[句式结构] nor放于句首引起部分倒装。
◆[规律总结]
(1)否定词nor位于句首,应该用部分倒装。形式为:“nor+be动词/助动词/情态动词+主语+动词+其他”,表示前面的否定情况也适用于另一人或物。可用neither替换nor;
(2)若表示前句中的肯定情况也适用于另一人或物,要用“so+be动词/情态动词/助动词+主语”,表示“……也是这样,也是如此”;
(3)当前句中既有肯定的情况也有否定的情况,两种不同的情况也适用于另一人或物时,则用以下句式:It is the same with sb./sth.或So it is with sb./sth.。
◆[经典佳句]
Tom isn't good at maths, neither/nor am I.
汤姆十分不擅长数学,我也是。
Tom is very clever and studies very hard.It is the same with Mary.
汤姆十分聪明且努力学习,玛丽也一样。
◆[名师点津] 如果后一句只是单纯地重复前一句的意思,此时主谓不倒装,句型为:so+主语+be动词/助动词/情态动词。
—She speaks French very well.
—So she does.
——她法语说得很好。
——她说得确实很好。
◆[误区规避] 语法填空:
He's not completed the task,nor ________ I.
(可能失误)填did
(正确表达)填have
(错误分析) 此处he's是he has的缩写,后边的并列句时态应与前句一致;第一人称的现在完成时应用have done,故填have。

[句式结构] then放于句首引起完全倒装。
◆[规律总结]
(1)当表语(形容词、分词、副词或介词短语)放在句首,且主语是名词时,句子常用完全倒装结构。句式为:表语+系动词+主语(必须是名词)。
(2)表示方向、地点和时间的副词或介词短语位于句首时,若主语是名词而不是代词,则用完全倒装。

Ⅰ.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 (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 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!
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
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述的是由著名小说《爱丽丝梦游仙境》中的一些句子演变成的英语俗语。
1.C [推理判断题。根据第六段中的“However, usually we use this expression to mean we get interested in something to the point of distraction (分神).”可知,人们通常用To fall down the rabbit hole表达对一些分神的东西感兴趣。C项(当吉姆在网上找体育书籍时,他迷上了许多有关超级明星的报道)符合文意,故选C。]
2.D [推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“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.”可知,to be mad as a March Hare与mad as a Hatter都表示完全疯狂的意思,故选D。]
3.D [细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“A woman who is called ‘a Queen of Hearts’ likes controlling others and always tries to control everything and everyone around her.”可知,小说中的Queen of Hearts想要控制别人,并且总是控制她周围的每个人、每件事,故选D。]
4.C [写作意图题。根据全文内容可知,本文讲述的是由《爱丽丝梦游仙境》中的一些句子变成的英语俗语,由此可推出,作者是想探索一下著名小说中的一些英文表达方式,故选C。]
B
The TV series,The Longest Day in Chang'an, which was shown on Chinese online platforms in 2019, became a hit soon. Since then,it has been shown on partnering streaming platforms and TV networks abroad. Some overseas websites also offered the programme to their users paying for it-the first time a Chinese series was broadcast as paid content abroad.
“I was amazed by the overseas audience's love for this show,” Cao Dun, director of The Longest Day in Chang'an,told Beijing Review. “I was worried that they wouldn't understand the complex political structure of the Tang Dynasty.But in reality, the show is prompting foreign audiences to research Tang Dynasty's history to better understand the plot.”
The unique culture in ancient China is not a barrier but a bridge to connect with foreign audiences. In the TV series,every figure is given enough space to flesh out his or her character. Telling stories of ordinary Chinese people that resonate (引起共鸣) with the audience might be the way to communicate with the world. “The success of the TV series shows that beauty is a universal language crossing borders,”he told Beijing Review.
His ambition is to distinguish Chinese dramas from the TV shows in the rest of the world. “The TV series is a step in my plan to tell Chinese stories to the world,” Cao said. “After describing the impressive beauty of the Tang Dynasty, I am looking for several plays that tell stories of today's China. I don't want to copy any country's production. Chinese dramas have to be built on our rich culture and Chinese people's everyday life,” Cao added.
5.What do we know about the TV series?
A. It was first put on overseas.
B.It can be appreciated for free.
C.It was very popular once it was shown.
D.It is about the development of the Tang Dynasty.
6.What does the underlined word “prompting” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Requiring. B.Reminding.
C.Informing. D.Encouraging.
7.What made the TV series a success?
A.Recognition of beauty.
B.Stories of ordinary people.
C.Diversity of Chinese culture.
D.Personalities of every figure.
8.What is Cao Dun's ambition?
A.To make a successful TV series.
B.To tell Chinese stories to the world.
C.To show China's different nationalities.
D.To learn the ancient political structure.
[语篇解读] 短文讲述了在中国很火的电视剧《长安十二时辰》也在国外流媒体和海外网站播放。这表明,美是一种跨越国界的通用语言。
5.C [细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The TV series,The Longest Day in Chang'an, which was shown on Chinese online platforms in 2019, became a hit soon. Since then,it has been shown on partnering streaming platforms and TV networks abroad.”可知,它一上映就很受欢迎。故选C。]
6.D [词义猜测题。根据But可知,前后文在语意上构成转折关系,前句“I was worried that they wouldn't understand the complex political structure of the Tang Dynasty.”讲外国观众可能无法理解唐朝历史,所以此处是讲这部电视剧反而鼓励了外国观众研究唐朝历史来更好地理解情节。所以prompting和encouraging词义相同。故选D。]
7.A [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The success of the TV series shows that beauty is a universal language crossing borders”可知,对美的认同使这部电视剧获得成功。故选A。]
8.B [细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“His ambition is to distinguish Chinese dramas from the TV shows in the rest of the world. ‘The TV series is a step in my plan to tell Chinese stories to the world,’ Cao said.”可知,曹盾的抱负是向世界讲述中国故事。故选B。]

He learns the 72 transformations, allowing him to transform himself into a wide variety of animals and objects.

Dear_Peter,
I'm very glad to know that you have interest in Chinese novels. There are so many famous novels written in Chinese, including classical novels and modern novels, among which I like A Dream of Red Mansions most, which is excellent beyond comparison.Based on Jia and Lin's love story, it describes a tragedy about love and the decline of a big family, exposing the social crisis.
The book is written in old Chinese, which is difficult to understand. So when you read it, you'd better get a Chinese dictionary at hand. In addition,you'd better have some background knowledge about the Qing Dynasty.
Yours,
Li_Hua
