二、完形填空（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分）

It was a cold afternoon. I was training a soccer team of first-graders. It was the day of Our first practice.

I told the kids to sit on a long bench in the grass. Any time I train a  1  team, I spend a few minutes helping them get to know one another. Each kid needs to say his own name and the names of all the kids sitting to the left of him.

A few minutes later, I decided to put the kids to a test. Alex was  2  to start at the end of the bench, go up to each kid, say that kid's name and then shake his right hand.

Alex was doing well, and he went down the row-Dylan, Micah, David and Ben---until he reached Ben. He said Ben's name and reached out, his right hand, but Ben just  3  there, with his right hand  4  in his jacket.

"Ben, why don't you let Alex shake your hand?" I asked. Ben stood up, and said, "But I don't have that hand." he pulled his jacket away from his right shoulder.

Ben's arm ran from his right shoulder but his arm  5  at the elbow (胳膊肘). No forearm (前臂), no hand, no fingers!

I was very  6  and couldn't think of anything to say,  7  the little kids were unwilling to hide their curiosity (好奇心).

"Look at that," said Alex.

"Hey, what happened to your arm?" another asked.

"Does it hurt?"

Ben took off his jacket to show the kids what they all wanted to see. He explained to them that he had always been that  8  ，and it was nothing  9  . What he meant was that he wanted to be treated like everybody else.

三、阅读理解（本大题共12小题，每小题2分，共24分）

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(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.

1. 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 programme 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.

2. 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

3. 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

4. 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
