I found some interesting information. In the 1500s most people in Scotland got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May and still smelled clean for a month. However, in case the“freshness” had disappeared brides(新娘)would carry bouquets of flowers to hide their body odour(体臭). The yearly bath was taken in a big tub filled with hot water and the first bath was taken by the man of the house. Other men in the house then took their baths in the same water, followed by the women. Babies were the last to be washed and then the water was so dirty that you couldnt see the bottom of the tub, hence the saying“dont throw the baby out with the bath water”. Wouldnt it have made more sense to wash babies first, followed by women and then men who were dirty after working in the fields?Most people lived in a little cottage with a dirt floor while more wealthy people had slate(石板)floors, hence the saying“dirt poor”. The slate floors would get slippery in the winter or wet so they were spread with thresh(麦秆). When the door was opened the thresh would start slipping outside. So a piece of wood was placed in the entrance way and that is why we call the step into a house the threshold. In the 1500s in Scotland poor people lived on vegetables. Pork was hard to get, so if guests arrived and saw a slice of bacon(腊肉)hanging up, they would think the host could“bring home the bacon”. The host would cut off some to share with guests and all sat around“chewing the fat”. 【语篇概述】在英语的学习中, 谚语是我们经常遇到的, 本文就介绍了一些谚语的由来, 阅读本文了解一下吧。5. Why did most people get married in June in the 1500s in Scotland?A. Because they still smelled clean by then. B. Because June was the best time of the year. C. Because brides could get fresh flowers in June. D. Because they had to take a bath before marriage. 【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据文章第二段的内容可知, 在16世纪, 苏格兰人一般在五月份洗澡, 在之后的一个月内仍能保持清新的体香, 所以人们大都选择在六月份结婚。6. Which of the following was a sign of wealth in the 1500s in Scotland?A. Slates. B. Thresh. C. Vegetables. D. Bacon. 【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的内容可知, 在16世纪的苏格兰, 普通人吃不起肉, 而有一片腊肉就是财富的象征了。7. What can be used to describe a man who can support his family?A. He is dirt poor. B. He is chewing the fat. C. He could bring home the bacon. D. He throws the baby out with the bath water. 【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的内容可以推测出bring home the bacon可用来形容一个人有能力养家糊口。根据文章内容也可排除其他选项; dont throw the baby out with the bath water意为“不要因小失大”; dirt poor意为“很穷”; chew the fat意为“聊天”。8. The author writes the passage mainly to_. A. tell some interesting storiesB. introduce some old traditionsC. give the meanings of some old sayingsD. explain how some old sayings came into being【解析】选D。主旨大意题。根据文章第一句以及后面几段所讲的几个谚语的来历可知, 本文主要告诉我们几句谚语的由来。.完形填空（2017浙江高考）Alia Baker is a librarian in Iraq.Her library used to be a 1 place for all who loved books and liked to share knowledge.They 2 various matters all over the world.When the war was near, Alia was 3 that the fires of war would destroy the books, which are more 4 to her than mountains of gold.The books are in every language new books, ancient books, 5 a book on the history of Iraq that is seven hundred years old.She had asked the government for 6 to move the books to a 7 place, but they refused.So Alia took matters into her own hands. 8 , she brought books home every night, 9 her car late after work.Her friends came to 10 her when the war broke out.Anis who owned a restaurant 11 to hide some books.All through the 12 , Alia, Anis, his brothers and neighbours took the books from the library, 13 them over the sevenfoot wall and 14 them in the restaurant.The books stayed hidden as the war 15 .Then nine days later, a fire burned the 16 to the ground.One day, the bombing stopped and the 17 left.But the war was not over yet.Alia knew that if the books were to be safe, they must be 18 again while the city was 19 .So she hired a truck to bring all the books to the houses of friends in the suburbs(郊区).Now Alia waited for the war to end and 20 peace and a new library.【语篇概述】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是艾莉雅是伊拉克图书馆的馆长，她担心战火会毁掉这些宝贵的图书，在遭到政府拒绝转移图书后，她在家人、朋友和邻居的帮助下，将图书全部转移到了安全的地方。1.A.meetingB.workingC.personalD.religious【解析】选A。逻辑推理题。根据后面的for all who loved books and liked to share knowledge可知，她的图书馆是那些喜爱读书且喜欢分享知识的人集会的地方。meeting集会，聚会，符合语境。2.A.raisedB.handledC.reportedD.discussed【解析】选D。词语辨析题。人们在图书馆相聚，讨论(discussed)世界上发生的各种事情。3.A.worriedB.angryC.doubtfulD.curious【解析】选A。逻辑推理题。根据前面的When the war was near 可知，艾莉雅担心战火会把这些图书毁掉。be worried that.担心。4.A.practicalB.preciousC.reliableD.expensive【解析】选B。词语辨析题。根据后面的to her than mountains of gold可知，艾莉雅认为这些图书比金山更要珍贵。precious珍贵的；practical实际的；reliable可靠的。5.A.thenB.stillC.evenD.rather【解析】选C。逻辑推理题。甚至有一本关于伊拉克历史的书已经有了七百年的历史。此处与前面的new books, ancient books在层次上是递进关系。even甚至。6.A.permissionB.confirmationC.explanationD.information【解析】选A。词语辨析题。她想转移图书需要获得政府的许可。permission许可，符合语境。confirmation确认；explanation解释；information信息，都与语境不符。7.A.largeB.publicC.distantD.safe【解析】选D。担心战火会把这些书毁掉，所以她想获得政府的许可，将书转移到安全(safe)的地方。8.A.FortunatelyB.SurprisinglyC.SeriouslyD.Secretly【解析】选D。词语辨析题。根据前面的but they refused 和后面的she brought books home every night可知，她是在秘密地转移这些图书。secretly秘密地，符合语境。9.A.startingB.parkingC.fillingD.testing【解析】选C。逻辑推理题。根据上下文语境可知，这里是她转移图书的方式。下班后，她的车里装满图书。fill装满。10.A.stopB.helpC.warnD.rescue【解析】选B。词语辨析题。战争爆发时，她的朋友都过来帮她转移图书。11.A.intendedB.pretendedC.happenedD.agreed【解析】选D。词语辨析题。根据上下文语境可知，她的朋友阿妮斯同意把图书藏在她的饭店里。agree to do.同意做某事。12.A.warB.nightC.buildingD.way【解析】选B。词汇复现题。根据前面的she brought books home every night可知，她们转移图书是在夜里。13.A.putB.openedC.passedD.threw【解析】选C。词语辨析题。根据后面的over the seven-foot wall可知，此处表示“越过七英尺高的墙”。pass越过，通过。throw扔，如此珍贵的图书不可能扔过去，很显然不符合语境。14.A.hidB.exchangedC.burntD.distributed【解析】选A。词汇复现题。根据上下文语境，特别是后面的The books stayed hidden可知，她们把图书藏在饭店里。15.A.approachedB.eruptedC.continuedD.ended【解析】选C。逻辑推理题。根据后面的But the war was not over yet可知，战争仍在继续。continue继续。16.A.restaurantB.libraryC.cityD.wall【解析】选B。词汇复现题。根据上下文语境，特别是后面的a new library可知，战火把原来的图书馆完全毁掉。17.A.neighboursB.soldiersC.friendsD.customers【解析】选B。逻辑推理题。根据前面的the bombing stopped可知，轰炸停止，士兵们离开了。18.A.soldB.readC.savedD.moved【解析】选D。逻辑推理题。根据后面的So she hired a truck to bring all the books to the houses of friends in the suburbs可知，她决定趁城市不再打仗时，再次转移这些图书。19.A.occupiedB.bombedC.quietD.busy【解析】选C。逻辑推理题。轰炸停止，士兵们离开了，所以城市应该安静下来。20.A.dreamed ofB.believed inC.cared aboutD.looked for【解析】选A。词语辨析题。她等待战争的结束，期望和平的到来。dream of梦想，符合语境。. 短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文, 请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误, 每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(), 并在其下面写出该加的词。删除:把多余的词用斜线()画掉。修改:在错的词下画一横线, 并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意:1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词; 2. 只允许修改10处, 多者(从第11处起)不计分。Our school newspaper is looking for a editor for its English edition.
