But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an a
26、musing experience.One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, he seemed to be astonished. Gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You dont say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not
27、an appropriate（恰当的）topic.“Well, Id better change the topic.” So I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there? ” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent.” He was deep in thought when I beg
28、an to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his words: “You dont say!”I couldnt help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didnt request you to do so,” he answered, greatly surpris
29、ed. I said, “Didnt you say You dont say?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “ You dont say actually means really. It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you dont pay attention to English idioms.” Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have
30、been more careful with idiomatic expressions.61. A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because_.A. English idioms were not importantB. I was not careful with English idiomsC. my teacher didnt emphasize the importance of themD. I had interest in them62. At first, on hearing “You dont say”

The Englishman wanted me to act as his guide.D. The Englishman visited the Great Wall and thought it worth visiting.Passage B Sports can help y
33、ou keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment. Some sports are resource-hungry(消耗资源的). Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large a
34、reas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses （球场） in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious wate
35、r shortage in some local areas. There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You dont need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes, and you dont have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also k
36、eep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control. Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and
37、buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms(体育馆)”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for
38、you to start your membership. And best of all, its free. 65. Which of the following does the author most probably suggest? A. Bicycle riding around a lake. B. Playing golf on a golf-course. C. Playing basketball in a gym. D. Swimming in a sports center. 66. What do we know about golf from the passag

A. show us the function of major sports B. encourage us to have green sports C. discuss the major influence of popular sports D. introduce different types of environment-friendly sports Passage
41、C Quite different from storm waves are the giant sea waves called tsunamis( 海啸), which are from the Japanese expression for “high water in a harbor”. These waves are also referred to by the general public as tidal waves, although they have relatively little to do with tides. Scientists often refer t
42、o them as earthquake sea waves, far more appropriate in that they do result from earthquake activity.Tsunamis often occur in the Pacific because the Pacific is an area of heavy earthquake activity. Two areas of the Pacific well accustomed to the threat of tsunamis are Japan and Hawaii. Because the e
43、arthquake activity that causes tsunamis in Japan often occurs on the ocean bottom quite close to the islands. The tsunamis that hit Japan often come with little warning and can therefore prove disastrous(灾难性的). Most of the tsunamis that hit the Hawaiian Islands, however, originate（起源）thousands of mi
44、les away near the coast of Alaska, so these tsunamis have a much greater distance to travel and the people of Hawaii generally have time for warning of their arrival.Tsunamis are certainly not limited to Japan and Hawaii. In 1755, Europe experienced a disastrous tsunami, when movement near the Azore
45、s caused a massive tsunami to sweep onto the Portuguese coast and flood the heavily populated area around Lisbon. The greatest tsunami on record occurred on the other side of the world in 1883 when the Krakatoa volcano（火山） underwent a massive explosion（爆炸）, sending waves more than 30 meters high ont
46、o nearby Indonesian islands. The tsunami from this volcano actually traveled around the world and was witnessed as far as the English Channel.69. The paragraph before this passage possibly is about _.A. giant sea waves B. storm wavesC. earthquake activities D. history of tsunami70. Tsunamis in Hawai
47、i are more likely to _.A. cause more problems B. come without warningC. happen deeper undersea D. be formed far away from the coast71. The tsunami caused by Krakatoa volcano in 1883 must _.A. have brought massive waves to the English ChannelB. have brought a huge disaster to the Indonesian islandsC.
48、 have been felt from the rest of the worldD. have thrown Lisbon into a state of disorder72. It is implied in the passage that tsunamis _.A. are always higher than 20 metersB. are not dangerous on the coast C. can be forecasted as soon as they take placeD. do not take place like regular tidesPassage
49、D Time and time again, one may be warned, “Your name will be mud.” Many have used the expression in the mistaken belief that it has something to do with the kind of dirt found in the streets or on unclean river bottoms. But the expression comes from the name of Doctor Samuel Alexander Mudd, a physic
50、ian who fixed the broken leg of John Wilkes Booth, the man who killed President Abraham Lincoln. Doctor Mudd treated Booths injured leg without knowing who he was. A small group helped Booth to plan Lincolns murder（谋杀）. They were all caught and sentenced to death or prison terms（监禁）. Doctor Mudd had
51、 nothing to do with Lincolns murder or with any of the men who had planned it. All seemed to show that he was an innocent（无辜的） man. But he had given some kind of help only to leave Booth to escape. This in itself was a crime then. And so, Doctor Mudd was sentenced to prison for life.In prison, Docto
52、r Mudd saved many prisoners and guards in a yellow fever outbreak. President Andrew Johnson set him free in 1869, after the doctor had spent almost four years in prison.The murder of Lincoln was certainly a heavy blow to the American people. It filled them with bitterness that lasted many years. The
53、y hated Booth very much and they also hated anybody who had helped the murder in any way. Doctor Mudd was freed, but people never forgave（原谅） him and his name passed into American folk speech as something bad and hateful. The Mudd family had also suffered a lot because of the name until not long ago
54、.73. The best title for this passage is _.A. Abraham Lincoln, the Great President for the American PeopleB. Your Name Will Be MudC. Social Problems in the U.S. during the 1860sD. Old Law System of the U.S.74. From the last paragraph it can be inferred that _.A. Doctor Mudd has recently been set free
55、B. Doctor Mudds innocence was declaredC. there will be more expressions with mudD. the American people hate everyone who kills the president75. If it had not been for President Andrew Johnson, Doctor Mudd _.A. would have spent the rest of his life in prisonB. would have been sentenced to five years
56、prison lifeC. would be a doctor foreverD. would not suffer a lot from the name 第卷（共25分）四.翻译（共5小题，每小题2分,共10分）以下句子均来自阅读理解，请根据上下文将它们译成中文。答案直接写在试卷上。76One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. （Passage A）77Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. （Passage A）7
