A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms (习语), though my teacher told us the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.
One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be surprised. Gently shaking his head，shrugging his shoulders, he said，“You don’t say!” “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not a right topic. “Well, I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was wonderful.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted (打断) again by his words: “You don’t say!” I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn’t ask you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘you don’t say’?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “ ‘You don’t say’ actually means ‘really!’ It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.” I realized I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.
25. A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because .
A. I had no interest in them
B. English idioms were very difficult
C. I did not realize the importance of them
D. my teacher didn’t tell us the importance of them
26. At first, on hearing “You don’t say,” I thought the foreigner meant .
A. I had talked too much B. I had to stop talking
C. he was not interested in the topic D. he was only interested in the Great Wall
27. “… was shown in an amusing experience.” The word “amusing” probably means .
A. interesting B. important C. terrible D. unlucky
28. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The Englishman wanted me to act as his guide.
B. The Englishman left China without seeing the Great Wall.
C. The Englishman wanted to see the Great Wall after I talked about it.
D. The Englishman visited the Great Wall and thought it worth visiting.
C
Thousands of years ago, people didn’t know that the Earth moved. They thought the sun really did move across the sky. The Greek god Helios was said to drive the sun around the sky with his chariot (战车). But now, these ideas have all changed. Nowadays, it is the sun that drives our “chariot” around the sky.? So what does all this mean? Well, quite simply, there is now a plane (or “chariot”) that is powered by the sun. It has special parts in its wings. These parts absorb power from the sun. They absorb so much power that they can carry on flying at night. In the Greek myths (希腊神话), Helios had to take a break at night. It seems we’re finally even more efficient than the gods themselves. This plane is called Solar Impulse (“太阳驱动”号). It will fly across the US in May. This is very important for the future of the world. So why is solar energy so good for us? Well, other kinds of energy cause a few problems. If you live in China, you’ve probably noticed the pollution. This is caused by burning coal or gas to make energy. The heat and chemicals (化学制品) from this make things work. But if we use the heat from the sun, we don’t have to burn anything, and there’s no pollution. Solar energy is not all there yet. It needs to be improved. But the best thing about it is that, unlike coal and gas, it doesn’t run out. Solar Impulse could keep flying forever. Well, actually, the sun will run out too, one day, but not for another 5 billion years. That’s a pretty long flight. 29. What does “chariot” really refer to in the last sentence of Paragraph 1? A. The Earth. B. The Greek god. C. Solar Impulse. D. Birds. 30. In the passage, what is mentioned as the cause of pollution in China? A. Overpopulation. B. Burning coal or gas. C. Using solar energy. D. Heavy traffic. 31. What does the writer mean by “That’s a pretty long flight”? A. It takes a lot of time to get Solar Impulse going. B. Solar Impulse moves very slowly. C. Solar Impulse will be in use for a long time. D. Solar Impulse has a long way to go to take the place of the sun.
32. The passage is most probably taken from___________.
A. a Greek myth B. a science fiction
C. a story-book D. a science magazine
D
Growing mushrooms (蘑菇) is probably the easiest thing you can do even if you are new to mushroom growing. It is becoming more common because restaurants are starting to create more dishes that include mushrooms.
Mushroom growing is easy. To start, you need to have a space where you are going to grow these mushrooms. It does not have to be a huge space but just enough for you to grow as many mushrooms as you need. When you have found the space perfect for you, you can start researching what kind of mushrooms you want to grow. There are a lot of mushrooms to choose from and not all of them are suitable to eat.
When you decide what kind of mushrooms you want to grow, you can start getting ready to plant the mushrooms. Sometimes you may want to hire some workers to help if you have a large mushroom farm, or if you are trying to start a professional mushroom growing business. Trying to have a business by yourself can be stressful. If you don’t have enough time to spend taking care of everything yourself, some helpers may be the best choice.
After you have started the mushroom growing, you should regularly check that your mushrooms grow properly and that they are not being attacked by any pesticides (农药) or any other animals or something that could be dangerous to them. That is the worst part of mushroom developing. Protect your mushroom farm well with a fence (围栏) or a gate so that only you and your workers can get in and out.
Mushroom growing is not difficult and it is easy to get stared in the world of farming. You will soon possibly be able to provide some of the great cooks of the world with high quality mushrooms that will be enjoyed by thousands of people all over the world.
33. According to the passage, many people begin to plant mushrooms probably _________.
A. because they are in great need. B. because they look very beautiful
C. because they are healthy food D. because they are very expensive
34. Which of the following is the right order of planting mushrooms?
a. Choose suitable mushrooms.
b. Protect your mushrooms well.
c. Find some workers to help you.
d. Start to grow the mushrooms.
e. Find a place to plant your mushrooms.
A. c—a—d—b—e B. e—a—c—d—b
C. c—a—e—b—d D. e—a—d—b—c
35. It can be inferred (推断) from the passage that __________.
A. pesticides can be used in mushroom growing
B. anyone can produce high quality mushrooms.
C. after starting, you should always take care of the mushrooms
D. having a mushroom business is not so difficult

Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m a student from Xinhua Middle School. I’m glad to learn that you want a few part-time English reporters. I’m quite interested in it.
I think I’m fit for the job. As a student, I’ve read a lot and much knowledge in many fields. I’m fond of English and do well in both speaking and writing. Besides, I’m easy to get along with and enjoy working with others. Above all, I once worked as a reporter for my school broadcasting station. So I’m sure I can do the job well if I get the position.
I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
