26、A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms (习语), though my teacher stressed the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.
One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished.
Gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic. “Well, I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his words: “You don’t say!”. I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?”
“Well, I didn’t request you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘you don’t say’?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “‘You don’t say!’ actually means ‘Really!’. It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.”
Only then did I realize I had made a fool of mysell. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: What the English teachers said is always right to us students.
【1】A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because________.
A.English idioms were not important
B.my teacher didn’t emphasize the importance of them
C.I had no interest in them
D.I didn’t realize the importance of English idioms
【2】What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A.The Englishman left China without seeing the Great Wall.
B.The Englishman thought the Great Wall is worth visiting.
C.The Englishman wanted to see the Great Wall after I talked about it.
D.The Englishman wanted me to act as his guide.
【3】At first, on hearing “You don’t say!” I thought the foreigner meant ________.
A.he was only interested in the Great Wall
B.he was not interested in the topic
C.I had talked too much
D.I had to stop talking
【4】After the Englishman explained the idiom, ________.
A.I felt very foolish

27、Starting at university or college can be a big challenge, especially if you’re living away from home for the first time. You are faced with big questions such as, “Who’s going to do my washing?” “Who’s going to tidy my room?” And, most importantly. “How am I going to eat?” Yes, living on your own means cooking for yourself, and when you’re living a student lifestyle, this could be a recipe for disaster.
Students, in the UK at least, often rely on generally available food such as baked beans or cheese on toast. And for the more adventurous, there’s “spag bol”—spaghetti bolognaise (肉酱意粉), that is, cooked spaghetti served with a ground beef and tomato sauce—a budget friendly solution. If you make a huge pan of it, it can probably last you a whole week! Other low-cost options include jar sauces and oven pizzas.
Recently, a British supermarket suggested that rose harissa paste, organic cider vinegar and Swiss bouillon powder were the important food materials needed for the “student cupboard”. But are these items considered essential and affordable for someone on a budget?
As a matter of fact, living on a budget is certainly one barrier to eating a well-balanced diet. What’s more, some young people don’t know much about cooking, and for many young students, there are more fun things to go and do than just stay inside and cook. That’s where takeaways and microwave meals come in.
What should a health-conscious student really have in his or her food cupboard? Jack Monroe, a food writer and campaigner, has words to say: baked beans, lemon juice, canned tomatoes and tomato ketchup, described as “salt, sugar, vinegar and tomato all in one handy squeezy bottle”. And should that not appeal, you can always wait till your next visit to your mum and dad for a square meal!
【1】What does the author indicate by “this could be a recipe for disaster”?
A.Cooking is difficult for a student.
B.Students must cook if they live far.
C.It is important to live independently.
D.Learning to cook will cause disasters.
【2】What is the feature of “spag bol”?
A.It is delicious.
B.It is healthy.
C.It saves money.
D.It needs little skill.
【3】What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.How well-balanced diets can be realized.
B.How students can eat healthily with limited money.
C.Why living on a budget is common among students.
D.Why students choose takeaways and microwave meals.
【4】Why does the author write the last paragraph?
A.To advocate visiting parents.
B.To offer some tips.
C.To promote food culture.
D.To introduce a writer.
28、If you say, “The cat’s out of the bag” instead of “The secret is given away,” you’re using an idiom. The meaning of an idiom is different from the actual meaning of the words used. “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is a proverb. Proverbs are old but familiar sayings that usually give advice. Both idioms and proverbs are part of our daily expressions. Many are very old and have interesting histories. See how many of these expressions you know.
“Bury the hatchet.”
Native Americans used to bury weapons to show that fighting had ended and enemies were now at peace. Today, the idiom means to make up with a friend after an argument of fight.
“A close shave.”
In the past, student barbers learned to shave on customers. If they shaved too close, their customers might be cut or even hardly escape serious injury. Today, we use the idiom if a person narrowly escapes disaster.
“Raining cats and dogs.”
In Norse mythology the dog is associated with wind and the cat with storms. This expression means it’s raining very heavily.
To “shed crocodile tears.”
Crocodiles have a reflex that causes their eyes to tear when they open their mouths. That makes it look as though they are crying while swallowing their food. In fact, neither crocodiles nor people who shed “crocodile” tears feel sorry for their actions.
“Saved by the bell.”
In 17th-century England, a guard at Windsor Castle was accused of falling asleep at his post. He claimed he was wrongly accused and could prove it; he had heard the church bell chime (鸣响) thirteen times at midnight. Townspeople supported his claim and he was saved. Today we think of the bell that ends a round in boxing, often saving the boxer from injury, or the bell at the end of a class period, saving you from more work. Now this idiom means rescue from a situation at the last possible moment.

29、Jim Denevan is an amazing artist whose work is admired by all, but owned by none--that’s because all of Jim’s art is created on an unusual canvas(画布)--the soft sand. He sometimes spends days working on a piece, only to see it washed away by the sea or a storm and that is just the way he likes it.
Denevan discovered his artistic talents about ten years ago, when he was wandering aimlessly on the beach with a stick. He ended up drawing a 12-foot-long fish. Since then, Jim has traveled over 1,800 miles while creating over 600 pieces of sand art.
Over the years, his drawings have become bigger, but the tools he uses haven’t changed--All he needs is a stick, a garden rake(耙子)and most importantly, his lively imagination!
Just like any good artist, Jim is quite particular about the “quality" of his canvas, sometimes walking for miles, looking for perfect sand. His latest piece of work, which is also the world's largest freelance(自由职业的)drawing, was created in the desert sand of Nevada. It took Jim three trips, eight days and over 100 miles of walking to create this 3-mile work of art. It took the storm just one night to destroy it! However, Jim says he actually enjoys watching the waves or rain, wash his paintings away.
Jim’s art has become very popular over the years and was even the topic of a documentary' (记录片)named “Sandman” in 2015. Jim Denevan is not just about art in the sand — he is also an excellent chef (厨师)and founder of an organization called“Outstanding in the Field”,whose motto(座右铭)is to celebrate food at its source. Accordingly, group dining events are held outdoors on farms, with the diners being treated to a delicious meal. The events, which are held in different farms throughout America, are always sold out the minute the schedule is announced.

30、When I entered Berkeley, I hoped to earn a scholarship. Having been a Straight-A student, I believed I could ______ tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was extremely interested in the ideas he ______ in class.
When I took the first exam, I was ______ to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper, ______English was my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my ______ but remained unmoved.
I decided to try harder, although I didn’t know what that ______ because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I reasoned with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened ______ but wouldn’t change his mind.
One more test before the final exam. One more ______ to improve my grade. So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time, ______ the meaning of the word “thorough (深入细致的)”. But my ______ did no good and everything went as before.
The last hurdle was the final. No matter what grade I got, it wouldn’t cancel C-pluses. I might as well kiss the ______ goodbye.
I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even ______ myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I’d have fun with a test.
A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into Professor Jayne’s office. He ______ to be expecting me. “If I gave you the A-pluses you expected, you wouldn’t continue to work as hard.”
I stared at him,______ that his analysis and strategy were correct. I had worked my head off, as I had never done before.
I was speechless when my course grade arrived: A-plus. It was the only A-plus given. The next year I ______ my scholarship. I’ve always remembered Professor Jayne’s lesson: you alone must set your own standard of excellence.
