Each word or phrase can only be used once.Many idioms in English are based on animals.When children jump around and act silly, for example, their parents may tell them to stop monkeying around. To monkey around means to do things that are not useful or serious, or to __46__ waste time.But to spend time playing with their family pets wouldn’t count as monkeying around. Many American families have a pet dog, which makes the children feel happy. But for some reason, which language experts do not know, Americans use “dog” in a phrase that means to feel unwell. If you are as sick as a dog, you are really, really sick and will most likely have to stay home and rest, or __47__ go and see a doctor.Apart from dogs, cats are also beloved family members in U.S. households. Sometimes you may hear them __48__ in Americans’ conversations. “I told you to keep that a secret, but you have just let the cat out of the bag!” You probably have 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 __49__ used idiom. When it rains heavily, people might say it’s raining cats and dogs outside!Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t __50__ someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes, and that our grandmas think we’re great talents and our uncles think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you __51__ a positive self-image and learnt to love yourself.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to __52__ in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and __53__. If you think you’redull because ________you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.plete the sentences with the given words in their proper forms.54. The referee’s________ description of the rules resulted in a lot of arguments among the players. (accuracy)55. Our suitcases are both heavy, but it seems that mine is a lot ________. (weigh)56. Before I went abroad, my friend said to me, “When in Rome, do as ________ do.” (Rome)57. All the relatives and friends looked ________ at the young man who suffered from the deadly disease. (worry)58. The ________ being so tricky made it very tough for the police to trace them. (theft)59. The precise details of the origins of life remain ________.

These legends are passed from person to person and reach a wide audience. A lot of them are inspired by a real event but the story changes as it is passed on. Although most legends are false, some turn out to be true. Here are some examples. Do you think they are true or false?UnluckyA student had not done his homework. The day before the essay was due in, he went to the university library and found an old essay written on the same subject. He simply copied it, typed it up and handed it in. A few weeks later, the teacher was handing the essays back to the class. She stopped by the student’s desk and said, “Twenty-five years ago, when I wrote this essay, it got a B, __________” She set the essay on the student’s desk, and there on the cover was a big A! The teacher continued, “If you try anything like this again, I’ll have you thrown out of school.”Caught on filmA young couple were married. The bride’s father gave them a lavish wedding and took a large wad of cash to pay people like the band, bartender, waiters, etc. At one point, the father took off his jacket to dance. When he later retrieved it, he discovered that the money was missing. A couple of weeks later, the entire family gathered to watch the video of the wedding. At one point, the groom’s father, unbeknown to him, could be seen in the background taking the money from the bride’s father’s coat! Of course this created a scandal(丑闻) and the marriage was immediately declared invalid.Confusing packagingThe packaging of consumer products, a convenience so familiar to Americans, can be confusing to a foreign visitor. I was lunching in the college cafeteria one afternoon with a young student from overseas. Noticing that he had torn open his tea bag and emptied his contents into his cup, I explained that the bag itself was meant to be dipped, unopened, into the water. A bit surprised, he thanked me graciously for correcting him – and then confidently dropped an unopened envelope of sugar into his tea.74. According to the passage, urban legends are stories that ________.1. are always based on a true story2. are told as if they are true3. are always false4. are modern5. are known by lots ofpeopleA. 1,2,4,5B. 2,4,5C. 1,3,4D. 3,575.

Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage.Should museums be free? That’s the question many people are asking following news of a class action lawsuit(集体诉讼) against one of the world’s most prestigious, expensive and visited museums.New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art is accused of deceptive ticketing practices. The lawsuit charges that the museum leads people to believe the $25 fee is __80__ rather than merely recommended.The Met attracts six million visitors per year, all of whom see a sign at the entrance informing the museum’s $25 adult admission fee. Though in smaller type just below the price is the word “recommended” . Over 40 percent visitors pay the full ticket prices __81__ noticing it.The lawsuit has raised questions about the pricing of museums across the U.S., ranging free to a recommended fee to mandatory(强制的) ticket fee. This is __82__ some countries, like the U.K., where all national museums are free.A survey of 30 top U.S. museums by The Art Newspaper has found that the root of the debate can be divided into two camps. One camp focuses on museums, revenue( 收 益 ), while the other believes museums should be free community __83__.According to the survey, museums in smaller cities tend not to charge admission fees, such as Ohio’s Cleveland Museum of Art. Museums in larger cities, such as New York’s Met, tend to charge high entry fees. Museums in major cities, especially those that attract tourists, charge a lot for entry. Their counterparts in areas with __84__ international tourists or which rely on local visitors are more likely to be free because they need those visitors to return.If more museums were to adopt free admission policies, support mechanisms would need to be __85__. Among them would be strong government grant programs for the art, more private donations and a revived culture ofphilanthropy to support culture institutions.What do you think? Should museums be free for all?80. A. prohibited81. A. after82. A. different from83. A. treasures84. A. increasing85. A. in timeB. forced B. before B. keeping pace with B. resources B. decreasing B. in needC. voluntaryD. required C. without D. while C. in contrast to D. similar to C. sources D. services C. more D. fewer C. in place D. in orderC. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.Anxiety is the appropriate emotion when the personal terror – of a volcano, an arrow, a stab(刺伤) in the back and other disasters, all directed against one’s self – d__86__.The kind of world that produces anxiety is actually a world of relative s__87__, a world in which no one feels that he himself is facing sudden death. The anxiety exists as an uneasystate of mind, in whichone has a feeling that something unspecified(不具体的) and indeterminable may go wrong. If the world seems to be going well, this produces anxiety – for good times may end. If the world is going badly – it may get w__88__. Anxiety tends to be without f__89__; the anxious person doesn’t know whether to blame himself or other people. He isn’t sure whether it is the current year of the administration or a change in climate or the atom bomb that is to blame for this undefined sense of unease.It is clear that we have developed a society which depends on having the right amount of anxiety to make it work. W__90__ we agree that too much anxiety is harmful to mental health, we have come to rely on anxiety to push us into seeing a doctor about a symptom which may indicate cancer, into checking up on that old life insurance policy which may have out-of-date terms in it, into having a conference with our child’s teacher even though his report card looks all right.People who are anxious enough keep their car insurance up, have the brakes checked, don’t take a drink when they have to drive. People who are too anxious either r__91__ to go into cars –and so complicate the ordinary course of life – or drive so tensely and carefully that they help avoid accidents. People who aren’t anxious enough take their c__92__, which increases the terrible accidents of the roads.D.Answer the questions.Years ago, a walk around Beijing’s hutong would mean hearing chatting locals adding “-er”to the end of syllables.However, this feature can hardly be heard among today’s Beijing dwellers(居民). A recent report by the Ministry of Education( 教育部) shows that the Beijing dialect is declining among the younger generation.With quick social development over recent years, an increasing number of migrants with different dialects can be found all over China. However, people are encouraged to speak Putonghua between each other, making the existence of dialects in danger.But rather than just letting the problem be, efforts are being made to save these local dialects because of the culture they carry. For many Chinese who live outside their hometowns, dialect is an important reminder of who they are and where they come from. From dialects, we can also know the history and local culture behind them.To save these valuable parts of history, the State Language Commission(国家语言文字工作委员会) has set up databases since 2008 to cover different local dialects, while many areas such as Beijing, Shanghai and Zhejiang province have built museums. The Beijing municipal education authorities(北京市教育部门) also plans to make the Beijing dialect part of its school-based curriculum.And it’s not just the government that is making an effort to keep the country’s dialects – an increasing number of individuals are joining in the effort, too. Wang Han, a well-known host of Hunan TV, has invested several million yuan into the research and protection of Hunan dialects.But all these efforts are still not enough to keep dialects from fading away. What we’re doing now is mostly rescue works. A more effective measure to keep them alive could be using elements such as pop songs and the “celebrity effect”(名人效应) to attract the young to use dialects. They need to realize that speaking their local dialect is something they can be proud of.93. We can’t often hear chatting locals adding “-er”to the end of syllables among today’s Beijing dwellers, can we?94. What endangers the existence of dialects?95. Why do we try to save dialects?96. Who is making efforts to protect dialects?97. How can we keep dialects alive in a more effective way?By ______________________________________________.98. Are you for or against the government’s efforts to save dialects? Can you think of any other way to help attract the young to use dialects?VIII.WritingWrite a passage on the topic “I’m a lucky boy/girl” in at least 60 words. 请以“我是一个幸运的男孩/女孩”为题写一篇至少60 个词的短文。

To monkey around means to do things that are not useful or serious, or to ___46___ waste time.But to spend time playing with their family pe ts wouldn’t count as monkeying around. Many American families have a pet dog, which makes the children feel happy. But for some reason, which language experts do not know, Americans use “dog” in a phrase that means to feel unwell. If you are as sick as a d og, you are really, really sick and will most likely have to stay home and rest, or ___47___ go and see a doctor.Apartfrom dogs, cats are also beloved family members in U.S. households. Sometimes you may hear them ___48___ in Americans’ conversations. “I told you to keep that a secret, but you have just let the cat out of the bag!” You probably have 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 s ide by side in a ___49___ used idiom. When it rains heavily, people might say it’s raining cats and dogs outside!Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t ___50___ someone else to love you until you love yourself. Eitherway, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes, and that our grandm as think we’re great talents and our uncles think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you ___51___ a positive self-image and learnt to love yourself.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is make a list if you need to. but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to ____52____ in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary ask. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you're weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and ____53____ If you think you’ re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes.
