However, what did they really mean when they were first used? Look at the following to find out. ‎ clear as a bell Now, it is used to mean something that can be understood without difficulty. Back then? Before the time of loudspeakers (扩音器), church bells were used to inform a village or town of danger, death or something important. These church bells were big and their sounds carried long distances so ‎ that they could be heard from faraway farms. The sounds were loud and clear — clear as a bell.‎ rain cats and dogs This sounds silly. How can cats and dogs be rained from the sky? Okay, they can’t be rained from the sky, but they can fall down from slippery (滑的) roofs. In Middle-aged England, these animals used to live on the roofs of houses. When it rained heavily, the roofs would become slippery and these animals would fall onto the ground below. So now this saying means raining heavily. ‎ saved by the bell This phrase is often used in classes where students are “saved” from answering difficult questions by the school bell. Its beginning was quite fearful. Hundreds of years ago in England, there was a fear of being buried alive. Maybe because medicine wasn’t as developed as it is today, it was difficult to tell if someone was really gone forever. To make sure someone who was buried alive could be saved, a little bell was tied to the person’s hand. This way, if he woke up underground, the grave keepers would hear the bell and save him. ‎ ‎21. What do we mean by saying something is “clear as a bell”?‎ ‎ A. It’s easy to find. B. It’s annoying to hear. ‎ C. It’s easy to understand D. It’s dangerous to deal with.‎ ‎22. What do we know about cats and dogs in Middle-aged England?‎ ‎ A. They were afraid to walk in the rain.‎ ‎ B. They usually slept on the roofs of houses.‎ ‎ C. They hated to live together with their owners.‎ ‎ D. They were fond of walking on slippery roofs.‎ ‎23. In the past, a little bell was tied to the hand of a dead person in the UK for the purpose of____.‎ ‎ A. letting people know he was dead ‎ B. preventing him from feeling lonely underground ‎ C. making it possible to save him if he woke up ‎ D. showing others that he died of some rare disease B Linda and her friends Cath and Karen were enjoying a country walk with their seven dogs outside Plymouth when their day took a shocking turn. Cath, who is 60 years old, suddenly fell and hit her head hard on the ground, then became unconscious (无意识的).‎ Given their location, Linda immediately realized she’d have to depend on her own life-saving skills to make sure her friend stayed safe. ‎ ‎“I phoned 999, but because of our position, they took about 30 minutes to reach us. I knew an air ambulance was also on the way from Exeter, but it seemed like a lifetime while I was waiting.”‎ Luckily, Linda had recently renewed her life-saving skills at first aid in the workplace course so she stayed calm and knew exactly what to do. ‎ She said, “First, I placed my friend in the recovery position. Then I lay against her to keep her warm and wrapped both our coats around her. Then I just kept talking to her to keep her awake.”‎ Linda’s treatment kept her friend safe and warm until doctors arrived and took her to hospital. Looking back, she said, “Being a first aider for real was scary, but I kept my cool and everything the Red Cross taught me kicked in. I’m so glad I renewed my course.”‎ Karen added, “If it had not been for Linda’s first-aid skills, the situation could have been so much worse. She stayed so calm the whole time and I felt completely helpless. This incident has made us all aware of how important it is to have some basic first-aid skills.”‎ Interestingly, the three friends belong to a dog charity—South West GSD Rescue. GSDR promotes safety awareness (always have your mobile phone, try and walk with another person) while his members are out walking dogs. ‎ ‎24. When Cath fell and became unconscious, Linda 　　　.‎ A. didn’t know what to do ‎ B. gave first aid to Cath ‎ C. couldn’t reach an ambulance by telephone D. could do nothing but wait for the ambulance ‎ ‎25. Why could Linda remain calm during the incident?‎ A. Because Karen was with her. ‎ B. Because an ambulance was on the way.‎ C. Because her friend was not seriously hurt. ‎ D. Because she had just renewed her first-aid skills. ‎ ‎26. What did Karen learn from the incident?‎ A. Old people shouldn’t walk their dogs far.‎ B. It’s necessary to learn some first-aid skills. ‎ C. One should remain calm during an incident. ‎ D. People should keep healthy while walking dogs. ‎ ‎27. Members of South West GSD Rescue are asked to 　　　.‎ A. meet other dog lovers ‎ B. donate money to dogs C. give first aid to people walking dogs out ‎ D. have safety awareness while walking dogs outside C What’s the magic of coffee shops? Many people often spend hours in these places drinking a cup of refreshing coffee after hard work at the office. After that, they will feel energetic again. It’s been said that JK Rowling wrote the Harry Potter books sitting in one in Edinburgh. But if you’re spending all day buying one expensive coffee after another and haven’t sold your first novel yet, the costs can really add up.‎ For those who just want to take time out, there’s a new choice in London: a pay-per-minute café. You can linger in the Ziferblat coffee shop for as long as you like. You can choose your favorite cup, dessert, and magazine. You’ll be given a clock when you come in to keep time. When you leave,‎ ‎ you return the item and pay the bill.‎ The cost of hanging out, eating, working and meeting new people in the place is 3pennies per minute—or £1.80 an hour. The shop’s owner, Ivan Meetin, says, “Everything is free, except the time you spend here.” Customers help themselves to coffee and cookies. They can also bring their own food to eat while accessing the Internet through wifi in the shop.‎ Meetin’s customers clearly are not the types who rush to work with a paper cup to drink from at their desks. They are there for the new coffee shop’s atmosphere. It is relaxing. Informality is at the heart of Meetin’s concept of the design. ‎ The concept of coffee shops, where you pay for the time and not for the coffee, has proved popular in Russia. Ziferblat is one of a Russian chain. Only time will tell if the British accept the idea. I’d like to try it at least once. Who knows—I might even start writing my own novel. If coffee shops are good enough for JK Rowling to spend quality time in, why can’t I?‎ ‎28. Why do people usually go to coffee shops?‎ A. To write books. B. To spend their money. ‎ C. To finish some office work. D. To drink a cup of coffee and relax.‎ ‎29. What does the underlined phrase “linger” in Paragraph 2 refer to?[]‎ A. stay. B. drink. ‎ C. wait. D. work.‎ ‎30. The Ziferblat coffee shop will charge for_______.‎ ‎ A. the coffee people drink B. the food people bring to the shop ‎ ‎ C. the time people spend in the shop D. the use of the Internet through wi-fi ‎ ‎31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. The Ziferblat coffee shop is very popular with the British. ‎ B. The writer is in favour of the idea of the Ziferblat coffee shop. ‎ C. The Ziferblat coffee shop is the only one of its kind in the world. ‎ D. The writer encourages people to write novels in the Ziferblat coffee shop.‎ D Snowbirds are people who leave their homes when the temperature drops and head to warmer climates. They are mostly retirees and business owners who can afford to take the winter off. While the snow flies in the Northern states, they are enjoying golf, sailing and barbecues in mild temperatures in the South. Then, after winter passes, they return to their homes in the North.‎ Most snowbirds are away from Canada and the Northern states between the middle of October and the end of November. They pack up and head to Florida, Alabama, Texas, California, and all of the other Southern states. Some may even go as far as Australia or Italy to escape the cold winter weather. There are special communities for snowbirds in many areas. Snowbirds are also offered special discounts in some restaurants, hotels and area attractions. Several states even have special snowbird resorts(度假胜地) . There are several online communities and local resources to help snowbirds get set in their seasonal homes.‎ Some snowbirds own homes both in the South and in the North. Both homes have everything they will need for their stay, minimizing the amount of packing necessary when moving from one to the other. Other snowbirds will rent apartments for the duration of their stay outside of their home state.‎ Recreational(娱乐的、休闲的) vehicles, or RVs, are a huge part of the snowbird lifestyle. RVs allow snowbirds to move from place to place on a whim(奇想), bringing everything they need with them. They spend nights in RV parks, large parking lots or anywhere else they choose to stay. RVs have beds, bathrooms, and most other modern conveniences available in a regular home. Although the spaces are small, there is more than enough room for a couple to live in. ‎ ‎32. Which of the following can be regarded as a snowbird?‎ A. One who likes to play in snow in winter.‎ B. One who travels around the world the whole year.‎ C. One who leave for the South to avoid the cold weather.‎ D. One who retires and has a lot of free time to travel.‎ ‎33. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that ______.‎ A. it doesn’t cost much to be a snowbird.‎ B. snowbirds are not welcome in many areas.‎ C. snowbirds have to stay in special communities.‎ D. the Internet makes it easier for snowbirds to find seasonal homes.‎ ‎34. Recreational vehicles allow snowbirds to _____.‎ A. avoid the heavy traffic B. carry everything they have at home C. have a comfortable life wherever they are D. save more money than renting an apartment ‎35. We can conclude from the passage that ____.‎ A. one has to be quite wealthy to be a snowbird B. Canada is a favorite destination for snowbirds C. snowbirds don’t like the weather in the North D. a snowbird has to own homes both in the South and in the North 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Ways to Increase Your Confidence There are some ways you can use to increase your self-confidence.
