As an English teacher, I found that English slang(俚语) can be more difficult for those who learn English as a second language to understand. It can be confusing too. This became clear when I was talking to one of my students, Cathy, in Japan. "Excuse me, Miss White. I want to go to buy a notebook outside the school." "It's bucketing outside," I said. It is an English slang expression which means "it is raining". However, she didn't seem to understand what I said.
The point I'm trying to get across is that being puzzled about English slang in the beginning is rather natural because it is what makes the language special. But learning some slang is a fantastic way of understanding the culture of a country. English does have some interesting slang. Here is some of my favorite slang which is common in Northern Ireland.
To keel over: If someone keels over, it basically means that he/she has fallen over because he/she has passed out or died.
To be in bed with your head: This is used to describe someone who has gone to bed because he/she has a headache.
To upset the apple cart: This means that someone has caused trouble or upset someone's plans.
Dead on: This means exactly right, perfect, or shows that someone agrees with what you've said.
Slang can be difficult to learn but it's really impressive when you get it right! Slang also helps you sound friendly, so it's great for making friends. If you can use some of these English expressions in a conversation, people will be amazed!
11.How did Cathy feel when the author said "It's bucketing outside."
A.She was unhappy. B.She was surprised.
C.She was worried. D.She was puzzled.
12.What does the author think of English slang according to Paragraph 2
A.It tells us the history of a country. B.It is created by language teachers.
C.It reflects the culture of a country. D.It is used to impress foreigners.
13.If someone says, "Does the word mean 'elevator' ", what could you say
A.I keel over. B.You're dead on.
C.You upset the apple cart. D.I'm in bed with my head.
14.In which part of a newspaper can we read this text
A.Culture. B.Science. C.Travel. D.Lifestyle.

High school students perform better on tests if they are in a classroom with a view of green space, instead of a windowless room or a room with a view of built-up space, according to research from the University of Illinois Department of Landscape Architecture.
It is the first study to show a relationship between studying with a green view and students' performance, said William Sullivan, head of the Department of Landscape Architecture. It's a consequential finding that if you have a green view outside your window, you'll do better on tests. Sullivan hopes the research results will lead to policy changes. Changes in school design, for example, would be a much better thing than any of the things we spend money on in secondary education today, Sullivan said.
The research included 94 students at five high schools in central Illinois. Students were randomly assigned (随机分配) to one of three kinds of classrooms-windowless, with a window looking out onto built-up space, or with a window looking out onto green space. Each kind of classroom had a similar size and layout. The students took part in one-on-one experiments in which they did 30 minutes of activities that included a proofreading exercise, a speech and a maths exercise. Following the activities, the students were given an attention test which asked them to repeat a series of numbers.
The findings: Students did better on both study activities and the attention test if they were in a classroom with a green view, Sullivan said.
The researchers suggest their findings can help planners and policymakers improve students' well-being and learning. For example, planners can choose sites for new schools that already have trees and other vegetation (植被), or they can plant many trees on the site; architects (建筑师) can locate classroom, dining room and hallway windows so they look onto green spaces.
11.What did the study find out about high school students
A. They like to have green plants in their classrooms.
B. They will get better grades when studying in different classrooms.
C. Changes in school design will influence their attitudes towards teachers.
D. A green view through a classroom window can improve their performance.
12.What does the underlined word “consequential” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Common. B. Important. C. Obvious. D. Early.
13.What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. How the study was carried out. B. Why the study was different.
C. The purpose of the study. D. The result of the study.
14.What do the researchers think of the study
A. It has drawn public attention to education.
B. It can play a guiding role in school planning.
C. It has encouraged students to get close to nature.
D. It needs more support from high school teachers.
三、七选五（共5小题；每小题4分，满分20分）
Basketball is a team sport, and a good pass is very important. The pass is the action of moving the ball to create scoring opportunities. The pass calls for self-sacrifice for the greater good of the team.①________The following are some kinds of it.
A chest pass is a quick and accurate pass from the chest of the passer to the receiver. ②________You should extend your arms in a quick motion to pass the ball with palms facing outwards and thumbs facing the player you pass to. This is called follow-through.
③________It is relatively easy to steal, but an effective way of starting a fast break. Place your hands on both sides of the ball and bring the ball behind your head. Use your upper body strength to make the pass and follow-through.
In a bounce pass, the ball is bounced from the floor before reaching the receiver of the pass. The ball should bounce from that spot to arrive at your receiver above the knee and below the chest. ④________.
