In which part are you most likely to find it if the passage appears on the website?A. Entertainment. B. News. C. Character. D. Art.C“Shake a leg” and “show a leg” are usually discussed together, but it isnt at all clear how they are connected. Both phrases have more than one meaning. “Shake a leg” means “hurry up” according to the definition in the New York Magazine in 1904. Before that, “shake a leg” had another meaning, which was “to dance”. There are several quotations from all kinds of American and Britain sources from the mid-19th century that are related to dancing; for example, the Dubuque Democratic Herald, October 1863, in an advertisement for a local ball: “Nearly every man in town able to shake a leg has purchased a ticket.”“Show a leg” means either “make an appearance”, or it means “hurry up”. The second meaning isnt commonly used, nor is it old. Whatever the source, it isnt the original meaning of “show a leg”. Most commentators report that the phrase derives from the Royal Navy and that this was the order given to sailors to put a foot from their hammocks（吊床）and get up.The use of “show a leg” as a wake-up call is well documented. John Masefield (Poet Laureate from 1930 to 1967) was a trainee mariner on HMS Conway until 1891. He reported the full version of the morning call as: “Heave out, heave out, heave out, heave out! Away! Come all you sleepers, Hey! Show a leg.” Thats the earliest quotation of the naval call I can find, although it may have been used well before 1891.An alternative version comes from the fact that women were allowed on board Royal Navy ships in the 19th century and that they were allowed to stay asleep after the sailors had been woken. In the morning the bosuns mates（水手长助手） had to check whoever was still asleep and did so by requiring them to show a leg over the side of the hammock. If a leg was hairy, it was probably male and its owner was ordered to get up and begin work. Believe that if you will; personally, I dont.All in all, although both of the two English slangs are sometimes used to mean “hurry up”, they are two independent phrases that were coined with different meanings.28. How many ways does the slang “show a leg” come from?A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 4.29. In which sentence does “shake a leg” have a different meaning?A. I will shake a leg with him at the next ball with great pleasure.B. Nearly every man in town able to shake a leg has purchased a ticket.C. They wanted to shake a leg on a TV show.D. You must shake a leg to catch the last bus.30. What is the authors attitude to the version mentioned in Paragraph 5?A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Neutral. 31. The authors purpose of writing the text is most likely to _.A. to persuade readers to learn slangs seriously B. to describe “shake a leg” and “show a leg” C. to distinguish “shake a leg” and “show a leg” 2017届高三“十校”第二次联考 英语科试卷 第3页 共5页D. to remark on “shake a leg” and “show a leg”DChinese authorities will launch a campaign to regulate Internet finance, which is growing rapidly but threatens social stability due to illegal activities. Departments of political and legal work at all levels will work with banking regulatory authorities to establish a monitoring and warning system against financial risks and enhance information sharing among different regions and departments, according to a statement released at the central conference on political and legal work held in Beijing in January 2016.Internet finance refers to loans, investments and other financial services through online channels rather than banks and other traditional financial institutions.

But Internet finance has also brought about danger, and risks have surged as more people have been discovered to be raising funds illegally. These crimes, involving many people and a large amount in assets, may cause social risks.Authorities will crack down on (put down) illegal activities while protecting the legitimate (legal) rights of citizens and enterprises and lessening investors losses. They will also educate the public on risks, according to the statement. Police are investigating the Beijing-based E-Zubao, a large online financial platform, and associated companies for suspected illegal activities.China has seen rising online cheating, particularly in peer-to-peer lending, in the past year, according to a report published by online security company Liewang, whose name is translated into WEB HUNT.The company handled 24,886 reports of online cheating in 2015, up 7.96 percent from last year. The claims were worth a total of 127 million yuan (19 million U.S. dollars). Each claim was 5,106 yuan, about 1.5 times the number in 2014.32. From the passage we know that_.A.
