Some

idiomatic

phrases

in

English,

often

used

in

both

spoken

and

written

language,

are very confusing! They don’t even make sense when you first see them. However,

using one of these phrases correctly when speaking or writing to an English speaker

is very impressive and shows that you are comfortable with the language. Here are

some wonderful and interesting British idioms. Use them wisely.

When pigs fly!

This expression is one of my favorites and I use it all the time. It is used

primarily

when

speaking,

meaning

that

something

is

extremely

unlikely

or

impossible.

For example, “I will forgive him when pigs fly!” “When do you think you will get

a gym membership, Lucy?” “When pigs fly!”

A penny for your thoughts?

This

question is used in a situation where someone appears thoughtful or is very

quiet

seeming

lost

in

thought.

But

remember

that

you

don’t

actually

have

to

pay

them

a penny if they do

tell

you

what is going on! For example,

“You’ve b

een a bit quiet

this evening, Pete. A penny for your thoughts?”

It’s the bee’s knees

The

phrase

dates

back

to

the

1920s,

and

refers

to

an

extraordinary

person,

thing,

idea, and so on. For example, “Try this chocolate. It’s the bee’s knees.”

To feel a bit under the weather

I use this expression in many different situations but most use it to refer to

feeling ill, or unwell. You would not use this phrase if you were feeling extremely

unwell. It is only for those times when you are feeling a little ill or suffering

from something slightly like a cold or a cough. However, this can also be used to

refer to feeling emotionally low.

21. What will you say if you think something is special?

A. When pigs fly!

B. A penny for your thoughts?

D.

To

feel

a

bit

under

the

B. It’s the bee’s knees

weather.

22. Which of the following sentence can replace “A penny for your thoughts?”

A. What can I do for you?

C. How are you feeling?

B.

What

are

you

thinking

about?

D. How do you like it?

23. Why does the author write the passage?

A. To introduce some useful idioms.

B. To show how to remember idioms.

D. To arouse the interest in

C. To tell people the importance of idioms.

idioms.

B

I look around and can’t recognize where I am. It seems familiar but distant.

I see my friends gather by a stage where music is playing and I run over. As I begin

running towards them, they become further and further away. I keep calling them,

but

no

one

hears

me.

I

start

hearing

a

distant

alarm-like

sound

and

I

am

transported

away.

I woke up in a daze sitting in my bed.

“Oh,

it

was

only

a

dream,”

I

said

to

myself.

I

have

always

had

vivid

and

intense

dreams. It feels like I haven't even slept because I have been living out my dreams

during my sleep.

Today, dreaming is being studied even more than ever. Some say that dreams are

how your receptors make sense of random thoughts while you sleep. Some say that you

can’t

dream

of

a

face

you

have

never

seen

before,

so

everyone

you

see

in

your

dreams

you have at least laid eyes on at one time or another.

Other

people

think

dreams

are

ways

of

expressing

stress

or

internal

feelings

you

may be experiencing. A lot of people say that they have dreams about being chased.

A common interpretation of the “being chased” dream is that you are feeling

threatened.

Some

dream

interpretation

websites

say

you

should

try

to

reflect

on

what

or who is chasing you to get a better idea of what is making you feel this way.

Another dream that is often experienced is flying. This dream has a much more

positive interpretation, which is that you are feeling free or have broken out of

a bad situation such as a relationship turned sour or a job you hate.

Unfortunately, you may forget half of your dream within five minutes of waking

up and within 10 minutes, you usually forget 90 percent of it.

Dreamologists,

people

who

devote

time

to

the

study

and

interpretation

of

dreams,

suggest

if

you

want

to

try

to

remember

and

study

your

dreams

you

should

keep

a

journal

beside

your

bed

and

write

down

what

you

dreamt

as

soon

as

you

wake

up

so

you

can

reflect

on it later.

24. What does the author think of his dreams?

A. They have influenced his sleep.

C. They are just his random thoughts.

When

we

think

of

a

generation

gap

we

usually

think

of

conflicting

tastes

in

music,

or

pastimes.

But

now

the

generation

gap

is

handwriting.

After

one

teacher

in

Tennessee

discovered that she had students who couldn’t read the assignments

she was writing

on the board, she posted it on the Internet saying handwriting should be taught in

schools.

Opponents

claim

that

handwriting

has

become

out

of

time

in

our

modern

world.

Typed

words

have

become

a

primary

form

of

communication.

Once

a

practical

skill,

handwriting

is

no

longer

used

by

the

vast

majority

of

Americans.

It

is

no

longer

taught

in

schools,

and some claim that the time that it would take to teach it could be put to better

use, for instance, by teaching the technical skills.

But even i

n today’s world there are still plenty of reasons to pick up a pen

and

apply

it

to

paper.

Many

American

institutions

still

require

original

signatures,

for

instance,

signing for

a

registered letter

and

buying a

house. And

original

signatures

are much more difficult to forge

（伪造）

than their digital counterparts.

There

is

also

strong

evidence

that

writing

by

hand

is

good

for

the

mind.

It

activates

a different part of the brain, and improves fine moving skills in young children.

People also tend to remember what they write by hand more than what they type, and

the

process

of

writing

by

hand

has

been

shown

to

stimulate

ideas.

Not

only

that,

studies

have shown that kids who write by hand learn to read and spell earlier than those

who

don’t.

Not

to

mention,

handwrit

ing

is

pleasing,

as

is

evidenced

by

the

fact

that

no one has ever typed a love letter. And handwriting remains popular as an art form.

Yes we live in a modern world, but we live in a modern world that is based on

fundamental values.

28. What did the teacher find in her class?

A. Her students had a big generation gap with her.

B. Her handwriting was too terrible to understand.

C. Some students could not recognize her handwriting on the blackboard.

D. Some students’ handwriting on the blackboard was too diffi

cult to tell.

29. Why do some people agree to teach handwriting in school?

A. Handwriting is very easy to remember.

C. Handwriting can help one buy a house.

of time.

30. What can we infer from the passage?

A. What people write by hand is not easy to fake.

B. Lovers often write love letters to each other.

C. Handwriting is unnecessary in our modern society.

D. Technical skills are more important than handwriting.

31. What is the authors attitude towards teaching handwriting in school?

A. Opposed.

Supportive.

China officially informed the World Trade Organization on Tuesday that it will

ban the import of 24 different types of solid waste by the end of this year as part

of a campaign to deal with environmental pollution and protect people’s health.

In

response

to

growing

public

concerns

over

the

potential

environmental

and

health

danger caused by the increasing amounts of solid waste imported

into the country

for

recycling and treatment, China passed a special law in 1995 to control imports of

C. Unconcerned.

D.

waste materials, such as plastics, slag from steelmaking, unsorted scrap paper and

discarded textile materials.

A year later, the country published a list for solid waste imports and began

implementing

a

permit

system

to

control

the

import

volumes

and

types

of

waste

imported.

However,

due

to

the

lack

of

effective

supervision

（监管）

and

the

failure

of

relevant

departments to fulfill their duties, solid waste imports have not been effectively

controlled.

So far, China is the world’s largest importer of solid waste. According to the

Ministry of Environmental Protection, China imported 7.3 million metric tons of

plastic

waste

worth

$$3.7

billion

in

2016,

accounting

for

56

percent

of

global

imports

of solid waste.

Correct recycling of solid waste materials is an important part of the global

economy,

and

moderate

imports

of

scrap

plastic,

scrap

paper

and

scrap

rubber

products,

such as vehicle tires, can to some extent, make up for China's shortage of various

raw materials.

However, the lack of supervision has resulted in the country’s severe soil and

environmental worsening.

Given

that

China’s

continuing

efforts

to

push

for

industrial

transformation

and

upgrading have resulted in a noticeable decline in the demand for the materials

recycled

from

solid

waste

imports.

It

is

right

for

the

country

to

restrict

such

imports

for

the

sake

of

the

environment

and

public

health,

and

to

better

adapt

to

the

changed

industrial structure.

32. Why will China ban the import of some waste materials?

A. The amount of imported solid waste is increasing.

B. The demand for imported solid waste is in decline.

C. Some solid waste has damaged the environment and public health.

D. People are more concerned about the environment and health now.

33. Which phrase has the same meaning as the underlined word?

A. Carrying out.

Fighting against.

B. Putting off.

C. Calling off.

D.
