23、信息匹配（共1小题）

阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项只能用一次。

Careful and careless are as different as fire and water． But it is strange that quite a few scientists have both these qualities (品质)．They are both careful and careless．

【1】   ．

Once Newton invited a friend to dinner at home． When they were ready to eat, Newton left to get a bottle of wine (酒)． 【2】  , Newton still didn’t come back． At last his friend found Newton in his lab．When Newton was going to get the bottle of wine, he suddenly had a new idea for his experiment．So he quite forgot his friend and the dinner． Another time, Newton was leading a horse up a mountain, and he held the rein (缰绳) in his hand． While he was walking along, he kept thinking about problems．【3】   , he found that the horse was gone．

Einstein was another example．  【4】  ． While waiting, he became lost in thought． It started to rain． The rain kept on for some time． When he took out a piece of paper to write something down, the paper was wet and then he knew that it was raining．【1】  ,he again forgot he was standing in the rain．

24、An idiom is a phrase that we can’t understand from the meaning of each word. For example, if an American boy asks his mum what’s for dinner, she may say, “I’ll play it by ear.” That means she doesn’t have plans for dinner and she will decide later.

“Play it by ear” used to mean playing music without using the sheet music(活页乐谱), but now it’s different. There are many idioms in English. If you learn to use them, your English will be much more colorful.

Have you ever heard the idiom “He bought the farm”? It means “He died”. Do you know how it became popular? It was first used in World War I. When a soldier died, the government gave his family enough money to buy a farm.

In the early 1930s, people in the US often did not know when or where their next meal was. So as soon as they got something in their hands that could be eaten, it would go into their mouths. That was how people began to use the idiom “live hand to mouth”.

And don’t be angry if your English friend says this to you, “Break a leg in your game!” He is wishing you good luck! Hundreds of years ago, people believed in sprites(小精灵). Sprites enjoyed causing trouble. If sprites heard you ask for something, they would make the opposite happen. Tell someone to “break a leg” and sprites would make something good happen.

【1】“I’ll play it by ear” can be used to answer the question “________”.

A．What do you think of the concert?

B．What else do you know about it?

C．What will you do if it rains tomorrow?

D．What’s your favorite piece of music?

【2】When one lives hand to mouth, he or she is ________.

A．in need

B．in trouble

C．in danger

D．in peace

【3】When we hear “Break a leg”, we should say “________”.

A．How can you say that

B．Thank you

C．I’m sorry to hear that

D．Please watch your mouth

25、任务型阅读阅读下列短文，根据短中的信息完成文后表格。（每空一词）

Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night? Then you cannot pay enough attention during a test or in your study. If so, then you know that is stress. You are worried too much about something. The bad feeling in your mind can make you angry, sad, or scared, and can even give you a stomachache or a headache.

However, some kind of stress is good. You might feel excited when you are called to give a speech at school. You feel nervous but excited. This kind of stress can help you to get things well done. And you may do a better job in your test if the stress pushes you to prepare more beforehand(提前).

On the other hand, bad stress can last long if you are unable to come over your problems. You may not feel well, if your parents are having a quarrel, if a family member is badly ill, if you’re doing poorly at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy. That kind of stress isn’t going to help you. And it can actually let you do worse in your daily life.

The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life. Make sure you get enough sleep and eat properly. Have some regular exercise. You should take some time for fun. Get advice from your parents, teachers and friends. Soon after that, you’ll probably get away with your stress.

26、Is it a tree? Is it a bear? If you are looking at a tree in the shape of a bear, it’s a topiary(林木修剪). A topiary is a tree or bush(灌木) that is trained into a shape. Growing a topiary garden takes both time and skill.

The first thing a topiary gardener(园丁) does is to make a drawing. The drawing shows the form the gardener would like a tree or bush to take. The gardener then chooses the bush for the topiary. It may be one that was just planted or one that is already in place. Special bushes are used for topiaries.

In June of the plant’s first year, the gardener looks for new leaves. When the leaves grow, it is time to shape the bottom of the bush. The gardener shapes the bottom of the bush for about five years. The top is not cut during this time.

In the fifth year, the bush grows all enough for shaping. Then the gardener begins to shape the whole bush. Sometimes branches(树枝) are bent to form a shape. The gardener wires(用金属线固定) the branches in place.

Once a topiary has been started, it needs care all year. In the summer it must be cut many times to keep its shape. This cutting also helps the bush grow. In the winter the bushes don’t grow. The gardeners have to brush snow off the plants. Snow can hurt the flat parts of the plants.

Topiary gardening is a very old art. The Romans(罗马人) did it in the first century. In the sixteenth century, people in Europe liked topiaries too. By the late 1600s, topiaries were also grown in America. Today there is a topiary garden in Virginia. It’s much like a garden that grew there hundreds of years ago.

【1】According to the passage, a topiary is ________.

A．a shaped tree

B．a shaped bear

C．a trained animal

D．a special shape

【2】In paragraph 2, we can know that ________.

A．any bush can be used for topiaries

B．the tree being chosen must be just planted

C．the gardener draws the shape of a tree they want to make

D．the first step is to choose a tree or bush to cut for the topiary

【3】What is shaped in June of the plant’s first year?

A．The top of the bush.

B．The bottom of the bush.

C．The whole bush.

D．The branches of the bush.

【4】According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A．We should keep snow on the top of a topiary.

B．A topiary needs to be taken care of only in summer.

C．The Americans did topiary gardening in the first century.

D．The topiary gardening has a long history in the world.

【5】From which is the text most probably taken?

A．A physics textbook.

B．An art magazine.

C．A moving novel.

D．A storybook.

27、  Our new foreign students are going to arrive very soon, and here are some ways to communicate with them politely.

How close do you stand when you talk to a friend? You can stand close to people in the Middle East but don’t stand too close to North Americans! Give them more personal space.

Do you know How to touch people correctly? Chinese girls often walk arm in arm with their friends. South Americans sometimes hold your arm when they talk to you, so you can’t move away! But in Britain many people don’t like other people to touch them at all.
