When you check in, you will know more about the evening party. D If you say, “ The cat’ s out of the bag” instead of “ The secret is given away,” you’ re using an idiom. The meaning of an idiom is different from the actual meaning of the words used. “ An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is a proverb. Proverbs are old but familiar sayings that usually give advice. Both idioms and proverbs are part of our daily expressions. Many are very old and have interesting histories. See how many of these expressions you know. “ Bury the hatchet.” Native Americans used to bury weapons to show that fighting had ended and enemies were now at peace. Today, the idiom means to make up with a friend after an argument of fight. “ A close shave.” In the past, student barbers learned to shave on customers. If they shaved too close, their customers might be cut or even hardly escape serious injury. Today, we use the idiom if a person narrowly escapes disaster. “ Raining cats and dogs.” In Norse mythology the dog is associated with wind and the cat with storms. This expression means it’ s raining very heavily. To “ shed crocodile tears.” Crocodiles have a reflex that causes their eyes to tear when they open their mouths. That makes it look as though they are crying while swallowing their food. In fact, neither crocodiles nor people who shed “crocodile” tears feel sorry for their actions. “ Saved by the bell.” In 17thcentury England, a guard at Windsor Castle was accused of falling asleep at his post. He claimed he was wrongly accused and could prove it。 he had heard the church bell chime (鳴響 ) thirteen times at midnight. Townspeople supported his claim and he was saved. Today we think of the bell that ends a round in boxing, often saving the boxer from injury, or the bell at the end of a class period, saving you from more work. Now this idiom means rescue from a situation at the last possible moment. 32. The best title of this passage will probably be ___________. A. Everyday Expressions B. Not Idioms But Proverbs C. Idioms and proverbs are old D. Idioms or proverbs 33. The purpose of this article is to ________.

No one in my school has ever been to Canada. 第二節(jié) （共 5小題；每小題 2分，滿分 10分） 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。 Every student has tests when they are at school. But have you ever been so worried about the tests that you can’t fall asleep at night? Have you ever felt sick or h a d a h e a d a c h e d u r i n g a t e s t ? 36 . This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, frustrated, scared, or afraid which can give you a stomachache or a headache. 37 . Good or normal stress might happen when you are called to answer a question in class or when you have to give a speech. This kind of stress can help you to get things better done. 38 . But bad stress can happen if the stressful feelings keep going over a long time. You may not feel well if your parents are fighting, if a family member is ill, if you are having problems at school, or if you are going through anything else that makes you upset every day. 39 . 40 . That means making good decision about how to spend your time. If you are only dealing with school stuff and have no time to play, you can get stressed. Make sure you keep your SELF in mind: Sleep, Exercise
