    17．Expressions about water are almost as common as water itself．But many of the expressions using water have unpleasant meanings．
    The expression"to be in hot water"is one of them．It is a very old expression．"Hot water"was used 500years ago to mean being in trouble．One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle．
    That no longer happens．But we still get in"hot water"．When we are in"hot water"，we are in trouble．It can be any kind of trouble-serious or not so serious．A person who breaks a law can be in hot water with the police．A young boy can be in hot water with his mother．if he walks in the house with dirty shoes．
    Being in"deep water"is almost the same as being in hot water．When you are in deep water，you are in a difficult position．Imagine a person who cannot swim being thrown in water over his head．
    You are in deep water when you are facing a problem that you do not have the ability to solve．The problem is too deep．You can be in deep water，for example，if you invest in stocks without knowing anything about the stock market．
    "To keep your head above water"is a colorful expression that means staying out of debt．A company seeks to keep its head above water during economic hard times．A man who loses his job tries to keep his head above water until he finds a new job．
    "Water over the dam"is another expression about a past event．It is something that is finished．It cannot be changed．The expression comes from the idea that water that has flowed over a dam cannot be brought back again．

    60．Which of the following two expressions have almost the same meaning？A
    A．To be in hot water；To be in deep water．
    B．To be in hot water；To keep your head above water．
    C．To be in deep water；Water over the dam．
    D．Water over the dam；To be in hot water．
    61．If a person tries to keep his head out of water，we can say thatD．
    A．he is in danger of losing his life
    B．he is trying to pay off his debt
    C．he is trying to keep his promise
    D．he is trying not to get into debt
    62．What can you infer from the passage？C
    A．"To be in hot water"can only be used to mention serious trouble．
    B．"Water over the dam"is an expression about a future event．
    C．Water could be used in the war in the past．
    D．All of the expressions using water have unpleasant meanings．
    63．This passage is written mainly to tell usC．
    A．the use of water
    B．how to use some expressions about water
    C．expressions about water and their meanings
    D．expressions with negative meaning．

    18．The Galapagos Islands are in the Pacific Ocean，off the western coast of South America They are a rocky，lonely spot，but they are also one of the most unusual places in the world．One reason is that they are the home of some of the last giant tortoises（乌龟）left on earth．
         Weighing hundreds of pounds，these tortoises go slowly around the rocks and sand of the islands．Strangely，each of these islands has its own particular kinds of tortoises．There are seven different kinds of tortoises on the eight islands，and each kind is slightly different from the other．
         Hundreds of years ago，thousands of tortoises were around these islands．However，all that changed when people started landing there．When people first arrived in 1535，crews would seize as many tortoises as they could．They would roll the tortoises onto their backs when they were brought onto the ships．The tortoises were completely helpless once on their backs，so they could only lie there until used for soups and stews．Almost 100，000 tortoises were carried off in this way．
         The tortoises faced other problems，too．Soon after the first ships，settlers arrived，bringing pigs，goats，donkeys，dogs and cats．A11 0f these animals ruined life for the tortoises．Donkeys and goats ate all the plants that the tortoises usually fed on，while the pigs，dogs and cats ate thousands of baby tortoises each year．Within a few years，it was hard to find any tortoise eggs-or even any baby tortoises．
         Finally，in the 1950s，scientists decided that something must be done．The first part of their plan was to remove as many cats，dogs and other animals as they could from the islands．Next，they tried to make sure that more baby tortoises would be born； This slow，hard work continues today，and，thanks to it，the number of tortoises is now increasing every year．Perhaps these wonderful animals will not disappear after all

    15．While many Chinese overseas artists are switching to other more profitable fields，Huang Shanye，a painter of the Zhuang ethnic group，stands out as an exception．His art has gradually earned him fame over the course of his more than 20 years in the United States．He was even able to leave behind his steady job as an art teacher and fully devote himself to what he describes as a pursuit（追求） of beauty．
    The common theme of Huang's many works lies in the combination of traditional Chinese elements and Western painting techniques．"I apply Chinese calligraphy（书法），paper cutting，facial makeup of Peking Opera--all the things that I can find in traditional Chinese culture--to Western oil painting，"Huang said at an exhibition held recently in his home county of Montgomery，Maryland in the US，where friends and neighbors had come to view some of his work．
    One of Huang's works in the show，which had been featured on the exhibition's flier（广告传单），served as a good example．Titled In Harmony，the painting shows two green dragons facing one another on a golden plate--a characteristic of Chinese tradition．Huang decorated the surface with the words"peace"and"dragon"，both in Chinese and in English．Michele Cohen，director of the Betty Mae Kramer Gallery，pointing to Huang's In Harmony，says："I think this work really shows how an artist can combine one tradition with another，and it really comes out in a mixed form．"
    In 1998，American composer Silas Huff met Huang at an exhibition and was moved by Huang's sketch Tapestry of Dreams，which was later realized into a large-scale work consisting of a dozen 1-by-1-meter panels of paintings describing the traditions and longings of Huang's people．
    Inspired by the work，Huff composed a 25-minute symphony（交响乐），Spring Song Festival，made up of Chinese folk melodies．Ten years later when Huff and Huang reconnected，Huff was able to bring two ballet schools on board and create a ballet based on the symphony．The work was performed at LaGuardia Performing Art Center in New York in the spring of 2009，with Huang's Tapestry of Dreams as a background．
    64．What is the theme of Huang's many works？A
    A．The combination of traditional Chinese elements and Western painting techniques．
    B．The difference between traditional Chinese elements and Western painting techniques．
    C．The advantages of traditional Chinese elements and Western painting techniques．
    D．The disadvantages of traditional Chinese elements and Western painting techniques．
    65．We can inferC．
    A．Huff composed a 25-minute symphony，Spring Song Festival after he arrived in China．
    B．Huff composed a 25-minute symphony，Spring Song Festival because he graduated in China．
    C．Huff composed a 25-minute symphony，Spring Song Festival，because of Huang's work．
    D．Huff composed a 25-minute symphony，Spring Song Festival because of money．
    66．Which is the best title of the passage？A
    A．A Pursuit of Beauty
    B．The Life of an Artist
    C．True Friends
    D．The Differences of Art
    67．Michele Cohen，director of the Betty Mae Kramer Gallery，A．
    A．thinks highly of Huang's In Harmony．
    B．pays no attention to Huang's In Harmony．
    C．wants to buy Huang's In Harmony．
    D．criticizes Huang's In Harmony．

    2．We had been living our valley for sixteen months when we first realized the dangers that could exist．It was the year when the storms came early，before the calendar even hinted at winter，even before November was out．（71）GSoon snow began to fall．Within a day it lay some 15 centimeters deep．It almost completely blocked our lane and made the streamside path slippery and dangerous．But on the neighboring heights the snow was much deeper and stayed for longer．Up there the wind blasted fiercely．Deeply in our valley we felt only sudden gusts of wind：trees swayed but the branches held firm．
    And yet we knew that there was reason for us to worry．The snow and wind were certainly inconvenient but they did not really trouble us greatly（72）B．It reminded us of what could have occurred if circumstances had been different，if the flow of water from the hills had not，many years before，been controlled，held back by a series of dams．（73）C
    Day after day，we watched furious clouds pile up high over the hills to the west．Sinister grey clouds extended over the valleys．They twisted and turned，rising eastwards and upwards，warning of what was to come．We had seen enough of the sky； now we began to watch the river，which every day was becoming fuller and wilder．
    The river seemed maddened as the waters poured almost horizontally down to its lower stretches．（74）DIt was far deeper than we'd ever seen it so near our home，lunging furiously at its banks．For three days we prayed that it would stay below its wall（75）E．

    A．It was the river，the Ryburn，which normally flowed so gently，that threatened us most．
    B．The great power of all this water prevents us from believing ourselves to be completely safe in our home．
    C．In a short time the snow started to melt．
    D．Just a couple of meters from our cottage，the stream seemed wild beneath the bridge．
    E．Our prayer were answered as the dam held and the waters began to subside．
    F．They grew so strong that we couldn't control it．
    G．Until then，we had felt safe and sheltered in our valley．

    12．Agatha Christie used to go out at night．She will never forget the night when she met a robber many years ago．
    That evening，she was invited to a birthday party which lasted till 2o'clock in the morning．Without company，Agatha walked home along the quiet street．Suddenly from the shadow of a dark building，a tall man with a sharp knife in his right hand ran out at her．"Good morning，lady，"the man said in a low voice，"I don't think you wish to die here!""What do you want？"Agatha asked．
    "Your earrings （耳环）．Take them off!"Agatha suddenly had a bright idea．She tried to cover her necklace with the collar （衣领） of her overcoat while she used the other hand to take off  both of her earrings，and then she quickly threw them on the ground．
    "Take them and let me go．"she said．The robber was uncertain．He saw that the girl didn't care for the earrings at all，only trying to protect the necklace．He realized the necklace would cost more，so he said，"Give me your necklace．"

    17．It never occurred to anybody，not even the creators that the world would care about the complex lives，loves and sufferings of a group of attractive and witty New Yorkers．But there's no doubt that Friends（老友记）has become more than just a successful situation comedy-it has established itself as one of the last great television phenomena of the last century．Along the way，it has made its half-dozen leading actors famous．
    Looking back on the strong friendship between the group of three men and three women who frequently gather at each other's apartments and at Greenwich Village's Central Perk coffee house，Friends was created by television producers，David Crane and Marta Kauffman．In 1993，the pair met producer Kevin S．Bright．Then the three became partners and got a deal to produce a new comedy for Warner Brothers．What they came up with was based on Crane and Kauffman's after-college years，when they hung out at the local coffee house and involved themselves in every aspect of each other's lives．
    It didn't take long for viewers to make friends with Friends．The situation comedy quickly became a top ten hit．Critics loved it as well．Entertainment Weekly said the show operated like a Broadway show，with twisty plots and unique jokes．
    The television theme song has also been a success with the public．The song's success helped save the television theme song．An ABC（美国广播公司）executive was ready to order very short music intros（前奏） on his network's shows，thinking that viewers would hit the remote control as soon as the opening started．But the success of the Friends theme song led the ABC executive to change his mind--remote controls or not，the TV theme song would stay．
    Years have gone by，but Friends remains and will remain an example of a modern US situation comedy that is both hugely entertaining television and nothing short of a genuine latter-day social phenomenon．

    28．What is stressed in the second paragraph？A
    A．The origin of Friends．
    B．The role models of Friends．
    C．The popularity of Friends．
    D．The brilliance of Friends．
    29．Which of the following is TRUE about Friends？D
    A．It has a simple but entertaining plot．
    B．It is about friendship between college students．
    C．It was criticized by Entertainment Weekly．
    D．It first came into being in the 1990s．
    30．What can we learn from the passage？C
    A．Producer，Kevin S．Bright，graduated from the same college as David Crane．
    B．ABC once replaced the theme song of its TV show with a short music intro．
    C．The ABC executive thought highly of the theme song of Friends．
    D．Marta Kauffman expected Friends to achieve great success．
    31．What might the author think of Friends？D
    A．Its merits outweigh its shortcomings．
    B．Its success lies in the lack of good situation comedies．
    C．He/she has a reserved attitude towards its success．
    D．He/she shows great affection towards it．
