Every person uses his own special words to show his ideas and feelings. Some of these expressions are commonly used for many years. Others are popular for just a short time. One such American expression is “Where’s the beef ?”. It is used when something is not as good as it is said to be. In the early 1980s, “Where’s the beef ?” was one of the most popular expressions in the . It seemed as if everyone was using it at that time.
Beef, of course, is the meat from a cow, and no food is more popular in than a hamburger made from beef.

Ray Kroch became one of the richest businessmen in .
Other business people saw his success. Some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants. One company called “Wendy’s” said its hamburgers were bigger than those sold by McDonald’s or anyone else. The Wendy’s company began to use the expression “Where’s the beef ?” to make people know that Wendy’s hamburgers were the biggest. The Wendy’s television advertisement showed three old women eating hamburgers. The bread that covered the meat was very big, but inside there was only a bit of meat. One of the women said she would not eat a hamburger with such a little piece of beef.“Where’s the beef?”she shouted in a funny way. The advertisement for Wendy’s hamburger restaurants was a success. As we said, it seemed everyone began using the expression “Where’s the beef ?”.

第二部分 基础知识运用
Ⅰ. 1.C 此题考查对书本知识的熟悉程度。澳式英语中的Good on ya, mate!与英式英语中的
Well done!同义。
2.B since+点时间；in+段时间，常和将来时态连用，表示“以现在为起点，一段时间之后”；after+点时间，常和过去时态连用；for+段时间，指一段时间，而不指一段时间后。a few days为段时间，故正确答案为B。
3.C 此题考查短语come about，意为“发生”。come to后接动词原形，come on有“加
油”的意思，come in意为“进来”，故选C。
4.C 此题考查主谓一致。not only … but also … 不但……而且……，谓语动词和but also之后的主语应该相一致。本题是在陈述一个事实，所以应该用一般现在时，故选C。
5.C 此题考查短语depend on，意为“依靠”。
6.A 本句中follow the doctor’s advice表示“遵照医嘱”。
7.D 本句考查“make+宾语+过去分词”这一结构。过去分词作宾语补足语，表明宾语

19.B 根据本句When you wave to a friend on the street, you are … 的题意和语法提示此
处应填进行时态using。
20.C 此题考查固定短语，put up举手；take up占据；make up组成；根据题意“当你
在课堂上举手时”，你就是在表示“请……”, 可知举手符合题意。故选C。
21.A 根据题意可知“我有问题要问”，此处为不定式作定语的结构。不定式作定语要
后置，故选A。
22.B be friendly to sb. 为固定结构，表示“对某人友好”。
23.D 此处考查系表结构。be quiet在此处为祈使句形式，表示“安静”。

（使）静下来，而prevent表示“阻止，预防”，stop更符合题意。

Dear Mr. Zhou，
How are you? I have been in for a week. I come here to visit my uncle and spend the summer holiday. Just as I thought, I have some difficulties in understanding the people here.

I really want to know how the differences come about. Please write to me soon.
Best wishes to you and your family.
Yours，
Wang Qun
