For those of you who dont know, an idiom is a phrase which has a meaning, but the meaning is not clear from the words themselves. If you translate an i

3、diom word for word, it sometimes makes no sense at all. They are like puzzles and even native speakers can get confused when someone uses a phrase that theyve never heard of.With that in mind, here are five common English idioms that you can use in a variety of Situations.1Get your act together (Mea

4、ning: you need to improve your behaviour/work)This might be something your teacher says to you if you score badly in an exam or if you misbehave in class. You can also use it to talk about people in general. For example, if your friend is being mean or nasty for no reason, then you can tell them tha

5、t they need to get their act together.2Pull yourself together (Meaning: calm down)This is a somewhat impolite way of telling someone that they are overreacting and that they need to relax. Only use this if you think the person you are speaking to is getting upset over something insignificant. If you

6、r friend tells you that their close relative has died, it is NOT the time to tell them to pull themselves together.3Im feeling under the weather (Meaning: Im sick)Yes, its longer and more difficult to say than Im sick, but if your English teacher asks you why you havent done your homework, he or she

7、 is more likely to forgive you if you say that you were feeling under the weather. You may not have done your English homework, but your teacher might be impressed that you know how to make eloquent excuses in a foreign language.4Its a piece of cake (Meaning: its easy)I dont know why this means what

8、 it does, but sometimes you just have to accept that English people use weird phrases. 5Break a leg (Meaning: good luck!) This is perhaps one of the most confusing yet well-known English idioms. If someone says this to you, do not take offence or think they are threatening you; they are just wishing

9、 you luck. It is most often used for people wishing success to actors and actresses before they perform on the stage, but it can be said in other situations, too.All in all, learning a new language can be challenging. Its definitely not a piece of cake, especially when there are so many confusing id

10、ioms. However, with enough hard work and interest, you will succeed in no time. Break a leg!lWhich idiom is proper for you to say to your worried classmate who is to take part in the 800-metre race at the school sports meet?AGet your act together. BPull yourself together. CBreak a leg. DIts a piece

11、of cake.2How should you respond when you hear your deskmate say, I am feeling under the weather. AWhats wrong with you? BDont worry. Lets call 120. CGet up and finish your homework. DWhy dont you take an umbrella with you?3According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about idioms? AThey

12、sometimes make no sense at all. BNative speakers have trouble understanding idioms sometimes. CIdioms are the hardest part of learning a language. DWe can guess the meaning of an idiom from the words in it.BI spend half of my life with my mother and the other half with my father. My father lives wit

13、h a twenty-pound cat named Tofu. He calls me his favorite daughter. I am an only child. My fathers apartment is quite different from any other persons living space. Except for my room, there is no furniture. He doesnt like sofas or any comfortable chairs, so he has only a drawing table, a desk and h

Then he does yoga He has a big kitchen, and on top of the refrigerator is an old clock he winds every week for good luck. The last time the clock stopped, my fathers car was towed(被警察拖走) and some other terrible

15、things happened, so he has become very superstitious (迷信的) . When he goes out of town, he hires someone to feed Tofu and wind the clock so it wont stop. The one thing he has plenty of is house rules. You have to take off your shoes when you come in. He wont allow anyone who wears a baseball cap into

16、 his house. He says only baseball players should wear baseball caps and only the catchers should wear them backward. Every time I go to stay in his house, he makes up a new rule. “House rule number 579, no television programs with laugh tracks！”he will say. But then be can never remember the numbers

17、, so they change constantly.The rule that he always enforces is the one that requires me to write a two-page essay anytime I want something. He didnt speak English until he was sixteen, and he had a hard time learning to write it, so he wants me to become a good writer at an early age. This ritual（仪

18、式）started when I asked him if I could have my ears pierced when I was nine. He said it was very cruel and told me I couldnt do it until I was thirty-five. But l kept asking him, and he finally said that if I wrote an essay and I could persuade him in writing why I wanted holes in my ears, maybe he w

19、ould say okay.

22、n Nanjing, Jiangsu province，has installed facial recognition systems in classrooms to monitor students behavior, sparking a heated debate online. China Pharmaceutical University recently installed the systems in two pilot classrooms as well as school gates, dormitory entrances, the library and labor

23、atory buildings.Xu Jianzhen，director of the universitys library and information center, told TbeP that the systems will help teachers check student attendance and monitor behavior during the lectures. In the past, some students just checked their attendance and ditched the class or asked other stude

24、nts to check the attendance for them. Now with facial recognition, that would no longer be a problem, be said. The moment you enter the classroom, the camera will monitor you all the way through and can tell how long you lower your head, whether youre playing with a smart phone, whether youre dozing

25、 off or reading other books, he added.The news has raised wide debate on Chinese social media, with many questioning if the cameras will violate students privacy. A Sina Weibo user said: I oppose such methods, and it is not clear whether the systems are developed by the school itself or by third par

26、ties. If it is the latter, is there any regulation of security? Where will the information be sent and stored?Gan Xiangsi, a senior student from the university, said she welcomed the systems being applied in dormitories and libraries as this can help prevent personal belongings being stolen，but it i

27、s not necessary to use such technology in the classroom. If the teacher teaches well，the students will be interested, she said. On the contrary, this kind of monitoring will make everyone feel resistant.China Pharmaceutical University is not the first university to use facial recognition technology

28、on campus. Many universities across the country have installed cameras at campus entrances to ensure safety. But many are also hesitant when it comes to applying such technology in classrooms.This issue has been debated for quite a long time, Chu Zhaohui, a senior researcher at the National Institut

29、e of Education Sciences, told China National Radio. According to Chu, teachers and students who are under observation might not behave as they normally would since they know they are being watched. Cameras should not be installed in classrooms merely for effective teaching purposes, Chu said, as tea

30、chers are also being observed. He agreed that students privacy needs to be protected. He also said that not putting classrooms under control is an important principle. “If you dont follow this principle, students will falsify and disguise their state of listening，and teachers may also not perform as

31、 well. Then real teaching will not occur, he added.8Which of the following is NOT the function of facial recognition systems?ATo help check student attendance. BTo help monitor student behavior. CTo help ensure student safety. DTo help protect student privacy9 What does the underlined word ditch in

32、paragraph 2 mean?Aabandon Battend Cdislike Denjoy10Whats Chu Zhaohuis attitude towards installing cameras in classrooms?Afavorable Bindifferent Cunfavorable Dneutral11Whats the writers purpose of writing this passage? ATo introduce the function of facial recognition systems. BTo express his preferen

33、ce for facial recognition systems. CTo express his strong dislike for facial recognition systems. DTo introduce peoples different attitudes to facial recognition systems.DIf you love eating and drinking for free and are looking to make some pocket money, theres a job in China with your name on it. A

34、 new type of online service allows people to hire others to eat or drink their favorite treats, either to cure their boredom or satisfy their appetite without the calories that usually come with it.Chinese media recently reported on an increasingly popular service on online platform Taobao thats as

35、startling as it is appealing. People can now go online and hire others to consume certain foods and drinks, and ask them to provide video evidence of them eating or drinking the said treats. Fees usually range from two to nine yuan ($0.30 - $1.35) plus the cost of the food. Its not exactly a get-ric

36、h-quick job, but there are quite a rot of people willing to do it for the free treats alone. “Bubble tea drinking is a particularly popular service, as the chewy tapioca(木薯粉)balls and popping drink is all the rage in Asia these days, but there are also ads from people willing to eat fried chicken or

37、 hot pot for anyone willing to pay for them.Advertised as being fat-free and free of queues, those who pay for the service will receive the full experience, which includes a 360-degree video of the drink, photos, and a detailed description. Prices of the service are based on the drinks sweetness lev

38、el, its price, and popularity. Some clients even require a short written review to be sure that the person they hired actually does what they are supposed to. Sellers explained that most customers buy their Bubble tea drinking service maybe because theyre trying to shake off desires while theyre on

39、a diet. Drinking bubble tea by proxy may help customers avoid high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and other health problems that the sugar-laden drink may cause. So why would anyone pay a total stranger to enjoy a treat rather than consume it themselves? Well, apparently, the online service is so

40、 cheap that some people simply do it out of boredom, while others get satisfaction from watching others indulge in their favorite treats. This indulging-by-proxy service（代享受服务）has received a lot of attention on social media in China, with some people describing it as the job of their dreams.12What k

42、 can make a fortune. BThat the foods and drinks are cheap. CThat they can consume the treats for free. DThat they can realize their dreams.14Why does the author mention bubble tea drinking in Paragraph 4? ATo prove that the new type of service online is popular. BTo list an example of the new type o

43、f service online CTo show bubble tea is greatly welcome in Asia. DTo promote the new type of service online.15What is the main idea of the passage? AIndulging-by-proxy service online helps lose weight. BBoredom leads to indulging-by-proxy service online. CPeople hold different opinions on indulging-

44、by-proxy service online. DIndulging-by-proxy service online is getting increasingly popular.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两个选项为多余选项。Even if you love fish, actually cooking it in your kitchen can be a commitment.
