3.And,though what a farmer plants is often quite small-perhaps just a handful of seeds, when the crops ripen, the harvest is quite large.虽然农民栽种的常常是小的东西，也许仅是一捧种子，但庄稼成熟时，收成是相当大的。

此句是复合句，though what a farmer plants is often quite small-perhaps just a handful of seeds 是though引导的让步状语从句。

从句中主语是what引导的what a farmer plants。

when the crops ripen, the harvest is quite large是主句，在主句中when the crops ripen是时间状语从句。

二、阅读理解
What is an idiom? An idiom is a group of words which, when used together, has a different meaning from the one which the individual words have. For example, "— How do you know that Sid and Nancy have separated ?" "— I heard it on the grapevine(葡萄藤)".
Of course, the second speaker does not mean he heard the news about John by putting his ear to a grapevine! He is conveying the idea visually of information spreading around a widespread network, similar to a grapevine. We use idioms to express something that other words do not express as clearly or as cleverly. We often use an image or symbol to describe something as clearly as possible and thus make our point as effectively as possible. For example, "in a nutshell" suggests the idea of having all the information contained within very few words. Idioms tend to be informal and are best used in spoken rather than written English.
One of the best ways to learn an idiom is by looking at the context in which it is used. This can be done by concentrating on the rest of the sentence and try to guess the meaning. Many idioms are not that difficult to understand when considered in their context. For example: We are going to have a surprise party for Tom tomorrow. It's a secret so please don't let the cat out of the bag.
23
"Let the cat out of the bag" is an idiom. Imagine you don't know what this idiom means; by looking at the words preceding, it should be easy to guess that the speaker does not want you to tell Tom about the surprise party. Therefore, "let the cat out of the bag" must mean something like "reveal a secret" or "tell a secret".
1. Which of the following sentences is NOT similar to "I heard it on the grapevine." in figures of speech(在修辞方面)?
A . The exam was a piece of cake.
B . You will be paid under the table.
C . You eat with that mouth?
D . It rained cats and dogs yesterday.
2. "I was feeling under the weather so I went to see a doctor." The underlined idiom means _____.
A . blue
B . homesick
C . unhappy
D . ill
3. It is most probable that idioms will be seen ______.
A . in a paper
B . in an preface(序言)
C . in a notice
D . in online chatting
4. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A . Other words can express something as vividly as idioms.
B . Written English with spoken English does not use idioms at all.
C . There are plant, food, animal idioms used to express something.
D . Contexts play not a bit important part in guessing the meaning of idioms.
答案解析：CDDC
1.由“I heard it on the grapevine.” 定位至第一段可知“An idiom is a group of words has a different meaning from the one which the individual words have.”，即习语是由一些单词构成的，但它所表达的意思却不同于单个单词的意思。

A项表示“这场考试就是小菜一碟”，与cake 原意不同；B项表示“私下；用于贿赂”，与under the table 的字面意思不同；C 项表示“你是用这张嘴吃饭的吗”，即字面意思；D项意为“昨天大雨滂沱”，与cats and dogs 字面意思不同。

故正确答案为C。

2.由后半句“went to see a doctor” 可知，划线句的意思为生病了（ill）。

blue 意为“忧郁的”，homesick 意为“想家的”，unhappy 意为“不高兴”，均与句意无关，故正确答案为D。

24
3.推断题。

由第二段最后一句“Idioms tend to be informal and are best used in spoken rather than written English.” 可知习语是不正式用语，经常用于口语而非书面语。

A、B、C项都要使用书面语，而在线聊天可以使用习语。

故正确答案为D。

4.细节题。

由第二段第二句“We use idioms to express something that othe r words do not express as clearly or as cleverly.” 可知习语的表达比其他单词更加形象生动，故A项错误；由第二段最后一句“Idioms tend to be informal and are best used in spoken rather than written English.” 可知口语中经常使用习语，而书面语中不使用习语，故B项错误；由第三段第一句“One of the best ways to learn an idiom is by lo oking at the context in which it
is used.” 可知学习习语的最好办法就是在上下文中理解它，因此上下文是非常重要的，故D项错误；从本文中列举的习语包括“I heard it on the grapevine”，“in a nutshell”，“Let the cat out of the bag”，都是与植物，食物，动物有关的习语，故正确答案为C。

三、阅读填句
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

The traditional American school year begins in late August or early September.It ends in May or June, followed by summer vacation. 1___ Because long ago, young people had to help their families harvest summer crops, At least this is what people today may think.
2___ A recent report from an education policy center at Indiana University explored the historical roots of the traditional school calendar.
In the early days of the United States, children were not required to attend school School calendars depended on local needs. 3____ They worked on family farms during the other months, City schools were often open much longer, some for eleven months of the year.
After the Civil War, more and more people saw the need for a system of required
education.__4______Many city schools wanted a shorter year and a longer summer break, The schools were often crowded. There was no modern air conditioning. Hot days would make it difficult to learn. Many rural educators, however, pushed for a longer school year. They thought it would keep children safe from industrial dangers when there were few child-labor laws.
So the traditional school calendar was a compromise (折中). The average school year used to be one hundred and seventy days. Times have not changed much. 5____ But some experts think the traditional school calendar needs to change because the needs of the nation have changed. This thinking has led some schools to keep students in class longer.
A. Why such a long break?
B. Today the common average is one hundred and eighty days.
C. Americans think highly of their traditional school calendar.
D. Most schools had similar school calendars.
E. But the reason has more to it.
F. Students in rural areas went to school for no more than six months of the year.
G. But they had different ideas for the calendar.
