題目列表(包括答案和解析)

This is a list of the origins of some slang words or phrases that we all use regularly．These words are common in almost all English speaking nations．

Cool

Who hasn't used this word at least once in their life when speaking highly of something? This meaning of the word is relatively new in English，but not as new as you might think．The earliest record found so far is from 1884 in the phrase“Dat’s cool!”

Kick the Bucket

This means“to die”．Many people consider the term to have come from a guilty man standing on an upturned bucket which was then kicked out from under his feet leaving him to hang，but there is no written evidence that this is the case．In fact，it is more likely from a different type of bucket entirely．In butchery(肉食店)，when a pig was killed it would be hung from a pole．It is mostly likely that in his death throes(垂死掙扎)，the pig’s feet would bang against the rail(橫桿)to which they were tied．Therefore，kicking the bucket was a term referring to the last actions of the pig before he finally died．

Bob’s Your Uncle

Bob’s your uncle generally means that something is simple or easy or a“job done”．It is most likely that this phrase came about as a result of nepotism(裙帶關(guān)系)．In the late 1800s， Lord Salisbury(first name Robert)was prime-minister of Great Britain．After his third term he was succeeded by his nephew Arthur．Arthur had been made Chief Secretary of Ireland in 1886． Suspicions arose that Robert was favoring his nephew Arthur．The term“Bob’s your uncle”could be used at the time as a reference to this charge of nepotism．

36．What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．The most commonly used slang words in the world．

B．The origins of some most．commonly used slang words or phrases．

C．The origins of English words and phrases．

D．Common words and phrases in English speaking countries．

37．If you want to praise something，the slang words or phrase you may use is“ “．

A．Cool B．Kick the Bucket

C．To Die D．Bob’s Your Uncle

38．From the passage we can infer that the slang phrase“Kick the Bucket”――．

A．is the oldest in meaning among all the English slang words or phrases

B．has the same meaning as“Kick the Ball”

C．will be never used in the future

D．has something to do with pigs

39．The underlined word“succeeded’’in Paragraph 4 means“ “．

A．taken position of B．brought up C．killed D．driven away

40．You may read this passage in ．

A．a(chǎn) science fiction B．a(chǎn) cook book

C．a(chǎn)n English vocabulary text D．a(chǎn)n advertisement

閱讀理解

　　“Mom, I have cancer．”These four words catapulted my son and me on a journey that lasted two years．On that dat I felt a wave of paralyzing fear．

　　Scott was the oldest of my four children．He was 33 years old and a successful assistant principal at SamRayburn Hifht School in Pasadena, Texas．He and his wife Carolyn were busy raising four active children．Scott was 6'2'', weighed 200 pounds and had never been sick a day in his life．

　　A few month earlier a mole(痣)on his neck had changed color．“Dr．Warner called,” Scott said that spring morning．“It's melanoma．(黑素瘤)” I tried to comfort him, naming all the people I knew who had survived skin cancer．Yet, I felt small tentacles of fear begin to wrap around my chest．

　　Our next stop was MDAnderson, the famous cancer hospital in Houston．Scott had surgery at the end of May and was scheduled for radiation treatments over the summmer recess．“There is an 80 percent chance it won't reoccur,” the doctors said．At the end of summer, all his tests came back negative and Scott was back at school in the fall．However, in December, Scott discovered a lump on his neck．It was examined and the result came back “malignant．(惡性的)” We now relized that Scott fell into the 20 percent category．I could feel the tentacles tightening around my chest．He entered the hospital for an aggressive treatment, a combination of interferon and interleukin．

　　After five months of treatment, he had radical surgery on his neck．The test results were encourging, only three of the 33 lymph nodes(淋巴結(jié))removed were malignant．We were very hopefull．

　　For the next six months, Scott's follow-up visits went well．Then in October, X-ray revealed a spot on his lung．The spot was removed during surgery and the doctors tried to be optimistic．It was a daily battle to control the fear and panic each setback brought．

　　In January, he was diagnosed as having had a “disease explosion．” The cancer had spread to his lungs, spine and liver and he was given three to six months to live．There were times during this period when I felt like I was having a heart attack．The bands constricting my chest made breathing difficult．

　　When you watch your child battle cancer, you experience a roller coaster of emotions．There are moments of hope and optimism but a bad test result or even an unusual pain can bring on dread and panic．

　　Scott was readmitted to the hospital for one last try with chemotherapy．He died, quite suddenly, just six weeks after his last diagnosis．I was completely destroyed．I had counted on those last few months．

　　The next morning I was busy notifying people and making funeral arrangements．I remember having this nagging feeling that something was physically wrong with me．It took a moment to realize that the crushing sensation in my chest was gone．The thing every parent fears the most had happened．My son was gone．Of course, the fear had been replaced by unbearable sorrow．

　　After you lose a child, it is so difficult to go on．The most minimal tasks, combing your hair or taking a shower, becoming monumental．For months I just sat and stared into space．That spring, the trees began to bloom; flowers began to pop up in my garden．Friendswood was coming back to life but I was dead inside．

　　During those last weeks, Scott and I often spoke about life and death．Fragments of those conversations kept playing over and over in my mind．

　　“Don't let this ruin your life, Mom．”

　　“Make sure Dad re models his workshop．”

　　“Please, take care of my family．”

　　I remember wishing I could have just one more conversation with him．I knew what I would say, but what would Scott say? “I know how much you love me, Mom．So just sit on the couch and cry．” No, I knew him better than that．Scott loved life and knew how precious it is．I could almost hear his voice saying, “Get up Mom, Get on with your life．It's too valuable to waste．”

　　That was the day I began to move forward．I signed up for a cake decorating class．Soon I was making cakes for holidays and birthdays．My daughter-in-law told me about a writing class in Houston．I hadn't written in years, but since I was retired I decided it be time to start again．The local college advertised a Life Story Writing class that I joined．There I met women who had also lost their children．The Poet Laureate of Texas was scheduled to speak at our local Barnes and Noble．I attended and joined our local poetry society．I never dreamed that writing essays and poems about Scott could be so therapeutic．Several of those poems have ever been published．In addition, each group brought more and more people into my life．．

　　I don't believe you ever recover from the loss of a child．Scott is in my heart and mind every day．However, I do believe you can survive．

　　Scott fought so bravery to live and he never gave up．He taught me that life is a gift that should be cherished, not wasted．It has taken years to become the person I am today．The journey has been a difficult , painful process but certainly worth the effort and I know that my son would be proud．

(1)

What might be the best title of the passage?
[　　]
A．	Life is valuable
B．	Grieving and Recovery
C．	Love and sorrow
D．	Alive or dead

(2)

How old was Scott probably when he died?
[　　]
A．	33
B．	35
C．	37
D．	40

(3)

What does the underlined sentence “ The bands constricting my chest made breathing difficult” probably imply?
[　　]
A．	It implies that Scott's mother was likely to have a heart attack．
B．	It implies that there was something wrong with Scott's mother's chest．
C．	It implies that Scott's mother was very upset and panic because of Scott's severe illness．
D．	It implies that the cancer had spread to her chest just like her son．

(4)
