14、out water are almost as common as water itself. But many of the expressions using water have unpleasant meanings. The expression “to be in hot water“ is one of them. Its a very old expression. “Hot water“ was used five hundred years ago to mean being in trouble. It can be any kind of trouble, seriou
15、s or not so serious. A person who breaks a law can be in hot water with the police. A young boy can be in hot water with his mother if he walks in a house with dirty shoes. One story says it got the meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle. That no l
16、ong happens but we still get in hot water. “To keep your head above water is a colorful expression that means “stand out of debt“. A company seeks to keep its head above water during economic hard times. A man who loses his job tries to keep his head above water until he finds a new job. “Water over
17、 the dam is another expression about a past event that is finished and cannot be changed. The expression comes from the idea that water has flowed over a dam, cannot be brought back again. When a friend is troubled by a mistake she has made, you might tell her to forget about it. You say “Its water
18、over the dam“. Another common expression “to hold water“ is about the strength or weakness of an idea or opinion that you may be arguing about. It probably comes from a way of testing the condition of a container. If it can hold water, it is strong and has no holes in it. If your argument can hold w
19、ater, its strong and does not have any holes. If it does not hold water, its weak and not worth debating. “Throwing cold water“ is also an expression that deals with ideas or proposals. It means “do not like an idea“. For example, you want to buy a new car because the old one has some problems, but
20、your wife throws cold water on the idea, because she says “A new car costs too much“.（分数：8.00）(1).When we are in trouble, we can say that_.（分数：2.00）A.we are in hot waterB.we are out of redC.we keep our heads above waterD.its water over the dam(2).When we refer to a past event, we say _.（分数：2.00）A.we

22、 about words and their storiesB.dictionaryC.textbook on waterD.research paper on waterDr. Richard Stevens, a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the Open University, gives his opinion on cloning: “Cloning is a very curious issue that people get so uptight about. In a sense, the whole process of reprodu
23、ction is a kind of cloningits just that youre mixing the genes of two people, and with cloning youre not doing thatyoure just having the genes from one person. So it doesnt seem to me particularly striking in a way. Peoples fears seem to me rather unjustified and I think a lot of the fears around cl
24、oning stem from the inappropriate or mistaken notion that somehow one is cloning the person you are as an adult, which is of course not the case at all. All youre doing is passing on your genetic make-up, and all those features which make you into a human beinga complex function of interactions betw
25、een your genetic potential and environmental influence, through the course of your lifetimeare not going to be part of that cloning process. Youre only going to have the basic genetic make-up, which is hardly that different from giving to a child a shuffling of genes from two parents. So, from a psy
26、chological standpoint, cloning doesnt seem to me to raise that dramatic issue. It might possibly raise issues from a biological standpoint because of course sexual reproduction has all sorts of advantages and has had advantages in evolutionary terms. It avoids inbreeding of various kinds. I think se
27、xual reproduction gives a lot more diversityat least the genotypical mixtures that are around among individuals. So there may be problems on that score, but I dont really see its a fundamentally radical step. Cloning to me is not a big deal, its not a big issue. It was quite an exciting thing when i
28、t was done from a technical point of view, but from a moral point of view and a practical point of view I dont think its that relevant.“（分数：8.00）(1).According to Dr. Richard Stevens, peoples fears of cloning come from _.（分数：2.00）A.the wrong notion of what cloning meansB.a reasonable standpointC.thei

31、 sexual reproductionD.environment has no influence on a cloned person(4).To Dr. Richard Stevens, cloning is _.（分数：2.00）A.a curious matter that hes uptight aboutB.a very radical issue related to moralityC.quite an exciting thing from a technical point of viewD.a particularly sensational and attractiv
32、e matterBeautiful Wuyishan Mountain “The beauty of Wuyishan Mountain will amaze you,“ my Chinese friends said when told I would visit the nature reserve of Wuyishan Mountain. While I was impatient to verify their comments, I was skeptical(怀疑的). As a Canadian I am accustomed to large acres of greener
33、y and vast forest. But now, I must confess my impression was wrong. I was not aware that a nature reserve could embody such splendid scenery and offer such startling glimpse of history and ancient culture. In a country of 1.2 billion inhabitants, I have discovered the marvel of a nature coexists in
