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 dont say!” “You dont say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not a right topic. “Well, Id 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 dont say!” I couldnt help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didnt ask you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didnt you say you dont say?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “ You dont say actually means really! It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you dont 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.36. A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because .A. I had no interest in them B. English idioms were very difficultC. I did not realize the importance of themD. my teacher didnt tell us the importance of them37.

I had to stop talking C. he was not interested in the topic D. he was only interested in the Great Wall38. “ was shown in an amusing experience.” The word “amusing” probably means .A. interesting B. important C. terrible D. unlucky39.

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 were 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, youve 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 dont have to burn anything, and theres 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 doesnt 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. Thats a pretty long flight.41. 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.42. Which of the following is TRUE of Solar Impulse? A. It can only fly at night. B. It has already flown across the US. C. It is powered by the sun.D. It needs gas to work.43. 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.44. What does the writer mean by “Thats 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.45. The passage is most probably taken from_. A. a Greek mythB. a science fictionC. a story-bookD. a science magazineDGrowing 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 dont 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. 46. According to the passage, many people begin to plant mushrooms probably _.A. because they are in great need. B. because they look very beautifulC. bec
