Many expressions that we use in American English come from novels．Today we will look at some of them from Lewis Carroll's famous novel"Alice in Wonderlan"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 don't 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．

32．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 programmed as usual．

C．When Jim was looking for a sport book online，he lost himself in many report on superstars．

D．When Lily was thinking about how to solve a math problem，she came up with a good idea．

33．According to the passage，the expression to be mad as a March Hare　　．

A．describes how hares behave in March

B．shows hares'characteristics in a scientific way

C．is used more often than the expression mad as a Hatter．

D．has the same meaning as the expression mad as a Hatter

34．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．

35．The writer mainly wants to　　 in the passage．

A．introduce a famous novel and its language style

B．introduce a famous writer Lewis Carroll and his novels

C．explore some English expressions from a famous novel

D．explain why many expressions in English come from novels．

When was the last time you saw three men running down a forest trail（小径）in the rain wearing flipflops（拖鞋）？That's what my friend Brandon，Josh and I were doing last autumn．We were looking for a waterfall（瀑布）．We didn't have much time to get to the waterfall and back，so we were running．We were wearing flip﹣flops to prevent our shoes getting dirty．

It was raining，but lightly．It kept us cool as we climbed over giant stones and through a shallow（浅的）stream．We followed red arrows（箭头）and crossed that stream several times，walking on toward the promised waterfall．Time was not on our side，howevr，and we were forced to turn around．As we started back，we looked at the shallow stream we had just crossed．Where did this rushing river come from？That was when we realized a flash flood was around!

In the few minutes the water rose at a fast speed．Now there were no big stones tobe seen﹣only what looked like lumps（隆起）covered with rushing water．We had no choice but to move our way back carefully in the rushing water﹣in flip﹣flops．We had crossed the stream not once or twice，but six times in search of a waterfall that we never even reached!

With most of the crossings，we needed each other's help if we didn't want to be washed away by water．Wet all over，we felt relaxed after we made the last crossing．

"My dad always told me to keep off a river when travelling in the rain．"Josh said as we hurried back down the path．

"Why didn't you tell us that earlier？"I laughed．

"Would it have made a difference？"came the reply．

He had a point．

26．Why were there no big stones to be seen in the stream when they came back？　　

A．The big stones were moved away by someone else．

B．They were runningtoo fast to notice the big stones．

C．The big stones were covered with rushing water．

D．The big stones were washed away by rushing water．

27．Why didn't they find the waterfall in the end？　　

A．Because they were short of time．

B．Because they were wearing flip﹣flops．

C．Because Josh kept warning thm not to go any further．

D．Because the flood prevented them from going forward．

28．We can infer（推断）from the passage that the writer and his friends　　．

Every living thing on Earth is either a plant or an animal，right？Wrong!Many organisms（有机体）in our world are neither．Some of them float through the air，and some lie hidden in the ground．They do not need sunlight to survive，and if the weather becomes too cold，they can become inactive until conditions improve．

What are these？They are called fungi（菌类），and you see them almost every day．Many kinds of fungi seem disgusting，such as the green black things that appear on the food which are left too long in the refrigerator．But other kinds are not so bad．For example，the yeast that is used to make bread and mushrooms （蘑菇） are both fungi．

What makes fungi different from plants and animals？An animal can move around by itself．Fungi get around too，but they don't have feet，wings，or tails．They have to wait for wind or some other outside force to move them．Plants are different from fungi because they have chlorophyll（叶绿素）．It helps them make food from the energy in sunlight．Fungi do not have chlorophyll．

Some fungi are bad，while others are not．Some fungi cause diseases，such as athlete's foot，which makes feet uncomfortable．Other kinds of fungi can be used to make medicies，which have saved many lives．

Fungi clean up more than wounds，though．They are the world's first recyclers．Without fungi，our world would be a mess．Since fungi cannot make their own food as plants do，they must get their food elsewhere．Many fungi get their food from dead plants．They break them down and turn them into soil．The fungi get a meal，and the world gets a housecleaning．

23．What does the underlined word"disgusting"most probably mean？　　

A．strong

B．unpleasant

C．active

D．small

24．According to the passage，　　．

A．fungi can move everywhere by themselves

B．fungi are unable to survive in cold conditions

C．some fungi can make food from the energy in sunlight．

D．some fungi are useful to humans and the environment

25．Where can you most probably find this passage？　　

A．In a social report．

It was last January， when I'd just finished a charity（慈善） and was on the train back home， that I put down my phone and started writing thank﹣you notes to people who had helped，

When I got off the train， I felt amazingly good． The next day，I wrote more thank﹣you and the same feeling of happiness hit me again． I suddenly had the idea： Why not keep on doing this for every day of the year？

To keep on task， I decided to pick out a different theme for each month． January was charity．February would be neighbors， I decided， And I thought of a number of names right away： the owner of our local bookstore， who let me and my little son in before the store opened and offered to play his favorite songs； our babysitter， who dropped off a bag of old board games for our kids to play， …

While writing the notes， I realized how often I had spent my time on the phone moving from app to app， appreciating（欣赏） other people's lives． Writing thank﹣you notes allowed me the time to do something different， paying more attention to my own life．

Thank you． We miss you．

Love，

Gina

I was happy to receive a note back from her． Julie replied，"I don't think I've ever received such a touching letter before， I' m going through a hard time right now， and this helps．"

On December 31，I wrote my last card ﹣ to Jake， my husband，and our two kids．And I took a picture of us， so I could remember the feeling welling up inside me． Gratitude．
