题目内容

【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（≤3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

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】

试题分析：通过一个故事和对话告诉了我们一个英语习语的用法。

【1】when/after.考查连词。句意：当你付款时∕后，你说……。根据语境填when/after.

【2】me.考查代词。句中cost是动词，后加宾语要用宾格形式，故填me.

【3】saying.考查动词。句意：这样说的真正意思是什么？句中有介词by，后面用动词的-ing形式，故填saying.

【4】to see.考查不定式。句意：让我们听一段美国人的英语对话来看看我们能否找到它的真正意思。此处是不定式表目的，故填to see.

【5】shouldn’t have bought.考查情态动词。shouldn’t have+过去分词，表示“本不该”，此处表示本不该买新电脑，但实际上买了。故填shouldn’t have bought.

【6】had expected.考查时态。句意：事实上比我原预想的花钱多。cost是过去时，expect的动作发生的比cost早用过去完成时，故填had expected.

【7】How much.考查疑问词。此处问买电脑花了多少钱，How much“多少钱”，故填How much.

【8】the/its.考查冠词或代词。事实上指它的价格非常高。the price表特指，its price“它的价格”，故填the/its.

【9】higher.考查形容词。句中有than并且有程度副词much修饰用比较级，表示“高得多”，故填higher.

【10】informal.考查形容词。句意：但是这是一个非正式的短语，所以在正式的商业环境不要用。与formal对应，故填informal.

A fear of heights is a common feeling that is easy to understand.

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.

【题目】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.
