四川省眉山市仁寿县2017年英语中考模拟试卷（三）
We've talked about snails (蜗牛) and their slow move. But much of the time snails don't move at all. They're in their shells —sleeping .
Hot sun will dry out a snail's body. So at the least sign of hot sun, a snail draws its body into its shell and closes the opening with a thin cover. Then it goes to sleep. A snail will die in a heavy rain. So whenever it rains, it goes inside its shell house and goes to sleep. A snail can sleep for as long as it needs to. It can take a short sleep. Or it can sleep for days at a time. And it spends all the winter months in its shell, asleep.
In spring the snail wakes up. Its body, about three inches long, comes out of from the shell. When hungry, the snail looks for food. It can't see very well. Its eyes, at the ends of the top feelers are very weak. But its sense of smell is very strong. It helps the snail to the new greens. Then the snail's little mouth goes to work.
A snail's mouth is no longer than the point of a pin(针). Yet it has 256,000 teeth! The teeth are so small that you can't see them. But they do their work. If you put a snail in a hard paper box, it will eat its way out. And if a snail wears out its teeth, it will grow new ones.
Mostly, a snail looks for food at night .But on cloudy days it eats in the daytime. It eats all day long. A snail can go on eating for hours and never feel full.

One way to improve your English is to learn English idioms（习语） and then use them.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. They make you sound more like a native speaker. Like other languages, English has thousands of idioms which you can use in many different situations, or to talk about your feelings and opinions. So how do you learn them?
Learn idioms in the context（上下文）
Don't learn idioms by making lists. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. Make sure you have an example of how the idiom is used, and know clearly whether it's common. This is important, because if you use the idiom in the wrong situation, it won't sound natural.
Don't try to learn too many at one time
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}. For that reason, don't try to learn more than five at any one time. Don't forget: You'll need to practise your new idioms(like any new vocabulary), so limit（限制）what you do in any lesson.
Understand the feeling
We often use an idiom to express a feeling or emotion. So for example, we say that someone has a heart of gold. Because gold is a valuable metal, we can imagine that someone with a heart of gold is a good person. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.
Listen out for idioms
If you hear two words used together in an unusual way, it might be a new idiom. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. However, usually you might need to make a note of it or ask the person who has spoken it.
A. Idioms can be difficult B. Instead, learn their meanings in the context C. In fact, it does mean that a person is very kind D. Idioms can add interest to what you say or write E. Sometimes you can guess its meaning in the context |
