Do you like chicken? We all know that a chicken is a cock or hen. But do you know other meanings of the word?
If we want to encourage someone who is timid, we can say, “ Be brave! Don’t be a chicken.” If someone is no longer young, we usually say, “You are no spring chicken” If a person chickens out of doing something, it must be because he or she is afraid..
Bob is one of my friends. He worked as a cleaner before. His salary was chicken feed compared to what the others could earn. And he didn’t plan for anything; he was running like a headless chicken all the time. Many people often laughed at him for his job and salary, but he always said, “Don’t count your chickens. I will be rich and successful one day! ”
Ten years later, he set up his own cleaning company and had about 100 cleaners in his company. No one laughs at him now. He is finally successful.

試題分析:這篇短文主要介紹了雞,除了傳統(tǒng)的意義公雞、母雞之外還可以表示多種意思,像Don’t be a chicken,鼓勵(lì)人們要勇敢;no spring chicken表示不再年輕;chicken feed形容薪水少等等。
1. someone is no longer young, we usually say, “You are no spring chicken”可知no spring chicken指一個(gè)人不再年輕,老了。上句表示走幾步就累,說明老了。故選C
2. a person chickens out of doing something, it must be because he or she is afraid..可知描述一個(gè)人害怕做事情可以用這個(gè)短語(yǔ),故填F
3. he didn’t plan for anything; he was running like a headless chicken all the time.可知如果做事情沒有計(jì)劃可以用這個(gè)短語(yǔ),故填E
4. salary was chicken feed compared to what the others could earn. And he didn’t plan for anything;可知chicken feed 短語(yǔ)用來比喻薪水少,故填D
5. we want to encourage someone who is timid, we can say, “ Be brave! Don’t be a chicken.” 可知Don’t be a chicken.是鼓勵(lì)膽小的人,要勇敢。根據(jù)句意可知湯姆膽小,故選A
