16、ke your medicine”【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。在美式英语中，许多类似于face the music的表达听起来很好，但其实真实含义并非如此。1D主旨大意题。根据第一段“There are so many expressions in American English that sound good but are not.”可知，主要介绍了美式英语中许多表达听起来很好，但其实真实含义并非如此。故本文主要介绍了一些英语的表达。2A推理判断题。根据第五段中“To take your medicine means to accept the results from somethi
17、ng bad you have done.”可知，take your medicine的意思是接受你所做的坏事的结果。A项(你违反了交通，造成了交通事故)和“take your medicine”的意思相符。B、C和D三项都不能说是做的坏事，都和“take your medicine”的意思不符。3C细节理解题。文中对四个选项的意思分别进行了解释，Pay the piper 和Take your medicine 都是Face the music的同义词，意思是接受自己不好的行为所造成的结果，根据第五段中“You made your bed.Now lie in it. He means yo
18、u created a bad situation and now you will experience the results, or as we say in American spoken English, you must deal with it！”可知，Make your bed的意思是制造了一个糟糕的局面，所以Make your bed 与其他几个词意思不同，故选C项。4B推理判断题。文章最后一段主要叙述的是，Pay the piper这个表达有一个很有意思的开端，而最后一句说到“We will talk about that in the next Words and The
19、ir Stories.”由此，可知下一段要讲的是Pay the piper的开始。阅读加油站expression n表达concert n演唱会face the music 面对现实To face the music means to accept the bad results of a behaviour.面对现实的意思是接受行为的不良后果。.七选五Some people learn a second language easily.Other people have trouble learning a new language.How can you help yourself lea
