Then he turned to the dog and said, “Watch my coat, Bruce!”Bruce understood what my father asked him to do and sat down on the coat. Later, my father remembered he had to buy some food. So he hurried to the shop. After shopping, he went home immediately and forgot completely about his coat and the dog.In the evening, I looked for my dog everywhere in the house, but I couldn’t find him.

We will research into some commonly used words and expressions. Compared to other languages, American English is rich in expressions that come from animals. Wolves are important animals in the traditions and stories of America. Today we will talk about the wolf.To begin with, there is an expression lone wolf. If we call somebody a lone wolf, he isn’t a bad person, but he may like to do things by himself. In fact, he sometimes make you think he doesn’t want to be around people because he dislikes them.Now, let’s move on to the home. When having a meal, parents always tell their children not to wolf do wn their food. The expression “wolf down food” shows the child eats too quickly and without care. It can be bad for health.A wolf call is the noise made by a man to show that he likes the way a woman looks. But a wolf call is not a nice thing. These men s ound rude. And in fact, most women don’t like wolf calls at all.By the way, there is a popular expression about wolf from a very old story: a wolf in sheep’s clothing. A wolf in sheep’ s clothing describes someone who acts and looks nice on the outside but is bad on the inside. It tells us that appearances can lie to people.26．How many expressions can we read about wolf in the passage?A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five.27．If a person is called a lone wolf, what is he probably going to do?A．Help classmates to finish homework.B．Make many friends with people around.C．Break the window if nobody is watching.D．Co to see a movie by himself after school.28．Which of the following in NOT true?A．wolf call is really popular to women.B．Appearances don’t always tel l the truth to us.C．Children had better not wolf down food at meal time.D．American English has a lot of expressions with animals.29．Where is it possible for us to find the passage above?A．A science report. B．A story about American history.C．A book for travel guide. D．A program for English learning.四、回答问题Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi’ an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code. “We spent about an hour in class learning how to generate (使产生) the codes, and in the end eve rything gets easier.” Said Guo, “When students finish the homework, they keep it on WeChat. Then, each student makes his QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their work anywhere using my computer or telephone.”The students can send the QR codes to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Goo scans (扫描) his students’ QR codes, their homework appears on his home.ie finds that their homework becomes more creative (有创新性的) , with many pictures, music and even videos.Guo’s students like the new way and think it is interesting. “We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun. “Said Tingting, a student of Cuo’s. “The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share.” Guo said, “It is good to try to use something new in education (教育). Education itself is a kind of creation. I don’t want my students to fall behind the times.”However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating (交流) with teachers. But in fact, it’s unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the codes when they hand in their work, which doesn’t take them too much time. Also for teachers, it allows them to check to students’ work at any time. And it’s also an easy way to share homework with other students.30．How long did Mr. Guo’s students spend learning how to generate the codes?_________________________________________________________31．How can the students send the QR codes to Mr. Guo?_________________________________________________________32．Do the students like the new way of handing in homework?_________________________________________________________33．Why are some parents worried about the way?_________________________________________________________34．Do you think it is a good way to hand in the homework?

It means “the end”. So giving someone a clock means “your time is up”. It is unlucky, especially for old people.If clocks aren’t OK, maybe buying some fruit is a good idea. But remember not to buy pears. A pear sounds as li in Chinese. That means separation (分离). The umbrella also sounds the same as the word for separation in Chinese. Therefore, both pears and umbrellas are not good gifts.It’s hard to choose gifts. So what is a right gift? A “red envelope” with money in it is the most popular gift in China. People give their friends red envelopes as a way to express their greetings. During the Spring Festival, the elder people will give children red envelopes to express their love.Chinese people like to put amounts of money equal to certain “lucky numbers” inside red envelopes. For example, “520” means “I love you”, “1,314” means “forever love”, “666” means “hoping that everything goes well for you” and “888” means “wishing you wealth”. 33．___________ may have the meaning of “separation” as gifts.A．Pears and apples B．Pears and umbrellasC．Umbrellas and clocks D．Clocks and apples34．You’d better not give someone a clock as a gift be cause it means that _____________.

Looking back on 2016, what phrases made you and your friends laugh and excited? Here are some examples. Let’s take a look at them, and the stories and feelings behind them.Slouch down like Ge You 葛优躺In July, a photo of Chinese actor Ge You became popular. In the photo, he sat on a sofa, looking tired and lazy. It soon touched people who were under great study and work pressure (压力). Putting their own “Ge You slouch” photo online, they were able t o release some of that pressure by laughing about it.Blue skinny mushroom 蓝瘦香菇The phrase should go with a photo of a blue mushroom, but it has nothing to do with the plant. It was from a video made by a young man from Guangxi. He broke up with his girlfriend and cried out “nanshou, xianggku” in the video. His accent (口音) made it sound like “nanshou, xianggu”. People soon used this phrase as a funny way to express their sad feelings.Small target 小目标This phrase came from Wang Jianlin, China’s richest busi nessman. In an interview, he was talking about young people dreaming to be rich. “At first you should make a small target. For example, start with earning only 100 million yuan,” Wang advised. But for most people, 100 million yuan isn’t a “small” target. So people began to joke with their own “small target”, which was in fact a difficult one.Prehistoric power 洪荒之力Chinese swimmer Fu Yuanhui used this phrase at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. “I used up my prehistoric power.” she told a CCTV reporter after her race. Fu used it to say she tried her best. The phrase soon became popular with her facial expressions.37．These phrases became popular in 2016 because______________.A．they made people laugh and excited B．they were educationalC．they were about famous people D．they helped people improve their life 38．“Blue skinny mushroom” has something to do with ___________.A．the plant B．happy feelings C．a small target D．sad feelings 39．Which of the following sentences is NOT TRUE?___________A．People use “Blue skinny mushroom” to express their sad feelings.B．“Small target” came from Ma Yun, China’s richest businessman.C．Fu Yuanhui used “Prehistoric power” to say she tried her best in the race.D．“Ge You slouch” became popular in July,2016.40．We may find the passage ___________.A．in a newspaper B．in a story book C．in a travel magazine D．in a history book四、回答问题Last year, I went to visit my grandfather in a small town near London. On a cold morning, my friend Peter invited me to a famous coffee shop. When we enjoyed our coffee, a tall man with a pair of glasses came in and sat down near us. He called the waiter and ordered, “Two cups of coffee, one of them there on the wall.” We saw that he drank one cup of coffee but he paid for two. After he left, the waiter quick ly put a piece of paper on the wall saying “A cup of coffee”. While we were still there, two other women had two cups of coffee but paid for three. Again, the waiter did the same thing. It seemed that this was common at this place. However, it was something strange for us.About 30 minutes later, an old man came it. The way this man dressed didn’t match the style of this coffee shop. He looked thin and poor. When he sat down, he looked at the wall and said, “One cup of coffee from that wall.” The waiter se rved coffee to this man, showing him the same respect (尊重) as the other customers. The man had his coffee and left without paying. The waiter took off a piece of paper from the wall and threw it in the dustbin.After that, I knew anybody could take a cup of coffee from that wall if he wanted. He didn’t have to lose face to ask for a free cup of coffee. Without asking or knowing who was giving him this cup of coffee, he only looked at the wall, ordered, enjoyed coffee and left. It was a really beautiful thing—probably the most beautiful wall anywhere in the world.41．Did the old man pay for his coffee?______________________________________________________42．When did Peter and I enjoy the coffee in the coffee shop?______________________________________________________43．What did the waiter do after the old man left?______________________________________________________44．Why did the people put coffee on the wall in this coffee shop?______________________________________________________五、补全对话7选5A: Hi, Lily.
