Many organisms（有机体）in our world are neither. Some of them float through the air, and some lie hidden in the ground. They do not need sunlight to survive, and if the weather becomes too cold, they can become inactive until conditions improve.What are these? They are called fungi(菌类), and you see them almost every day. Many kinds of fungi seem disgusting, such as the green black things that appear on the food which are left too long in the refrigerator. But other kinds are not so bad. For example, the yeast that is used to make bread and mushrooms (蘑菇) are both fungi.What makes fungi different from plants and animals? An animal can move around by itself. Fungi get around too, but they dont have feet, wings, or tails. They have to wait for wind or some other outside force to move them. Plants are different from fungi because they have chlorophyll（叶绿素）. It helps them make food from the energy in sunlight. Fungi do not have chlorophyll.Some fungi are bad, while others are not. Some fungi cause diseases, such as athletes foot, which makes feet uncomfortable. Other kinds of fungi can be used to make medicines, which have saved many lives.Fungi clean up more than wounds, though. They are the worlds first recyclers. Without fungi, our world would be a mess. Since fungi cannot make their own food as plants do, they must get their food elsewhere. Many fungi get their food from dead plants. They break them down and turn them into soil. The fungi get a meal, and the world gets a housecleaning. 23. What does the underlined word “disgusting”most probably mean? A. strong B. unpleasant C. active D. small24. According to the passage, _. A. fungi can move everywhere by themselves B. fungi are unable to survive in cold conditions C. some fungi can make food from the energy in sunlight. D. some fungi are useful to humans and the environment25. Where can you most probably find this passage? A. In a social report. B. In a biology book. C. In a geography magazine. D. In a farming book.BWhen was the last time you saw three men running down a forest trail（小径）in the rain wearing flip-flops（拖鞋）？Thats what my friend Brandon, Josh and I were doing last autumn. We were looking for a waterfall（瀑布）.We didnt have much time to get to the waterfall and back, so we were running. We were wearing flip-flops to prevent our shoes getting dirty.It was raining, but lightly. It kept us cool as we climbed over giant stones and through a shallow（浅旳）stream. We followed red arrows（箭头）and crossed that stream several times, walking on toward the promised waterfall. Time was not on our side, however, and we were forced to turn around. As we started back, we looked at the shallow stream we had just crossed. Where did this rushing river come from? That was when we realized a flash flood was around!来In the few minutes the water rose at a fast speed. Now there were no big stones to be seen-only what looked like lumps（隆起）covered with rushing water. We had no choice but to move our way back carefully in the rushing water -in flip-flops. We had crossed the stream not once or twice, but six times in search of a waterfall that we never even reached!With most of the crossings, we needed each others help if we didnt want to be washed away by water. Wet all over, we felt relaxed after we made the last crossing.My dad always told me to keep off a river when travelling in the rain. Josh said as we hurried back down the path.Why didnt you tell us that earlier? I laughed.Would it have made a difference? came the reply.He had a point.26.

We can infer（推断）from the passage that the writer and his friends_. A. were crazy about outdoor activities B. made full preparations before the trip C. crossed rushing water easily in the end D. had much experience in travelling in the rainCWhile it is common for restaurant owners to connect with their customers, a restaurant owner in the U.S. is taking it to a whole new level. Tim Harries gives out free hugs（拥抱）to every customer at the end of each meal.The atmosphere （气氛）at his restaurant“Tims Place”is so positive(积极旳)that customers often call it the Worlds friendliest restaurant”. 。Tims Hug”is in fact an item on the menu described as a love”treat. Tims hugs are doubly special because of everything he has achieved. The 26一yearold is probably the only Down syndrome sufferer(唐氏综合症患者)in the U.S. to own a restaurant，but he has several other things to be proud of- hes a skillful special Olympian, an excellent sailor, and all experienced fisherman. He was also chosen as Homecoming King and Student of the Year in high school!

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（令人困惑旳）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 dont 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.32. 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.
