As he waited at the light, he saw the young boy walking down the sidewalk. He watched him cross the street and enter a park through two huge gates.

He pulled over and on an impulse (冲动之下) got out and began to follow the boy down the fence line. John was on t

31、nk, and of having nothing to do; once or twice she had looked into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, “and what is the use of a book,” thought Alice, “without pictures or conversation?”So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the
32、hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain (雏菊花环) would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a white rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.There was nothing so very remarkable in that; but when the rabbit actually
33、took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after
34、it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the bush.The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very
35、deep well.Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her and to wonder what was going to happen next. First, she tried to look down and make out what she was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything; then she looked at the
36、sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled with cupboards and book-shelves; here and there she saw maps and pictures hung upon hooks. She took down a jar from one of the shelves as she passed; it was labeled “ORANGE MARMALADE”, but to her great disappointment it was empty; she did not like
37、 to drop the jar for fear of killing somebody, so managed to put it into one of the cupboards as she fell past it.Down, down, down. Would the fall never come to an end? “I wonder how many miles Ive fallen by this time?” she said aloud. “I must be getting somewhere near tile, centre of the earth. Let
38、 me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think. I wonder if I shall fall right through the earth! How funny itll seem to come out among the people that walk with their heads downward! The Antipathies, I think-but I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know. Please, M
39、a am, is this New Zealand or Australia? And what an ignorant little girl shell think me for asking! No, itll never do to ask: perhaps I shall see it written up somewhere.” Down, down, down. There was nothing else to do, when suddenly, thump! thump! Down she came upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves,
40、 and the fall was over.46. What kind of books do you think will interest Alice most?A. Books that her sister was reading.B. Books without pictures or conversation.C. Books about white rabbits.D.

She fell upon some sticks and dry leaves.A. d-c-a-b-e B. d-a-c-b-e C. a-b-e-c-d D. d-c-a-e-b49. From the passage, we can see Alice is a(n) _

44、agraphs 3 and 4 D. Paragraphs 4 and 5CHaving driven almost thirty hours, I decided to stay in South Carolina for a few days. The next morning, I purchased a three-day fishing license and bait (饵料) before heading to the lake.Opening my trunk, I carefully took out my fishing gear (用具), put it on the l
45、akes edge, baited up and began to fish.“Good morning,” said someone, walking up from behind me.Turning around, I saw a game warden (猎场管理员) with a clip-board.“Good morning,” I said, nodding my head. “Catch any fish?” he asked.“No sir, just relaxing and killing time.”“Can I see your fishing license?”I
46、 handed him the license I had purchased at the bait shop.“Can I see your drivers license, too?” he requested.“I see the name on the drivers license is spelled Kiser and the name on the fishing license is Kaiser,” said the warden.“The gentleman at the bait shop must have written it wrong,” I told him
47、.“Well, Im afraid Ill have to write you up for fishing with an invalid license and take away your fishing gear.”“Youve got to be kidding,” I responded, with a surprised look on my face.Sure enough I was written up and my fishing gear taken away. I was told that I would have to pay a fine and that my
48、 stuff would be sold at auction.I stood there almost in tears as he drove away. Those rods and reels were very special to me. I had used them over twenty years, fishing with my friends, who were now all dead.After returning home in Georgia, I telephoned South Carolina trying to explain the situation
49、, but no one would listen. I was told that the Department of Fish and Game had a “zero tolerance” for fishing and hunting violations. Finally, in tears I paid the fine and gave up the fight.Nine months later, I received a letter. I had no idea who it was from as there was no return address. On a pla
50、in piece of notebook paper was written “Auction for the Department of Fish and Game held this Saturday at 11:00 am.”On Saturday, at six in the morning I headed to South Carolina. By ten oclock I had found the auction. There were numerous boats and piles upon piles of fishing equipment. All at once,
51、there it wasmy wonderful stuff all thrown in a pile as if it was worth nothing.As the auction began I took my seat. In my wallet was twenty-seven dollars. For more than an hour I waited for my property to be brought to the auction block.“We have three rods and reels here. I guess we will sell this a
52、s a unit,” said the auctioneer.“50 dollars,” yelled someone in the crowd.“51 dollars,” yelled another man.I rose from my seat and walked out of the auction.“66 dollars,” I heard as the bidding continued.“100 dollars,” came another bid. The auction became silent.“100 dollars once, 100 dollars twice,
53、100 dollars three times. Sold for 100 dollars,” went the auctioneer.I walked to my truck, got in and just sat there. Suddenly I heard something hit the side of my truck. Turning around, I saw the back of a man putting my three rods and reels into my truck. It was the same game warden who wrote me th
54、e ticket almost a year ago!As I got out of the truck he stuck out his hand and said, “I wasnt wrong. Its the law that is wrong.”I shook his hand, thanked him and drove away. I cried as I crossed the South Carolina Georgia state line.51. The game warden asked the writer for his driving license to _.
