Hello and welcometo English with Lucy.Today we have another topic:"Four Common British Expressions."Now, before we get started make sure you connect with me on all my social media which is right here. You can subscribe to my
YouTube. You can also like me on Facebook. And for my Chinese followers, I have my Weibo account as well.
Four Common British Expressions:
“A piece of cake.”
And this is very similar to "Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy, "which we’ve discussed in a former video. And basically, it means very easy. So I might come out of an easy exam saying, "That exam was a piece of cake."
“Break a leg!”
It actually looks really rather cruel, but I promise you it’s positive. And “Break a leg!” means “Good luck!” So before a race, before a job interview, before a test, instead of saying “Good luck!” I might say “Break a leg!”
“It cost an arm and a leg.”
And this basically means something was really expensive. If I say, "My bag cost an arm and a leg," I mean it cost a lot
of money.
“To call it a day.”
And this means “to end a task”. So, for example, “I’m feeling a bit tired. I think I’ll call it a day."That means"I think
have learned something.
1.How can Chinese listeners connect with Lucy?
A. With WeChat.
B. Through Weibo.
C. On Facebook.
D. By YouTube.
2.When John went to an English Speech Competition, what should you say to him?
A. Break a leg!
B. It cost an arm and a leg.
C. To call it a day.
D. A piece of cake.
3.What does he/she mean when the teacher says "Let’s call it a day."?
A. He/She will stop that day.
B. He/She feels tired.
C. Class is over.
D. It is daytime.

Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own
patters of speech independent of each other. Some langue experts believe that 10,000 years ago when the world had just
five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards, many of those people stared setting down to become farmers, and their languages too became settled
more and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general
rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often
spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
Already well over 400 of the total of 6, 800 languages are close to extinction (消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150), Lipan Apache in the
United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance
of survival.
4.What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?
A. They developed very fast
B. They were large in number.
C. They had similar patterns.
D. They were closely connected.
5.Which of the following best explains "dominant” in paragraph 2?
A. Complex. B. Advanced. C. Powerful. D. Modern.
6.How many languages are spoken by less than 6000 peopleat present?
A. About 6,800.
B. About 3,400.
C. About 2,400.
D. About 1,200.
7.What is the main idea of the text?
A. New languages will be created.
B. People’s lifestyles are reflected in languages
C. Human development results in fewer languages.
D. Geography determines language evolution.
C
One of the most important ways to learn and master the English language is to read, read, and read. It is said that a good
reader is also a good writer and a good speaker. However, in today’s world, reading is something that most children dis
like doing.
There are simply so many distractions that books, magazines, and newspapers are often ignored and they are in favor of video games and movies. And while video games and movies also play a role in helping the child learn the English
language, they still can’t quite compare to reading.
And as a result, kids are learning less and less. Take a look at an elementary level textbook. You’ll notice that the books
for elementary students are filled with pictures and colors. Those pictures and colors in the elementary level textbooks
aren’t there just for the sake of design. Colors and pictures make us more engaged in the act of learning grammar. They
catch our attention and help us retain(保留) more of what we read. This is especially true for little children who enjoy fun
English.
Children are quite easily distracted. When you ask them to sit down and read quietly, their minds will often wander and
it won’t take long before you find them doodling(涂鸦) and not doing what you told them to do. But if a book is colorful
enough to catch a kid’s attention, then you’ll have a better chance at getting the kid to sit down long enough to learn
English.
The same principle holds true for interactivity(互动), Like colors and pictures, interactive reading materials like English
songs for kids also get the child engaged in what he or she is learning. Interactive reading materials get the child to focus
since using them is almost like playing.
8.Which may be the reason why children don’t like reading?
A. They prefer newspapers.
B. They prefer films.
C. They prefer magazines.
D. They prefer books.
9.Children will be interested in books that are___________.
A. full of pictures
B. explained clearly
C. written clearly
D. easy
10.What can colorful books help the children do?
A. Do what they prefer.
B. Have a good time.
C. Fix their attention for a longer time.
D. Sit still and quietly.
11.What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. Reading is one of the most important ways in learning language.
B. All the books are full of pictures and colors.
C. Interactivity and colorful designs are important to learn English.
D. Interactive reading is very interesting for children.
D
Every year, hundreds of hopeful students arrive in Washington, D.C., in order to compete in the National Spelling Bee, which has been held every year since 1925.
In the competition, students under 16 take turns trying to properly spell words. The champion is the only remaining student who does not make a mistake. American students are familiar with the competition because it is practiced in many schools throughout the country. The National Spelling Bee, however, is a much bigger setting and showcases only the best spellers from all parts of the nation. Winning the competition nowadays requires the ability to perform under much pressure against so many talented students in front of a large audience.
A student who wins the event in the twenty-first century will experience a much different challenge than the first winner, Frank Neuhauser, did in 1925 when he defeated only nine other competitors. Clearly, the 90 years of the National
Spelling Bee’s existence proves the importance of spelling in the English language. However, struggles with spelling English words go back much more than 90 years. The charming thing about spelling correctly in English is that it is in many
ways without rules.English language can absorb new words from other languages and in doing so make them "English" words.
Because of this, the number of words in English is much higher than any other languages. Thus, spelling in many otherlanguages has fewer words and fewer strange exceptions to rules. It turns out that a spelling bee in most other language
would be a waste of time. Why is that? Well, without so many exceptions to common vocabulary, there would be very few
words that everyone didn’t already know.
12. How is today’s competition different from the first National Spelling Bee?
A. It produces more winners.
B. It draws more talented audience.
C. It attracts more competitors.
D. It tests more strange words.
13.Why does the author mention "other languages" in Paragraph 3?
A. To introduce the new rules of the competition.
B. To gather students from other countries.
C. To explain the difficulty in English spelling.
D. To show the strict rules of written English.
14.What’s the author’s attitude toward holding spellingcompetitions in most other languages?
A. Favorable.
B. Supportive.
C. Responsible.
D. Doubtful.
15.What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Ways to win a Spelling Bee.
B. The most difficult language.
C. The best spellers.
D. A competition about spelling.

七选五
[语篇解读]本文是一篇应用文。文章就如何提高英语写作水平给出了几点建议。
16.G根据本段小标题“Increase your vocabulary.(增加你的词汇量)”及空前“That's not just being able to know lots of words-it means actually being able to use them correctly. 不仅仅是能够知道很多单词,实际上这意味着能够正确地使用它们)”可知,G项“Do this by learning new words with example sentences,not just word lists.(通过例句学习新单词,而不仅仅是单词表)”符合文意。选项G中的new words与小标题中的vocabulary以及与上句中的lots of words呼应,并且选项G中的do this可与空前的use them correctly形成指代关系。
17. B根据其他几个小标题的句式可知,此处应填简短的祈使句。由此处小标题下的“Reading in English is useful in
many ways. (读英语在很多方面是有用的)”可知,这个小标题强调读英语的重要性。由此可知,B项“Read widely and often..(广泛地读与常读)”可与小标题下的内容呼应。
18.E根据下文“Learning shouldn’t be boring.(学习不应该是枯燥的)”可知,这里应是描写读的内容。只有选项B中
的interest you(让你感兴趣的)可与下一句中的shouldn’t be boring相呼应;由此可知,E项“Choose books or articles
that interest you.(选择让你感兴趣的书或文章)”符合文意
19.C根据空后“The first time,look for general mistakes and the second time look for mistakes with the grammar point you are studying at the moment.”可知,此处指写完后要检查两遍。由此可知,C项“Always check your writing twice..(总是检查你的写作两次)”符合文意。选项C中的twice可与空后的“The first time.. the second time.”呼应。
20.D根据空前“Be prepared to write several versions of each text.(准备好每篇文章写几个版本)”及本段的小标题“just do it!(就这么干吧!)”可知,D项“Remember,practice makes perfect!(记住,熟能生巧!)”符合语境。[语篇解读]主题:人与自我(生活)。话题:抓住机会,勇于尝试。本文是一篇记叙文。作者以前害怕犯错,但是在他参加了一次试镜之后,他明白了自己要抓住机会,要敢于冒险。于是,他尝试了很多东西,学会了去推动自己。
完形填空
21.A根据下文中的countless times,.“What should I do”可知,“我”经常问自己“我该怎么办?”可见作者是害怕(afraid)犯错误。
22,D作者记不清楚自已是什么时候决定((decide)只以“正确的”方式做事。
23.C根据后文中的"Now,I do take these chances,with baby steps…”可知,作者在高中的时候决定抓住机会,不再害怕犯错,有所改变(change)。
24. B根据前文中my heart was pounding可知,作者心跳加。快,他应该是很紧张的,所以手是抖动(shake)的。
25. A空格处和and前的1oud(响亮的)并列,声音应该是有力量的(powerful)。
26. C根据前文“"I was trying to do my best even though I might fail.”可知,作者觉得自己有可能会失败。根据后文“I did it”可知作者没有失败,前后为转折关系。
27. A根据后文“"Now,I do take these chances."可知,作者现在确实抓住了这些机会,说明他之前认为自己必须抓住机会(chance),必须去冒险。
28. D根据voicing my opinions in debates和riding my horse over a three--foot jump可知,作者在日常生活中尽最大努力做好,那么在合唱中也会尝试达到(reach)高音。
29. B根据前文I broke my back when I fell from my horse可知,“我”从马上摔下来伤了背部,所以这里是指“我”的受伤(injury)导致“我”不能打篮球。
30. B根据后文“The coach didn’t take me,so I started running with my mom.”可知,教练没有要“我”,但是“我”还是跑了,这说明一开始“我”是想进田径队的,参与了选拔。可try out for参加选拔。是
31. C根据语境可知“我”没有进人田径队。make此处意为“成功获得/达到”。
32. C根据后文like taking a tough science course可知,作者让自己上很难的科学课,这是对自己的一种逼迫、推动
(push)。
33. A根据后文中的“What should I do?"可知,这里应该是给出的答案(answer)。
34. D根据even though可知前后文为转折关系,前文指出“我”的父母、朋友和老师并不总是能够回答“我该怎么办?”的问题,这里表达的是在“我”尝试的时候他们会支持(support)“我”。
35. B“我”妈妈在讲话中说到(state):“生活就是学会应对B计划(备选方案)。”引号中是妈妈演讲中陈述的内容。
语法填空
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何学习外语。
36.a考查冠词。句意:学习外语是一项很有挑战的任务,但同时也是一次非常愉快的经历。此处泛指“一次非常愉快的经历”,应用不定冠词,very是以铺音音素开头的单词,应用a。
37.at考查介词。句意:首先,按照自己的节奏工作。at one'sown pace以自己的速度。
38.more effective考查形容词比较级。句意:你会发现学习半小时比一次试图学习整个单元更有效。由句意可知,此处出现一个比较关系,用比较级。
39.to communicate考查非谓语动词。句意:第二,使用语言去交流。分析句子结构可知,此处要填非谓语动词。作目的状语,应用动词不定式。
40.making考查非谓语动词。句意:不要害怕犯错。由于空格前有介词of,所以此处要填动名词,在句中作be afraid of的宾语。
41.confidence考查名词。句意:重要的是要在谈话中树立自己的自信。根据空格前及物动词短语build up及形容词性物主代词可知,此处要填名词。
42.which考查定语从句。句意:你应该通过话题或句子来学习词汇,这是非常有效的。此处考查非限制性定语从句,从句缺少主语,先行词为前文所描述的动作行为,所以要用关系代词which引导。
43.frequently考查副词。句意:尽可能多地听课程录音是个不错的选择。由空格前后的as...as possible可知空格处要填形容词或者副词的原级:分析句子结构及句意可知,此处所填词用来修饰前面的动词listen to,所以要用副词。
44.choice考查名词。根据空格前冠词a及形容词good可知,此处要填可数名词单数形式。
45.learning考查非谓语动词。句意:最重要的是,享受学习语言的乐趣。根据空格前的动词短语have fun可知,此处考查动词短语have fun doing sth.(享受做某事)。
