On Friday afternoon when I picked Gabriel up from school, he came running towards me smiling widely. Straight away I noticed a gap on the bottom row of his teeth. I felt my heart stop for a moment. At first I thought perhaps he had had some accident, such as falling down the stairs. Gabriel wasn’t old enough to lose teeth, was he?!

Before I managed to ask him, he shouted “Mummy! Mummy! I’ve lost a tooth!” To my amazement, Gabriel appeared to be happy! ”Wow! When did that happen?” I asked. He thought for a few seconds and told me that he wasn’t sure. He remembered eating a cake at lunchtime, and later when he checked in the mirror, his tooth was gone! No pain, no stressing and no worries!

I admit I did feel a little emotional. We focused the early years on his teeth growing, but now Gabriel would lose all those baby teeth and get adult ones! I told Gabriel to write to the tooth fairy （仙子）,who would certainly visit, locate the tooth and leave a coin. Surely enough, a shiny coin was under his pillow （枕头）on Saturday. When Gabriel broke the news to Daddy, we laughed about the amount of cash kids make out of their teeth—a child usually has twenty teeth. A nice profit!

I’m proud of Gabriel. He wasn’t frightened or confused, although the missing tooth may be in his stomach, which he thought was quite funny! Later I got some knowledge about which teeth are likely to go at specific ages. Of course, the ages aren’t quite exact, but at least I know where we’re heading.

(    )30. How did the author feel at the sight of Gabriel’s tooth gap?

A. Angry.       B. Anxious.       C. Helpless.       D. Disappointed.

(    )31. When did Gabriel probably lose his tooth?

A. After school.       B. In class.

C. While falling down the stairs.       D. While having lunch.

(    )32. What can we know from paragraph 3?

A. Gabriel received 20 shiny coins.             B. The couple made fun of Gabriel.

C. The writer accepted Gabriel’s growth.         D. The fairy visited Gabriel on Friday night.

(    )33. What is the best title for the text?

A. The Missing Tooth       B. Focus Less on Loss

C. A Letter to the Tooth Fairy       D. Cash in on Teeth

         

(C)

Jess really felt very happy. When he arrived at his seat in the classroom that morning, he found an invitation on his desk. It was from several of his classmates asking him to join them on a camping trip. This was the first time he was asked to join in an out-of-school activity. Why were they asking him now? Nobody seemed to like him. In fact, he had been so lonely that he drowned his feeling with food. As a result, he had put on a lot of weight, and this gave the kids something more to make fun of him.

Cindy, who was standing near Jess when he read the invitation, went out quickly to tell the others that the trick（恶作剧）had worked. Everyone was pleased that Jess thought that was true. But there was no camping trip. The whole thing was made up.

At first, Cindy thought it was fun. But later, when Jess told her that he was going to buy a sleeping bag with his savings（积蓄）, Cindy had a second idea. She knew that Jess’s family had little money, and she hated to see him spend his savings on something he would never use. Cindy also hated to tell Jess the truth. Her close friends would be angry with her. What could she do now?

(    )34. The sentence “…he drowned his feeling with food” means “________”.

A. he ate a lot to make himself feel less lonely         B. he asked for a lot of food from his classmates

C. he brought his food to his classmates              D. he had a lot of food to put on weight

(    )35. What would happen if Cindy told Jess the truth?

A. Jess would go on the camping trip himself.         B. Jess’s family would be angry with Cindy.

C. Cindy might have trouble with her friends.         D. Jess would be thankful to his classmates.

(    )36. If Jess really bought a sleeping bag, ________.

A. everyone else would also buy one                B. it would be the best in the class

One evening, it was raining and the wind was blowing hard. An old couple came to a small hotel and wanted to stay there for the night. A young man welcomed them warmly, but said “I’m sorry! Our rooms here are all full and the hotels nearby are all full too, for there will be an important meeting held here tomorrow.”

Hearing the young man’s words, the old couple felt very disappointed, and turned around to leave.

Just as they were leaving, the young man came up to them and stopped them: “Madam and sir, if you don’t mind, you can sleep in my bedroom for a night…”

The next morning, the old couple took out lots of money to give it to the young man, but he refused to take it.

“No! You needn’t pay me any money, for I only lend my room to you.” said the young man with a smile on his face.

“You’re great, young man! It’s very kind of you. Maybe one day, I’ll build a hotel for you!” said the old man. With these words, the old couple left. The young man only laughed and went on working.

Several years later, the young man got a letter from the old couple, inviting him to go to Manhattan. The young man met the old couple in front of a five-star hotel.

四、阅读回答  （本题共5小题；每小题2分, 计10分）

阅读下面的短文, 并根据短文后的要求答题。

2020 is a new beginning, but just at the time of the Spring Festival, the Chinese people once again face the virus crisis: COVID-19(Corona Virus Disease 2019)), only 17 years since the last SARS in 2003.

Wuhan is the most dangerous city, because Wuhan has the largest number of people suffering from the disease, and the whole city has been closed. Before the disease, Wuhan used to be a dream city for many people.

The cause of the disease is that people eat wild Chinese chrysanthemum head bat civet(野生中华菊头蝙蝠果子狸). This is a serious crisis. Because in 2003, there was a disease called SARS, plus the new coronavirus(冠状病毒). Many people think that the main culprit（肇事者）is civet cat（果子狸）. But in fact, it is not. After research, it is found that civet cat is also one of the victims. SARS is because the chrysanthemum head bat is passed on to civet cat, and civet cat is passed on to us.

But is it the fault(过错) of the wild animals? No, it’s our humanity. SARS happened 17 years ago because of eating wild animals. “Forget the pain after the scar.” Today’s new coronavirus re -outbreak of the old disease, but also because of eating wild animals. Although it must have something to do with the wild animals, if we can take good care of our greedy mouths, can the disease happen?

I hope that the people of the whole country will join hands to fight against this crisis. We should believe our government. Don’t listen to all kinds of rumors(谣言）.We should stay at home as often as possible. Avoid going to crowded places and wash our hands frequently.

Love wild animals, love ourselves. Let’s learn from the most beautiful retrograders（逆行者）. Let’s all become a “hero”, unite as one, form a strong joint force, and win the war without gunpowder（硝烟）.

Come on Wuhan, come on angel in white, come on China. Wish the beauty of the world be linked with you.

44.When did SARS happen?

  ______________________________________________

45. What happened to Wuhan during the virus crisis: COVID-19 ?

  ______________________________________________

46. Why did the two diseases happen?

  ______________________________________________

47.Where should you stay as often as possible during the virus crisis: COVID-19 ?

  ______________________________________________

48.What lesson can you get from the two diseases?（请自拟一句话）
