三、阅读理解
（A）
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 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 him, and that is where her adventures begin. As she runs after the rabbit, she falls down the rabbit hole into
Wonderland. The expression 25 can mean to enter an unexpected 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 have long been
thought to behave excitedly in March, which is their mating (交配) season. Scientifically, this may not be true.
But 26 means that someone is totally mad, or crazy. The expression 27 also means to be completely
crazy and is more common. But don’t tell the March Hare. He must be green with envy!
25-27.
Please choose the best expression for each blank.
A. to chase a white rabbit B. to be mad as a March hare
C. to be mad as a hatter D. to fall down the rabbit hole3
(B)
We interviewed singer Maisie Peters after she gave a private show at Atlantic Records in Manhattan, New
York. We had a lot of fun chatting with her – we even got to sing with her!
Q: At what age did you start singing and playing the guitar, and do you play other instruments?
A: I think I started singing probably when I was 8 in a singing club. When I started playing the guitar, I was
12 or 13 years old. Actually, I played the guitar at first. I played it during my whole elementary school period, but
I was so bad. My twin sister at that time played the clarinet. We were both equally awful. So my poor parents had
to listen to terrible noises. Then I gave that up.
Q: How do you remember the words to your songs?
A: I sing them a lot. I guess when you do anything a lot, it’s just easier to remember. You just have to
practice all the time. Before I go on stage, I sing all the words under my breath. I still forget words sometimes,
which is embarrassing. But you get over it and it’s fine.
Q: What advice would you give to someone who wants to be a singer?
A: If you’re going to be a singer, put yourself out there as much as you can. It’s pretty easy to do that
nowadays with social media and YouTube. And that’s how I got started. And when you’re my age … you feel like
you’ve got the best stuff to present. You can start a career on your own nowadays. You don’t need anyone to help
you with that. So just put yourself out there.
28. What instrument does Maisie Peters play? .
A. Guitar. B. Flute. C. Clarinet. D. Piano.
29. According to Peters, singing songs under her breath .
A. can help her remember the words to her songs every time
B. helps her feel less embarrassed when she makes mistakes
C. helps her prepare herself before going on stage
D. successfully makes her get over all difficulties
30. Which of the following is a suggestion from Peters? .
A. It is important to find someone to help you start your career.
B. You can start your career online on your own.
C. Young people should start to work as early as possible.
D. It is easy to become famous.
(C)
I remember my first fire. I was the second volunteer on the scene, so there was a pretty good chance I was
going to get in.
When I found the captain, he was having a conversation with the homeowner in a hurry. She was surely
having one of the worst days of her life. Here it was, the middle of the night, she was standing outside in the
pouring rain, under an umbrella, without shoes, while her house was in fire.
The other volunteer who had arrived just before me -- let's call him Lex Luther -- came first and was asked to
go inside and save the homeowner's dog.
Well, I was next. The captain waved me over. He said, "Bezos, I need you to go into the house. I need you to
go upstairs, and I need you to get this woman a pair of shoes." So, not exactly what I was hoping for, I went -- up
the stairs, down the hall, past the 'real' fire fighters, who were pretty much done putting out the fire at this
point, into the master bedroom to get a pair of shoes.4
Now I know what you're thinking, but I'm no hero. A few weeks later, the department received a letter from
the homeowner thanking us for the valiant effort displayed in saving her home. The act of kindness she noted
above all others: someone had even got her a pair of shoes.
So as I look around this room at people who either have achieved, or are on their way to
achieving, remarkable levels of success, I would offer this reminder: don't wait. Don't wait until you make your
first million to make a difference in somebody's life. If you have something to give, give it now.
Not every day is going to offer us a chance to save somebody's life, but every day offers us an opportunity to
affect one. So get in the game. Save the shoes.
31.Who was Bezos? .
A. a volunteer B. the captain C. a fire fighter D. the homeowner
32.Why does the writer say “but I'm no hero”? Because .
A. he didn’t get the shoes successfully B. the captain put out the fire successfully
C. the first volunteer was a hero D. he thought the fire fighters did a good job
33.Which of the following sayings is similar to “Save the shoes”? .
A. Do as the Romans do B. Do it now C. Do you would be done by D. Do well and have well
(D)
A jigsaw is a power-driven saw (锯) used to cut sharp curves (急弯曲线) in pieces of wood.
A jigsaw is also a puzzle. It is made up of a large number of small, interlocking pieces. Each piece has a
small part of a picture on it. A completed puzzle produces a picture or design.
Jigsaw puzzles were first created by producing a picture on a flat, rectangular (矩形) piece of wood, then
cutting that picture into small pieces with a jigsaw – that’s where the name comes from!
Pictures found on jigsaw puzzles mainly include scenes from nature, city life and similar designs. Castles,
mountains and water scenes are traditional subjects. However, any kind of picture can be used to make a jigsaw
puzzle. Cartoon-styles are popular. There are companies that create puzzles from personal photographs.
Completed puzzles can also be glued onto a piece of wood to make a wall hanging.
The first jigsaw puzzles were designed as geography teaching tools by John Spilsbury in 1767. His “jigsaw”
was a map puzzle. It was a hand-painted map of England on a piece of wood. It was a successful teaching method.
He went on to make over thirty other map puzzles. The pieces were not interlocking.
With the invention of power tools more than a century later, jigsaw puzzles with fully interlocking pieces
came into being. The jigsaw machine could cut sharp curves. Then the name jigsaw puzzles came into being.
Jigsaw puzzles became very popular in the United States in the early 1930s, when people had difficulty in finding
jobs and making money.
Today puzzles of all sizes are a standard item in toy shops and supermarkets. However, they usually come in
300-piece, 500-piece, 750-piece, and 1,000-piece sizes. The largest one even has 24,000 pieces.
Some jigsaws are quite tricky. Try doing one with all pieces without pictures on it. A few puzzles are made
double-sided, so they can be solved from either side. This increases the difficulty, because the puzzle solver
cannot be certain which way up each piece goes. Some jigsaws do not have straight edges (边缘). The edge pieces
could be any interlocking piece. Solving these jigsaws requires more effort than doing those straight-edged ones.
Others designedly have a piece or two missing. Jigsaws are no longer educational toys but are used for
entertainment or a hobby.5
34. What can we learn about jigsaw puzzles?
A. Cartoon-style pictures are traditional subjects of jigsaw puzzles.
B. People can choose any photo they like to use in a jigsaw puzzle.
C. The smallest jigsaw puzzle in the world has three hundred pieces.
D. There are many small, interlocking pieces in all the jigsaw puzzles.
35. Which of the following can most probably be made by John Spilsbury?
36. Which of the following jigsaws is the most difficult to solve?
A. A double-sided jigsaw with straight edges.
B. A one-sided jigsaw with straight edges.
C. A double-sided jigsaw with curved edges.
D. A one-sided jigsaw with curved edges.
37. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A. Puzzles are cheap entertainment that can be replayed or passed on to others.
B. By 1767, students began to learn geography by putting the puzzles back together.
C. Spilsbury continued to build more puzzles with different area maps and sell them.
D. Early wooden puzzles had pictures printed to the front and lines for cutting on the back.

六、阅读填空
Our smart phones are amazing, but our connections can be so slow. The future in science-fiction movies
seems so close, yet so far away. 5G technology makes that future look easily achievable. What is 5G? It’s the
latest generation of cellular (蜂窝状的) network technology. It is faster and more stable (稳定的) than 4G. This
powerful wireless network will change the way we live.
Transportation
With the introduction of 5G and smart technology, traffic lights, buses and even cars begin to communicate
with each other. We will be able to check traffic flow so that traffic jams (拥堵) may soon become a thing of the
past. Moreover, it’s reported there is a good possibility of seeing driverless cars on our roads. With the help of
5G, these cars will be able to react to sudden changes in their environment at once, such as a dog running across
the road.
Medical treatment
With 5G networking, all the people can have the chance to use top medical resources. Before treatment, 5G
will support video calls with doctors and provide advice for those who can’t visit a hospital at once. After being
treated, wearable tech will send information to doctors in no time, allowing hospitals to monitor the patients from
their homes. It also allows surgeons to perform operations remotely, using robots. In March, 2019, China
completed its first 5G-based human brain surgery between a doctor and a patient located more than 4,000
kilometers away. Five months later, robots guided by Beijing doctors completed a test operation in three different
locations at the same time!
It seems that 5G will make our life more exciting and convenient wherever we use it.
Title: 5G Makes a Great Difference
Explanation of 5G It is an __52__ generation wireless system, which is faster and more stable than 4G.
Some ways that 5G
will change the
world
Transportation Being able to check traffic flow will announce the 53 of
traffic jams.
Higher speed and better stability will make it 54 to
operate driverless cars smoothly and safely.
Medical
treatment
With 5G networking, the doctors and nurses can come to
the patients.
Operations can be done by robots guided by doctors 55
else.
Conclusion 5G technology makes it easier for people to 56 a more exciting and convenient
future.7
