Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage 1
If you say, “The cat’s out of the bag” instead of “The secret is given away(泄露)”, you are 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 speech, and many are very old and have interesting histories. Now let’s see the following two examples.
“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 thirteen times at mid-night. Townspeople supported his claim and he was not executed. 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. Regardless of its origin, this idiom means rescue(救援） from a situation at the last possible moment.
“A close shave”: In the past, student barbers learned to shave on customers. If they shaved too close, their clients might be cut or even barely escape serious injury. Today, we use the idiom if a person narrowly escapes a disaster.
61. The purpose of this article is to ______. A. compare idioms and proverbs
B. explain the meaning of some interesting everyday expression
C. show the importance of using proverbs and idioms in your writing
D. to tell the difference between idioms and proverbs 62. It can be inferred from the article that ______. A. it is difficult to guess the meaning of idioms B. you should not use idioms in your writing C. proverbs are more common than idioms
D. you should be careful to use proverbs and idioms
63. Which of these statements is an example of “a close shave”? A. My brother bought a new bicycle to ride to school. B. A car nearly hit me on my way to school. C. No one in my school has ever been to Canada. D. A barber cut his clients seriously.
64. The word “chime” in paragraph 2 probably means ______. A. strike the hour B. sing the song
C. sound the alarm D. give beautiful sound 65. What is the best title of the passage? A. Everyday Expressions B. Idioms C. Proverbs
D. The Difference between Idioms and Proverbs
