People use their mouths for many things.They eat，talk，shout and sing.They smile and they kiss.In the English language，the word “mouth” has many meanings.But some of them are not so nice.

For example，if you say bad things about a person，the person might protest(抗议) and say, “Do not bad mouth me.”

Sometimes，people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret because it hurts that person's feelings.Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to tell.The speaker might say，“I really put my foot in my mouth this time.” In other words，he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing.

Sometimes when one person is speaking，he says the same thing that his friend was going to say.When this happens，the friend might say，“You took the words right out of my mouth！”

Some people have lots of money because they were born in a very rich family.There is an expression for this，too.You might say such a person “was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.”

This rich person is the opposite of a person who lives “from hand to

mouth.” This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life，like food.

（B）30.“I really put my foot in my mouth this time” means ______. A．I really did this

B．I regretted I had done the thing

Living in a foreign culture can be exciting，but it can also be confusing(令人困惑的).A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences.They found that miscommunications were always possible，even over something as simple as“yes” and“no”．

On her first day in Micronesia，an island in the Pacific，Lisa thought people weren't paying any attention to her.The day was hot.She went into a store and asked，“Do you have cold drinks？”The woman there didn't say anything.Lisa asked the question again.Still the Woman said nothing.She later learned that the woman had answered her: she had raised her eyebrows (眉毛)，which in Micronesia means“yes”．Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria，a country in Europe.She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage(卷心菜).She asked the waiter，“Do you have cabbage today？” He nodded his head.Jan waited，but the cabbage never came.In that country，a nod means no.

Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India.After explaining something in class，he asked his students if they understood.They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head.He thought some people had not understood，so he explained again.When he asked again，they did the same thing.He soon found out that his students did understand.In India，people nod and shake their

heads in different ways depending on where they come from.You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean“yes” or “no”．

D(2020·铁岭)

(垃圾分类)

If you live in Shanghai, you might have taken a “lesson” on garbage sorting(垃圾分类), Shanghai is the first city to carry out(实施)strict rules on garbage sorting. People in Shanghai know that garbage is sorted into four categories(类别)—recyclable, harmful, dry and wet waste. If people fail to sort their garbage properly, they can be fined up to 200 yuan, while companies will have to pay between 1，000 to 50，000 yuan for breaking the rules. Since the rules took effect, the amount of total daily waste in Shanghai has been reduced. The city also rebuilt 21，000 waste-sorting stations and more than 40，000 waste bins have been updated.

However, there have also been some problems. Some people complained that it is difficult to deal with wet garbage, as they are asked to remove wet garbage from its bag when dumping. According to the sorting rules, the wet garbage must go in the wet waste bin and the bag must go in the dry waste bin. Because the wet garbage will decompose(分解)properly and become useful organic(有机的)waste.

By the end of 2020, garbage-sorting systems will be set up in 46 cities in our country. Everyone should take an active part in garbage sorting.

(B)38.______ is the first city to carry out strict rules on garbage sorting. A．Beijing B．Shanghai C．Shenzhen D．Chongqing

(C)39.The underlined word “fined”means“______”in Chinese.

A．In 2021 B．By the end of 2020

C．Since 2020 D．At the beginning of 2020

(D )41.According to the passage, we can learn that garbage sorting is ______.

A．awful B．relaxing C．painful D．necessary

People often think of the North Pole (北极) and the South Pole as similar frozen (冰冻的) wastelands.They are both places with very low temperatures and few people live there.However，the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine.

The North Pole has no land，only thick ice.Temperatures seldom go above 32°F，at which water turns into ice.Most of the time，it stays below zero.In winter temperatures are usually as low as －30°F.

Although conditions(条件) were very poor，people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole.About 100 years ago，two men，Robert Peary and Mathew Henson，were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties.They reached the North Pole on March 8th，1909.It was really a hard trip for them.

There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic (北极) on foot.People who stayed there may face many problems: very low temperatures，sudden storms，and even hunger.Most of the area is uninhabited.Few people can live in such a difficult place.

People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year，the ice would be thick and hard.However，this is not true in the Arctic.The movement of the ocean(海洋)water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface(表面).Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water (水道) called “leads\”．Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.

（B）42.This passage is probably from ______.

A．a book review B．a science book

C．a school report D．a computer magazine

（A）43.According to the passage，what happened about 100 years ago? A．Two men succeeded in getting to the North Pole. B．Temperatures in the North Pole went above 32°F.

C．The environment in the North Pole suddenly became worse. D．The North Pole changed into thick ice because of the temperatures. （D）44.What does the underlined word “uninhabited\”

probably mean in Chinese?

A．气候恶劣的B．充满危险的

C．困难重重的D．无人居住的

（C）45.The reason for the ice to break into two opening lanes of water is ______.

A．that the temperature suddenly drops

B．that the water under the ice is frozen

C．that the ocean water under the ice moves

D．that the surface is covered with lots of ice

Sure enough，we have homemade music with a homemade echo!
