原标题：两大法宝助你快速掌握高考听力之习语

习语的使用往往能使语言更加生动形象，而在高考听力中习语也会影响我们对文本的理解，甚至成为解题的关键。一起来看看下面这些高考听力中出现的习语你都认识吗？

02

学习习语有两大法宝：一是根据其字面义在具体的语境中推测其引申义。

比如这句话：

When it was my turn to speak, I really had my heart in my mouth.

【《新高中英语听力进阶》】

my heart in my mouth 字面意思是“我的心在嘴里”，当轮到我演讲的时候，心都跳到嗓子眼儿了。那么我们就可以推测出它的引申义为“提心吊胆”，用来形容人非常紧张的状态。

还有一大法宝就是：了解习语背后的词源故事。

比如这句：

I think our studying has paid off. We should pass the exam with flying colours!

【《新高中英语听力进阶》】

with flying colours 的起源和挂在船上的旗帜有关。很久以前，打完胜仗的船只在进港时会挂出五颜六色的旗帜。所以考试中“打胜仗”即“成绩优异”。
