11.There are many American expressions about insects-like bees,for example.Bees are known as very hare workers.They appear to be busy.moving around their homes,or hives.So you might say you were as busy as a bee if you spent your weekend cleaning your house.In fact.you might say your house was a beehive of activity it your whole family was helping you clean.You also might say you made a beeline for something it you went there right away.When we go to see a movie,my friend always makes a beeline for the place where they sell popcorn.
Here is an expression about bees that is not used much any more.but we like it anyway.We think it was first used in the 1920s.If something was tile best of its kind,you might say it is the bee's knees.Now.we admit that we do not know how this expression developed.In fact.we do not even know if bees have knees!
If your friend cannot stop talking about something because she thinks it is important,you might say she has a bee ill her bonnet (女帽).If someone asks you a personal question,you might say"that is none of your beeswax.This means none of your business.
Speaking of personal questions,there is an expression when their children ask,"Where do babies come from?"Parents who discuss sex and reproduction say this is talking about the birds and bees.
Butterflies are beautiful insects,but you would not want to have butterflies in your stomach.That means to be nervous about having to do something,like speaking in front of a crowd.You would also not want to have ants in your trousers.That is,to be unable to sit still.

1.I was brought up in the British,stiff upper lip style.Strong feelings aren't something you display in public.So,you can imagine that I was unprepared for the outpouring of public grief (悲伤) at a Chinese funeral.
My editorial team leader died recently after a short illness.He was 31.The news was so unexpected that it left us all shocked and upset.A female colleague burst into tears and cried piteously at her desk.Somehow we got through the day's work.The next day was the funeral.
Our big boss stepped forward to deliver a eulogy and was soon in tears.She carried on,in Chinese of course,but at the end said in English:"There will be no more deadlines for you in heaven."Next came a long-term colleague who also dissolved in tears but carried on with her speech despite being almost overcome by emotion.Then a close friend of the dead man paid tribute (哀悼),weeping openly as he spoke.Sorrow is spreading.Men and women were now sobbing uncontrollably.Finally,the man's mother,supported between two women,addressed her son in his coffin.At one point,the mother almost collapsed and had to be held up.We were invited to step forward to each lay a white rose on the casket.Our dead colleague looked as if he was taking a nap.At the end of the service I walked away from the funeral parlor stunned at the outpouring of emotion.
In the UK,families grieve privately and then try to hold it together and not break down at a funeral.Here in China it would seem that grieving is a public affair.It strikes me that it is more cathartic to cry your eyes out than try to keep it bottled up for fear of embarrassment,which is what many of us do in the West.
Afterwards,a Chinese colleague told me that the lamenting at the funeral had been restrained (克制) by Chinese standards.In some rural areas,she said,people used to be paid to mourn noisily.This struck me like something out of novel by Charles Dickens.But we have all seen on TV scenes of grief-stricken people in Gaza and the West Bank,in Afghanistan,Iraq and the relatives of victims of terrorist bombings around the world.Chinese grief is no different.I realized that it's the reserved British way of mourning that is out of step with the rest of the world.
It was our newspaper's production day.We were bussed back to the office to resume work.No more deadlines for our former colleague,but we had to pull together to put the newspaper to print.The boss invited the team to go out for dinner after work.We relaxed,smiled,joked.There was no mention of the funeral or our poor colleague.Enough sorrow had been shed already.We needed a break.

41.The underlined words"stiff upper lip style"mean"C".
A.cold-blooded   B.warm-hearted   C.self-controlled   D.light-hearted
42.At the funeral,D.
A.five individuals made speeches   B.the boss's speech was best thought of  
C.everyone was crying out loudly   D.the writer was astonished by the scene
43.According to the writer,people in the WestB.
A.are not willing to be sad for the dead      
B.prefer to control their sadness in public  
C.cry their eyes out at the public funeral   
D.have better way to express sadness
44.It is implied thatA.
A.the English might cry noisily for the dead in Dickens'time
B.Chinese express their sadness quite unlike other peoples
C.victims of terrorist bombings should be greatly honored
D.English funeral culture is more civilized than the others
45.This passage talks mainly aboutD.

2.When teenagers begin looking for new survey sites,they go in the wrong direction.Because of this,95% of you will end/up joining some of the lowest paying places you could imagine.A simple fix (解决方法)for this is to change how you"look"for surveys.
 The-web will never lack teenagers survey sites.New ones are appearing rapidly,which is also the problem.So many of them are flying onto the web and about all of them are paying very low amounts for their surveys.The problem is that most people can't find the better paying ones that open up because they still try to use a search engine to locate the best places.
 All you get now are teenagers survey sites that might be flashy,but have very low payments.The quick fix is to use the power of large forums.It's your instant and total source of honest knowledge about surveys.That's right.I said"honest",which is really hard to find when it comes to surveys.Big forums have tons of it,though,because they hate spam (垃圾由P 件)and take all of it out of their topics.
 They also clear up the false or misleading information that people leave.
 That,s the huge reason why they work so well.Besides this,the archive (档案) section of a large forum is full of topics about surveys.You can rank all of them up,which is exactly what you need to do.You will see which are the teenagers survey sites other boys and girls are.making the most cash with and where they are not.You get a very nice list of top dollar places this way.

19.Hearing aids today are so small that sometimes you cannot even see them.They can even be part of the frames of a person's glasses.These hearing aids work very much like transistor radios,powered by very tiny batteries.The hearing aid is a wonderful invention that can help a deaf person to hear again.Soon it will be as common for people to wear hearing aids to help them to hear as it is for people to wear glasses to help them to see.
At one time,there was a shame attached to wearing a hearing aid.But this was once true of glasses,too. Today three out of every ten school children wear glasses,and many more people wear glasses as they grow older.The hearing aids is becoming equally well-accepted,for modern hearing aids are wonderfully efficient,available in many styles,and can be fitted to help almost all types of hearing losses.
Hearing aids come in two basic types:air conduction,worn directly in the ear,transmitting (传送)vibrations (振动) through the eardrum (耳鼓),and bone conduction,which transmit vibrations through the mastoid(乳头状的) bone behind the ear directly to the nerve endings of inner ear.The discovery of a new electronic miracle,known as the transistor,has made it possible to produce hearing aids so small and
so light that they can be worn directly in the outer ear or in the frames of eyeglasses.
Children under five will accept and use a hearing aid eagerly,for it is like a toy to them.If a child has hearing difficulties,parents should act immediately,in accordance with the child's needs.

B.Hearing aids will help people see more clearly soon.
C.Hearing aids can help children under five improve their reading.
D.Hearing aids can make the parents understand what their children need.
68.How does a hearing aid work?B
A.It's powered by sun batteries.           B.It's powered by tiny batteries.
C.Both A and B.                            D.Not mentioned.
69.What are the two basic types?A
A.Bone conduction and air conduction.
B.Air conduction and inner ear conduction.
C.Bone conduction and inner ear conduction.
D.Air conduction and transmitting vibration conduction.
70.Which is not the reason of hearing aid becoming equally well-accepted?C
A.You can get hearing aids in many styles.
B.Modern hearing aids are wonderfully efficient.
C.It can be placed to the nerve endings of the inner ear.
D.It can be fitted to help almost all types of hearing losses.

6.Singing are the pupils of the remote Beau-Roc primary school in Haiti.One of them plays a guitar made from an empty oil tin.Their headmistress,Emile Jean-Noel,is one of the few women school principals in the country.
Over 70% of Haitian population live below the poverty line with inadequate food,water,schools,or housing.To reduce the hunger that prevents learning and to encourage parents to send their children to school,meals are provided by the World Food Programme.
"We are so cut off we have many difficulties,"comments Emile,adding that finding chalk,school books and other materials is practically impossible.Emile tries to encourage those around her to make use of all available resources.Her efforts are bearing fruit.One of her successes was convincing local women to contribute to their children's schooling and increase their own income by selling embroidery (刺绣) and other handicrafts.
Recent political instability has meant that the country has not invested in education for ten years.Enrolment (入学) is a mere 44per cent and a little less than a half of those entering primary school finish it.Less than a third of these go on to secondary school.In rural areas it is not rare to find 17-and 18year-olds in primary school.Beau-Roc has only 4teachers for 260pupils.Emile works constantly to improve her pupils'environment.Under her direction,a local worker is now constructing a storehouse for the food delivered regularly by the World Food Programme.
Not only is Emile's salary too little,but she receives it irregularly.For her,transport is a real headache.She lives five kilometers away and has to take a privately-owned bus,costing more than she can afford.
"The decision to be a rural teacher in Haiti should not be taken lightly",Emile comments."With all the sacrifices and risks it requires,only those who are really cut out for teaching should do it."Nevertheless,Emile loves her job."I always feel at home with the children and,the parents understand what I'm doing."

51.What theme is presented in this passage?A
A.Devotion to education.        B.Poverty and hardship.
C.Politics and children.        D.Love and beauty.
52.Which of the following is extremely difficult for Beau-Roc primary school?D
A.Teaching the women how to make embroidery and other handicrafts.
B.Persuading local women to care about their children's education.
C.Encouraging those around her to use those available resources.
D.Finding chalk,school books and other materials.
53.The many figures in the 4th paragraph indicateB.
A.political instability in Haiti
B.poor investment in Haitian education
C.challenges in Emile's life
D.Emile's constant efforts
54.In the last paragraph,"those who are really cut out for teaching"are those who areC.
A.dismissed from teaching
B.unfamiliar with teaching
C.qualified for teaching
D.cautious about teaching.

20.Cold weather has a great effect,on how our minds and our bodies work.Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word"cold".For centuries,the body's blood has been linked closely with the emotions.People who show no human emotions or feelings,for example,are said to be cold-blooded.Cold-blooded people act in a merciless way.They may do brutal things to others,and not by accident.For example,a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer.The killer murdered someone,not in self-defense.He seemed to kill with no emotion.
Cold can affect other parts of 1he body,the feet,for example.Heavy socks can warm your feet,if your feet are really cold.But there is an expression-to get cold feet-that has nothing to do with cold or your feet.The expression means being afraid to do something you had decided to do.For example,you agree to be president of an organization.But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned.All the work of the organization will be your responsibility.You are likely to gel cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.
Cold can also affect your shoulder.You"give someone the cold shoulder"when you refuse to speak to them.You treat them in a distant,cold way.The expression probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone,instead of speaking to him face-to-face.You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise:he made to you.Or,to someone who has lied about you to others.
"A cold fish"is not a fish.It if a person.But it is a person who is unfriendly,unemotional and show no love or warmth.A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.
"Out in the cold"is an expression often heard.It means not getting something that everybody else got.A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise.He was left out in the cold.And it is not a pleasant place to be.

67.The text is intended to tell us thatC.
A.cold weather has a great.effect on human bodies
B."cold"is a word closely linked with human emotions
C.many English expressions contain the word"cold"
D.the word"cold"has many different meanings in English
68.The underlined word"brutal"in paragraph 1most probably meansA.
A.Cold-blooded.     B.illegal       C.impolite      D.extreme
69.Which phrase can best describe a person who is unwilling to offer anything to others?C
A.cruel                  B.To get cold feet.
C.A cold fish.          D.A cold shoulder.
70.If the teacher gives all the boys except Tom a pen as a prize,you can say heD.
A.is given the cold shoulder             B.is punished by a cold fish
C.has got cold feet                      D.is left out in the cold.
