本文讲述了作者一开始不重视英语习惯用语直到一次碰到一位英国人除了洋相,才发觉习语的重要性。 小题1:A考查连词辨析。根据句意“尽管老师一次次说英语习语重要,我还是没有注意”。根据两句之间的关系,应选A。 小题2:B考查动词辨析。我在路上碰巧遇见一个英国人。pick up 捡起,拾起;find out 查清楚,弄清楚。 小题3:B考查动词辨析。两个人相遇,然后开始交谈,所以应选B。 小题4:D。考查形容词辨析。当外国人说“You don’t say”时,我理解的是“你不能说”,我很吃惊。所以应选D。 小题5:A考查形容词辨析。proper 合适的,适当的。作者认为这是一个不合适的话题,所以应选A。 小题6:B考查固定搭配。had better do sth. 最好做……。作者认为应该换一个话题,所以应用had better,选B。 小题7:D考查固定搭配。by the way 是固定搭配,顺便说一下。 小题8:D考查动词辨析。你曾经去过那儿吗?have been to some place去过某地。 小题9:D考查动词辨析。 laugh at 嘲笑; think of 考虑; send for 派人去接; look at 看一看。去了中国而未去过长城,会被人嘲笑,所以应选D。 小题10:A考查代词辨析。特指长城。前文已提到长城,在这里用it来指代。 小题11:B考查固定搭配。place of interest 名胜古迹。属固定搭配,所以应选B。 小题12:C联系上下文。外国人一开始说“You don’t say”。在这里再次强调,所以应选C。 小题13:B考查动词辨析。couldn’t help doing 禁不住做某事。作者感到很奇怪,所以禁不住要问。 小题14:B上下文串联。我并没有让你那样做。do so 那样做。 小题15:A考查动词辨析。外国人觉得作者误会了他的话,觉得很好笑,所以是笑得流出了眼泪。cry“哭”;move“感动”。 小题16:A考查动词辨析。他开始解释You don’t say的意思,所以应选A。explain“解释”;prove“证明,证实”。 小题17:B考查名词辨析。experience 经验;expression 表达;explanation 解释; example 例子。句意为:这是表示吃惊的一种表达方式,所以应选B。 小题18:B考查固定搭配。pay attention to 注意。属于固定搭配,句意为“你没有注意到英语习语”。 小题19:B考查人称代词。make fool of sb. 愚弄某人。作者没有听懂外国人说话的意思,所以感觉愚弄了自己。 小题20:C考查形容词辨析。对于习语用法更加小心。be careful with. . . 对……小心,细心。be popular with“受……的欢迎”;be satisfied with“对……满意”。 |

A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child, and some children, like boys and girls who live abroad with their parents, seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In school it is not easy to learn a second language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too. A man’s mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photos not only of what we see but of what we feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photo with a camera, there is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to show to our friends. In the same way there is much work to be done before we can keep a picture forever in our mind. Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us. 小题1:We usually begin to learn our own language by ________ it.A.speaking | B.hearing | C.saying | D.teaching | 小题2:If you have a good ________ , you’ll have less difficulty in learning something. A.teacher | B.camera | C.memory | D.family | 小题3:The children who live abroad with their parents can learn two languages more easily, because ______. A.they are very clever | B.they have good teachers | C.they have more chances to use these languages | D.they have a better life | 小题4:Memory is ________ that we write in our mind and carry about. A.the best diary | B.the best camera | C.a great help | D.a beautiful picture |

Sam, a dog, was left behind in Colorado while his owners, Mr. And Mrs. Green moved to Southern California. They did not give the dog up. They found him a very nice home before they moved. They would have let Sam accompany them, but they were afraid the dog’s presence would make it difficult for them to rent a house when they reached their destination. The Green family lived in Colorado for less than a year. Before that, they had lived in the same neighborhood in California to which they returned. So Sam had been there before, but only for a short time when he was young. Several months after the Greens left Colorado, after they were comfortably settled back in California, they heard a scratch at the door. They couldn’t imagine who might be there. It never occurred to them that it might be Sam, because they were sure he was happily set up with his new family back in Colorado. When they opened the door, the Greens saw a dirty, tired dog with very hurting feet. The animal looked a little bit like Sam, but no one could believe that Sam could have walked 840 miles on his own.
