On my way home a car ran over me and cut off my arms because it rushed so fast. Several days later when I woke up at the hospital, I realized I had to spend the rest of my life without arms. How sad I felt at that lime! Even I was full of fears, but slowly I knew I had to face the fact and get over it. I couldn't get my arms back even though I cried every day.However, it's easier saying than doing. It took me nearly half a year to get out of the sadness completely. I got so much from my past story.From then on, I could treat my life with a normal mind. But in our daily life, I often see my classmates get worried about little things: They get a bad grade on a test; their bus comes late; they don't have a mobile phone, but others have, and so on. But I only enjoy life. I was lucky to realize from an accident. It is not a good idea to keep thinking about what you don't have. We should always think of what we have. So why are so many people unhappy? Someone may say, "My whole life would improve if I have a new car." But when you get the new car and what happens? For a whole week you are walking on air. Then you go right back to being unhappy.Happiness depends on what we have. It's in our heart. It's a state of mind. Even though you own the whole world, you may still feel unhappy. Happiness comes from mastering the art of appreciating（感激）and taking pleasure in what you really have.23. According to the story, the writer lost his________.A. Feet       B. legs        C. arms       D. fingers24..Half a year after the accident, the writer________.A. got his arms back       B. treated his life normallyC. cried every day         D. didn't get out of the sadness25.In paragraph 4, the writer shows opinion to the readers by________.A. listing numbers          B. giving examplesC. Comparing              D. telling stories26.What is the structure（结构）of the passage?A.   B.     C.   D.（D）Many expressions that we use in English come from novels. Today we will look at some of them from Lewis Carroll's 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（人物）.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 wrong 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 go into 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）are thought to act 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.27. 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 program as usual.C. When Jim was looking for a sport book online, he lost himself in many report on super stars.D. When Lily was thinking about how to solve a math problem, she came up with a good idea.28 According to the passage, the expression to be mad as a March HareA. 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 Hatter29. 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.30.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.explain some English expressions from a famous novelD.explain why many expressions in English come from novels三、任务型阅读（本题有5小题，每小题1分，共计5分）  很多人在谈话中喜欢引用名人的话，恰当地使用名言能使你的表达增色不少，请仔细阅读方框中的名言，然后将它们与第1—5题中的话语配对，其中有一项多余。Sarah:Don’t care too much about what they have said,Tony._____________Stephen: Thanks for helping me, Amy.___________I’m proud of having friend like you.Mr Lee: Teachers should tell the kids not only what to do, but also how to do that._____________Alan:Don’t be upset, Jeff._____________The great success is just in front of you.Sally: I don’t want to hear the tour guide introduce the paintings in the gallery._____________Don’t you think so?
