public activitiesd. theyre money raisers for the poorbthere are so many expressions in american english that sound pleasant but are not. “face the music” is a good example.imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. she gives you the key and says, “thanks so much for watching my car while im away. but please, do not drive it. it is an extremely fast car.” but you do not listen. you want to show off and pretend the car is yours. so, you drive it around the town. as a result, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. the damage is serious. when your friend returns, you must tell her what you have done and “face the music.” that could mean losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both. whatever the music is, you must face it.the expression is more than 150 years old. in 1851, the writer james fenimore cooper explained “face the music” as theatrical term. in a theater, the orchestra(管弦乐队) often sits in the front of the stage facing the musicians. many actors are very nervous, a condition called stage fright. “face the music” came to mean accepting stage fright and not giving in to it.word experts also say “face the music” may have come from the military. a soldier who did something terrible could be forced out of the army. when that happened, the army drummers would play slow, sad beat. the soldier would be led away seated backward on a horse and facing the music of the drums.there are other american expressions that mean the same thing as “face the music.” if someone says, “you made your bed. now lie in it,” they mean you created a bad situation and now you will experience the result.25. what does the underlined part “the music” in paragraph 2 refer to?a. the unpleasant musicb. the beautiful red sports carc. the music played by the orchestrad. the bad result of your actions26. which of the following is an example of “face the music”?a. you have held a concert successfullyb. you will buy the sports car you like bestc. your friend invites you to attend a live concertd. you have to go home with your bad exam results27. what is most likely to be discussed following the last paragraph?a. the origin of “you made your bed. now lie in it.”b. some other expressions similar to “face the music.”c. the true meaning of “you made your bed. now lie in it.”d. other examples to explain the meaning of “face the music.”cone night, pilar was in a deep sleep when she was woken by her cat inti. inti was meowing wildly outside pilars bedroom and throwing himself against the closed bedroom door. when pilar opened her eyes, she saw that her bedroom was filled with smoke. as she escaped her house with inti in her arms, she saw that a fire was burning in her kitchen. pilar could easily have lost her life, but inti would not let that happen. even though inti could have escaped the house through a cat door, he wouldnt leave pilar.as amazing as this story is, it is not as uncommon as you may think. take the example of charlotte lee and her horse, thunder. one summer night, the whole family was asleep with the windows open. it was normally very quiet where they lived. suddenly, there was a loud noise. charlotte woke up from her sweet dream, and the noise continued. then she heard a horse running fast towards the house. the next thing she saw was thunder standing outside her window, neighing(嘶叫) and shaking his head. she knew something was wrong. charlotte quickly got everyone out of the house before the earthquake hit. thunder has saved her life.there are also stories of wild animals coming to the rescue of humans. one animal known to be a friend of humans is the dolphin. once, todd endris was surfing with his friends when he was attacked by a 13-foot(4-meter) shark. in the middle of the attack, a group of dolphins came to his rescue by forming a protective ring around endris until he could get safely to shore. without the help of the dolphins, there is little chance that todd could have escaped.no one is sure why animals have so often come to our rescue. however, it is clear that humans and animals enjoy a close relationship. it is important that we care for them as much as we can.28. why did inti throw himself against the door?a. he was trying to wake up his ownerb. he wanted to get out of the roomc. he felt bored and was playing by himselfd. he couldnt find the way out because of smoke29. before the earthquake hit, charlotte .a. closed the windowsb. was sleeping deeplyc. ran to warn her neighborsd. got her horse out of the stable30. both inti and thunder .a. were shy and quietb. used to make noise at nightc. were brave and smartd. saved their owners several times31. what might todd say to those dolphins?a. leave me aloneb. you are real heroesc. why are you leavingd. what are you doing heredwhen parents discover their children have lied to them for the first time, it can often come as a shock to find their little treasures are capable of such a trick. but new research has suggested many parents may not even notice many of the lies their children tell them.psychologists have discovered that most parents are over-confident in their childrens honesty and this may impair their ability to discover a lie.the findings may help to explain why some parents seem to be willing to let their children get away with almost anything even in the face of the evidence. they say parents suffer from a “truth bias(偏见)” with their own youngsters, but when faced with lies from other peoples children, they have less difficulty telling if a statement is true or not.dr angela evans, a psychologist at brock university in canada, said, “the close relationship that parents share with their own children may lead to parents failing to detect their childrens lies. parents truth bias may result in parents being less suspicious of their children, allowing them to successfully cheat them.”most children are thought to start lying as early as two years old but start telling more believable lies at around the age of four years old. learning how to lie is considered as a key part of cognitive(认知的) and social development in children. but many parents are shocked when their children start lying to them. in their study, dr evans and her colleagues filmed 108 children aged between 8 and 16 as they performed a test after being asked not to look at the answers. they were then asked afterwards if they had looked, with 50 truthfully denying looking, 49 lying about looking and 9 admitting to looking.videos of those denying looking were then shown to 152 parents of children aged 8 to 16, 80 of whom had children who had taken part in the test. the researchers found that the parents were less able to spot lies told by their own children than by other peoples children.32. what does the underlined word “impair” in paragraph 2 mean?a. showb. developc. damaged. recognize33. when lying to their parents, children cant be easily found because .a. their parents pretend not to see the liesb. their parents arent prepared for the liesc. they are very good at hiding their liesd. they know how to lie to their parents34. what does dr evans want to find about childrens lying?a. what makes parents lose trust in their childrenb. what causes children to tell lies to their parentsc. what makes parents fail to see their childrens liesd. what affects childrens relations with their parents35. what can be inferred from dr evanss study in the last two paragraphs?a. parents tend to protect their own childrenb. lying is a part of childrens developmentc. children aged 8 to 16 are very likely to tell liesd. parents can judge lies told by children of others more easily第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。3 tips for
