8.There are many American expressions about insects.
Bees are known as very hard workers.So you might say you were as busy as a bee if you spent your weekend cleaning your house.In fact,you might say your house was a beehive of activity if your whole family was helping you clean.You also might say you made a beeline for something if you went there right away.When we go to see a movie,my friend always makes a beeline for the place where they sell popcorn.If something was the best of its kind,you might say it was the bee's knees.Now,we admit that we do not know how this expression developed.In fact,we do not even know if bees have knees!If your friend cannot stop talking about something because she thinks it is important,you might say she has a bee in her bonnet.If someone asks you a personal question,and you would like not to tell him or her,you might say,"That is none of your beeswax."
Butterflies are beautiful insects,but you would not want to have butterflies in your stomach.That means to be nervous about having to do something,like speaking in front of a crowd.You would also not want to have ants in your pants.That is,to be restless and unable to sit still.
If a friend keeps asking you to do something you do not want to do,you might ask him to leave you alone or"stop bugging me".A friend also might tell you again and again to do something.If so,you might say he put a bug in your ear.If you were reading a book in your warm bed on a cold winter's day,you might say you were snug as a bug in a rug(地毯).And,if you wish someone good night,you might say,"sleep tight-don't let the bed bugs bite."

分析 本文主要講述關(guān)于昆蟲的美國(guó)英語(yǔ)的表達(dá)方式.
解答 12-15 BACA
12 B 細(xì)節(jié)題. 根據(jù)文章第二 段If something was the best of its kind,you might say it was the bee's knees. 可知 it was the bee's knees被用來修飾同類中最好的,故選B.
13 A 猜測(cè)詞義題. 根據(jù)前文的If someone asks you a personal question,and you would like not to tell him or her,可知is none of your beeswax與你無關(guān),故選A.
14 C 細(xì)節(jié)題. 根據(jù)文章 have butterflies in your stomach意為緊張,have ants in your pants意為如坐針氈,都是壞的影響,故選C.
15 A 細(xì)節(jié)題. 根據(jù)文章中所出現(xiàn)的諺語(yǔ)可知bug既可用作動(dòng)詞,也可用作名詞,故選A.
點(diǎn)評(píng) 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
