六、阅读理解。
Inside the hall, the door was shut, and the key lay on the glass stand. Poor Alice, who was about one foot high after taking some drink, found a cake on the floor. She went up and soon ate all the cake. "How strange! How tall I am!" said Alice. She looked down at her feet—they seemed so far off. In fact, she was now over nine feet high, which meant she still couldn't get through the door. She sat down, and had a good cry till there was a large pool all round her.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of feet not far off. It was the Rabbit that had come back, with a fan in his hand. Alice felt so in need of help from someone, that when he came near, she called out, "If you please, sir..." The Rabbit started as if shot, dropped the fan and ran off as fast as possible. Alice picked up the fan and as the hall was hot, she fanned herself. "Dear, dear! How strange all things are today! I do wish to get out of the hall! " she said.
Then she noticed herself in the glass—she was now not more than two feet high, and still shrinking quite fast. That was the fan! She realized this and dropped it at once, or she would shrink to the size of an ant soon. Alice was in a sad fear at the quick change. "Things are worse," said the poor girl. "I was never so small as this. How can I get out?" As she said these words, she lost her footsteps and was up to her chin in salt water—her own tears.
Just then Alice noticed a mouse swimming towards her.
"Will it be useful now to speak to this mouse? All things are so strange here. I should think maybe it can talk. At least there's no harm to try." So she swam up.

【分析】
这是一篇选自《爱丽丝梦游仙境》的阅读理解，三道题分别对应事件排序、语境补全、词义猜测三类常见阅读题型。解题时首先要明确：所有题目的答案都能从原文找到对应线索，不需要额外主观发散。做排序题时，先逐个定位每个事件在原文出现的位置，按先后顺序排列即可；做语境补全题时，要结合空格前后人物的情绪、已发生的事件排除不符合逻辑的选项；做词义猜测题时，要从划线词的前后文找提示信息，推导单词含义。
【解析】
1. 逐一对应各事件在原文的出现顺序：
a. Alice吃光蛋糕：出现在第一段前半部分，是最早发生的事件；
d. Alice哭出了一滩水池：吃完蛋糕Alice长到9英尺高，还是没法出门，坐下哭泣形成了泪池，排在a之后；
b. 兔子丢下扇子跑走：第二段兔子返回，Alice开口求助把兔子吓跑，排在d之后；
c. Alice身高不足2英尺：Alice捡起扇子扇风，之后照镜子发现自己身高不到2英尺，排在b之后；
e. 水几乎没过Alice的全身：Alice没站稳摔进自己的眼泪池，水没过她的下巴，是最后发生的事件。
最终顺序为a-d-b-c-e，对应选项A。
2. 结合空格上下文判断：Alice先后经历了吃蛋糕变大仍出不了门、哭出泪池、好不容易等来求助对象还把兔子吓跑的一系列糟心事，反复表达想要离开大厅的迫切愿望，情绪十分烦躁。逐一排除错误选项：A选项“拿他的扇子太不好了”不符合此时Alice刚捡到扇子、还没发现扇子异常的状态；B选项“我还需要一块蛋糕”和之前吃蛋糕变大更难出门的经历矛盾；C选项“我非常喜欢这只兔子”完全没有上下文支撑；只有D选项“我厌倦这个地方了”符合Alice当下的情绪逻辑。
3. 词义猜测：划线词所在句前文提到Alice之前身高超过9英尺，现在照镜子发现自己身高不超过2英尺，后文还提示“再不丢掉扇子她很快就会缩小到蚂蚁那么大”，可以直接推出shrinking的含义是“变得更小”。
