高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

English is full of funny expressions that don’t always make sense. What do they mean? How do we use them? And where did they come from? Idioms are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of each word you see or hear, you may not understand the idiom because you don’t understand the culture behind it. Here are some English idioms based on animals.

When children jump around and act silly, for example, their parents may tell them to stop “monkeying around”. To “monkey around” means to do things that are not useful or serious, or to simply waste time.

But spending time playing with their family pets wouldn’t count as “monkeying around”. Many American families have a pet dog, which keeps the children company and makes them happy. Bu for some reason, which American language experts do not know, Americans use “dog” in a phrase that means to feel unwell. If you are “as sick as a dog”, you’re really, really sick and will have to stay home and rest or even go and see a doctor.

Apart from dogs, cats are also beloved in U.S. households. Sometimes you may hear them mentioned in Americans’ conversations, “I told you to keep that secret, but you have just ‘let the cat out of the bag’!” You probably guessed it — that idiom means to reveal a secret or tell facts that were previously unknown.

Dogs and cats don’t always get along, but they appear side by side in a commonly used idiom. When it rains heavily, people might say it’s “raining cats and dogs” outside.

Bad weather often ruins people’s plans for outdoor activities. But on a lovely day, they can go on an outing or have a picnic in the park. If a swarm of tiny bugs decide they love your picnic food and start to hover (盘旋) around you and your friends, then it would be really annoying, wouldn’t it? That experience perfectly explains why people often tell someone who keeps bothering them to “stop bugging me”.

Idioms are very common in both spoken and written English, so learning them is very important. If you need to understand English, or if you want to speak or write natural-sounding English, you have to learn idioms.

1.According to Paragraph 1, idioms are_____.

A.phrases and sentences based on animals

B.expressions with rich cultural background

C.funny expressions that always make sense

D.the total sum of the meanings of the words

2.“Monkeying around” can be used to describe children_____.

A.jumping around and wasting time

B.doing something useful and serious

C.playing with monkeys with their parents

D.spending time playing with their family pets

3.What can be learned from the text?

A.Dogs and cats are friends by nature.

B.Bugs can be used to show your annoyance.

C.Americans believe cats can give away secrets.

D.Americans know the origin of the idiom “as sick as a dog”.

4.How does the text mainly develop?

A.By sharing experiences. B.By making comparisons.

C.By providing examples. D.By quoting experts' words.

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Being young is great. Most of the parts of your body still work great, you have a full head of hair, you’re energetic, and you have a world of opportunity in front of you. However, there’s going to come a time when you start to get older. And as you get older, you’ll have new responsibilities, complete independence, and perhaps most importantly, less time to recover from mistakes.

You see, we all make mistakes in life. Maybe you spent more money than you should have on a car, you passed up on a great job opportunity, or you didn’t try as hard as you could have in school. It’s a part of life and we learn from it. But there are certain mistakes that are much better made while you’re still young and have plenty of time to recover.

I’m definitely not telling you that you should purposely go out and make these mistakes (because they’re a pain to recover from). But these are all mistakes that are much better made when you’re younger so that you can learn from them and not have them ruin your entire life.

Starting the wrong career

Wouldn’t you hate to be 45 years old and discover that you absolutely hate what you do for a living? It’s a reality that a lot of people face and it can be difficult to fix. You see, when you’re 23 and find out you don’t like the career path you’ve chosen, you can easily explore new career options.

We no longer live in an age when people are expected to stay with one company until they retire. You can bounce around a little bit and find out what you want to do. When you get older, just switching careers whenever you want isn’t as simple.

You have to consider your family, retirement, the difficulties you might run into with starting from the bottom in a new industry, and plenty of other issues that someone in their early 20’s just doesn’t have to deal with.

Dating the wrong person

The divorce rate in the U.S is extremely high. Other parts of the world aren’t doing too much better either. While everyone gets divorced for their own reasons, I think we can all agree that it’s better to find out that the person you’re with is wrong for you sooner rather than later.

Hopefully you find out whether or not the person you’re with is right for you before you tie the knot, because around 50% of first marriages end in divorce.

Messing up your credit

Ruining your credit is never a good idea. Even if you ruin it while you’re young, it could affect you in the future. The upside of having bad credit while you’re young instead of older is that you have time to build it back up.

It can take 7-10 years to rebuild your credit if you have a history of late payments, loan defaults, foreclosures, or bankruptcy. During those 7-10 years, you’ll have a hard time financing anything unless you have a cosigner or put down a substantial down payment.

Most people tend to make most of the bigger purchases in life when they get older such as a house or their dream car. If you have bad credit, you can kiss all of that goodbye.

Making bad investments

If you’re investing money for your retirement, making bad decisions can mean you’ll be working your entire life. Whether you choose to pay someone to do the investing for you or handle it all yourself, it’s a lot better to take risks when you’re younger.

If you invest in stock or even real estate while you’re young and the market takes a hit, you’re not ruined. Investing is a long-term venture, so the younger you start, the more fluctuation you can withstand and still come out with a positive return.

Blowing your money

What would you do if you went broke at 60 years old? You would be working your behind off when you really should be relaxing and getting ready to retire soon.

But if you’re 25 and broke, you still have plenty of time to earn more money. Also, nobody will judge you because it’s not unusual for people in their 20’s to not have money these days. You might have blown your money on a nice car or have an obsession with all the newest gadgets.

When you get older, you’ll be able to look back and realize how dumb you were for spending $20,000 on a brand new car when you were only 20 years old. But when you’re older and waste your money, you’ll REALLY have nothing to show for it.

1.The following are all the advantages of being young EXCEPT ___________.

A. you have more time to recover from mistakes

B. most of the parts of your body still work great

C. you have many responsibilities and complete independence

D. you have a world of opportunity in front of you

2.You can bounce around a little bit and find out what you want to do. “Bounce” in this sentence is most similar in meaning to __________.

A. My father would burst into the kitchen bouncing a football.

B. The wind was bouncing the branches of the big oak trees.

C. I was an army brat, I always bounced a lot when I was young

D. The ex-boxer's job is to bounce people who want to enter this private club.

3. What does the author really mean by saying “it’s a lot better to take risks when you’re younger”?

A. You should purposely go out and make these mistakes so that you can learn from them and not have them ruin your entire life.

B. There are certain mistakes that are much better made while you’re still young and have plenty of time to recover.

C. When you get older, you’ll have rich experiences to share with your friends and families however dumb you were

D. The younger you start, the fewer risks you can withstand and still come out with a positive return.

4.We can infer from the passage that ___________.

A. about 50% of first marriages end in divorce in the U.S, much higher than other parts of the world

B. never tie the knot before you make sure he or she will not divorce you

C. it usually takes 7-10 years to rebuild one’s credit if it is broken for any reason

D. it’s unusual for people in their 20’s to have money these days

5.The author wrote this article mainly to tell the young ____________.

A. if you are to take risks, the earlier, the better

B. it’s better for the young to take any risk than the older

C. that they should make big purchases such as a house when they get older

D. if you don’t take risks when young, your youth will be dumb

The secret in re-remembering is to allow the full power of your memory to flow freely without “trying” to remember any one specific (特定的) thing.

I recently sat down to a relaxed and enjoyable dinner with some friends. At the beginning of the meal, a friend told us that his car had just been broken into and his briefcase (公文包) had been stolen. He was frustrated (懊恼的) because his diary and a number of other items important to him were in the briefcase. He said he could remember only four items that were in his stolen briefcase, that he knew there were many more, that he had to give a full report to the police within two hours, and that the more he tried to remember the more blocked he became.

Several of us at the table who were familiar with Memory Principles (规则) then took him through the following exercise; instead of continuing to allow him to think of what he could not remember, we asked him when he had last had his briefcase open. It turned out that it was at the office just before he left work, at which point he suddenly remembered that he had put two important magazine articles in the briefcase. We then asked him when he had last had the briefcase open before leaving home for work. It turned out to have been the night before, and he remembered having put in two more articles as well as a tape recorder, in preparation for the following morning. Finally we asked him to describe the inner (内部的) design of his briefcase, and as he went through a detailed description, he remembered pens, pencils, letters and a number of other items that he had completely “forgotten” before.

Within 20 minutes, he remembered 18 additional items. The secret is to “forget about” whatever you are trying to remember and “relive” all experiences that connect in any way with the item you are trying to remember. This method works at once almost in all cases, and takes the form of a created Mind Map around the “missing” center.

This memory method, like the others, improves your memory as well as your creativity, and in addition gives you confidence when you realize that, no matter what you have forgotten, there is still a chance to solve any memory mystery (谜团)!

1.Which of the following shows how the man remembered the items according to the passage?

2.What does the underlined word “relive” mean in the passage?

A. go through again          B. get out of     C. get used to again            D. pay attention to

3.What can be the best title for the passage?

A. Forgetting — You can never really forget

B. Drawing — The better way to remember things

C. Re-remembering — Remember what you have forgotten

D. Replacing — Forgetting something instead of remembering

The Internet is full of headlines that grab your attention with buzzwords (流行术语). But often when we click through, we find the content hardly delivers and it wastes our time. We close the page, feeling we've been cheated. These types of headlines are called “click bait”．

A headline on Business Insider reads：“This phrase will make you seem more polite”. First, when you click through, you find another headline：“Four words to seem more polite”. Then, on reading the article, you find it's actually an essay about sympathy. And what are the four words? They're “Wow, that sounds hard”. On some video websites, you might encounter headlines such as “Here's what happens when six puppies visited a campus”. It turns out that it's just some uneventful dog footage (连续镜头)．

Nowadays, with the popularity of social media, many news outlets tweet (推送) click bait links to their stories. These tweets take advantage of the curiosity gap or attempt to draw the reader into a story using a question in the headline. These click bait headlines are so annoying that someone is attempting to save people's time by exposing news outlet click bait through social media. The Twitter account @ SavedYouAClick, run by Jake Beckman, is one such example.

Beckman's method is to grab tweets linking to a story and retweet them with a click­saving comment. For example, CNET tweeted “So iOS 8 appears to be jailbreakable but ...”， with a link to its coverage of Apple's product announcements. Beckman retweeted it with this comment attached: “...it hasn't been jailbroken yet.”

Since founding the account, Beckman's Twitter experiment has brought him more than 131,000 followers. Beckman said，“@ SavedYouAClick is just my way of trying to help the Internet be less terrible.” Asked about his goal, he said，“I'd love to see publishers think about the experience of their readers first. I think there's an enormous opportunity for publishers to provide readers with informative updates that include links so you can click through and read more.”

1.The article on Business Insider turns out to be________.

A．useful suggestions on politeness

B．an essay about another topic

C．an article hard to understand

D．a link to a video website

2.Why are readers often cheated by tricky headlines?

A．Social media has become more popular.

B．Readers have questions to be solved.

C．Such headlines are fairly attractive.

D．There're always stories behind them.

3.Beckman attached his comment to CNET's tweet to ______.

A．criticize CNET

B．save readers' time

C．advertise Apple's new product

D．tell readers something about iOS 8

4.In the last paragraph, Beckman appeals that ________.
