    B

    Expressions about water are mostly as common as water itself.

    The expression “to be in hot water” is one of them. It is a very old expression. Hot water was used five hundred years ago to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle. That no longer happens. But we still get “in hot water”. When we are in hot water, we are in trouble. It can be any kind of trouble, serious or not so serious. A person who breaks a law can be in hot water with the police. A young boy can be in hot water with his mother if he walks in the house with dirty shoes.

    “Being in deep water” is somewhat like being in hot water. When you are in deep water, you are in a difficult position. Imagine a person who can not swim being thrown in water over his head. You are in deep water when you are facing a problem that you don’t have the ability to solve. You can be in deep water, for example, if you invest in stocks without knowing anything about the stock market.

    “To keep your head above water” is a colorful expression that means staying out of debt. A company seeks to keep its head above water during economic hard times. A man who loses his job tries to keep his head above water until he finds a new job.

    “Water over the dam” is another expression about past events. It is something that is finished, and cannot be changed. The expression comes from the idea that water has floated over a dam and cannot be brought back again. When a friend is troubled by a mistake he or she has made, you might tell him or her to forget about it. You say it is water over the dam.

    Another common expression “to hold water” is about the strength or weakness of an idea or opinion that you may be arguing about . It probably comes from a way of testing the condition of a container. If it can hold water, it is strong and does not have any holes; if it does not hold water, then, it is weak and not worth debating.

    “Throwing cold water” also is an expression that deals with ideas or proposals. For example, you want to buy a new car because the old one has some problems, but your wife throws cold water on the idea because she says a new car costs too much.

    60. Don’t cheat in this exam! Or you’ll      if you are caught cheating by the teacher.

    A. be in hot wate                  B. have to hold water

    C . be in deep water                  D. keep your head above water

    61.The expression using water in Paragraph       has almost the same meaning as “Things done cannot be undone.”

    A. 3    B. 4   C . 5    D. 6

    62. We can see from this passage that many of the expressions using water have         meanings.

    A. double   B. unpleasant   C . close   D. moral

    63.The best title for this passage should be         .

    A. The history of water         B. Cold water or hot water

    C . Water and it culture         D. Expressions concerning water

    阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36～55各题所给的A、 B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

        Children model themselves largely on their parents. They do so mainly through identification. Children identify   36   a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are   37   of that parent.

However, parents must consistently behave like the type of   40   they want their child to become.

        A parent's actions   41   affect the self-image that a child forms   42   identification.

        Isolated(孤立的) events,   48   dramatic(突然的) ones, do not necessarily have a permanent   49   on a child's  behavior.

But if children feel unloved, they may interpret such events   52   a sign of rejection or punishment.

        In the same way, all children are not influenced   53   by toys and games, reading matter, and television programs.   54   in the case of a dramatic change in family relations, the   55   of an activity or experience depends on how the child interprets it.

    Just as some people think that certain numbers are lucky or unlucky, others believe that we can use numbers to understand our personalities, or predict what will happen to us in the future.

    Numerology is a way of using numbers to describe a person’s character, and to make predictions about future life events. Numerologists use the numbers 1-9, 11 and 22 — also known as the “master” numbers — to help a person understand his or her personality, life goals, and destiny.

    Numerologists consider your Life Path number to be the most significant because this number describes your character. To find this number, add together all the numbers in your date of birth. For example, a person born on April 25, 1985 would add the month (4), to the numbers of the date (2+5), plus the numbers of the birth year (1+9+8+5). In this case the total is 34, so this person’s life path number is 7(3+4). Numerologists believe that people with this number are peaceful and affectionate but can also be very reserved.

    Your Expression number describes your talents and predicts how you should use these to fulfill your destiny in life. Numerologists assign a number between 1 and 9 to each of the letters in your name. These numbers are then added together in the same way as before to find your Expression number. Numerologists can also do calculations to predict when the most challenging periods of your life will be.

    Numerologists also believe that the day a person is born is important. Each day of the month has a character description. People born on the fourth are said to be responsible, honest, and stubborn. People born on the fifteenth have very strong attachments to family and home. Those who celebrate their birthday on the thirtieth are artistic, creative, and imaginative, and often make good writers.

    If we calculate the numerical value of our name and birth date, numerologists believe that we can learn more about our personalities. They also believe that we can predict our destinies, how our lives will progress, and what challenges we may face along the way. To the numerologist, numbers can be used in many more ways than we think.

    1.If a person was born on November 8, 1995, what is his Life Path number?

    A. 7        B. 8        C. 9        D. 11  zxxk

    2.To understand your abilities and how to use them in your life, you should calculate your ______.

    A. Life Path number         B. Expression number

    C. birthday            D. name and birth date

    3.According to the passage, a person born on the fifteenth tends to be _______.

    A. stubborn     B. home-loving C. artistic     D. imaginative

    4.According to the passage, numerologists believe that _________.

    A. Life Path number can be used to predict a person’s most challenging life periods

    B. Expression number is the most meaningful for people to learn a person’s character

    C. numbers can help people better understand themselves

    D. numbers can be used to change a person’s future

    5.The function of the passage is __________.

    A. to raise doubts about the usefulness of numerology

    B. to persuade readers about the benefits of the practices it describes

    C. to describe some of the numerological practices and their purpose

    D. to tease those who take such beliefs seriously
