AbyBtoCwithDfor三、阅读单选Idioms (习语) are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of each word you see or hear, you may not understand the idiom because you dont understand the culture behind it.For example, if an American boy asks his mother whats for dinner tomorrow, she may say“Ill play it by ear”, that means she doesnt have plans for dinner and she will decide later.“Play by ear”used to mean playing music using the sheet music, but now people often use it when theyre not talking about music.There are many idioms in English. If you learn to use them, your English will be more vivid and colorful. English idioms are more common in spoken English. They can be difficult to remember sometimes. Next time when you hear somebody saying to you, “Give me a hand”, you dont necessarily stretch out your hand to him/her, but you do need to be helpful. And when the situation is out of hand, you usually can do very little to manage all that. What about a green hand? Its not about the color of your hand! Youre a green hand when you are very new at your work and dont have much experience. If you and your partner always work together hand in glove, you two definitely work together very well.Can you guess the meanings of some common English idioms to do with parts of your body?21 . An idiom is _.Aa phrase or a sentence that means exactly what the words sayBa phrase or a sentence that doesnt mean exactly what every word saysCso difficult that nobody can understandDsomething to do with parts of your body22 . If a mother says“Ill play it by ear”to talk about the dinner, she means _.Ashe will cook dinner while listening to music at the same timeBshe doesnt hear what others are talking about.Cshe will play music using the sheet music instead of cooking dinnerDShe doesnt have plans for dinner and will decide later23 . When one says“Can you give me a hand?”, he means _.Ahe needs to hold your hand.Bhe works well with youChe needs your helpDhe is a new comer and cant help with the situation24 . Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?APeople use English idioms more in spoken English than in written English.BTo understand the culture behind an idiom is important in understanding the idiom.CIdioms make your English more vivid and colorful so they are easy to remember.DYou may not understand an idiom even though you know the meaning of each word.25 .

If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These “Polar Bears” are people who meet frequently in winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, air temperature was 3, and the water temperature was a bit higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island , New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements. First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group, this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the bodys temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits(or advantages) of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统) because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.The main benefits(or advantages) of cold-water swimming are probably mental（精神的）. The Polar Bears love to swim year-round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says,“When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away(漂走).”31 . The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that _.Athey must reach the age of 60Bthey should be easy to make friends withCthey must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold monthsDthey must agree to swim outdoors from November through February32 . Doctors _.Aencourage people to take part in cold-water swimming activelyBpoint out the possible danger of blood illness during cold-water swimmingCbelieve swimming is helpful both in winter and in summerDhave different ideas about the medical effects of cold-water swimming33 . According to the passage, some doctors believe it is true that _.Ayou are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blueBcold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winterCcold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously highDPolar Bears are bears swimming in freezing water34 . The Polar Bears like to swim all the year round, for _.Athey can remain youngBit is an easy way to keep the body warm in winterCthey find it enjoyable and interestingDthey might meet fewer troubles in life35 . The passage is mainly about _.Aa group of cold-water swimming loversBthe polar bears lifeCdoctors ideas about cold-water swimmingDthe requirements of the Polar Bear ClubIn one way of thinking, failure is a part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The “spider story” is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times without success. On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time?Second, is the goal youre trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about this question, “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?” This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldnt be doing anyway.The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that its a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself” even though you may have failed. Remember, “You cant win them all.”36 . The “spider story” mentioned in the passage is used to show that _.Aonly failure can lead you to successBwe can make it if we keep tryingCfailure is always terribleDpeople who fail have the same experience37 . The underlined phrase “bear in mind” in the last paragraph means _.Atake careBforgetCrecognizeDremember38 . The writer tells us to do all the things when dealing with failure except _.Athinking about how it happenedBbelieving that we cant live happily if we failCconsidering failure as a part of lifeDchecking out whether our goals are right for the present situation39 . The main idea of this passage is _.Awhat the value of failure isBthat Edison and Bruce failed repeatedly before successCwhat failure is and how to deal with failureDfailure may be considered as a way towards success四、用所给单词的正确形式填空(B) 根据句意，写出括号内所给单词的适当形式。40 .
