28、，满分 30 分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（ A、 B、 C、 D）中，选出最佳选项。 A Every language has its own special words and expressions. And a story can be told about each of them. “Hot” is a simple, easily-understood word. So are most of the expressions made with the word “hot”. But not always, as we shall see. Take the phra
29、se “hot potato” for example. The potato is a popular vegetable in the United States. Many people like baked potatoes, cooked in an oven or fire. Imagine trying to carry a hot, baked potato in your hand. It would be difficult, even painful, to do so. One such hot potato is taxes. Calling for higher t
30、axes can mean defeat for a politician. And yet, if taxes are not raised, some very popular government programs could be cut, which can also make a politician very unpopular. Another expression is “not so hot”. If you ask someone how she feels, she may answer: “Not so hot.“ What she means is that she
31、 does not feel well. “Not so hot” is also a way of saying that you do not really like something. “A hot shot” is a person, often a young person, who thinks he can do anything. At least he wants to try. He is very sure he can succeed. But often he fails. The expression came from the army. A hot shot
32、was a soldier who fired without aiming carefully. A person who becomes angry easily is called “a hothead”. An angry persons neck often becomes red. We say he is “hot under the collar”. You could say that your friend is no hothead. But he got hot under the collar when someone took his radio. The hot
33、line was a direct communication link between the leaders of the Soviet Union and the United States. The hot line had an important purpose: to prevent accidental war between the two competitors during the period known as the Cold War. The American president and the Soviet leader were able to communic
34、ate directly and immediately on the hot line. 56. If you describe something as a hot potato, it _. A. is very popular B. has a high temperature C. is very difficult to deal with D. cant be held in your hand 57. According to the text, which of the following statements is NOT true? A. All of the expre
35、ssions made with the word hot are simple, easily-understood. B. Taxes can be a hot potato for a politician if not handled carefully. C. The expression “a hot shot” was born in the military forces. D. If you say that the new play you saw last night is not so hot, you do not consider it a success. 58.
36、 “Hot” is a word that is often used to talk about anger, which two phrases are associated with this meaning? A. a hot shot, a hot potato B. a hothead, a hot shot C. hot under the collar, a hothead D. a hot potato, hot under the collar 59. The purpose of the first hot line was _. A. to stop the Cold
37、War B. to prevent accidental war between the two superpowers C. to promote the cooperation between the Soviet Union and the United States D. to make direct telephone links for the people in Moscow and Washington B There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degrees of health
38、 and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes miserable. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds. The people who are to be happy fix their attention on the conveniences of things
39、, the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the contary things. Therefore, they are contiunally dissatisfied. By their remarks, they ruin the pleas
40、ures of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind were founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The tendency to criticize and be disgusted is perhaps taken up originally by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown t
41、o its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it are sure of its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit. Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has ser
42、ious consequences in life, since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others, nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect,and scarcely that. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they a
43、im at obtaining some advantages in rank or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone stir a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public disapproval, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join in to critciize their misconduct. These people shoul
44、d change this bad habit and try hard to be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes
45、 mixed up in their quarrel. 60.People who are unhappy _. A. always consider things a little bit differently from others B. usually are influenced by the results of certain things C. can discover the unpleasant part of certain things D. usually have a fault-finding habit 61.
