Alice in Wonderland

         Chapter 2

Alice was not hurt, so she jumped to her feet in a moment. She looked up, and found the White Rabbit was still in front. She was close behind it when she turned the corner, but she no longer saw the Rabbit. She found herself in a long, low hall.

There were doors all around the hall, but they were all locked (锁上). Alice walked sadly down the middle, wondering how she got out again.

Suddenly, she came upon a little three-legged table. There was nothing on it but a tiny (极小的) golden key, and Alice’s first idea was that this might belong to one of the doors of the hall.

But, alas! Either the locks were too large, or the key was too small. However, on the second time round, she came upon a low curtain (帘子) she had not noticed before and behind it was a little door. She tried the little golden key in the lock, and she was pleased to find it fitted!

26．What is the hall where Alice stayed like?

A．Long and low.         B．Big and high.          C．Wide and low.         D．Big and wide.

27．What did Alice want to do when she got to the hall?

A．She wanted to know how to get some food.  B．She wanted to know where her sister was.

C．She wanted to find out how to get out again. D．She wanted to meet the Rabbit.

28．Where did Alice find the tiny golden key?

29．How did Alice feel when the gold key fitted into a lock?

A．Tired.                    B．Shocked.                C．Happy.                   D．Interested.

Bob Bear was the richest animal in the forest but he was very mean. He never shared. When his poorer neighbours came to his house and asked for food, he shouted. “Go away! It’s MY food!”

One day Sally Squirrel had a birthday party. Bob was not invited but he saw Sally’s friends give her a lot of nice presents. “I’d like some presents,” thought Bob, so he decided to have a party. He went to a shop. “I need some party food,” he told the shopkeeper. “How much is a large brunch of bananas?”

“It’s twenty—five dollars fifty.” she said. Bob was surprised. “That’s too expensive. How much is a bottle of honey?”

“A bottle of honey is twenty—eight dollars thirty,” said the shopkeeper. “A bottle of honey is more expensive.” Bob held up his paw. “I want the cheapest food,” he said. The shopkeeper gave him two black bananas and a small packet of cookies. “Good! These are cheap.” Bob smiled. “They only cost eleven dollars thirty.”

At the party Bob opened his presents——a bag of apples, five cans of orange juice. “These are not birthday presents!” he shouted angrily.

“We know you don’t like sharing so we were afraid there wouldn’t be enough food. That’s why we brought food,” said Fred Fox. “We are happy to share all we have with you because we want to be friends.” Bob’s face went red. “I’m sorry,” he said. “Let’s share this lovely food together, my friends.” From then on, Bob was never mean again.

Once, a circle (圆环) broke. It missed a small part of itself. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around and looked for its missing piece. But, because it wasn’t complete, it could roll (滚动) only very slowly. It smelled the flowers along the way. It talked with the worms (虫子). It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different parts, but none of them fit. It left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching.

One day, the circle found a perfect piece. It was so happy. It could be whole, with nothing missing. It fixed itself and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, but too fast to notice the flowers or to talk to the worms. The circle missed the flowers and the worms. It left its perfect piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.

Perhaps we are more whole when we are missing something. In some ways, a man who has everything is a poor man. He will never know what it feels like to dream of something better. He will never know the experience of finding something he has always wanted and never had.

34．At first, the circle rolled very slowly because it ________.

A．wanted to smell the flowers

B．was too small to roll quickly

C．got broken and wasn’t whole anymore

35．With the perfect piece on, the circle found that ________.

A．it rolled more slowly

B．the worms didn’t want to talk to it

C．it couldn’t enjoy life any more

36．Which is the right order according to the passage?

① The circle talked to some worms.

② It rolled too fast to see the flowers.

③ A circle got broken one day.

④ It began to look for its missing part.

A．③④①②                          B．③①④②                          C．④①②③

37．What can we learn from the story?

A．Being broken is worse than being perfect.

B．Being broken is another kind of beauty.

C．There is nothing perfect in the world.

D

Once, there lived a hen who had five chicks. She also had three friends: a duck, a cat and a dog. They all lived happily together.

One day, the hen found a wheat seed (小麦种子). “Hey, who wants to help me plant this seed?” she asked.

“Not me.” the duck said. “Nor can I.” the cat said. “I’m afraid not.” the dog said.

“All right. I will do it by myself.” the hen said. She planted the seed and watered it. Wow! It grew quickly and yielded lots of wheat. “Hi! Who wants to help me harvest the wheat?” the hen asked.

“Not me.” the duck said. “Nor can I.” the cat said. “I’m afraid not. “the dog said.

“Fine. I will do it by myself.” the hen said. She worked all day long. By evening, she had two big bags full of wheat.

“Hello friends! Who wants to help me grind (磨碎) this wheat?” she asked. Once again, all three of her friends refused.

“I see that I will have to grind this by myself. I will make flour (面粉) and bake bread!”she said. The next day she baked delicious bread.

“Hello! Who would like to eat some bread with me? “she asked.

“I want to!” the duck said. “Me too! “the cat said. “I’d like some as well.” the dog said.

“None of you can have a bite! I worked hard in the field and you were at home.” the hen replied.

38．The hen’s friends refused to help her plant the seed, probably because ________.

四、阅读回答问题

阅读下文并回答问题。

There’s a story about the California gold rush （淘金热） that tells of two brothers who sold all they had and went prospecting（勘探）for gold. They discovered a vein of gold（矿石脉）, bought it, and continued to get down to the serious business of getting the gold out of the mine. All they hoped was to make lots of money and change their lives.

All went well at first, but then a strange thing happened. The vein of gold disappeared! They tried hard but they couldn’t find any gold.

Finally, they gave up sadly. They sold their tools and rights to dig the mine（矿山）for a few hundred dollars, and took the train back home. Later a man named Tim who bought the gold mine ordered an engineer to examine（检查）the mine carefully. The engineer advised him to continue digging in the same place where the two brothers had left off. To his surprise, the new owner found gold at three feet deeper of the same place. With a little more patience, the two brothers would have been millionaires themselves.

It is also true for us. Sometimes we can’t make it just because we are not patient enough. As a result, even though we are so close to success, we just missed the opportunity. Do you need to dig three feet farther in your life?

42．Did the two brothers go on digging the mine when they found the vein of gold disappeared?

______________________________________________________________________________

43．Why did the two brothers sell all they had and go prospecting for gold?

______________________________________________________________________________

44．How did the new owner find the gold finally?

45．Looking back at your own life, do you think it’s wise to give up when you can’t see any hope? Why or why not?

参考答案

一、单项选择

1．C

【详解】句意：——看这位演员在舞台上倒立着弹吉他。是吉姆吗？ ——一定是他。他告诉过我他会给我们惊喜。

考查情态动词表推测。mustn’t禁止，不得；can’t不可能，不会；must一定；may也许。根据“He told me he would surprise us.”可知，吉姆曾说过他会这样做，所以表演者就是吉姆的可能性是非常大的。故选C。

2．C

【详解】句意：有些人认为，如果他们有问题，他们可能会保守秘密。

考查连词辨析。though尽管；so所以；if如果；until直到。根据“Some people think they may keep them to themselves…they have problems.”可知前后是条件关系，表示“如果有问题，可能会保守秘密”，故选C。

…………
