There are many idims r sayings in English that we use when we want t describe relatinships between and amng friends． Here are a few t practice with yur friends．
The idim “thrugh thick and thin” is used t describe a friend wh is lyal and supprtive during bad times as well as gd times． It mst ften describes a friendship that has been strng fr a lng time． Here are tw examples: Jhn and Lisa have been friends thrugh thick and thin． My best friend and I stayed tgether thrugh thick and thin．
If tw peple are “like tw peas (豌豆) in a pd”, it means that they get alng very well． They are tw very gd friends and they are very similar t each ther． I have never seen Lla and Camille argue; they are like tw peas in a pd．
Sme friends are especially sympathetic and easy t talk t． They are nt judgmental r impatient． They are gd at sharing ur pain, which helps reduce ur pain． A friend like this is ften called “a shulder t cry n”． We can g t this persn with a prblem r sadness and this persn can bring cmfrt t us．
“Hit it ff” with smene means falling in lve with smene quickly r getting alng with smene． This usually happens the first time tw peple are meeting． They ften share interests, gals and beliefs． This can happen between friends wh like each ther at first sight． Carmen and Isabel hit it ff at the party and are ging t a mvie tgether tday． Mike and I did nt hit it ff n ur first date, but we are ging t try nce mre．
23．Which f the fllwing may be friends thrugh thick and thin?

Hw many times des the chrus (副歌) repeat in yur favrite sng? Repetitin is a feature that music arund the wrld likes t share． S, why des music depend s heavily n repetitin?
One part f the answer cmes frm what psychlgists (心理学家) call the mere expsure (纯粹的暴露) effect． In shrt, peple usually prefer things they’ve been expsed t befre． Fr example, a sng cmes n the radi that we dn’t especially like, but then we hear the sng at the grcery stre, at the mvie theater and again n the street crner． Sn, we are tapping t the beat, singing the wrds, and even dwnlading it．
Repetitin cnnects each bit f music t the next bit f music that fllws it． S when yu hear a few ntes, yu’re already imagining what’s cming next． Yur mind is uncnsciusly (无意识地) singing alng． Recent studies have shwn that when peple hear a part f music repeated, they are mre likely (可能的) t mve r tap alng t it． Repetitin invites us int music as imagined participants (参与者), rather than as passive (被动的) listeners．
Research has als shwn that listeners shifts their attentin acrss musical repetitins, paying attentin t different parts f the sund n each new listen． Yu might ntice the meldy f a phrase the first time, but when it’s repeated, yur attentin mves t hw the guitarist bends a pitch．
Critic (评论家) are ften embarrassed (被尴尬的) by music’s repetitiveness, finding it childish, but repetitin, far frm an embarrassment, is in fact a key feature that gives rise t the kind f experience as cncert．
26．Which f the fllwing belngs t (属于) the mere expsure effect?
A．The mre yu like a sng, the better yu will sing it．
B．The mre yu are clse t a play, the better yu will act it．
C．The mre yu hear a sng, the mre pssible yu will buy it．
D．The mre yu listen t a sng, the mre pssibly yu will like it．
27．Hw des repetitin invite us int music as imagined participants?
A．By singing with the sng．B．By listening t the music passively．
C．By expecting what’s cming next．D．By imagining what the ntes describe．
28．What des the underlined wrd “shift” prbably mean?
A．固定B．转移C．夸大D．冷却
C

【导语】本文介绍了母亲节的起源和活动。
41．句意：一年中有很多特殊的日子，不仅在西方国家，在中国也是如此。根据“nt nly”可知，考查nt nly．．．but (als)．．．“不仅……而且……”，故填but。
42．句意：今天庆祝的母亲节始于一位名叫Anna Jarvis的女人。根据“Mther’s Day that．．．tday began with a wman named Anna Jarvis．”可知，此处为定语从句，that指代先行词“Mther’s Day”，与“celebrate”是被动关系，根据“tday”可知，从句为一般现在时的被动语态，主语为“Mther’s Day”，所以结构为“is+过去分词”；celebrate的过去分词为celebrated。故填is celebrated。
43．句意：她给当地政府写了数千封信，并建议将五月的第二个星期日定为母亲节。根据“f letters”可知，此处考查thusands f“数千的”，故填thusands。
44．句意：她给当地政府写了数千封信，并建议将五月的第二个星期日定为母亲节。根据“the secnd Sunday in May shuld be celebrated．．．Mther’s Day．”可知，此处考查be celebrated as．．．“作为……被庆祝”，as“作为”符合句意，故填as。
45．句意：1914年，美国政府终于同意了。根据“agreed”可知，此处填副词finally修饰动词，故填finally。
46．句意：在母亲节，各个年龄段的孩子都会给母亲不同的礼物。根据“all”可知，此处填名词复数ages。故填ages。
47．句意：不能在假期与母亲在一起的孩子会寄一张卡片，上面写着爱的信息。根据“Children．．．can’t be with their mther n the hliday send a card with a message f lve．”可知，此处为定语从句，从句缺少主语，且指代先行词“Children”，所以用关系代词wh/that。故填wh/that。
48．句意：他们还打电话给母亲，祝她有快乐的一天。根据“They als call their mther n the telephne．．．her a happy day．”可知，此处表示打电话的目的，表目的用动词不定式，故填t wish。
49．句意：母亲节是美国一年中电话使用最繁忙的日子之一。根据“ne f”可知，考查ne f+the+形容词最高级+名词复数“……之一”，busy的最高级为busiest。故填the busiest。
50．句意：在中国，很多人邀请妈妈去看电影或去旅游。根据“g”可知，考查g+动名词“去做某事”，travel的动名词为travelling。故填travelling。
51． thinking twice decided t cut the trip shrt##decided t cut the jurney shrt
【详解】根据中英文对照可知，空处缺“三思”和“做出了缩短行程的决定”的英文表达。think twice“三思”，介词“after”后填动名词thinking；decide t d sth．“做出决定做某事”，该句为一般过去时，填动词过去式decided；cut the trip/jurney shrt“缩短行程”。故填thinking twice；decided t cut the trip/jurney shrt。
52．cheer themselves up when falling behind (every time)##cheer themselves up each time they fell behind
【详解】根据汉语提示可知缺少部分是“让自己振作起来”和时间状语“每当落后时”，主语是“they”，因此“让自己振作起来”译为“cheer themselves up”，作谓语部分；“每当落后时”可用“when+现在分词”表达，“落后”译为“fall behind”，即“when falling behind (every time)”，也可用“each time+从句”表达，根据“did”可知时态为一般过去时，即“each time they fell behind”。故填cheer themselves up when falling behind (every time) /each time they fell behind。
53．it necessary t make up anther tw stries/it was necessary t make up anther tw stries/it necessary t make up tw mre stries/it was necessary t make up tw mre stries
【详解】必要的：necessary；编造：make up；再两个故事：anther tw stries/tw mre stries。根据英汉对比可知，此处可以采用think+宾语从句或者think+宾语+宾语补足语；可以用it代替动词不定式作形式宾语或者用it代替动词不定式作形式主语，即：think it+形容词+动词不定式；think it be+形容词+动词不定式。根据主句用一般过去时，所以从句中的be用过去式，故填it necessary t make up anther tw stries/it was necessary t make up anther tw stries/it necessary t make up tw mre stries/it was necessary t make up tw mre strie。
54． It turned ut that had nthing t d with
【详解】本题需要表达“结果证明他与这次事故无关”这一语义。分析句子可知，本句的主语是“It”，时态为一般过去时，谓语动词用一般过去式，“结果证明”用到的短语是turn ut，turn应变为过去式turned；“Mike与这次事故无关”是一个完整的句子，所以可用that引导的句子来作宾语；“与……无关”用到的短语是have nthing t d with，have应变为过去式had。故填It turned ut that；had nthing t d with。
55．wuld rather be laughed at than give up his dream
【详解】根据中英文提示可知，此处缺少成分“宁愿被嘲笑也不愿放弃自己的梦想”，wuld rather d sth． than d sth．“宁愿做某事也不愿做某事”，后接动词原形；laugh at“嘲笑”，被动语态为be laughed at；give up his dream“放弃自己的梦想”。故填wuld rather be laughed at than give up his dream。
56． difficult it is t put ut the fire ut f cntrl
【详解】根据中文提示可知，第一空是一个以Hw引导的感叹句，Hw引导的感叹句结构是：Hw+形容词/副词+主语+谓语+其他，Hw difficult it is t put ut the fire in time“及时扑灭大火是多么费劲啊”；第二空应填意为“失控”的英文表达，ut f cntrl“失控”。故填difficult it is t put ut the fire；ut f cntrl。
