解析
试题分析：本文叙述了Richie因听不懂谚语而感到困惑的故事。当雨下得很大，他爷爷说：“It’s raining cats and dogs!”他以为天上会掉下猫和狗，但是他向窗外看，只有雨水，没有猫和狗。他的叔叔说：“ it’s really coming down out there!”他不明白什么要来呀。但是当他的姑妈说，雨下得真大时，他听明白了。于是问猫和狗在哪里。爷爷告诉他，自己说的意思就是雨下的大。他的堂兄告诉他那是谚语。这下Richie明白了。
小题1:考查名词及语境的理解。 A. tigers and lions 老虎和狮子； B. pigs and sheep 猪和绵羊； C. cats and dogs 猫和狗； D. chickens and ducks鸡和鸭。根据but is was ____that there were no cats or dogs.可知他想看看猫和狗从空落下来。故选C。句意：他想看看猫和狗从空落下来。
小题2:考查形容词及语境的理解。A. important 重要的； B. possible 可能的； C. necessary 必要的； D. strange奇怪的。 根据He only saw small pools of water on the ground.可知他只看到地面上有小水池，没有猫和狗，但是他的爷爷说下着猫和狗，所以他觉得奇怪。故选D。句意：但是很奇怪没有猫和狗。
小题3:考查连词及语境的理解。A. unless 除非；B. after 在......之后； C. till 直到； D. though尽管。结合上下文，鲍勃叔叔应是先向窗外看，在评价雨的情况。故用连词after，故选B。句意：鲍勃叔叔向窗外看了看，同意着说：“是的，天真的快要塌下来了。”
小题4:考查情态动词及语境的理解。A. couldn’t 不可能； B. shouldn’t 不应该； C. needn’t 不必； D. mustn’t禁止。根据but is was ____that there were no cats or dogs. 可知没有猫和狗，故表示不可能。故选A。句意：一开始他们讨论不可能被看见的猫和狗。
小题5:考查名词及语境的理解。A. days 天； B. animals 动物；C. ideas 主意； D. people人们。此处指的是他的爷爷，鲍勃叔叔及某一个人，因此这些人。故选D。句意：这些人将要做什么。
小题6:考查动词短语及语境的理解。A. shouted at 大喊； B. looked at 看； C. laughed at 嘲笑； D. pointed at指向。结合上下文，可知他的姑妈说雨下得很大，所以此处他应是看着他的姑妈说话，故选B。句意：他看着他的姑妈。
小题7:考查代词及语境的理解。A. what 什么； B. how 如何；C. where 哪里； D. who谁。根据First they talked about cats and dogs that ____ be seen. Richie 认为人们讨论的猫和狗他看不见，故问这些猫和狗在哪里，故选C。句意：但是哪里有猫和狗？
小题8:考查动词及语境的理解。A. explains 解释； B. proves 证明； C. means 意味着； D. shows展示。根据上下文的意思可知It’s raining cats and dogs!="It’s" raining really hard。故选C。句意：他的爷爷大笑着说，“Richie，那只是意味着雨下的真的很大。”
小题9:考查动词及语境的理解。A. ordered 命令；B. thought 认为； C. repeated 重复； D. asked问。根据So why didn’t you just say that?可知这是一个问题，故用动词ask。故选D。句意：Richie问道：“那为什么你刚才不那样说？”
小题10:考查名词及语境的理解。A. saying 谚语； B. questions 问题； C. objects 物体； D. stories故事。根据常识可知It’s raining cats and dogs!是谚语。故选A。句意：Richie的堂兄说，“你只是不懂这些言语。”

举一反三
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn’t try to get away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that rage, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free.”
How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes. But because they always stuck right where they were, they believed they couldn’t.
Just like the elephants, how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something, just because we failed at it once before?
___________________. We should never give up the struggle(挣扎) in life.

Check to see if there are any water parks around you. Many are indoor facilities. So even if it isn’t warm enough where you live to swim outdoors, you can enjoy swimming in a temperature controlled area.
The prices are usually good. For example, one ticket to Water World, a water park, is only $5.
Some teens like to get a part time job over the summer to make some pocket money. Older teens shouldn’t have much trouble finding jobs.
An idea is to get some teens together to form your own summer job business. You can walk dogs, bring in the newspapers, feed the cats, collect rubbish, water flowers, etc.
Being that it’s summer, many people go on vacation and could use someone to look after their houses while they’re away. You can also think about other jobs you can do for them.
Teens love freedom. Sure you would like to get to such places as the small, movie theaters, the zoo, the beach, picnic, bowling and local amusement park instead of staying home all summer. Then a summer bus pass will be helpful. Check to see if your area has one for you teens.
Such a pass costs only $10 for the whole summer. The price is reasonable(合乎情理的) and also your parents don’t have to always drive.

 Sally: an animal doctor What’s the worst thing that’s ever happened in your job? Probably the dog that bit me. It wasn’t a big one - I don’t mind the big ones. The small ones are the worst. It gave me a very nasty bite. Have you ever done any other jobs? Yes, I did different kinds of jobs when I was a student. One summer I did fruit-picking in Spain. What’s the worst job you’ve ever done? In order to improve my English, I worked for a rich family in New York. I never had a day off and I had to do everything – cooking, cleaning, shopping- and look after their horrible children. I left after two weeks and managed to get a job as a waitress in an Italian restaurant.  Leo: an actor What’s the worst thing that’s ever happened in your job? So many bad things have happened-but I think my worst moment was when I read my first bad review in the newspaper. They wrote terrible things about me, and I was so upset. After that I didn’t read my reviews any more. Have you ever done any other jobs? Oh yes, it’s hard to make a living as an actor. So I’ve done lots of part-time jobs over the years. For example, I’ve worked in a shop, sold ice cream at the beach and handed out publicity flyers in the street. What’s the worst job you’ve ever done? The worst job I’ve ever done was at an egg-packing factory. Working conditions are terrible-you stand for hours at the end of a belt, putting eggs into boxes. You can’t have a break, and if you want to go to the toilet, you have to ask for permission. And worst of all, the smell was terrible- I’ve never eaten an egg since then. |
