Today we will look at some of them from Lewis Carrolls famous novel Alice in Wonderland in detail.The story is about a young girl falling down a rabbit hole. When she finally lands, she finds herself in a strange world and meets some strange characters.The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit, who runs past her and says some strange words. Alice chases（追赶）him, and that is where her adventures begin.In English, chasing a white rabbit means chasing an impossible clue and finding yourself in a misleading situation.Then, as she runs after the rabbit, she falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland.To fall down the rabbit hole can mean to enter a confusing（令人困惑的）situation. However, usually we use this expression to mean we get interested in something to the point of distraction（分神）.It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningful.Later in the story, Alice meets the March Hare and the Hatter at a crazy tea party. Hares（野兔）have long been thought to behave excitedly in March, which is their mating（交配）season. Scientifically, this may not be true. But to be mad as a March Hare means that someone is completely mad, or crazy. The expression mad as a Hatter also means to be completely crazy. Of the two, mad as a Hatter is more common. But dont tell the March Hare. Who knows how he will react（反应）！Near the end of the story, Alice meets the Queen of Hearts. A woman who is called a Queen of Hearts likes controlling others and always tries to control everything and everyone around her.（1）Which of the following situations best fits the expressions to fall down a rabbit hole? A . When Tom was taking a walk in the forest, he suddenly fell over onto the ground.B . When Mary turned on the TV, she chose to watch the talk show programme as usual.C . When Jim was looking for a sport book online, he lost himself in many report on surperstars.D . When Lily was thinking about how to solve a math problem, she came up with a good idea.（2）According to the passage, the expression to be mad as a March Hare _. A . describes how hares behave in MarchB . shows hares characteristics in a scientific wayC . is used more often than the expression mad as a Hatter.D . has the same meaning as the expression mad as a Hatter（3）Which character in Alice in Wonderland wants others to obey his or her orders in every situation? A . AliceB . The March HareC . The HatterD . The Queen of Hearts.（4）The writer mainly wants to _ in the passage. A . introduce a famous novel and its language styleB . introduce a famous writer Lewis Carroll and his novelsC . explore some English expressions from a famous novelD . explain why many expressions in English come from novels13. （8分）阅读理解My mother was telling me about how she and her family got their first television when she was young.

In Britain, you can call a child almost anything you like except dirty words.Some parents choose names which come from popular culture. Because of the film the Lord of the Rings(指环王), six boys were named Gandalf. Names about sport are very common, too. Since 1984, 36 children have been called Arsenal after the football team.Other parents like to make up names, or combine(合并) two names to make a special one. A mother in Britain invented the name Tiaamii for her daughter. She combined the names Thea and Amy (the two grandmothers).In China, there are some rules about names - you cant use foreign letters or symbols(符号) in a Chinese name. For example, parents are not allowed to name their baby . In New Zealand, a name beginning with a number is not allowed. Other countries have stricter rules about calling children. For example, Japan, Denmark, Spain, Germany and Argentina have a list of names. Parents must choose the names in the lists for their children.In Britain, some old-fashioned(过时的) names have become popular again, such as Maisie or Ella for a girl, and Alfie or Noah for a boy. But the most popular names are not the strange ones. The top names are very traditional-Jack and Thomas for boys, or Grace and Jessica f6r girls.（1）In Britain, people cant use words in their childrens names.A . strangeB . popularC . old-fashionedD . dirty（2）Thirty-six children were called Arsenal because of a.A . movie starB . football starC . football teamD . film（3）According to the passage, which of the following names is NOT allowed?A .

People around the world show all kinds of feelings, wishes and attitudes that they might never speak aloud. It is possible to read others around us, even if they do not want us to catch their unspoken communication. Of course, body language can be misread, but many gestures and actions are common.The most common facial expression is, of course, the smile its function is to show happiness and put people at ease. It does not always mean that we are truly happy, however. Smiles around the world can be false, hiding other feelings like anger, fear or worry. There are unhappy smiles, such as when someone loses face and smiles to hide it. However, the general purpose of smiling is to show good feelings.From the time we are babies, we show unhappiness or anger by frowning (皱眉头). In most places around the world, frowning and turning ones back to someone shows anger. Making a fist (拳头) and shaking it almost always means that someone is angry.How about showing that I am bored? Looking away from people or yawning will, in most cases, make me appear to be uninterested. However, if I turn toward and look at someone or something, people from almost every culture will think that I am interested.Being respectful to people is subjective, based on each culture, but in general it is probably not a good idea to give a hug to boss or teacher. In almost every culture, it is not usually good to stand too close to someone of a higher rank (等级). Standing at a little distance with open hands will show that I am willing to listen.With so many cultural differences between people, it is great to have some similarities in body language. We can often be wrong about each other, so it is an amazing thing that we understand each other as well as we do!（1）What is even more powerful than spoken language according to the passage?（2）What is the most common facial expression?（3）How do babies normally show their anger?（4）What is not good to do when you stay with someone of a higher rank?（5）What does the writer mainly want to tell us四、 翻译。 (共1题；共2分)16. （2分）这些男孩中的五分之一喜欢踢足球。_of these boys like playing football五、 短文填空。 (共1题；共10分)17. （10分）从方框中选择正确选项，完成短文（方框中有两个选项是多余的。用备选单词前的字母填空）。A. children B. from C. watch D. talk with E. and F. easilyG. busiest H. each I. both J. turn off K. busier L. careIt seems that everywhere around the world, people are sending more time at work _less time with their families and friends.
