题型:不详难度:来源:
There are several other expressions that mean the same thing. And their meaning is as easy to understand as falling off a log. One is “Easy as Pie.” Nothing is easier than eating a piece of sweet juicy pie, unless it is a piece of cake. “A Piece of Cake” is another expression that means something is extremely easy to do.
Another expression is “As Easy as Shooting Fish in a Barrel (桶)”. Clearly, fish in a barrel will be much easier to shoot than fish in a river. In fact, it would be as easy as falling off a log.
Sometimes, things that come to us easily also leave us just as easily. In fact, there is an expression “Easy Come Easy Go”. Another easy expression is “To Go Easy on a Person”. It means to treat a person kindly or gently, especially in a situation where you might be expected to be angry with him. A wife might ask her husband to go easy on their son, because the boy did not mean to destroy the toy. If you want to borrow some money to fix the car, you should look for a friend who is an “Easy Touch”. An easy touch or a soft touch is someone who is kind and helpful.
And there is one more expression that means do not worry or work too hard. Try to keep away from difficult situations. “Take it easy”, until we meet again.
小题1:Which of the following expressions has the same meaning with “As easy as falling off a log?”
A.Shooting fish in a barrel | B.Walking on a falling tree log. |
C.Staying on a log | D.Shooting fish in a river |
A.easy come easy go | B.as easy as shooting fish in a barrel |
C.to take it easy | D.to go easy on a person |
A.That he goes easy on me means that he is angry with me. |
B.He is always helping others, so he is an easy touch. |
C.When he asks me to repair his broken bike, I say, “A piece of cake. I can help repair it.” |
D.When a girl loses her way, I say, “Take it easy, I will send you home.” |

解析
试题分析:这是一篇美国之音慢速英语词汇典故节目。第个人都有自己特定的表达方式,其中一些词汇易于理解,所以注意其运用的场合。
小题1:A 细节理解题。根据第三段提到Another expression is “As Easy as Shooting Fish in a Barrel (桶)”. Clearly, fish in a barrel will be much easier to shoot than fish in a river. In fact, it would be as easy as falling off a log 在桶里叉鱼比在河里容易多了,实际上,这就是像“圆木上掉落下来”一样容易,所以选A项。
小题2:B细节理解题。根据第二段提到“As Easy as Falling off a Log (圆木)” is one such expression. It describes a job that does not take much effort. 像从圆木上滚落下来一样容易,就是这样一种词句,它用于形容一项轻而易举的工作,再根据第三提到Another expression is “As Easy as Shooting Fish in a Barrel (桶)”. Clearly, fish in a barrel will be much easier to shoot than fish in a river. In fact, it would be as easy as falling off a log 在桶里叉鱼比在河里容易多了,实际上,这就是像“圆木上掉落下来”一样容易,所以选B项。
小题3:A 细节题。根据第四段提到Another easy expression is “To Go Easy on a Person”. It means to treat a person kindly or gently, especially in a situation where you might be expected to be angry with him.别一个与easys相关的词语是“To Go Easy on a Person”,它的意思是以一个人宽容温和,尤其是在你要对他发怒的情况下,所以A项错误。

"She was wearing a fashionable coat. His shirt was really a fashionable colour. "
But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs . . . and in languages.
Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different from one of 1650. A fashionable man in 1780 looked very different from his grandson in 1860.
Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspapers, radios, telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours.
New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion.

Human beings use tools, cooperate(合作) with one another, and communicate with language. But these aspects(方面)of human behavior, or “culture”, can also be found in the lives of certain animals. Animals can make tools , for example. We used to think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line between human beings and other animals. Lately, however, we have found that this is not the case. Chimpanzees(黑猩猩) can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves. So it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think.
小题1:According to the article, “culture” means_____.
A. the languages we learn
B. the good habits we share with each other
C. the forms of behavior we have in common
小题2:The traditional idea about dividing animal from human beings is that ______.
A. human beings can use tools
B. Human beings can depend on each other
C. human beings have the language to communicate
小题3:From the chimpanzees can use and make tools, we know____.
A. animal may have a culture like our own
B. animals can be as clever as human beings
C. animals have the ability to help human beings
In China, although teenagers can get their ID cards at 16, many only see themselves as an adult when they are 18. In the US, where everyone drives, the main step to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive. At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license(证), they drive into the grown-up world.
"Nobody wants to ride the cheese bus to school," said Eleanor Fulham, 17. "It"s like you"re not cool if you don"t have a car," she said.
According to a recent research, 41% of 16 to 19 year olds in the US own cars, up from 23% in 1985. Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get part-time jobs to help pay.
Not all families can afford cars for their children. In cities with undergrounds and limited(有限的) parking, some teenagers don"t want them. But in rich areas outside the city, if there are no undergrounds, and bicycles are more for fun than cars, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car.
But police say 16-year-olds have almost three times more accidents than 18 and 19-year-olds. This has made many parents stop before letting their kids drive. They need to wait until they are more experienced.
Julie Susiana, of Virginia, decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17 to apply for his learner"s permit (许可)
Chad said he has accepted his parents" decision, although it has caused some laughing from his friends. "They say that I am unlucky," he said. "But I"d rather be alive than driving, and I don"t really trust my friends on the road either."
In China as more families get cars, more 18-year-olds learn to drive. Will this become a big step to becoming an adult?
小题1:16-year-old drivers have more accidents possibly because _______.
A.they want to show themselves off |
B.they are not experienced drivers |
C.older people always drive better |
D.they never drive carefully on the road |
A.How rich the family is. |
B.Whether the kid is old enough. |
C.What traffic condition there is around. |
D.Whether it"s practically needed. |
A.an American culture about teenagers" driving |
B.a change in the Chinese culture |
C.a cultural difference between America and China |
D.the relationship between driving and a person"s development |
A.Cars Helping You to Grow Up | B.Driving into the Grown-up World |
C.Teenagers" Driving in America | D.Recognized Point of Becoming an Adult |
