sources suggest that it dates from the time when inner-city gutters(排水沟) overflowed with rubbish and dead animals.Many of these phrases reflect a time when cats and dogs were not as cherished as they are now.My own personal motto “Love me,love my dog” dates back as far as 1485,when it was recorded in a book called Early English Miscellanies.Although originally it may imply“If you really love me,you will have to accept my boils and scars(疤痕)”,it now means “If you love me,you will get to play with my little doggies,too”.【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章介绍了英语中与狗和猫有关的习语。4.The underlined word “obsolete” in Paragraph 1 probably means .A.wrongB.out of dateC.unclearD.beyond recognition答案:B解析:词义猜测题。根据第一段内容可知,“Its a dogs life.”一开始意为“生活艰难”,但是如今狗的生活非但不艰难,反而非常舒服。由此可推测,狗的“生活艰难”已经是老皇历了,obsolete意为“过时的”。5.If someone goes downhill,we can say he .A.is such a dogB.is as sick as a dogC.has gone to the dogsD.has made a dogs breakfast答案:C解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When we become less successful than we were in the past,we go to the dogs.”可知答案为C项。6.In what way is “the cats whiskers” different from the other phrases in Paragraph 3?A.Its origin is unknown.B.It is not used anymore.C.It presents a positive image of cats.D.Its meaning has changed over the years.答案:C解析:推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,猫在英语习语中的形象大多是负面的:没有幽默感、残忍、得意忘形甚至带着莫名的恐怖。然而the cats whiskers却是人们最想要的,表示“了不起的人、东西、主意等”,因此不同于其他习语,猫在这个习语中的形象是正面的。7.One of the origins of “Its raining cats and dogs” is associated with .A.fairy talesB.a mysterious eventC.animals poor conditionsD.a dishonest businessman答案:A解析:推理判断题。根据第四段中的第三句可知,能控制天气的猫和能控制风的狗应该都是出现在神话故事中,因此,这个习语的一个起源应该是和神话故事有关。.七选五A few weeks ago,I stopped at a red light with my teen daughter in the car.A beggar approached our car with a sign encouraging me to “Have a nice day”.Right away,my fingers found the car doors lock button to double-check that the car was locked.1.“Just to be safe,honey,”I told her.“What were you afraid of?”she wanted to know.I couldnt answer.No,I didnt really think he would jump in the car,hold a gun to my head or steal my bag.I felt her disappointment that I had judged someone as a risk simply because he was asking me for some change.Fast forward to last week.I was carrying several bags in a supermarkets parking lot when a beggar approached me.“Let me help you,” he said.I jumped because he shocked me.2. I glanced around to see who else was in the parking lot.I even considered just running into the supermarket.But I stayed and handed him some bags.He put them in my car.3. I gave him some money.As I replayed the scene in my head a million times later,I wondered if the beggar figured his effort would bring him personal gain.4. She was surprised.“Personal gain,Mom?Really?The guy is homeless.Wheres your heart?”My heart has obviously gotten lost along the way,my child.Ive been told too many stories where the bad guys win.5. But thank you,my dear.Your words remind me that I should find it again.A.“Why did you just do that,Mom?”asked my daughter.B.And then he stood there waiting for a reward.C.I told my daughter about it when we got home.D.I stepped back a little to make room for him.E.I had no good answer for my daughter.F.So yes,my heart went missing.G.“Whats the matter,lady?”答案与解析:【语篇导读】本文是记叙文。作者讲述了自己两次与乞丐相遇的经历。最后女儿的话让作者明白了自己的麻木和冷漠。她决定找回自己丢失的心。1.A解析:根据上文作者碰到乞丐后马上确认车门锁着及下文作者跟女儿说这样做是为了安全可推测,本空应该是“女儿问:妈妈,你为什么那样做呢?”2.D解析:根据本空前的shocked及本空后的一系列动作及想法可推测,这名乞丐吓了作者一跳,所以“我往后退了一点,给他让出点空间”。3.B解析:根据本空前后的动作可知,这名乞丐帮作者把袋子放上车,“然后在那儿等着作者给些酬劳”,所以作者给了他一些钱。4.C解析:根据本空后女儿的反应及下段所说的话可推测,作者回家后把(发生的事及自己的想法)告诉了女儿,女儿对此很惊讶。5.F解析:根据本空前后的内容可知,作者因为听到太多坏人取胜的故事,所以变得麻木和冷漠,“找不到自己的心了”。但是女儿的一番话让作者决定重新找回自己的心。.书面表达假设你是高三学生李华,你将参加学校举行的英语俱乐部主席竞选。请根据以下提示写一篇竞选演讲稿:1.个人的优势;2.当选后的打算。注意:1.词数100左右;2.可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯;3.开头和结尾已给出,不计入总词数。Hi,everyone!Thank you.参考范文:Hi,everyone!Im Li Hua from Senior Three.Today I am glad to be running for chairman of the English Club.I think Im suitable for the position.As monitor of my class,I have been thought highly of by my classmates and teachers.Im a good communicator and good at organising activities.Most importantly,I can speak fluent English and often communicate with foreigners.If Im lucky enough to be elected as chairman,I will try my best to arrange more activities and create a stronger English atmosphere for us.I sincerely hope you will give me a chance and vote for me.Thank you.导学号306400306
