Often used in both spoken and written language, these idioms are very important. Usin
11、g one of these phrases correctly when speaking or writing to an English speaker is very impressive. Here are some wonderful British idioms. Use them wisely!1. When pigs fly!This expression is one of my favorites and I use it all the time. It is used primarily when speaking, meaning that something is
12、 extremely unlikely or impossible. For example, “I will forgive him when pigs fly!” “When do you think you will get a gym membership, Louise?” “When pigs fly!”2. A penny for your thoughts?This question is used in a situation where someone appears thoughtful or is very quiet seeming lost in thought.
13、But remember that you dont actually have to pay them a penny if they do tell you what is going on! For example, “Youve been a bit quiet this evening, Pete. A penny for your thoughts?”3. Its the bees knees.This expression means that something is of excellence or of very high quality. For example, “Tr
14、y this chocolate. Its the bees knees.”4. To feel a bit under the weather.I use this expression in many different situations but most use it to refer to feeling ill, or unwell. You would not use this phrase if you were feeling extremely unwell. It is only for those times when you are feeling a little
15、 ill, or suffering from something slightly like a cold or a cough. However, this can also be used to talk about feeling emotionally low21. What would you say if you think something will never happen? A. When pigs fly!B. Its the bees knees. C. A penny for your thoughts?D. To feel a bit under the weat
16、her.22. What does “A penny for your thoughts?” mean? A. Can I help you?B. Do you need money? C. How are you feeling?D. What are you thinking about?23. What is the author most likely to continue to write at the end of the last paragraph? A. A study.B. An example. C. Another idiom.D. The meaning of th
17、e idiom.B The Green Desert garden centre, which covers more than 5,000 square metres of land, contains an impressive collection of over 3,000 palm trees(棕榈树). The centre is owned and run by Ali Al Hamsa, who started the business nearly 20 years ago. He explained how to grow a palm tree from seed: Yo
18、u have to start before the spring. Place the palm seeds under centimeters of special soil, so that they can start to grow. This should be done early in the year, preferably in January or February, but it depends on the temperature. If you have enough water and good soil, the palm will grow very quic
19、kly.Palm trees vary greatly in size. You can buy small ones for the house, or grow them larger for planting in the garden. The price varies greatly and is based entirely on the height of the palm tree. Some palms at the garden centre are small, only 30-40 centimetres in height, but nothing under of
20、metre is ever sold. This is because smaller palms are not yet established.Once a palm tree reaches about 100 centimetres, it will be well established and will be able to survive the move from the garden centre to someones home or garden, says Ali Al Hamsa. A tree which is not established may suffer
21、during transportation from the garden centre environment, which it is used to, to its new home, whether indoors or in the garden. People who buy palm trees in fact, any plant from a garden centre are often totally unaware of how a plant can suffer when its moved.It is no surprise that palm trees hav
22、e become increasingly popular in the home. Not only do they provide a tropical(热带的) atmosphere, they have also proved to be tolerant of a wide range of indoor conditions from air conditioning to central heating. Surprisingly, an established indoor palm needs only a little sunlight for its leaves to
23、retain(保持) their color; also, it needs only a little water once a week to survive. If the roots of a palm drink a lot of water, the plant will grow, but this is not ideal when the palm is grown indoors. Palm trees in a pot in the home are watered to keep them alive, not to make them grow bigger.24.W
24、hen should palm seeds be planted?A. In spring B. In summer C. In autumn D. In winter25.The price of a palm tree depends on its _.A. age B. width C. height D. weight26.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Who likes to buy palm trees. B. How to transport palm trees.C. Why small palm trees are not sold.
25、 D. What kind of palm tree is popular.27.An indoor palm tree _.A. needs a lot of sunlight B. needs not much waterC. should be grown without central heating D. should be grown without air conditioning C We humans love to stare into our smart devices. We gaze for hoursabout 10 hours and 39 minutes a d
26、ayat our computers, smartphones, tablets and televisions. Is all this staring bad for us? It might be, mainly because as we stare at our devices we are exposing(暴露) ourselves to blue light. Blue light is a type of electromagnetic(电磁的) radiation with a very short wavelength that produces a high amoun
27、t of energy. While its true that light can damage our eyes under certain circumstances, theres no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes. But many people still think it is, which is why bluelightblocking glasses are so popular. So do the glasses work? “Everyone is very
28、 concerned that blue light may be causing damage to the eye, but theres no evidence that it may be causing serious damage，”Dr. Rahul Khurana, clinical spokesman for the American Academy of Ophthalmology, told Business Insider. Blue light exposure is nothing new. In fact, the sun is the largest sourc
29、e of blue light. Moreover, blue light is also present in LED light. But if blue light isnt harmful, then why are we constantly rubbing our eyes when were looking at our screens? The answer is eyestrain(眼疲劳): More than 60 percent of people experience eye problems associated with digital eyestrain. An
30、d blue light, it seems, isnt the cause. Instead, our eyes are so strained because most of us blink less when we stare at our digital devices. So if eyestrain is the issue, bluelightblocking glasses are probably of little use.28What do we know about blue light? AIt is a kind of nuclear radiation. BIt
31、 has the shortest wavelength. CIt may come from electronic devices. DIt consumes a great deal of energy.29What causes the popularity of bluelightblocking glasses? AEvidence of their benefits to eyes. BBelief in blue lights harmful effect. CWide spread use of smart devices. DScientific understanding
32、of blue light.30What can be inferred from paragraph 4? ABlue light exposure is hardly avoidable. BEye problems are not easy to deal with. CBlue light may connect with tired eyes. DRubbing eyes makes people strained.31According to the text, wearing bluelightblocking glasses may be _ Atiring Bharmful

From smart home security to selfdriving cars, all the Internetconnected devices in our life will be able to talk to each other at lightningfast speeds with reduced delay. Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G downloa
34、d speeds in the US top out at an average of 19.42 Mbps. But by comparison, 5G promises gigabit(千兆) speeds. “5G is one of those heralds(预兆), along with artificial intelligence, of this coming data age，” said Steve Koenig, vice president of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. “The
35、 selfdriving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age, and that is to say, it is a sign of time, because with one single task, driving, you have massive amounts of data coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors are collecting a lot of information to model its environment as it moves
36、. Its pulling in data from other vehicles about road conditions down the lanes. It could be weather information, or connected infrastructure(基础设施) construction. Theres lots of data behind that task, which is why we need the capacity and high speed.” And virtual reality glasses and headsets havent ye
37、t become the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smartphones. With 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assistor even replacesmartphones. Ericsson stated
38、at Februarys Mobile World Congress how smart glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could rely on hardware for processing power. But dont get too excited. Theres still a lot of work to be done in the meantime,
39、including various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction, so 5G isnt concentrated only in big cities.32What is the first paragraph mainly about?AThe coming world of 5G.
