Centuries ago, when the Bible was (2)_from Hebrew into Greek, many Hebrew and Greek idioms have become part of English. However, many of these idioms have either lost their (3)_ meanings or have only a (4)_ or loose connection to them now. For instance, “by and by” was used to mean (5)“_”, but now it means “before long”. Originally biblical idioms had (6)_ and clear meanings because they were often intended to (7)_ the moral of a story and to give (8)_ an image to help them understand the story better. A well-known idiom “feet of clay” comes from a dream story in the Bible. Nowadays, it is used to mean that there is a (9)_ weakness in somebody we admire or respect. Some idioms from the Bible are connected with animals, which are used to (10)_ an image. Besides, another (11)_ of biblical idioms is often food or things related to food. For instance, children are often (12)_ to as the “apple of their parents eyes”, which means that their parents love them very much and are very proud of them. It comes from an (13)_ written by King David in the Bible, in which he asked God to remember to take care of him like a child. In fact, idioms are an important part of language and used in everything from (14)_ to films and newspaper. We can benefit a lot from learning them. For example, studying them can help improve your (15)_ and if you learn enough important idioms, you can develop a high level of (16)_ in your communication skills. Whats more, if you have a (17)_understanding of English idioms and their (18)_, you can better understand and (19)_the history and cultures of English-speaking countries because idioms are (20)_ of history and culture. 同步练习一参考答案I.（1-5）BBABD （6-10）ABADD （11-15）AADAC Keys:II. 1. represent 2. recognize 3 underline 4 clay 5. focus 6. competence1. by and by 2. have feet of clay 3. see the handwriting on the wall 4. kill the fatted calf 5. apple of their parents eye 6. you reap what you sowIII. 1. in other words 2. a number of 3. quite a few of 4. in Hebrew 5. lose their original meanings 6. have only a vague or loose connection to them 7. have straightforward and clear meanings 8
