【題目】閱讀下面材料，在空白處填入適當(dāng)?shù)膬?nèi)容（≤3個(gè)單詞）或括號(hào)內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。

American English has its own idioms. Let’s say you buy something in a shop. And 【1】 you pay for it, you say: this cost 【2】 an arm and a leg! What do you really mean by 【3】 (say) so? Do you have to give them an arm and a leg? I hope not. Let’s listen to an American English conversation 【4】 (see) if we can find out what this means.

A: Did you buy that new computer?

B: Yeah, I did. But I 【5】 (buy) it.

A: Why do you say so? Is there anything wrong with it?

B: Not exactly, but , as a matter of fact, it cost the way more than I 【6】 (expect) it to be.

A: 【7】 did you pay for it?

B: Let me just tell you it cost an arm and a leg.

When you say in American English that something costs an arm and a leg, it actually means that 【8】 price is very, very high, much 【9】 (high)than we can expect. If you use this idiom in the United States, everyone will understand you. But this is a(n) 【10】 phrase, so don’t use it in a formal business setting.

【答案】

【1】when/after

【2】me

【3】saying

【4】to see

【5】shouldn’t have bought

【6】had expected

【7】How much

【8】the/its

【9】higher

【10】informal

【解析】

試題分析：通過(guò)一個(gè)故事和對(duì)話告訴了我們一個(gè)英語(yǔ)習(xí)語(yǔ)的用法。

【1】when/after.考查連詞。句意：當(dāng)你付款時(shí)∕后，你說(shuō)……。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境填when/after.

【2】me.考查代詞。句中cost是動(dòng)詞，后加賓語(yǔ)要用賓格形式，故填me.

【3】saying.考查動(dòng)詞。句意：這樣說(shuō)的真正意思是什么？句中有介詞by，后面用動(dòng)詞的-ing形式，故填saying.

【4】to see.考查不定式。句意：讓我們聽(tīng)一段美國(guó)人的英語(yǔ)對(duì)話來(lái)看看我們能否找到它的真正意思。此處是不定式表目的，故填to see.

【5】shouldn’t have bought.考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞。shouldn’t have+過(guò)去分詞，表示“本不該”，此處表示本不該買新電腦，但實(shí)際上買了。故填shouldn’t have bought.

【6】had expected.考查時(shí)態(tài)。句意：事實(shí)上比我原預(yù)想的花錢多。cost是過(guò)去時(shí)，expect的動(dòng)作發(fā)生的比cost早用過(guò)去完成時(shí)，故填had expected.

【7】How much.考查疑問(wèn)詞。此處問(wèn)買電腦花了多少錢，How much“多少錢”，故填How much.

【8】the/its.考查冠詞或代詞。事實(shí)上指它的價(jià)格非常高。the price表特指，its price“它的價(jià)格”，故填the/its.

【9】higher.考查形容詞。句中有than并且有程度副詞much修飾用比較級(jí)，表示“高得多”，故填higher.

【10】informal.考查形容詞。句意：但是這是一個(gè)非正式的短語(yǔ)，所以在正式的商業(yè)環(huán)境不要用。與formal對(duì)應(yīng)，故填informal.

A fear of heights is a common feeling that is easy to understand. According to many psychologists, a fear of heights is one of the only two natural fears --- the other is the fear of loud noises. 【1】 If you are not afraid, you could walk too close to the edge and fall off. Having a fear of heights is good because it protects us from real danger.

【2】 They experience an intense fear even inside a safe environment such as a skyscraper, which is not an appropriate response and it is not helpful. 【3】 “As long as I can remember, I have had a powerful fear of heights. It can completely ruin a vacation. For example, when I was with friends in Paris, I became terrified while going up to the Eiffel Tower. I was almost crying and I felt embarrassed for the rest of the vacation,” Adams said.

Fortunately, having an irrational(不合理的) fear of heights can be corrected. 【4】 The most effective way seems to be getting the people to acknowledge their fears, for example, by encouraging them to go to the top of tall buildings, hike up steep mountains, or stand on a high bridge.

【5】 When faced with a threatening situation, taking slow, deep breaths can help slow the heart rate and increase the oxygen flowing to muscles to keep from tensing up. If possible, a few minutes of meditation(冥想) may be effective in relieving some tension.

It is important to remember that an inappropriate fear of heights is not unusual and can be treated.

A. Another way to overcome a fear of heights is to learn to control the physical symptoms.

B. However, some people have an irrational (非理性的) and unhealthy fear of heights.

C. One way to defeat your fear of heights is to do an activity that involves nothing but heights.

D. There are a number of ways this can be achieved.

E. John Adams, an English teacher, has an irrational fear of heights that makes his life very difficult.

F. If you are on the edge of a cliff, it is useful to be a little afraid.

G. Nearly everyone experiences some degree of anxiety when exposed to heights.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

【題目】A cafe owner has defended her decision to pen a Facebook post (an Internet message to be discussed) stating “No, we are not child-friendly,” saying it breaks her heart when children damage her possessions.

On Monday, the Little French Cafe in Newcastle, Australia, posted an announcement on their Facebook page: “Are we child-friendly? If you are looking for a cafe with a children’ s menu, a play area, lounges for your children to jump on, vast space for your baby carriages, an area for your children to run around, and annoy other customers, while you are unaware of them—then the short answer is ‘No, we are not child-friendly.’ However, if you would like to bring your children here and they are happy to sit at a table with you and behave properly, please come in. Otherwise, there are plenty of places that are specifically designed to entertain your children.” The post has since been deleted.

Some Facebook users called the post “arrogant (傲慢的)” and an “attack on parents,” The Newcastle Herald reports. The cafe owner responded with this statement: “I built the cafe myself. It has my blood, sweat and plenty of tears in it.”

The post came about after the cafe owner was asked by a customer, who had left a one-star review on the cafe’s business page, about whether the cafe was child-friendly. Ms Kotz told news.com.au she wrote the bad review because she felt staff reacted negatively towards children at the cafe.

The cafe owner said it broke a piece of her heart every time when she was watching children emptying salt and pepper shakers into her fireplaces, parents changing nappies (尿布) on her lounges, or kids throwing their own food onto her carpet.

Although the cafe’s policy has attracted a lot of criticism, most people who commented on the Little French Cafe’s Facebook page stood by the owner. One woman named Lesley wrote, “I don’t think there was anything wrong with what you said by any means. If parents want to take their children to your cafe, they need to be responsible for their behavior.”

【1】What is the text mainly about?

A. An Australian cafe’s policy on children.

B. A Facebook post about parents’ manners.

C. The protection of the customers’ basic rights

D. The relationship between staff and customers.

【2】Which of the following is permitted according to the cafe owner’s post?

A. Parents demanding a children’s menu.

B. Children entertaining themselves in the cafe.

C. Children running around their own carriages.

D. Parents taking well-behaved kids to the cafe.

【3】The cafe owner wrote the post _____.

A. after a kid damaged her possessions

B. in response to a customer’s question

C. in order to improve the efficiency of the cafe

D. after the cafe was criticized by some Facebook users

【4】 What did Lesley think of the cafe owner’s action?

A. It was slightly unfair.

B. It was very misleading.

C. It was highly controversial.

D. It was quite understandable.
