A. Choose the best answer: ( 12分) (词数：284) “Clear as a bell”, “raining cats and dogs” and “Saved by the bell”— we all use these common sayings from time to time. But what did these sayings really mean when they were first used? “Clear as a bell”. Now, it’s used to mean something that can be understood without difficulty. Back then? Before the time of loudspeakers (扬声器), church bells were used to tell a village or town of danger, death or something important. These church bells were very big and their sound could be heard from faraway farms. The sound was loud and clear as a bell. “Raining cats and dogs”. This sounds silly. How can cats and dogs rain from the sky？Okay, they can’t rain from the sky, but they can fall off from slippery (滑的) roofs. In Middle-aged England, these animals used to live on the roofs of houses. When it rained heavily, the roofs would become slippery and these animals would fall onto the ground below. So now this saying means raining heavily. “Saved by the bell”. This phrase is often used in classes where students are “saved” from answering difficult questions by the school bell. Its beginning was quite fearful. Hundreds of years ago in England, there was a fear of being buried (埋葬) alive. Maybe because medicine wasn’t as developed as it is today so it was difficult to tell if someone was really gone forever. To make sure someone who was buried alive could be saved, a little bell was tied to the person’s hand. This way, if he woke up underground, the grave (坟墓) keepers would hear the bell and save him. Scary！ “Pulling someone’s leg”. Now, it’s used to talk about laughing at someone. But this saying had a worse start. In older days, pulling someone’s leg was a good way to take away his money. One person would make him fall down by pulling his leg while the other would take his money away. ( )69. Now when we say something is “clear as a bell”, we mean it is ____. A. safe to deal with B. clear to see C. easy to understand D. exciting to listen to ( )70. In Middle-aged England, cats and dogs ____. A. slept on the roofs of houses B. liked walking on slippery roofs C. were not afraid of rain D. disliked living with humans ( )71. Which saying can be used to mean “make fun of”? A. Clear as a bell. B. Raining cats and dogs. C. Saved by the bell. D. Pulling someone’s leg. ( )72. The author tells us ____ common sayings in the passage. A. six B. five C. four D. three ( )73.

People pulled someone’s leg to ask for food in the past. D. A bell was tied to the buried person’s hand for decoration. ( )74. This passage is mainly about ____. A. the meanings of some sayings B. the starts of some sayings C. the ways of using some sayings D. the old customs of England B.

They would rush into the farm house that looked small from the outside, but was actually large and very comfortable inside. One day, Tisha noticed a red freezer (冷藏箱) in the kitchen.
