【题目】阅读理解
I was asked in an email about learning idioms in a foreign language. Maybe I am different from most people,but I do not bother with them. To me they are kind of dessert of language learning. They come at the end of a meal. Once you have filled up with the key words and phrases that are used in a variety of situations,then you can add a few idioms. And by that time, you will be able to pick them up naturally anyway.
I find that many learners have trouble with idioms,as if repeating some very colloquial expressions is going to upgrade how they sound in a language. In fact, it is the opposite. Idioms are difficult to use correctly.
Yes,occasionally you hear idioms and do not understand. But,in my experience,there are always situations where you do not understand. It is best to focus on the most important words,what they mean and how they are used. Certainly,it is best for a nonnative speaker to stick to standard speech.
Some teachers even try to teach the “real language”.Then you hear nonnative speakers saying things like “I goanna”, “You wane” etc.
You will learn all the idioms you need just by exposing yourself to the language. In general,you can save any phrase that you find interesting,and if that includes idioms,go to it. But I would not make any special effort to go after idioms. I,in fact,avoid them. If I come across something in Russian that strikes me as a particularly idiomatic use of words,I just leave it aside; do not even bother trying to learn it. If it keeps on appearing,then I will learn it.
(1)In the writer's opinion,when one learns a new language,one should learn its idioms ________.
A.at the beginning
B.on one's own
C.in the end
D.without help
(2)The underlined word “colloquial” in Para.2 means “________”.
A.oral
B.informal
C.formal
D.written
(3)It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A.idioms are the most important part in a language
B.the writer is not very willing to use idioms
C.nonnative speakers should learn more idioms
D.there are no ways to master idioms
(4)How did the writer develop the passage?
A.By inferring.
B.By comparing.
C.By listing examples.
D.By giving explanations.
【答案】
(1)C
(2)A
(3)B
(4)D
【解析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍如何学习一门外语的方法。
(1)考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“To me they are kind of...They come at the end of a meal.”可知,故选C。
(2)考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的“upgrade how they sound in a language,”特别是sound一词可知colloquial 的意思是“口语的”,故A项符合语境,故选A。
(3)考查推理判断。从第一段提到的最后学idioms和最后一段中的“I would not...go after idioms,avoid them(idioms)及be reluctant to try to use it ”可知答案为B。
(4)考查推理判断。纵观全文可知,作者是通过逐段解释与说理来展开文章的,故D项正确。

【题目】In 1938 Portugal held a national competition to identify the country's most 'Portuguese” Village. Sticking to a rocky promontory(海角)far above the Beira Baixa plains, Monsanto is easily the most impressive. So it came out on top.
Cottages, a lot of which are made of very large round rocks, seem to grow out of the mountain itself. Above them rises a stone fortress(城堡), parts of which predate even the arrival of the Moors. And views across the plains are, simply put, astonishing.
Since being honored as the most Portuguese village, Monsanto has reminded largely separated from modernization. These days, goats and chickens seem to outnumber humans in the village. Most young people leave for large cities and the growing investment in the area’s heritage (遗产)has not encouraged more attractions for the younger generation. Tourists walking along the village's tiny streets can see elderly women walking and chatting in doorways.
Several houses near the village entrance are surprisingly grand. Halfway to the castle you'll come across the gruta, a cozy cave apparently once used as a pub …and still used as such. This stone fortress seems almost to have grown out of the hillside that supports it. It’s a wonderfully beautiful site, populated by wildflowers.
Alter Dom Sancho I drove out the Moors in the 12th century, the fortress was strengthened. Dom Dinis improved it, but after centuries of attacks from across the border it finally fell into ruin. Just below the entrance is a public square. To the right is a ruined Renaissance church and bell tower.
On 3 May Monsanto comes alive in the Festa das Cruzes, remembering a siege(围困)in the Middle Ages. The story goes that the starving villagers threw their Iasi lonely cow over the walls, making their enemies believe they had plenty of food, because they immediately abandoned the siege. These days, young girls throw baskets of flowers instead, after which there's dancing and singing beside the castle wall.
【1】What is Monsanto like today?
A. It has a lot of farms. B. Its youth love farming.
C. Its population is falling. D. It has become more modern.
【2】Why did the enemies end the siege?
A. They felt hungry. B. They were tricked.
C. They were attacked. D. They feared the cow.
【3】What do we know about the fortress?
A. It has long been used as a pub.
B. It was first constructed by Dom Dinis.
C. There is celebration every May beside it.
D. You have to go through it to enter the village.
【4】What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A. To discuss rural life in Portugal.
B. To report a national competition.
C. To explain the history of the Portugal.
D. To introduce a unique ancient village.
