It reminds us of an interesting phrase, i.e. to let the cat out of the bag. In meaning it is the same as to tell the secret. And there is an old interesting story about it.Long ago,when farmers wanted to sell chickens at the market, most of the time they would just throw the chickens in cloth bags. But cats were cheaper than chickens, so many farmers would put cats into the cloth bags instead of chickens. One day, a woman asked a man for a chicken. The man gave her a cloth bag in which there was a cat. The woman begged to see the chicken. When the man opened the cloth bag, a big black cat ran out. Not a chicken! The mans secret was out and everyone knew it.Now when someone lets out(泄露)a secret, he let the cat out of the bag. And that is the story where the interesting phrase comes from.6.The phrase to let the cat out of the bag came from an interesting story.A.TB.F答案：A7.The woman wanted to buy a black cat.A.TB.F答案：B8.The farmers put cats into their cloth bags instead of chickens because cats were cheaper than chickens.A.TB.F答案：A9.In everyone knew it at the end of the second paragraph, it refers to the cloth bag.A.TB.F答案：B10.John lets the cat out of the bag means that he makes everyone know a secret.A.TB.F答案：AHow men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.11.The origin of language is _.A.a legend handed down from the pastB.a matter that is hidden or secretC.a question difficult to answerD.a problem not yet solved答案：D12.What is true about words?A.They are used to express feelings only.B.They can not be written down.C.They are simply sounds.D.They are mysterious.答案：C13.The real power of words consists in their _.A.propertiesB.characteristicsC.peculiarityD.representative function答案：D14.By “association” in the last paragraph, the author means _.A.a special qualityB.a joining of ideas in the mindC.an appearance which is puzzlingD.a strange feature答案：B15.Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true?A.He is no more than a master of words.B.He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.C.He can move men to tears.D.His style is always charming.答案：A三、词汇与语法16.The twin brothers are only _ in appearance.A.like B.likely C.likelihood D.alike答案：D17.About 40,000 years ago, the sea was _ 40 meters below todays level.A.about only B.only about C.about muchD.much about答案：B18.I wont make the _ mistake next time.A.likeB.sameC.nearD.similar答案：B19.They got there an hour _than the others.A.earlyB.much earlyC.more earlyD.earlier答案：D20.If she wants to keep slim, she must make a _ in her diet.A.changeB.turnC.runD.go答案：A四、完型填空A hot dog is one of the most popular American foods.
