I never let them take rides from people they didn39。t know.”和第五段中的“Isn39。t there enough crime (犯罪) today without asking for trouble by hitchhiking? On the other hand, hitchhiking may bring some traffic trouble.”可知作者一直教育他的孩子不要和陌生人講話更不能坐陌生人的車，他認為即使沒有搭便車所造成的麻煩，當今的犯罪已經夠多了，而且搭便車還會給交通帶來麻煩。故推測作者是一個很細心而且見過很多事的人。故選D。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據第三段中的 “Don39。t they understand how dangerous it is to get into the car driven by a stranger? How much do they know about the driver? Is he a good driver or not? They know nothing!” 可知作者認為很多人不知道搭便車很危險，故推測他寫信的目的是讓報紙?zhí)嵝讶藗兇畋丬囄ｋU。故選A。 （5）考查推理判斷。根據第一段中的“Can39。t your newspaper do something about the custom (習慣) of hitchhiking?”作者反問報紙“難道你們的報紙不能為搭便車的習慣做些事嗎？”可推測，如果是一個好的編輯，在看到信后會寫一篇關于搭便車會有安全隱患的文章刊登到報紙上。故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，并根據上下文的邏輯關系，進行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。 5．閱讀理解 Idioms are one of the hardest parts of learning a language. For those of you who don39。t know, an idiom is a phrase which has a meaning, but the meaning is not clear from the words themselves. If you translate an idiom word for word, it sometimes makes no sense at all. They are like puzzles and even native speakers can get confused when someone uses a phrase that they39。ve never heard of.With that in mind, here are five mon English idioms that you can use in a variety of Situations.⒈Get your act together (Meaning: you need to improve your behaviour/work) This might be something your teacher says to you if you score badly in an exam or if you misbehave in class. You can also use it to talk about people in general. For example, if your friend is being mean or nasty for no reason, then you can tell them that they need to get their act together.⒉Pull yourself together (Meaning: calm down) This is a somewhat impolite way of telling someone that they are overreacting and that they need to relax. Only use this if you think the person you are speaking to is getting upset over something insignificant. If your friend tells you that their close relative has died, it is NOT the time to tell them to pull themselves together.⒊I39。m feeling under the weather (Meaning: I39。m sick) Yes, it39。s longer and more difficult to say than 39。I39。m sick39。, but if your English teacher asks you why you haven39。t done your homework, he or she is more likely to forgive you if you say that you were feeling under the weather. You may not have done your English homework, but your teacher might be impressed that you know how to make eloquent excuses in a foreign language.⒋It39。s a piece of cake (Meaning: it39。s easy) I don39。t know why this means what it does, but sometimes you just have to accept that English people use weird phrases.⒌Break a leg (Meaning: good luck!) This is perhaps one of the most confusing yet wellknown English idioms. If someone says this to you, do not take offence or think they are threatening you。 they are just wishing you luck. It is most often used for people wishing success to actors and actresses before they perform on the stage, but it can be said in other situations, too. All in all, learning a new language can be challenging. It39。s definitely not a piece of cake, especially when there are so many confusing idioms. However, with enough hard work and interest, you will succeed in no time. Break a leg!（1）Which idiom is proper for you to say to your worried classmate who is to take part in the 800metre race at the school sports meet? your act together. yourself together. a leg.39。s a piece of cake.（2）How should you respond when you hear your deskmate say, I am feeling under the weather. A.What39。s wrong with you?B.Don39。t worry. Let39。s call 120.C.Get up and finish your homework.D.Why don39。t you take an umbrella with you?（3）According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about idioms?
