23、Cats and dogs are the most popular pets in America. So it is not surprising that we can find different sentences (句子)about cats in a language book when we learn English.

Unlike dogs, it is difficult to teach cats to do something. Cats are not like sheep or cows that can be moved in a group. So we say a difficult or impossible job is like “herding(放牧) cats”.

Everybody knows cats and mice are “good friends”. Sometimes, a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches, such as a mouse. So if your daughter offers something sweet to her little brother and then takes it away when he reaches for it, you can use "play cat and mouse". What will children do in a classroom when their teacher leaves for a few minutes? They are sure to make as much noise as possible."When the cat's away, the mice will play" has the same meaning.

There are a lot more sayings about cats. Americans might say "the cat's miaow" to describe（描述） something that is the best or finest. “A fat car" means a person with lo of money. If you tell about something secret（秘密）, we say you “let the cat out of the bag”. If you are not able to speak or answer a question, someone might think 'the cat has got your tongue(舌头)". Also, you may often hear the sentence “Curiosity(好奇) killed the cat.” That means caring too much about things that are not your business(与你无关之事) might lead to serious problems.

【1】What may you say if you want someone to keep the secret for you?

A. Curiosity killed the cat. B. Has the cat got your tongue.

C. Don’t let the cat out of the bag. D. Let’s play cat and mouse.

【2】Which of the following can we use “Curiosity killed the cat” to describe?

A. Someone always asked a lady her age or weight and it made her angry.

B. Someone made a big noise as soon as the teacher left the classroom.

C. Someone won the first in the final test and he felt very excited.

D. Someone got the newest iPhone as a present from his parents.

【3】What can we learn from the article?

A. We can use “A fat cat” to describe a fat man or a person who eats too much.

B. There are more sentences about cats than those about dogs.

C. It’s more difficult to keep sheep or cows than cats.

D. “Play cat and mouse” usually means “play tricks on sb”.

【4】Where can you find the article?

A. In a science report about cats.

B. On a website telling people how to keep cats.

C. In a magazine telling different jokes and funny stories.

D. In a language book that teaches students how to use saying about cats.

24、In the early days, many people in San Francisco came from China. Some worked as labours(劳工)in the gold fields, and others on railroads. They were poor people when they first came to America. They worked very hard to save money. When the Chinese could afford to, they built houses much like their homes in China. Some opened stores to sell products from China to other Chinese. Others opened restaurants to serve Chinese foods. These people enjoyed the things they were used to having in their homeland.

Today, Grand Avenue is the main street to the very large Chinese-American community called Chinatown. Children who live in this area go to the San Francisco City School. Some also go to Chinese language schools to learn how to read and write Chinese.

People from different places enjoy visiting Chinatown. They may buy beautiful carvings or silks in the Chinese shops. They like to eat the different foods served in the Chinese restaurants.

Visitors to Chinatown also enjoy hearing the sounds of China. The music seems strange because it sounds so different from American music.

The best time to visit Chinatown is during the Chinese New Year, usually in February. A big procession(游行队伍)to celebrate the New Year which is led by a huge dragon made from paper and silk is the most impressive show for visitors.

25、根据短文内容及所给提示，补全文中单词或用所给词的正确形式填空。

Long ago, there was a poor young man. He loved r【1】 books very much. But his family was s【2】 poor that he couldn’t go to school. At the same time, there was a rich man in another village and he had many b【3】. The young man heard of that and decided to borrow some f【4】 him.
