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 hole 英语试题 第 4 页 （共 8 页）
B
Most high school kids go from one class to the next, never getting a break from the books. What if
kids had a chance to run a school radio station? Nathan Hill High School has a modern radio class that
gives its students that very chance.
The students play the hottest music, produce ads and run testimonials. KNHC is known for playing
up-and-down dance hits before any other station in the nation. KNHC-FM has 60, 000 listeners a week.
Tim Green, the 18-year-old music director for KNHC, says, “For me, radio is a break from the usual
school day. It is something I enjoy.”
Running a radio station is not all play. There is real work to do. The radio station stays on an exact
timetable called an hour clock. The hour clock shows the time at which music and different
announcements will be aired. The 17-year-old programme director, Shirley Smith, says, “All of that
material airs within one minute, give or take, of the time that it’s written.”
Like any other job, hosting a radio programme should have special lingo, or language, for the
students to learn. Below is a list of radio lingo used at KNHC.
28. The passage is most probably from __________.
A. a local newspaper B. a travel leaflet
C. a sports magazine D. a TV guide
29. Which kind of Radio Lingo do you think “Play inside, play for the world.” is?
A. Station I. D. B. P. S. A. C. Testimonial. D. C-Note.
30. Who of the following is the most suitable to be a director for KNHC?
A. A helpful teacher who can draw exact timetables.
B. An active designer who can produce creative ads.
C. A gentle pianist who is good at playing the classical music.
D. An energetic student who is always following the popular music.
Radio lingo
Station Identification
Example: “You’re listening to the hottest dance music
on KNHC, 89.5 FM.”
Public Service Announcement
Example: “When the buying stops, the killing can too.”
Recording of a radio listener saying why they listen to C-89
Example: “This is a Carlos Martinez, and I hear all my favourite dance songs
on Seattle’s KNHC!”
Information about a local event that sounds cool
Example: “Hey, C-89 listeners – the Maxx is playing a free concert this weekend.”

C
Ned wanted to escape (逃跑) from the Nautilus while we were in the Mediterranean. However, he
had no chance. The submarine (潜水艇) mostly stayed deep under the water.
Between Sicily and Gibraltar, I saw many shipwrecks. Some of them were very old. Others were
more recent. I thought about all the bad memories that these shipwrecks had brought to people. So many
men had died! As it surfaced, I wondered where it would go next on this strange journey.
Ned Land came to my room. “Tonight!” he said. “Tonight?” I was not ready for this. “Tonight,” he
repeated, “we are a few miles off the Spanish coast. It will be dark, and the wind is blowing in the right
direction. You agreed, Dr. Aronnax, to escape with me. Remember your promise!” I said nothing. “At
nine o’clock,” continued Ned Land, “I will go to the staircase with Conseil. You will wait in the library
for our signal.” “The sea is far from calm,” I said. “Yes, but if we don’t go tonight, we will soon be too
far from land!” I knew he was right.
At seven o’clock, I was so nervous that I felt sick. Only two hours to go! As I looked around, I saw
that Captain Nemo’s bedroom door was open. The room was empty. I saw pictures of famous liberators
like Abraham Lincoln and John Brown on the walls. Was Captain Nemo a liberator, too?
It was eight o’clock. I dressed in my waterproof clothes and boots and went to the dark library. I
waited for Ned’s signal. Just then, the engines stopped and came to rest on the ocean floor.
The library door opened, and Captain Nemo entered. He told me that we were in Vigo Bay. A
Spanish commander had burned his own ships there in 1702 to prevent the British Navy from taking a
great deal of gold they were carrying. He took me to the window. The people working on the Nautilus
were bringing the gold to the submarine. Now, I knew how Captain Nemo had become so rich.
“But of what use is all this gold to you?” I asked.
“It is of no use to me!” he replied, “but it can help people who are oppressed (受压迫的).” He
stopped. Perhaps he thought he had said too much. However, I now understood what those liberators
meant to him.
Ned Land came to my room the next morning. “We were unlucky,” he said, “the Nautilus stopped
just as we were about to escape. Perhaps we can try again tonight.” Early in the afternoon, the Nautilus
surfaced. We went onto the board, but the land was already out of sight. Escape was impossible now.
31. According to the passage, a “liberator” is a person who __________.
A. works as a national leader B. works to free others
C. works to find hidden treasure D. works in the library
32. Which of the following shows the right order of the story?
①The submarine passed many shipwrecks.
②The Nautilus moved away from Spanish coast.
③Captain Nemo knew the secret of the gold in Vigo Bay.
④Ned told Dr. Aronnax about the plan to escape.
A. ③①④② B. ①④③② C. ③①②④ D. ①④②③
33. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Captain Nemo helped people by getting gold from a Spanish commander.
B. Dr. Aronnax wasn’t willing to get away from the submarine Nautilus at all.
C. Sailing on the ocean must be dangerous and caused a large number of deaths.
D. Ned Land had got everything ready before he wanted to escape that night. 英语试题 第 6 页 （共 8 页）

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.
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?
A. B. C. D.
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. 英语试题 第 7 页 （共 8 页）

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. 英语试题 第 8 页 （共 8 页）
