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.54. 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 book online, he lost himself in reports on superstars.D. When Lily was considering how to solve a problem, she came up with a good idea.55. 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 Hatter56. Which character in Alice in Wonderland wants others to obey his or her orders in every situation?A. Alice B. The March Hare C. The Hatter D. The Queen of Hearts.57. 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 novelsCWilliam Shakespeare is one of the greatest writers in English literature. His plays can be divided into three categories: histories, tragedies(悲剧) and comedies. Shakespeare wrote eighteen comedies, although two were lost. These comedies usually have happy endings and a light-hearted tone and style that are quite different from his tragedies.All of Shakespeares comedies have five acts and the most important or exciting point always takes place in the third act. The hero does not appear until after other characters have talked about him. Shakespeare had some themes that he usually wrote about: the fight between good and bad, loves great effect on people, and the difference between first appearance and a persons true personality or face. Shakespeare also wrote his play in a certain style. For example, Shakespeare used words in such a clever and humorous way that they had more than one meaning. Some of the characters changed their appearances so that people didnt know who they were.Even though the tone is lighter in these plays. Comedies in Shakespeares day were quite different from modern-day comedies because their purpose was not to make people laugh. Shakespeares comedies are very emotional(有感染力的) and often include serious topics to think about.58. How many Shakespeares comedies can people enjoy now?A. 18. B. 16. C. 5. D. 2.59. Which word has the same meaning as the underlined word “categories” in Paragraph 1?A. types B. parts C. copies D. pages60. When does the hero in Shakespeares comedies appear?A. At the beginning of the play. B. In the middle of the play.C. Not until other characters have mentioned him. D. Near the end of the play.61. Which sentence is WRONG according to the passage?A. All Shakespeares comedies have five acts.B. Shakespeares plays are written in a certain style.C. The purpose of Shakespeares comedies is to make people laugh.D. The fight between good and bad is one of the themes Shakespeare wrote about.DIs your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair or your fridge? It is possible that they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, as the so-called “Internet of things” is developing. The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. It is reported that during his speech earlier this year, Samsung CEO(首席执行官) BK Yoon spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things. He said that five years from now,every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, whether its a washing machine or a vacuum cleaner(吸尘器). So, how do household(家用) objects that are part of Internet of things work? Well, think of a usual chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows that the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold. An Internet-connected camera, like a smart-home camera, could help people feel safer in their homes. It can recognize(识别) peoples faces, and even can see when someone passes by in the dark. Then it can send you a message on your smartphone to let you know whos there. If the person is someone you dont know, it can tell you that, too. But according to MIT Technology Review, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security(安全) systems to the Internet, there may be problems. For example, many early connected-home devices(装置) dont have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻击).In addition, it could be difficult to get these devices to work together because they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 members by late 2014. So, picture this: you walk in through the front door of your home. The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable after a long day at school. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think.62. The Samsung CEOs speech is mentioned to prove that _.A. the Internet of things will appear in our daily life soonerB. Samsung has produced the Internet of things recentlyC. Samsung products have been part of the Internet of thingsD. he spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things63. We can infer(推断)from paragraphs 3 and 4 that _. A. the chair can know whether the user feels cold or notB. a usual chair can warm up when it knows the user comes inC. an Internet-connected camera can be used to take photos in the houseD. an Internet-connected camera can be connected to the users smartphone64. According to the passage, it is mentioned that _. the temperature inside is neither too high nor too low your fridge provides the drinks for you the chair warms up if you feel cold your favourite music starts playing your washing machine starts working A. B. C. D.65. Whats the problem about the Internet of things? A. Companies which produce connected-home devices havent joined together. B. Connected-home devices may not work together and can easily get hacked. C. Companies have difficulty connecting security system to the Internet. D. These new devices are produced by different companies.第卷 （非选择题，共60分）五、词汇 (本题共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)A. 请根据括号中的中英文提示或句意，写出所缺单词，使句子通顺。 66.
