5．Theexpression（express） on her face told me that she didn't want to discuss it．

2．Expressions about water are almost as common as water itself．But many of the expressions using water have unpleasant meanings．
The expression"to be in hot water"is one of them．It is a very old expression．"Hot water"was used 500years 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 almost the same as being in hot water．When you are in deep water，you are in a difficult position．Imagine a person who cannot swim being thrown in water over his head．You are in deep water when you are facing a problem that you do not 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 a past event．It is something that is finished．It cannot be changed．The expression comes from the idea that water that has flowed over a dam cannot be brought back again．
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 has no holes in it．If your argument 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．It means that one doesn't like an idea．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．

9．Was it during the 19^th century ______ American English spelling got a separate identity？（　　）

19．Every day we are exposed to images，videos，music and news．In this age of visual and aural hyper-stimulation，the medium of radio is making a great comeback．
"We're at the beginning of a golden age of audio（音频），"said US-based podcaster Alex Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald．In the last month alone，15percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast （播客）．These statistics，released by Edison Research，show the successful evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the present day's digital podcast format．The term"podcast"was invented in 2004，but the trend only started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years．With the sharp increase in consumer demand for smartphones and tablets，podcast sales have jumped．
The appeal of the podcast partly lies in its multiplatform delivery and on-demand capabilities （功能）．You can listen during those extra minutes of the day when you're walking to the shops，waiting in a queue or riding the subway．Similar to television shows，podcasts are generally free to download and most offer new content every week．
Donna Jackson，22，Sydney University media graduate，listens to podcasts two or three times a week，via iTunes．"I listen while I'm wandering around the house doing something else．It makes completing a boring task much more enjoyable…And it's an easy way of keeping in touch with what's going on in the rest of the world，"she said，"I mainly listen to BBC podcasts，but recently I've also been listening to This American Life and Serial．They have a special skill to really draw you in．"
Unlike television and music，the audio format has the potential to create a deep impression on readers．Blumberg says this owes to the podcast's ability"to create close relationship and emotional connection．"Sydney University undergraduate Hazel Proust，majoring in social work and arts，agrees．"When you're listening，it feels as if the voice of the podcast's storyteller is talking directly to you．It's comforting，"said Proust．
It seems the age-old tradition of verbal storytelling is very much alive and well．

A．traditional broadcast has come back
B．Americans love listening to the radio
C．podcasts have become very popular today
D．smartphones sell well because of podcasts

B．explain why young people like podcasts
C．introduce what programs podcasts are presenting
D．show how popular podcasts are presenting
56．What is probably the best title of the passage？A

6．Most Americans enjoy moving from place to place very often．In some states only one house in five has people living in it who have been there for more than five years．One may be born in one city，and go to school in another．He may finish his middle school education in two or three cities and attend a college far across the country．And when he has entered business，he may possibly move from job to job．Moving from job to job，or job-hopping，is a very common practice in the United States．
This practice is not good by and large．Yet every chance to change a job offers the worker an opportunity to move up to a higher position and to get better wages．And job-hopping also gives employers-the bosses，the managers the-chance to benefit from the new ideas and skills that different people bring to their firms or factories．Then，most Americans love traveling．People often drive their automobiles 120to 160kilometers just to have dinner with a friend or even fly to Europe and back just for watching a football match．It is because of this-the fact that Americans are in constant motion and，in this way，it is also easy for you to become friends with Americans．And the friendship can be close and strong for a while，but then disappears as soon as the individuals move away from each other．But if these people should meet again，even years later，they would be delighted to continue the friendship．So don't be unhappy when you fail to find lifetime friendships or relationships in the United States．
51．"Job-hopping"meansD．
A．moving from place to place           B．looking for work
C．hoping to get a job                  D．moving from job to job
52．It is inferred thatA．
A．Americans like to make friends but don't specially attach importance to it
B．it's impossible to find lifetime friendships or relationships in the United States
C．Americans ignore friendships and relationships with others
D．Americans make friends just for fun

A．is against    B．thinks well of    C．wants to stop     D．doesn't go along with．
