    What is an idiom? An idiom is a group of words which, when used together, has a different meaning from the one which the individual words have. For example, “---How do you know that Sid and Nancy have separated ?” “---I heard it on the grapevine(葡萄藤)”.
    Of course, the second speaker does not mean he heard the news about John by putting his ear to a grapevine! He is conveying the idea visually of information spreading around a widespread network, similar to a grapevine. We use idioms to express something that other words do not express as clearly or as cleverly. We often use an image or symbol to describe something as clearly as possible and thus make our point as effectively as possible. For example, "in a nutshell" suggests the idea of having all the information contained within very few words. Idioms tend to be informal and are best used in spoken rather than written English.
    One of the best ways to learn an idiom is by looking at the context in which it is used. This can be done by concentrating on the rest of the sentence and try to guess the meaning. Many idioms are not that difficult to understand when considered in their context. For example: We are going to have a surprise party for Tom tomorrow. It's a secret so please don't let the cat out of the bag. 
    　'Let the cat out of the bag' is an idiom. Imagine you don't know what this idiom means; by looking at the words preceding, it should be easy to guess that the speaker does not want you to tell Tom about the surprise party. Therefore, 'let the cat out of the bag' must mean something like' reveal a secret' or 'tell a secret'.
    小题1:Which of the following sentences is NOT similar to  “I heard it on the grapevine. ” in figures of speech(在修辞方面)？
    A．The exam was a piece of cake.
    B．You will be paid under the table.
    C．You eat with that mouth?
    D．It rained cats and dogs yesterday.
    小题2:“I was feeling under the weather so I went to see a doctor.” The underlined idiom  means____.
    A．blueB．homesickC．unhappyD．ill
    小题3:It is most probable that idioms will be seen______.
    A．in a paperB．in an preface(序言)C．in a noticeD．in online chatting
    小题4:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
    A．Other words can express something as vividly as idioms.
    B．Written English with spoken English does not use idioms at all.
    C．There are plant, food, animal idioms used to express something.
    D．Contexts play not a bit important part in guessing the meaning of idioms.

    小题1:C
    小题2:D
    小题3:D
    小题4:C

    Military training has long been considered a ritual(仪式) that freshmen must go through in order to officially start their college lives. While some question the necessity of such training. Many students see military training as a campus tradition that should be maintained.
    Early in February, the Ministry of Education issued a new regulation that colleges and universities should carry out a minimum of 14 days compulsory military training for freshmen.
    In a report by Beijing Evening News, Hou Zhengfang, a Beijing-based education PhD, questioned the benefits of military training. “The training routine does little to improve students’ physical fitness over only two weeks’ time. Maybe some disaster prevention training, such as earthquake survival or escaping from fires would be of greater benefit.”
    Meng Yang, a 19-year-old freshman at Guangxi University, fainted during training. She said that many students, especially girls, are willing to train under direct sunshine. “For me, military training is physically challenging and even damages my health.”
    According to Li Jian from the student affairs office of Guangzhou University, feeling dizzy  happens frequently during military training and the school has received a lot of complaints from both students and parents: “But I still think military training is a good thing. Students are easier to manage after the military training. They became more positive about their new environment after the training.”
    Although autumn is fast approaching Beijing, the noon heat burns 3300 freshmen on Tsinghua University’s campus. Chu Jinjing, a freshman majoring in medicine, did feel some discomfort while training in sweaty clothes in the glaring heat, the 18-year-old still enjoyed being part of group going through strict exercises. “By going through this tough training, students bond faster and a sense of belonging to the school can be formed. I’ve made a lot of friends already.”
    According to the Ministry of Education, the purpose of military training is to teach students discipline, the spirit of teamwork and endurance. But in reality, according to Xiong Bingqi, deputy director of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, the effect is not satisfying. “Such goals require long-term development. It is unrealistic to expect military training to make a difference in only 14 days.” He thus suggests that it should be up to schools to conduct military training in a way that best suits their students.
    However, Wang Wenhui, an 18-year-old freshman from Xi’an Jiaotong University, sees military training as a tradition that reaches beyond character building. “From junior and senior high school to college, we join military training to start a new journey. I would feel a bit incomplete without it.”
    小题1:How many people expressing their opinions are mentioned in this passage?
    A．4B．5C．6D．7
    小题2:According to Hou Zhengfang, it seems much more beneficial to give freshmen_____________.
    A．survival skills
    B．military training
    C．the spirit of teamwork and endurance
    D．strict exercises
    小题3:What is the author’s attitude towards military training?
    A．SupportiveB．SubjectiveC．ObjectiveD．Rejective
    小题4:What is the best title for the passage?
    A．A Policy Made by the Ministry of Education
    B．Military Training under Fire
    C．A New Journey
    D．A Best Way to Teach Students Discipline

    The first ancient Olympic Games for which we still have written records were held in 776 BC. Coroebus won the only event at the Olympics. This made him the first Olympic champion in history. Then the Olympic Games developed and continued to be held every four years. In 393 AD, the Roman Emperor Theodosius I, a Christian, put a stop to the Games.
    In 1892, a young Frenchman named Pierre de Coubertin suggested starting the Olympic Games again but failed. Two years later, Coubertin organized a meeting with 79 people representing nine countries. At this meeting he got what he wanted. All the delegates at the meeting voted for the Olympic Games. They also decided to have Coubertin found an international committee (委员会) to organize the Games. This committee became the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Demetrious Vikelas from Greece was chosen to be its first president. Athens was chosen for the revival (复兴) of the Olympic Games and the planning began.
    The first modern Olympic Games opened in the first week of April, 1896. Since the Greek government didn’t have enough money to build a stadium, a wealthy Greek man, Georgios Averoff, donated over $100,000 to repair the Panathenaic Stadium built in 330 BC.Since the Games were not well publicized (宣传) internationally, athletes were not nationally chosen but rather came by themselves. Some athletes were tourists who happened to be in the area during the Games.

    b. Demetrious from Greece was selected as the first president of IOC.
    c. Coroebus became the first Olympic champion.

    Why do Chinese people love hot pot so much? As the winter months begin to settle in, I find myself wondering what it is about this traditional meal, which has existed for more than 1，000 years, that makes it a Chinese food favorite．But it seems that the answer lies beyond the dish itself．
    Hot pot isn't just designed to keep you warm during the cold months; it's also a social experience．It's a "theater” cuisine that turns a meal into an event．There is a lot of fun for everyone to have in adding ingredients to the hot pot．
    Hot pot is eaten over two to three hours．For this reason, it is often, considered an evening's entertainment, and time to spend with friends and family．However, many westerners would be put off by the idea of other people sticking chopsticks in their food．When we come to eat at the table in the UK, we tend to have our own individual portions （份额）, although the experience is still a social one．
    A similar experience to the hot pot one can be found in Korean barbecue restaurants, which let you cook your own meat．This allows people to have their meat done however they want．
    For most Westerners, the idea of going to a restaurant to cook their own food is bizarre （古怪的）．But having given hot pot a go, I find it's now one of my favorite meals in Beijing．The steam from the pot left my clothes smelling of food when I got home, but perhaps this is also part of the experience．When the chilly （刺骨的） wind is blowing outside, just grab （抓） some chopsticks, some good friends, and dig in．For me it's like throwing a dinner party where my taste buds （味蕾） and my appetite are equally satisfied in the warm company of friends．
    小题1:According to the author, hot pot is popular in China because ________．
    A．it is a fun social experience
    B．it has been developing for over 1,000 years
    C．it involves many unique ingredients
    D．it keeps people warm in winter and it is creative
    小题2:We can conclude from the article that generally British people _______.
    A．prefer a Korean barbecue to Chinese hot pot
    B．find it interesting to cook their own food in restaurants
    C．don't like sharing food with others
    D．don't mind the smell of food staying on their clothes after dinner
    小题3:The underlined word "put off" in the third paragraph probably means _____
    A．excitedB．disappointedC．puzzledD．discouraged
    小题4:What is the tone of the article?
    A．AppreciativeB．LongingC．Humorous．D．Serious．

    Cold weather has a great effect, on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word “cold”. For centuries, the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold-blooded. Cold-blood people act in a merciless way. They may do brutal things to others, and not by accident. For example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. The killer murdered someone, not in self-defense. He seemed to kill with no emotion.
    Cold can affect other parts of the body, the feet, for example. Heavy socks can warm your feet, if your feet are really cold. But there is an expression ---- to get cold feet--- that has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned. All the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.
    Cold can also affect your shoulder. You “give someone the cold shoulder” when you refuse to speak to them. You treat them in a distant, cold way. The expression probably come from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face-to- face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you or to someone who has lied about you to others.
    “A cold fish” is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and show no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.
    “Out in the cold” is and expression often heard. It means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise. He was left our in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.
    小题1: The text is intended to tell us that ______.
    A．cold weather has a great effect on human bodies
    B．“cold” is a word closely linked with human emotions
    C．many English expressions contain the word “cold”
    D．the word “cold” has many different meanings in English
    小题2:The underline word “brutal” in paragraph 1 most probably means ______.
    A．mercilessB．illegalC．impoliteD．extreme
    小题3:Which phrase can best describe a person who is unwilling to offer anything to others?
    A．Cold-blooded. B．To get cold shoulder.
    C．A cold fish.D．A cold shoulder.
    小题4:If the teacher gives all the boys except Tom a pen as a prize, you can say he ______.
    A．is given the cold shoulderB．is punished by a cold fish
    C．has got cold feetD．is left out in the cold

    When you visit America, you will see the word Motel on signs and notice boards. It is made up of “motor” and “hotel” and it is really a hotel for people who arrive by car (however, you don’t need a car to stay at one). You have to pay when you arrive for your room, which usually has a bath. Meals are not provided, but there will certainly be a cafeteria (自助餐馆). Americans eat a lot of salads and sandwiches. Along the main roads there are a lot of motels. Each tries to offer more than next. Some provide television in every bedroom; others have swimming pools; and so on. Motels are especially useful when you are in the country, far from a town or city. You will also find them in the big National Parks.
    In these great National Parks, you may meet guests you don’t expect to see. An American friend told me a little story. In the middle of a moonless night she heard strange noises outside her motel window in the Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Thinking it might be a thief, she jumped out of bed, opened the door and crept towards a dark shadow. As she got close, she saw the thief. She was dreadfully frightened: it wasn’t a human thief — it was a big black bear. The bear was turning over some empty tins with its paw, looking for tasty bits of food. My friend decided to leave that particular thief alone!
    There are also, of course, places called “rooming houses”,  where they receive lodgers (房客). You will see such signs as Tourists or Rooms Rent, and you could try one of these. A word of warning — looking for a room in New York during the tourist season is like looking for gold on the moon!　
    小题1:Which of the following is TRUE about motels?
    A．The word “motel” is formed by two words.
    B．They are free for people who arrive by car.
    C．If you want to stay at a motel, you must have a car.
    D．You can only find motels in the big National Parks.
    小题2:Which of the following is NOT provided by motels?
    A．Meals.B．Swimming pools.C．TV.D．Baths.
    小题3:The underlined word “crept” in the second paragraph probably means “______”.
    A．ran fastB．rushed outC．threw awayD．moved slowly
    小题4:The second paragraph mainly tells us ______.
    A．an interesting story
    B．we may meet animals in the National Parks
    C．the experience of the author’s friend
    D．bears usually look for food at night
    小题5:From the last paragraph, we can learn that in New York during the tourist season ______.
    A．tourists can find gold there
    B．it is difficult to find a room there
    C．tourists can have a sweet dream there
    D．there is a warning for tourists to New York
