三、阅读单选

                         （一）

Cats are the most popular pets among Americans. So it is not surprising there are many expressions (表达) about cats. Do you know any of them? Now let me introduce some to you.

Some cats like to catch small birds, like canaries. If someone looks very proud or satisfied with himself, we say he looks like the cat that ate the canary.

Sometimes, a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches. So if you play cat and mouse with someone, you change between different kinds of behavior when dealing with another person. For example, a child might offer something sweet to her little brother, and then take it away when he reaches for it.

A cat will often catch a small animal and present it to its owner. The saying that looks like something the cat dragged (拖) in describes something in bad condition.

A fat cat is a person with a lot of money.

There are many other expressions about cats in America. How interesting! Which kind of cat are you, or which kind would you like to be?

31．Americans like ________ best as pets.

A．dogs B．pigs C．cats D．mice

32．The canary is a kind of ________.

A．dog B．cat C．fish D．bird

                              （二）

In English, the word “pig” has many idioms (习语). Now, let’s pick up some of them.

Let’s begin with some very interesting expressions. We all know pigs spend a large amount of time eating. As a result, many pigs are fat. In English, we use the idiom “eat like a pig” to describe people who eat a lot. But it can be rude to use this idiom.

Another interesting idiom to learn is “lipstick (口红) on a pig”. While you think this expression describes a beautiful thing, the opposite is true. We use this idiom to say that no matter how well we decorate an ugly product, it is still ugly. Even the most expensive lipstick cannot fix it!

“Pigs might fly” is an idiom widely used in daily life. It’s used to show that you do not believe something will ever happen. For example, Rick has been smoking for twenty years. Once he said he would give it up. His friends all laughed and said, “Yes, and pigs might fly.”

The last idiom we are going to lean is “guinea pig” (豚鼠). The guinea pig is actually not a pig. It is a rat that has short legs and no tail. Many children keep the animal as a pet. But if we say someone is used as a guinea pig, it means new ideas. methods. or medical treatments are tested on them.

36．What’s the best title of the passage?

A．Pig Idioms. B．Year of the Pig. C．Different Pig. D．Habits of the Pig.

37．Putting a new cover on a broken phone is just like ______.

A．eating like a pig B．putting lipstick on a pig

C．decorating a flying pig D．keeping a guinea pig

38．It’s ______ to use the idiom “eat like a pig” to describe people who eat a lot.

A．wonderful B．fantastic C．polite D．impolite

39．______ has the similar meaning to “pigs might fly”.

A．磨刀不误砍柴工 B．竹篮打水一场空 C．失败乃成功之母 D．太阳从西边出来

As we know, English has become an important language. It’s more popular than any other foreign languages in China. English is widely spoken in the world and it’s the most useful language around the world.

But how can we learn English well? The best way is to use it all the time. If we can talk in English, think in English, we can learn it well. At school, we should learn to hear, speak, read and write carefully. We should spend enough time in reading and speaking English, memorizing new words and phrases, and grasping the grammar focus. If we keep on working hard at it, we will be able to be good at it one day.
