28、nch friend of mine, Pascale, a friend of his came up and enthusiastically asked, “What's up?” Pascale paused a moment, took a step backward and looked up, checking out the ceiling.Realizing he didn't get it, I quickly piped up and explained, “Oh, that's slang for 'How are you?'&q

29、uot; He looked confused, obviously not understanding how "Whats up?" could possibly have anything to do with “How are you?” But his friend didnt stop there."So, Pascale, did you hear how the Italian soccer team licked the French team?" As Pascale's eyes widened and his mouth

31、nnative speaker of English could fully understand an American movie, TV show, news broadcast, or even a typical conversation without help because our language is loaded with nonstandard English, i. e. , slang and idioms.Since we use both terms, slang and idiom, we ought to define them. I asked a gro

32、up of ESL teachers, "What is the difference between slang and idiom?" Everyone had their own. Answer. After consulting several dictionaries, all having slightly different opinions on the definitions, I would like to propose these definitions:SLANG: Nonstandard vocabulary of a given culture

33、. In other words, slang is typically a nonstandard word, not a phrase as in an idiom. Slang words may or may not have alternative literal meanings. They may be “made-up” words.IDIOM: A phrase that is commonly understood in a given culture to have a meaning different from its literal meaning. A good

34、example of this is "to bend over backwards". This phrase is commonly understood in our culture to mean “to make a great effort in order to accomplish something.” The literal meaning, however, is the physical act it describes, of which few may actually be capable of doing!56. When Pascale h

35、eard "What's up?" at that moment, he thought his friend meant “_” A. What are you here for? B. What has happened to you?C. How are you? D. What is on the ceiling?57. What is NOT true about slang and idiom in American English? A. They are not actually used in daily life. B. They are typ

A. a b c f B. b c d e C. a c d e D. b c d fBOver 1600 years ago, a man named Nicholas became the bishop (主教) of a village called Myra in Turkey. Later, he was made into a saint and became one of the most popular figures in Christianity. He is

39、 now the saint of children, elders and many other groups of people. He has more churches named after him than any other saint and has become one of the best-known figures in the world.

40、 is based on.One day, when St Nicholas was walking past a house, he overheard a man telling his three daughters they were so poor that they did not have enough money to get married. Later, in the darkness of night, Nicholas went back to the house and threw a small bag of gold down the chimney. He di

41、d the same thing the following night, and then again the third night, providing enough gold for all three girls to be able to get married. This is why now people say Father Christmas comes down the chimney. It is also said that one of the bags of gold fell into a stocking that was hanging up to dry

42、over the fireplace. This might be why people hang stockings over the fireplace for Father Christmas to put the Presents in.There are lots of other stories about St Nicholas giving aids to others. Many of these involve St Nicholas saving children from great danger. To honor him, many Europeans give g

43、ifts to their children on St Nicholas Day, which is celebrated on 6 December every year.The traditional picture of St Nicholas is very different from Father Christmas today.

48、d.CA cactus(仙人掌) stood all alone in the desert, wondering why it was stuck in the middle of nowhere. "I do nothing but stand here all day," it sighed. "What use am I? Im the ugliest plant in the desert. My spines (脊骨) are thick and prickly (多刺), my leaves are rubbery and tough, I can&

49、#39;t offer shade or juicy fruit to any passing traveler. I dont see that Im any use at all." All it did was stand in the sun day after day, growing taller and fatter. Its spines grew longer and its leaves tougher. It truly was strange-looking."I wish I could do something useful," it

50、sighed. By day, hawks circled high overhead. "What can I do with my life?" the cactus called. Whether they heard or not, the hawks sailed away. At night, the moon floated into the sky and cast its pale glow on the desert floor. "What good can I do with my life?" the cactus called

51、. The moon only stared coldly as it goes on its way. A lizard crawled by, leaving a little trail in the sand with its tail. "What worthy thing can I do?" the cactus called. "You?" the lizard laughed, pausing a moment. "Worthy deed? Why, you can't do anything! The hawks c

52、ircle ways overhead, tracing delicate patterns for us all to admire. The moon hangs high like a lantern at night, so we can see our way home. Even I, the lowly lizard can decorate the sands with these beautiful brush-drawings as I pull my tail along. But you do nothing but get uglier every day."

53、;And so it went on year after year. At last the cactus grew old, and it knew its time was short. "Oh, God" it cried out, "I've wondered so long, and Ive tried so hard. Forgive me if Ive failed to find something worthy to do." But just then the cactus felt a strange stirring a

54、nd unfolding. At its very tip, like a sudden crown, a glorious flower suddenly opened in bloom. Never had the desert known such a blossom? Its fragrance (香气) perfumed the air far and wide and brought happiness to all passing by.The butterflies paused to admire its beauty, and even the moon smiled wh

55、en it rose to find such a treasure. The cactus heard a voice. "You have waited long," the God said. "the heart that seeks to do good reflects My glory, and will always bring something worthwhile to the world, something in which all can rejoice (得到喜悦) -even if for only a moment."6

56、4. What does the underlined word "sailed" in the second paragraph mean? A. surfed on the water B. flew in the sky C. moved on a ship D. dived into the water.65.
