They eat, talk, shout and sing. They smile and they kiss. In the English language, there are many expressions about the word “mouth”. But some of them are not so nice.For example, if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest and say “Do not bad mouth me.”Sometimes, people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret because it hurts that peoples feelings. Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to. The speaker might say: “I really put my foot in my mouth this time”. If this should happen, the speaker might feel down in the mouth, In other words, he might feel afraid for saying the wrong thing.Sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the same thing that his friend was going to say. When this happens, the friend might say: “You took the words right out of my mouth!” Sometimes a person has a bad or unpleasant experience with another person. He might say that experience “left a bad taste in my mouth”. Or the person has possibly had a very scary experience, like being chased by an angry dog. He might say, “ I had my heart in my mouth.”Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. There is an expression for this, too. You might say such a person “was born with a silver spoon in his mouth”. This rich person is the opposite of a person who lives from “hand to mouth”. This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food.（1）When a man says “I had my heart in my mouth”, usually he means he is _.

He held a sign which said, “I am blind. Please help me.”There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the new words.Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognizedhis footsteps and asked, “Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?”The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way.”What he had written was, “Today is a beautiful day, but I cant see it.”Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beautiful day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.The first is: Treasure (珍惜) what you have.

So it is hardly surprising that boys are now far more likely（可能的） than girls to go to universities.Eclipsed (黯然失色)Mary Curnock Cook, a leader of the University, is so worried about the future of boys that she wants to see a national effort to solve the problem. If this difference goes on growing, girls born this year will be 75% more likely to go to university than boys.So what is at the root of this gap（差距）? Are there changes in the nature of universities which have led to the dominance of girls on campus? Are girls simply better at schoolwork these days, and boys less interested?By the time teenagers get to their high school, the number of girls is bigger. So before they sit a single exam, there are probably more girls than boys who are likely to go to university.Waste of time?The average grade for a girl is C+ compared to C for a boy at A-level examinations. But the differences between boys and girls start much earlier on.According to a University of Bristol study, boys are nearly twice as likely as girls to have fallen behind by the time they start school. Primary schools often have more female teachers, and mothers helping out.According to the study, girls and boys often have different attitudes towards schoolwork. The report says: Boys are more likely than girls to regard school as a waste of time. Whats more, boys tend（倾向） to spend over one hour less per week on homework than girls. They are more likely to play computer games and less likely to read outside of school.There are a lot of boys thinking they can get away with the least work and wanting to spend their time doing other more interesting things, says Roger Leighton, the former head teacher of Sydney Russell School. Girls, on the other hand, tend to understand the need to work hard earlier on - they take a longer view.（1）Mary Curnock Cook wants to _. A . find out the cause for the differenceB . find out the number of girls on campusC . see boys work harder than they used toD . see people work together on the problem（2）The underlined word dominance in Paragraph 4 probably refer to _. A . achievement in schoolworkB . position of advantageC . progress in subjectsD . control of attention（3）What can we learn from the passage? A . Boy do better at some levels of education.B . There are changes in the nature of universities.C . Girls spend more time on schoolwork than boys.D . Boys and girls perform similarly in primary school.（4）Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage? A . Which is more attractive to students?B . What do girls understand better than boys?C . Why do more girls than boys go to university?D . Who is more likely to do a better job in universities?16. （5分）先通过读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在文章后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。所填单词必须写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。每个空格只能填一个单词。 In many childrens stories, a girl meets a prince and falls in love.
