10.Have you ever considered all the English expressions that include words about clothes?Let's see if Ican name a few proverbs"off the cuff"since I haven't prepared for it.
English expressions with"pants"
People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies.We sometimes say that people who are
restless or nervous have"ants in their pants."They might also"fly by the seat of their pants"--they use their natural sense to do something instead of their learned knowledge.Sometimes,people may"get caught with their pants down"--they are found doing something they should not be doing.And,in every family,one person takes control.Sometimes a wife tells her husband what to do.Then we say"she wears the pants in the family."
When people what to say something about money
Pants usually have pockets to hold things.Money that is likely to be spent quickly can"burn a hole in
your pocket."Sometimes you need a belt to hold up your pants.If you have less money than usual,you may have to"tighten your belt"--you may have to live on less money and spend your money carefully.But once you have succeeded in budgeting your money,you will have that skill"under your belt."
I always praise people who can save their money and not spend too much.I really"take my hat off to them."Yet,when it comes to my own money,I spend it"at the drop of a hat"--immediately,without waiting.And sadly,you cannot"pull money out of a hat"--you cannot get money by inventing or imagining it.
English expressions with"shoes"
Boots are a heavy or strong kind of shoes.People who are"too big for their boots"think they are more
important than they really are.I dislike such people.I really do.You can bet your boots on that!
Yet,truly important people are hard to replace.Rarely can you"fill their shoes"--or replace them with someone equally effective.
English expressions with"shirt"
My father is an important person.He runs a big company.He wears a suit and tie and a shirt with
sleeves that cover his arms.Some people who do not know him well think he is too firm and severe.They think he is a real"stuffed shirt."But I know that my father"wears his heart on his sleeve"--he shows his feelings openly.And,he knows how to"keep his shirt on"--he stays calm and never gets angry or too excited.
56.What is this passage mainly about?D
A.How to say English correctly and properly.
B.Why English expressions include words about clothes.
C.Which words can be used to describe my father.
D.What people mean when they use some proverbs.
57.Which of the following proverbs are not related to money?C
A.tighten one's belt                        B.burn a hole in one's pocket
C.get caught with their pants down           D.pull money out of a hat
58.Tim often considers himself the most important person in the world,which is far from the truth.We may sayA.
A.he is"too big for their boots"
B.he"bet his boots on that"
C.he"fill their shoes"
D.he"wears his heart on his sleeves"
59.If you want to praise somebody for his calmness when facing danger,you may sayC
A."you really fill your shoes".
B."Awesome!You wear your heart on your sleeves".
C."Amazing!How can you keep your shirt on at that time!"
D."Cool!You are truly a stuffed shirt".
60.The underlined expression"off the cuff"probably meansA.
A.with little or no preparation beforehand      B.without the limit of the cuff(袖口)
C.without much difficulty                       D.without dressing properly.

分析 文章介紹了日常生活中的一些小諺語,這些諺語中都用了一些衣服的詞語,比如說褲子,我們說休息很少的人或者是非常焦慮的人叫著ants in their pants.褲子上的螞蟻.當我們的錢少的時候,我們會說tighten your belt,要扎緊你的腰帶,下文也提到了用shoes和shirts作的諺語等等.

解答 DCACA
56.D文章大意題.根據(jù)第一段Have you ever considered all the English expressions that include words about clothes?Let's see if I can name a few proverbs"off the cuff"since I haven't prepared for it.可知你有沒有考慮過包含"衣服"單詞的習慣用語,下文分別舉例說明了含有pants,belts,shoes,shirts英語單詞的用語所表達的含義,故答案應為D.A如何正確地合適地使用英語,B為什么英語習慣用語里面含有衣服的詞語.C哪些話用來描述我的父親.均不符合題意.故選D.
57.C細節(jié)理解題.Money that is likely to be spent quickly can"burn a hole in your pocket."大意為:花得太快的錢就意為"口袋里燒了一個洞"; If you have less money than usual,you may have to"tighten your belt"大意為:如果你的錢比平常要少的多了,你就不得不"扎緊你的腰帶"I always praise people who can save their money and not spend too much.I really"take my hat off to them."大意為我總是贊揚那些很會節(jié)省錢,不花那么多錢的人,我真是脫下帽子向他們(致敬).故選C.
58.A細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)People who are"too big for their boots"think they are more important than they really are.可知凡是"boo big for their boots"的人總是認為,他們要重要得多比實際情況.這里是指總認為自己很重要,而事實并非如此.故選A.
59.C細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)he shows his feelings openly.And,he knows how to"keep his shirt on"--he stays calm and never gets angry or too excited.可知他顯示出他的感受是(向外)展示的,他知道怎么樣去"keep his shirt on"(把襯衫穿在身上),他總是很平靜,從來不會生氣或者是太激動.故選C.
60.A詞義辨析題.根據(jù)第一段Let's see if Ican name a few proverbs"off the cuff"since I haven't prepared for it.可知因為我還沒準備好,來看看我是否能夠命名一些諺語"off the cuff".由此可知,"off the cuff"的意思是預先沒有準備.故選A.

點評 閱讀這類文章時,也應該在整體把握文章結構的前提下,主要注意細節(jié)信息.細節(jié)題題干都是相應原文的變形(如同義改寫、詞性轉換等),因此要找到答案一定要找到題干在原文中的出處,再把原文和選項相比較.做題時,根據(jù)所提問題用尋讀、跳讀的方法可達到事半功倍的效果.
