everyone is expected to pay for his own share of the food and drink. if people go “dutch treat”, or simply “go dutch”, it means that they will share the expenses of a social engagement. there are many other “dutch” expressions in english, many of which were invented in britain in the seventeenth century, when the dutch and the english were commercial and military rivals. the british used “dutch” to refer to something bad, cheap and shameful. a “dutch bargain” at that time was an uneven, one-sided deal; “dutch reckoning” was an unitemized account; and “dutch widow” was slang for prostitute. later centuries brought in “dutch courage”, for bravery induced by drink; “dutch concert”, for discordant music; “dutch nightingale”, meaning a frog; and “double dutch”, for incomprehensible language, or unintelligible talk. some of the expressions are still in use today, but some are not. in fact, in american english, some “dutch” expressions have nothing to do with the dutch, but something with the german. it was probably because of the similar spelling and pronunciation that people made a mistake in distinguishing between “dutch” and “deutsch” (the german word for german), when german immigrants came to america in the 1700s. for instance, “the pennsylvania dutch” refers to the german descendants, instead of the dutch descendants, living in pennsylvania. 56. many of the “dutch” expressions were invented with derogatory (贬义) sense, because . a. the dutch were underdeveloped people. b .britain and holland were competitors at that time. c. the dutch had many bad habits. d. the british were superior to the dutch. 【答案】b【解析】细节理解题。根据when the dutch and the english were commercial and military rivals. 英国和荷兰进行商业和军事竞争，故选b。57. with the information you get from paragraph 2, make a guess at the meaning of the sentence “you are in dutch”. it probably means .a.you are in holland. b. you are welcome. c. you are in trouble. d. you are lucky.【答案】c【解析】句意猜测题。根据the british used “dutch” to refer to something bad and shameful.因为dutch指的是不好可耻的事情，所以这句应该理解为“你有麻烦了”，故选c。58. according to the passage, some native american “dutch” expressions were related to the german instead of the dutch, simply because .a. people hated the german as much as the dutch. b.people made a mistake at the beginning. c.people made a joke about the german.d.the german immigrants proclaimed that they were dutch. 【答案】b【解析】细节理解题。根据it was probably because of the similar spelling and pronunciation that people made a mistake in distinguishing between “dutch” and “deutsch” (the german word for german),是因为人们在开始时出现了错误，故选b。阅读理解【2】once a man came to allah (安拉) and said，“oh allah，i have many bad habitswhich one should i give up first？” allah said，“give up telling lies first and always tell the
