When people discuss Nepal，it's impossible not to talk about Mount Everest.But this Himalayan nation has so much more on offer for travelers who aren't climbing the world's highest mountain.

2．As I look up at the hundreds of fireworks in the sky，I hear the bells ringing in a small temple welcoming the coming of the Chinese New Year.Though I may not believe in or understand many of the New Year traditions here，the similarities between the coming of this New Year and the beginning of my new life in China are not lost on a big boy like me.
My first few days in China were a cultural shock to say the least.Having arrived late in the semester，I immediately had to begin my beginners' Chinese classes，along with the newest class of overseas students.Being surrounded by a language that isn't your own is unbelievably annoying.Due to the picture-based fashion of Chinese writing，it's not like you can have a guess，or work it out through whatever knowledge you have from other Latin-originated languages.If you don't know what it says，then that's it.However，with time passing，I have found myself progressing，though painfully slowly.The first time I called a taxi by myself，the driver actually understood where I wanted to go，which is hugely rewarding （有益的）.Still，it is never long before my lack of language skill is exposed（暴露的）and I come crashing back to earth，usually immediately upon leaving the taxi.
Gaining a language is a huge valuable skill.However，it is not the only thing I will gain in China.After this year of learning Chinese，I aim to gain my master's degree here at University of Jinan.Opportunities do come around rather often：from being offered jobs teaching English，to being asked to appear on game-shows for Shandong TV.So，for now，I am just looking forward to expanding my cultural horizons（眼界） and enjoying my time here.It takes some time to get used to everything，but that's part of the adventure and，most of all，employment.So，much like the Chinese New Year that I am lucky enough to be part of，I am just looking forward to a fresh start and a new journey in China.
（1）Why couldn't the author guess the meaning of the Chinese language？
A．Because of his late arrival.
B．Because of his lack of the Latin language.
C．Because of his experience of cultural shock.
D．Because of the unique way of Chinese writing.
（2）What does the author want to show through his taxi experience？
A．He is poor at using public transport.
B．He finds it easy to call a taxi in China.
C．He is good at chatting with the taxi driver.
D．He feels pleased to have made progress in Chinese.
（3）What is the author's present expectation？
A．To settle down in China.
B．To broaden his cultural horizons.
C．To become a famous host on TV.
D．To be an excellent teaching assistant.
（4）Which can be the best title for this passage？
A．Exploring Chinese：valuable skills mastered.
B．Learning Chinese：adventurous but enjoyable.
C．Studying in China：challenging but rewarding.
D．Coming to China：more opportunities promised.組卷：13引用：4難度：0.3 -
3．In American English，when someone says he has to "face the music"，it doesn't mean he is going to a musical performance or a concert.
Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful sports car.She says， "Please don't drive jye.ai.It's an extremely fast car. " But you want to pretend the car is yours.So，you drive it around one night.As bad luck would have it，you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign.When your friend returns，you must "face the music".It can be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her car or both.
In 1851，the writer James Fenimore explained "face the music".In a theater，the orchestra （管弦樂隊）sits in front of the stage.So，the actors on stage face the musicians.Many actors are very nervous，and this condition is called "stage fright".They may want to run away. "Facing the music" means accepting it and not giving in to it.
Word experts say "face the music" may come from the army.A soldier could be forced out of the horse cavalry（騎兵團） because of the serious mistake in the war.The army drummers would play a sad beat.The soldier would be seated backward on a horse and face the music of the drums.
To "take your medicine" is to accept the bad result from something you have done.And if someone says， "You made your bed.Now lie in it， " he means you create a bad situation and you must deal with it. "Pay the piper" is also similar to "face the music".But it's fun to "lie in the bed and enjoy music".
There are many idioms（習語）in the English language，whose real meanings are largely based on the context.Don't read only with your eyes，or you would make a fool of yourself.
（1）In Paragraph 2， "face the music" probably means "".
A．accept the bad result
B．go to a concert
C．refuse to repair the car
D．pretend the car is yours
（2）What can we know about the soldier in the text？
A．He wanted to be a cavalry officer.
B．He would play the drum in the army.
C．He must have done something terrible.
D．He would be punished by the army drummers.
（3）Which is different from the other expressions in meaning？
A．Pay the piper.
B．Take your medicine.
C．Lie in the bed and enjoy music.
D．You made your bed.Now lie in it.
（4）What does the text mainly talk about？
A．The great fun of learning English idioms.
B．The origins of some useful English idioms.
C．Some interesting stories from English idioms.
D．Understanding English idioms in the context.組卷：3引用：5難度：0.3
