24、An idiom is a phrase that we can’t understand from the meaning of each word. For example, if an American boy asks his mum what’s for dinner, she may say, “I’ll play it by ear.” That means she doesn’t have plans for dinner and she will decide later.

“Play it by ear” used to mean playing music without using the sheet music(活页乐谱), but now it’s different. There are many idioms in English. If you learn to use them, your English will be much more colorful.

Have you ever heard the idiom “He bought the farm”? It means “He died”. Do you know how it became popular? It was first used in World War I. When a soldier died, the government gave his family enough money to buy a farm.

In the early 1930s, people in the US often did not know when or where their next meal was. So as soon as they got something in their hands that could be eaten, it would go into their mouths. That was how people began to use the idiom “live hand to mouth”.

And don’t be angry if your English friend says this to you, “Break a leg in your game!” He is wishing you good luck! Hundreds of years ago, people believed in sprites(小精灵). Sprites enjoyed causing trouble. If sprites heard you ask for something, they would make the opposite happen. Tell someone to “break a leg” and sprites would make something good happen.

【1】“I’ll play it by ear” can be used to answer the question “________”.

A．What do you think of the concert?

B．What else do you know about it?

C．What will you do if it rains tomorrow?

D．What’s your favorite piece of music?

【2】When one lives hand to mouth, he or she is ________.

A．in need

B．in trouble

C．in danger

D．in peace

【3】When we hear “Break a leg”, we should say “________”.

A．How can you say that

B．Thank you

C．I’m sorry to hear that

D．Please watch your mouth

26、任务型阅读

阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填写表格（每空限填一词）。

Nowadays, there are more and more misunderstanding(误解)between parents and children. And this is called generation-gap.(代沟).

Why are there so many misunderstandings between parents and children? In my opinion, the reasons can be listed as follows. First, the two generations , grown up at different times, have different likes and dislikes, and that’s why the disagreements often rises between them. Second , having little in common to talk about, they are not willing to sit face to face. Third, with the space(步伐)of modern life becoming faster and faster, they both are so busy with their work or study that they can’t spare time to exchange their ideas.

But how to change the situation? For one thing ,children should respect(尊重)their parents , for another , parents should also love and take care of their children. All these ways will certainly bridge the generation gap.

27、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
