Alice in Wonderland
Chapter 2
Alice was not hurt, so she jumped to her feet in a moment. She looked up, and found the White Rabbit was still in front. She was close behind it when she turned the corner, but she no longer saw the Rabbit. She found herself in a long, low hall.
There were doors all around the hall, but they were all locked (锁上). Alice walked sadly down the middle, wondering how she got out again.
Suddenly, she came upon a little three-legged table. There was nothing on it but a tiny (极小的) golden key, and Alice’s first idea was that this might belong to one of the doors of the hall.
But, alas! Either the locks were too large, or the key was too small. However, on the second time round, she came upon a low curtain (帘子) she had not noticed before and behind it was a little door. She tried the little golden key in the lock, and she was pleased to find it fitted!
【1】The hall where Alice stayed is ______.
A.long and low B.big and high C.wide and low D.big and wide
【2】What did Alice want to do when she got to the hall?

C.She wanted to find out how to get out again. D.She wanted to meet the Rabbit.
【3】Where did Alice find the tiny golden key?
A. B.
C.
D.
【4】How did Alice feel when the gold key fitted into a lock?

B.Some of the doors around the hall were locked.
C.Alice noticed the little door as soon as she entered the hall.
D.The passage is from Alice in Wonderland.
22、Last year, my husband and I decided to visit New Zealand. We wanted to tour the country, but we both hate long car journeys. Our travel agent advised a 13-day coach trip(长途客车旅行).
