Monkeys are also known for acting silly. So, when kids act up, parents or teachers may tell them to stop monkeying around. It means to do things that are not useful or serious, or to simply waste time. Now, in the United States, children do not usually have monkeys as pets, but they do often have dogs. And dogs make most children feel happy. But for some reason, we use dog in a phrase that means to feel unwell. If you are as sick as a dog, you are really sick and will most likely stay home from work or school. Besides, dogs and cats are also favorite pets here in the States. This next phrase bines cats and secrets to make a very mon expression. Let39。s say you know a secret, a big secret. And let39。s say you tell it to people. You have just let the cat out of the bag! This idiom means revealing (揭示) a secret or telling facts that were previously (先前) unknown. If you let the cat out of the bag, you spoil a surprise. So, if your friend is planning a big surprise birthday for another friend, don39。t let the cat out of the bag by accidentally saying it in front of the birthday girl. Even though this is a very mon idiom, the origin of to let the cat out of the bag is also unknown. If you are doing an outdoor activitysuch as hiking in the woods, or having a piic in a parkwhat are some things that may disturb your good time? Bad weather could. And so could bugs! Crawling pests like ants, and flying ones like mosquitoes, could make your experience unfortable or annoying. So, when we bug people we bother them so much that we affect their good time. This mon expression is often said as a mand: Stop bugging me!(1)According to the passage, monkeying around is considered _______. (2)If you ask somebody to reveal a secret, you may use the phrase _______. bugging me sick as a dog around the cat out of the bag(3)What is the meaning of the phrase stop bugging me? 39。t trouble me. up your good time. feeling annoyed.39。t fort me.(4)What is the passage mainly about? names of animals in the English language. meaning of some English phrases. origins of phrases about animals. strange usages of some words.【答案】 (1)A(2)D(3)A(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,介紹了幾個(gè)有趣的帶有動物名稱的英語習(xí)語的意思,以及它們適用的情景。 (1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“Monkeys are also known for acting silly. So, when kids act up, parents or teachers may tell them to stop monkeying around. It means to do things that are not useful or serious, or to simply waste time.”猴子也以愚蠢而聞名。因此,當(dāng)孩子們行動起來時(shí),父母或老師可能會告訴monkeying around。它意味著做一些沒用或不嚴(yán)肅的事情,或者只是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間。可知,通常把孩子們胡鬧稱為monkeying around,這種行為被認(rèn)為是silly的。故選A。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“Let39。s say you know a secret, a big secret. And let39。s say you tell it to people. You have just let the cat out of the bag! This idiom means revealing (揭示) a secret or telling facts that were previously (先前) unknown.”(假設(shè)你知道一個(gè)秘密,一個(gè)大秘密。假設(shè)你把它告訴別人。你剛剛泄露了秘密!,可知let the cat out of the bag指的是透露一個(gè)秘密或者告訴別人以前未知的事實(shí)。如果你要求某人透露一個(gè)秘密,會用到這個(gè)習(xí)語。故選D。 (3)考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)最后一段中的“when we bug people we bother them so much that we affect their good time. This mon expression is often said as a mand: ‘Stop bugging me!’”當(dāng)我們打擾別人的時(shí)候,我們會打擾他們太多以至于影響了他們的好時(shí)光。這個(gè)常見的表達(dá)經(jīng)常被當(dāng)作命令來使用:“Stop bugging me !”可知當(dāng)我們打擾別人或影響別人時(shí),別人會說Stop bugging me,意為“別打擾我,別煩我”。故選A。 (4)考查主旨大意。本文介紹了monkeying around(It means to do things that are not useful or serious, or to simply waste time.),as sick as a dog(If you are as sick as a dog, you are really sick and will most likely stay home from work or school.),let the cat out of the bag(This idiom means revealing (揭示) a secret or telling facts that were previously (先前) unknown.),stop bugging me(when we bug people we bother them so much that we affect their good time.)四個(gè)有趣的帶有動物名稱的英語習(xí)語的意思,故選B。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,詞義猜測和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇文化類閱讀,要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上,進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進(jìn)行分析,推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。8.閱讀理解 I can39。t stop looking at my phone, but I39。m not alone.

But if you understand the tricks that grab your attention, you can learn to have a healthier relationship with your phone. It starts with turning off all notifications(推送通知), except when a real human is trying to reach you. But a lot of today39。s apps simulate the feeling of that kind of social interaction, to get you to spend more time on their platform. If Facebook sends you a push notification that a friend is interested in an event near you, they39。re essentially acting like a puppet master, taking advantage of your desire for social connections so that you use the app more. Today you can get notifications from any app on your phone. So, every time you check it, you get this grab bag of notifications that can make you feel a broad variety of emotions.
