    1．Sorry for not having got what you wanted．She kept her mouth shut and just said __________．（　　）
    A．that's her feet of clay
    B．a little bird told her
    C．she wanted to kill the fatted calf
    D．she was the salt of the earth

    分析 对不起没有弄到你想要的（东西），她闭着嘴只是说"是小鸟告诉我的"．

    解答 答案：B
    解析：B项源于英国人有一句成语说：A little bird told me（是一只小鸟告诉我的）．这句成语也有神话色彩--它出自《圣经-传道书》第十章：‘传音自有云间鸟，述事岂无众羽虫'（．a bird of the air shall carry the voice，and that which hath（have的三单形式，现已废除） wings shall tell the matter）．
    当然，英国人说A little bird told me的时候，不是真的表示自己懂得鸟语，只是用开玩笑口吻避免透露消息来源，例如：
    --"How did you know he was going to resign？"（你是怎么知道他会辞职的？）
    --"Ah，a little bird told me．"（啊，是小鸟告诉我的．）
    A项．feet of clay按字面解释"泥巴做的脚"，这个意思的确令人费解，其实它的确切解释应该是"内在缺陷、致命的弱点（a hidden weakness，usually of morals or principles）"，尤其指令人景仰的一些大人物的内在缺点．例如："He was disillusioned to find that even Lincoln had feet of clay．"习语feet of clay 也就有了"内在缺陷、致命的弱点"的意思．
    C项kill the fatted calf 设宴庆祝的意思
    D项She was the salt of the earth．她没有一点坏心眼．古人认为，盐是珍贵的天赐之物，可以防止腐烂．固定搭配the salt of the earth就用来形容那些没有坏心的人．
    综上，本题答案为B选项．

    点评 本题考查谚语，做此类题题目时一定要清楚各个选项的含义及用法，再结合句意确定最终答案．

    12．Two little children were sitting by the fire one cold winter's night．Suddenly，they heard a knock at the door．"Who can it be？"they wondered．One ran （41）curiously （curious） to open it．There，outside in the cold and the darkness，stood a child （42）with no shoes on his feet and dressed in old thin garments．He was trembling with cold，（43）so/and he asked if he was allowed to come in and warm himself．
    "Yes，come，"cried both the children．They drew the little stranger to their warm seat，（44）shared（share） their supper with him，and gave him their bed，and they slept on a hard bench．
    On the night，they （45）were awoken （awake） by sweet music，（46）whichwas played by a band of children in shining garments．Suddenly the stranger child stood in front of  （47）them：no longer cold and ragged，but dressed in silvery light．He said，"I am the Christ Child，（48）wandering（wander） through the world to bring peace and （49）happiness（happy） to good children as you．As you have helped me so much，this tree will give rich fruit to you every year．"
    When he was saying that，he broke （50）a branch from the tree that grew near the door，planted it in the ground and disappeared．But the branch grew into a great tree，and every year it bore wonderful golden fruit for the kind children．

    9．Mountaineers can be a pretty tough crowd-and among them the British Joe Simpson has legendary status．In 1985，Simpson set out to climb Siula Grande in South America．Shortly after he reached the peak，Simpson fell through an overhanging ledge of snow and broke his leg．At this altitude a broken leg means almost certain death，but Simpson somehow managed to drag himself across fields of ice and stone until he reached base camp eight kilometers away．He chose immediate goals，such as reaching a nearby rock，and then gave himself a time limit to get there．Over and over again Simpson broke the main task down into smaller goals．
    Break your main task into smaller goals．This is often the key to a successful plan to achieve challenging objectives that seem to be"mission impossible"．
    Language learning，similar to mountain climbing to some extent，is a daunting task facing most language learners．However，learning from the above story，we can apply Simpson's method to language study．My top tips for designing a study plan are as follows：
    1．Understand what kind of learner you are．
    Some people are"visual learners"and remember best by seeing pictures and visualizing things in their mind； others are"auditory"and are happy to learn by listening；"kinesthetic"learners tend to learn by doing things and experience．
    2．Realize your own competence．
    What are your strengths and weaknesses？Which skill or skills are you going to improve most？Allocate your time to each skill appropriately．It is better to do a little every day than try to"cram"（死记硬背）lots in a short space of time．
    3．Write down your plan on a calendar．
    Decide which skill and what area you are going to practice each day．More importantly，your plan should be specific and practical．Once you have a clear goal in your mind，write it down on your calendar．Each day you should carry out your plan according to your schedule．Do not delay or make up any excuses because you fail to complete your daily task．
    Studying is like climbing a mountain and you should take one step at a time．At first sight，a mountain may seem extremely high and it is impossible for you to reach its peak．However，when you set out to climb it step by step you will find that it is not so difficult as you think．Similarly，it is also true in language learning．You can improve your language skills in each aspect step by step．Don't be frightened by the seemingly hard task．Break it into smaller goals and you will fulfill your dream．

    13．One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency．You know，you would be submerged（淹没） in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more closely．We started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of Italy．
    The trip was not ve ry long but it was still very impressive．We looked forward to going there again!Of course，we spent lots of time arranging the trip，but it was well worth it!Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially anxious about my visa，but everything went quite smoothly in the end．
    The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation．In the Italian consulate（领事馆），one must hand in some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in order to get the visa．Then we had to solve the ticket problem．Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance．The next step was to book a hotel．We finally booked a hotel about thirty km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip．
    Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome．Our big house，which was surrounded by the forest，was a rare place for the fresh air and absolute silence，beautiful views，hospitable（好客的） hosts，comfortable living conditions which delighted us to no end．Besides this，we were very lucky that our mistress was Russian．She gave us a lot of advice that was of great us．She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go．
    Don't be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself．It's not difficult!The only thing I'll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves．We walked with a map and a guide-book to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the way just twice or three times．So，if you're also planning a"single"trip，don't forget to take a Russian-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue．
    29．Why does the author want to go to Italy again？D
    A．He had a great time there．
    B．Italy has a lot of attractions．
    C．His friend invited him to go there．
    D．He didn't stay in Italy long enough
    30．What does the author think was the hardest in preparing for his Italian trip？B
    A．Buying cheap airline tickets to Italy before traveling．
    B．Getting a visa without an invitation from the Italian consulate．
    C．Booking a comfortable hotel on his own in Rome．
    D．Solving the ticket problem far in advance．
    31．In the fourth paragraph the author mainly explainsB．
    A．the reason why he chose to live in the center of Rome
    B．the reason why the hotel he booked was the right choice
    C．what transport they chose to travel in their Italian trip．
    D．the reason why the mistress gave them some advice．

    The holiday was filled with activities every day．After breakfast，a local teacher would come to take us in his car．Then we would have classes or go on a sight-seeing trip to different places of interest like the Big Ben，the London Bridge，and the Buckingham palace．We would go back to our own homes after the activities．
