Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
There are many idioms in English. An idiom is a phrase that we can't understand from the meaning of each word. The following are some of them.
As the crow flies
When a bird flies from place to place, it takes the most direct route. But when people drive, they have to follow roads and often go farther. When people give a distance "as the crow flies", they mean the shortest distance between the two points, not the distance you would have to travel by following roads.
As Dan and his mum drove along the river, they could see the beach on the opposite side. Dan asked "How far is it to the beach?"
"It's only about a quarter of a mile as the crow flies" his mother said.
Blow hot and cold
In one of Aesop's Fables, a man blows on his fingers to warm them up and then blows on his soup to cool it down. In both cases, the man is opening his mouth, but what comes out is different. If a person says one thing and later says the opposite, we say that the person is blowing hot and cold.
"Is Felicia going to try out for the soccer team this year?" Stacy asked.
"I don't know," Tricia replied." Last week she was saying yes, but this week she's saying no. She's really blowing hot and cold."
Break the ice
Nowadays people use the phrase to refer to ending an awkward silence by beginning a conversation.
It was the first day of summer camp. The four girls began to make their beds in silence. None of the girls knew each other, and no one knew what to say. Finally, one of them broke the ice by saying" Hey, where's everybody from?"
Bury the hatchet
In native American culture, when two nations agreed to end their war, they buried the hatchet. So to bury the hatchet is to make peace with someone else.
Colin could not excuse his sister for breaking his tennis racket. Finally, his sister said, "Colin, can't we bury the hatchet?"

【解析】本文是講述英語中的許多成語無法從每個單詞具體理解，文章就講述了幾個例子。

（1）B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段When people give a distance "as the crow flies", they mean the shortest distance between the two points, 當(dāng)人們談到“像烏鴉飛”的距離時，他們的意思是兩點之間最短的距離。故填B。

（2）B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段 If a person says one thing and later says the opposite, we say that the person is blowing hot and cold.如果一個人說了一件事，后來說了相反的話，那就是朝三暮四。故選B。

（3）C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)小標(biāo)題可知打破僵局，故此處柯林的姐姐是想與他和解。故選C。

（4）D推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章的內(nèi)容描述可知成語是一個我們無法從每一個詞的意義上理解的短語。故選D。
