解析
小题1:根据文中第一句话“A young man was walking through a supermarket to pick up a few things…”可知这位年轻人去买东西。故选A。 小题1:从第二段的第一句话“Finally, he went to the check-out line, but the old lady got in front of him.”可得知选C。 小题1:根据倒数第二段的内容,那位女士在收银台让这个年轻人给她叫母亲,离开的时候没有付款,而是让年轻人替他付款,让收银员误认为她真是他的母亲。所以这位女士不是一个诚实的人,故选B。 小题1:通过倒数第二段中“he saw that his total was $127. 50. "How can that be?" he asked, "I only buy a few things!"”可知这个年轻人很惊讶,超出了他的预料。故选A。 小题1:通过文中最后一句话“The clerk replied, "Your mother said that you would pay for her. "”可知这位年轻人也要为那位女士付钱,那位女士什么都没付。故选C。 |

Expressions cover all parts of our life. They may be around your ears every day. You may know a lot of Chinese expressions that describe how you feel. Here are some English ones for your enjoyment. Have Your Heart in Your Mouth This expression means that you’re really afraid or anxious about something. When your heart starts beating so much that you can feel a thumping(怦怦跳) in your throat, it may feel like you "have your heart in your mouth." Have Butterflies in the Stomach How did butterflies get in your stomach? Well, those really aren’t butterflies in there. It is a way of describing those nervous feelings you might get before a test or a very important decision. These stomach flutters (跳动) are normal and happen to many people. Some people believe having a few butterflies might even help you perform better. Sick as a Dog If you’ve ever been very sick, you may have used this expression. Because dogs eat just about anything they find, they often get sick. So it’s all right to describe someone who’s not feeling well as being "sick as a dog". Under the Weather When it’s rainy all day outside, how would you feel? This expression comes from the idea that bad weather might hurt a person’s health and mood(心情). 小题1: The expression "__" is most probably used while you are watching a thriller. A. have your heart in your mouth B. sick as a dog C. under the weather 小题2:Someone believes__ if you "have butterflies in the stomach" before a test. A. you’re sure to fail B. you will forget everything C. you might do better 小题3:It’s __ to say somebody is "sick as a dog" when he is not feeling well. A. impolite B. suitable C. wrong 小题4:When somebody says "under the weather", he must feel A. upset B. happy C. calm 小题5:All expressions discussed in this passage are about A. health B. habits C. feelings |
