a. enthusiastic. b. optimistic. c. negative. d. neutral.4. why does prim minister david cameron feel a little bit comfortable?a. only a score of 37 percent of britons go against him.b. many of the poles and french think well of him.c. more than 60 percent of the europeans are in favor of keeping the euro.d. angela merkel has 74 percent voters supporting her.【参考答案】1-4bacb【广东省汕头市金山中学2016届高三上学期期末考试】“cant hold a candle to” is a popular expressionwhen there wasnt electricity, someone would have a servant light his way by holding a candlethe expression meant that the person who cannot hold a candle to you is not fit even to be your servantnow，it means such a person cannot compare or competeanother expression is“hold your tongue”it means to be still and not talk“hold your tongue”is not something you would tell a friendbut a parent or teacher might use the expression to quiet a noisy child“hold out”is an expression one hears often in sports reports and labor newsit means to refuse to play or workprofessional football and baseball players“hold out” if their team refuses to pay them what they think they are worththe expression“hold up” has several different meaningsone is a robberya man with a gun may say,“this is a hold upgive me your money”another meaning is to delaya driver who was held up by heavy traffic might be late for workanother meaning is for a story to be considered true after an investigationa story can hold up if it is proved true“hold on”is another expression，which means wait or stopas you leave for school，your brother may say,“hold on，you forgot your book” it is used to ask a telephone caller to wait and not hang up his telephoneour final expression is“hold the line”that means to keep a problem or situation from getting worseto hold steadyfor example，the president may say he will“hold the line on taxes”he means there will be no increase in taxes4. the expression“cant hold a candle to”can be used when _ a. some footballers refuse to play a gameb. someone else is wanted on the phonec. someone is not qualified for a positiond. someone was delayed by heavy traffic5. the tune of the phrase“hold your tongue”is probably a little _ a. amusing b. polite c. unfriendly d. offensive6. if some teachers“hold out”，they probably _ a. change their attitude b. refuse to workc. make a compromise d. show their devotion7. which of the following sentences can convey positive meanings? a. i was late as i was held up by a hold upb. hold on! you have to pay the bill，sirc. you cant even hold a candle to michael d. i promise to hold the line on house prices【答案】 4c5c6b7d【解析】试题分析：本文属于文化类说明文，介绍了英语中几个常用的短语，介绍了每个短语的内在含义和具体使用语境并举例进行了说明。4. c 推理判断题。根据第一段后2行the expression meant that the person who cannot hold a candle to you is not fit even to be your servantnow，it means such a person cannot compare or compete这个短语是指那些不会给你拿蜡烛的人是不适合做你的仆人的，也就是说这样的人是不合格的。故该短语是指c项含义。5. c 推理判断题。根据文章第二段another expression is“hold your tongue”it means to be still and not talk“hold your tongue”is not something you would tell a friend课hold your tongue表示让对方不要说话，保持安静。这是一个不太礼貌的用语。不是我们经常和朋友讲的用语。故c正确。6. b 推理判断题。根据文章第三段第二句it means to refuse to play or work可知hold out表示罢工或者拒绝工作。如果老师hold out说明老师拒绝上课了。故b项正确。7. d 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段that means to keep a problem or situation from getting worseto hold steady可知hold the line表示不让事情失败，让事情保持稳定。这个短语表示的是褒义。故d正确。考点：考查说明文阅读【广东省汕头市金山中学2016届高三上学期期末考试】a team of engineers at harvard university has been inspired by nature to create the first robotic fly. the mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated systems. designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.“its extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components (元件),” said robert wood, the harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. a few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “the added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.they engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “the seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything its connected to,” said wood. the flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.while this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers fields or on the battlefield. “basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “you can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “so there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.”8. the difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that _.a. they had no model in their mindb. they did not have sufficient timec. they had no ready-made componentsd. they could not assemble the components9. it can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly _.a. consists of a flight device and a control systemb. can just fly in limited areas at the present timec. can collect information from many sourcesd. has been put into wide application10. which of the following can be learned from the passage?a. the robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects.b. animals are not allowed in biological experiments.c. there used to be few ways to study how insects fly.d. woods design can replace animals in some experiments.11. which of the following might be the best title of the passage?a. father of robotic flyb. inspiration from engineering sciencec. robotic fly imitates real life insectd. harvard breaks through in insect study【答案】 8c9b10d11c9. b 推理判断题。根据第三段倒数第二句“he flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems”可知a项是错误的。根据第四段第一句“while this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source”和“basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,”可知，目前由于电池等的限制，只能在有限的区域飞行。因此b项是正确的。根据第四段的“so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers
