10.Have you ever considered all the English expressions that include words about clothes?Let's see if Ican name a few proverbs"off the cuff"since I haven't prepared for it.
English expressions with"pants"
People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies.We sometimes say that people who are
restless or nervous have"ants in their pants."They might also"fly by the seat of their pants"--they use their natural sense to do something instead of their learned knowledge.Sometimes,people may"get caught with their pants down"--they are found doing something they should not be doing.And,in every family,one person takes control.Sometimes a wife tells her husband what to do.Then we say"she wears the pants in the family."
When people what to say something about money
Pants usually have pockets to hold things.Money that is likely to be spent quickly can"burn a hole in
your pocket."Sometimes you need a belt to hold up your pants.If you have less money than usual,you may have to"tighten your belt"--you may have to live on less money and spend your money carefully.But once you have succeeded in budgeting your money,you will have that skill"under your belt."
I always praise people who can save their money and not spend too much.I really"take my hat off to them."Yet,when it comes to my own money,I spend it"at the drop of a hat"--immediately,without waiting.And sadly,you cannot"pull money out of a hat"--you cannot get money by inventing or imagining it.
English expressions with"shoes"
Boots are a heavy or strong kind of shoes.People who are"too big for their boots"think they are more
important than they really are.I dislike such people.I really do.You can bet your boots on that!
Yet,truly important people are hard to replace.Rarely can you"fill their shoes"--or replace them with someone equally effective.
English expressions with"shirt"
My father is an important person.He runs a big company.He wears a suit and tie and a shirt with
sleeves that cover his arms.Some people who do not know him well think he is too firm and severe.They think he is a real"stuffed shirt."But I know that my father"wears his heart on his sleeve"--he shows his feelings openly.And,he knows how to"keep his shirt on"--he stays calm and never gets angry or too excited.
56.What is this passage mainly about?D

B.Why English expressions include words about clothes.
C.Which words can be used to describe my father.

C.get caught with their pants down           D.pull money out of a hat
58.Tim often considers himself the most important person in the world,which is far from the truth.We may sayA.

分析 文章介绍了日常生活中的一些小谚语,这些谚语中都用了一些衣服的词语,比如说裤子,我们说休息很少的人或者是非常焦虑的人叫着ants in their pants.裤子上的蚂蚁.当我们的钱少的时候,我们会说tighten your belt,要扎紧你的腰带,下文也提到了用shoes和shirts作的谚语等等.

解答 DCACA
56.D文章大意题.根据第一段Have you ever considered all the English expressions that include words about clothes?Let's see if I can name a few proverbs"off the cuff"since I haven't prepared for it.可知你有没有考虑过包含"衣服"单词的习惯用语,下文分别举例说明了含有pants,belts,shoes,shirts英语单词的用语所表达的含义,故答案应为D.A如何正确地合适地使用英语,B为什么英语习惯用语里面含有衣服的词语.C哪些话用来描述我的父亲.均不符合题意.故选D.
57.C细节理解题.Money that is likely to be spent quickly can"burn a hole in your pocket."大意为:花得太快的钱就意为"口袋里烧了一个洞"; If you have less money than usual,you may have to"tighten your belt"大意为:如果你的钱比平常要少的多了,你就不得不"扎紧你的腰带"I always praise people who can save their money and not spend too much.I really"take my hat off to them."大意为我总是赞扬那些很会节省钱,不花那么多钱的人,我真是脱下帽子向他们(致敬).故选C.
58.A细节理解题.根据People who are"too big for their boots"think they are more important than they really are.可知凡是"boo big for their boots"的人总是认为,他们要重要得多比实际情况.这里是指总认为自己很重要,而事实并非如此.故选A.
59.C细节理解题.根据he shows his feelings openly.And,he knows how to"keep his shirt on"--he stays calm and never gets angry or too excited.可知他显示出他的感受是(向外)展示的,他知道怎么样去"keep his shirt on"(把衬衫穿在身上),他总是很平静,从来不会生气或者是太激动.故选C.
60.A词义辨析题.根据第一段Let's see if Ican name a few proverbs"off the cuff"since I haven't prepared for it.可知因为我还没准备好,来看看我是否能够命名一些谚语"off the cuff".由此可知,"off the cuff"的意思是预先没有准备.故选A.

点评 阅读这类文章时,也应该在整体把握文章结构的前提下,主要注意细节信息.细节题题干都是相应原文的变形(如同义改写、词性转换等),因此要找到答案一定要找到题干在原文中的出处,再把原文和选项相比较.做题时,根据所提问题用寻读、跳读的方法可达到事半功倍的效果.
