20．Cold weather has a great effect，on how our minds and our bodies work．Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word"cold"．For centuries，the body's blood has been linked closely with the emotions．People who show no human emotions or feelings，for example，are said to be cold-blooded．Cold-blooded people act in a merciless way．They may do brutal things to others，and not by accident．For example，a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer．The killer murdered someone，not in self-defense．He seemed to kill with no emotion．
Cold can affect other parts of 1he body，the feet，for example．Heavy socks can warm your feet，if your feet are really cold．But there is an expression-to get cold feet-that has nothing to do with cold or your feet．The expression means being afraid to do something you had decided to do．For example，you agree to be president of an organization．But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned．All the work of the organization will be your responsibility．You are likely to gel cold feet about being president when you understand the situation．
Cold can also affect your shoulder．You"give someone the cold shoulder"when you refuse to speak to them．You treat them in a distant，cold way．The expression probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone，instead of speaking to him face-to-face．You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise：he made to you．Or，to someone who has lied about you to others．
"A cold fish"is not a fish．It if a person．But it is a person who is unfriendly，unemotional and show no love or warmth．A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone．
"Out in the cold"is an expression often heard．It means not getting something that everybody else got．A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise．He was left out in the cold．And it is not a pleasant place to be．

67．The text is intended to tell us thatC．
A．cold weather has a great．effect on human bodies
B．"cold"is a word closely linked with human emotions
C．many English expressions contain the word"cold"
D．the word"cold"has many different meanings in English
68．The underlined word"brutal"in paragraph 1most probably meansA．
A．Cold-blooded．     B．illegal       C．impolite      D．extreme
69．Which phrase can best describe a person who is unwilling to offer anything to others？C
A．cruel                  B．To get cold feet．
C．A cold fish．          D．A cold shoulder．
70．If the teacher gives all the boys except Tom a pen as a prize，you can say heD．
A．is given the cold shoulder             B．is punished by a cold fish
C．has got cold feet                      D．is left out in the cold．

分析 文章主要介紹了一些含有 cold 的英語(yǔ)的意義，如cold-blooded，a cold fish，out in the cold等等．

解答 67-70 CACD
67：C   主旨題．文章主要介紹了一些含有 cold 的英語(yǔ)的意義，C項(xiàng)符合文意，所以C項(xiàng)正確．A項(xiàng)，文章沒有介紹寒冷天氣怎樣影響人體，所以A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤．B項(xiàng)，文章不是介紹 cold 這個(gè)單詞與人的情感的聯(lián)系，所以B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤．D項(xiàng)，文章不是介紹 cold 這個(gè)單詞的意義，而是介紹含有 cold 的一些短語(yǔ)，所以D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤．故正確答案為C．
68：A   由第一段第五六句"Cold-blooded people act in a merciless way．may do brutal things to others，and not by accident．"可知 They 指代 cold-blooded people，由此推斷 brutal 與 cold-blooded 意思相近，故正確答案為A．
69：C   推斷題．由第四段最后一句"A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone．"可知 cold fish 不會(huì)向別人奉獻(xiàn)太多，所以一個(gè)不愿意向別人提供任何東西的人可以被稱為 cold fish，故正確答案為C．
70：D   細(xì)節(jié)題．由最后一段第二句"It means not getting something that everybody else got．"可知，一個(gè)沒有得到其他人都已經(jīng)得到的東西的人可以被稱為 left out in the cold，故正確答案為D．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 閱讀理解題測(cè)試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力，要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系，對(duì)未說明的趨勢(shì)或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷；或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點(diǎn)理論，對(duì)文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋．考生首先要仔細(xì)閱讀短文，完整了解信息，準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀點(diǎn)．

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 trousers．That is，to be unable to sit still．

12．I was doing some Christmas shopping in a toy store and decided to look at Barbie dolls for my nieces．A nicely dressed little girl was excitedly looking through the Barbie dolls as well．As she was looking，a little boy came to the Pokemon toys．He was dressed neatly，but his clothes were obviously old．He was with his father as well，and kept picking up the Pokemon video toys．Each time he picked one up and looked at his father，his father shook his head and said，"No．"
The little girl had chosen her Barbie．However，she stopped and was watching them．Rather dejectedly，the boy had to give up the Pokemon toys and choose something else．The little girl put her Barbie back on the shelf，and ran over to the Pokemon toys．She excitedly picked up one and raced towards the checkout．I picked up my purchases and got in line behind them．Then，much to the little girl's delight，the little boy and his father got in line behind me．After the toy was paid for and bagged，the little girl handed it back to the cashier （收銀員） and whispered something in her ear．The casher smiled and put the package under the counter．
I paid for my purchases and was rearranging things when the little boy came up to the cashier．The cashier checked his purchases and said，"Congratulations，you are my hundredth customer today，and you win a prize!"With that，she handed the little boy the Pokemon toys，and he could only stare in surprise．It was exactly what he had wanted!
The little girl and her father had been standing at the doorway during all of this．Then they walked out．As I walked back to my car，I heard the father ask his daughter why she had done that．I'll never forget what she said to him．"Daddy，didn't Grandparents want me to buy something that would make me happy？"He said，"Of course they did，honey．"To which the little girl replied，"Well，I just did!"
I feel very shocked to have witnessed the true spirit of Christmas in that toy store，in the form of a little girl who understands more about the meaning of this festival than most adults I know．

56．The underlined word"dejectedly"in the second paragraph probably meansB．
A．delightedly  B．disappointedly  C．excitedly   D．unexpectedly

9．When Frida Kahlo's paintings were on show in London，a poet described her paintings as"a ribbon （絲帶）around a bomb"．Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time．Sadly，she is actually a much bigger nametoday than she was during her time．
Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City，Kahlo suffered from polio（小兒麻痹癥）at the age of seven．Her spine （脊柱）became bent as she grew older．Then，in 1925，her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident．Throughout the rest of her life，the artist had many operations，but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back．However，the accident had an unexpected side effect．While lying in her bed recovering，Kahlo taught herself to paint．
In 1929，she got married to Diego Rivera，another famous Mexican artist．Rivera's strong influences on Kahlo's style can be seen in her early works，but her later works from the 1940s，known today as her best works，show less influence from her husband．
Unfortunately，her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and1940s，even in her home country．Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953．For more than a decade after her death in 1954，Kahlo's works remained largely unnoticed by the world，but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last．
