Task 1

Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.

We don't have beds in the spacecraft, but we do have sleeping bags. During the day, when we are working, we leave the 'bags tied to the wall, out of the way. At bedtime we untie them and take them wherever we've chosen to sleep.

On most spacecraft flights everyone sleeps at the same time. No one has to stay awake to watch over the spacecraft; the craft's computers call us on the radio.

On the spacecraft, sleep-time doesn't mean nighttime. During each ninety-minute orbit (轨道) the sun "rises" and shines through our windows for about fifty minutes, then it "sets" as the spacecraft takes us around the dark side of the Earth. To keep the sun out of our eyes, we wear black sleep masks.

It is surprisingly easy to get comfortable and fall asleep in space. Every astronaut (宇航员) sleeps differently: some sleep upside down, some sideways, and some right side up. When it's time to sleep, I take my bag, my sleep mask and my tape player with earphones and float (漂浮) up to the flight deck (驾驶舱). Then I get into the bag, and float in a sitting position just above a seat, right next to a window. Before I pull the mask down over my eyes, I relax for a while, listening to music and watching the Earth go by under me.

When the astronauts are working, sleeping bags are fastened______.

A．on the wall

B．to their seats

C．onto the flight deck

D．anywhere they like

clock in the afternoon and I was driving along the road to take my daughter from school. Our plan was to go swimming together. I had finished my work at 4 o'clock and then gone to the Post Office. Then I stopped off at a shop in order to get some fresh fruits. We liked to have some fruits to eat after our swim.

I was driving along a high road on my way to my daughter's school. Over my road was another road which was built like a bridge for cars coming to the other way. I was hungry so I put the bag of apples in the seat beside me and started to eat one.

Suddenly l saw the cars in front of me start to move from side to side. Then my car started to shake! I didn't know what was happening. Perhaps something had gone wrong with my car. I drove a little more slowly and then I stopped the car and at the same moment the road fell onto the car in front of me.

I found myself in the dark. I couldn't move. The bottom parts of both of my. legs and my feet were hurting badly and I couldn't move them. All around me was quiet. But above me I could hear shouts and a lot of noise. Then I memorized(记起)what had happened. I had been in an earthquake.

For about two hours nobody came. Luckily I could reach the bag of apples, so at least I had plenty to eat. Then I heard people climbing towards me. A team of people had come to see if anyone was under the broken road. I called out, 'I’m here!" I heard a shout. Soon a stranger climbed to the side of the road near my car. "How about you？" he asked.

"Not too bad, "I said," But my feet and legs feel as if they're broken." "We'll have you out of there just as soon as we can." They didn't get me out until the next morning. I had been in my car for fourteen hours.

Directions: Underline as many idioms that you can find in the following passage. One has been done for you as an example. Is There a Skeleton in Your Closet？ Everyone thinks I'm the big cheese in math. The real truth is that I have to beat my brains out to get good grades. Today, the cat got out of the bag – everyone saw right through me. Today was a terrible day. I was down in the dumps from the minute I got out of bed. The first thing that I thought about was the math test that I would have to take at 1:00 pm. My studying last night wasn’t worth a hill of beans, and I knew I’d be in a pretty pickle when I got to math class. If that wasn’t bad enough, my little brother kept getting in my hair during breakfast. Mom was madder than a wet hen when my little brother and I got into a big fight. She almost bit our heads off! When I left for school, it was raining cats and dogs. My bike slipped out from under me, and I bit the dust! When I finally got to school, the math teacher was pretty burned up because none of us turned in our homework. When he handed out the test, I was shaking in my boots. I know! I blew it! I kept a stiff upper lip at school, but I needed to blow off some steam. I held my tongue until I made it to my room where I could scream my head off and throw things. One of my shoes went through the window, and now I’m really in the doghouse! Now, pick at least six of your underlined idioms and explain what they mean below. One has been done as an example for you. 1. beat my brains out: to try really hard at something 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
