24、   Fighting coronavirus is an experience that will forever be remembered. Now that I've recovered, I'm sharing my story because I want people to take this situation seriously. To turn things around, we have to stay home. We have to fight this battle together — and we have to win.

I think it started on the night my boyfriend and I went to celebrate his sister-in-law's birthday. We didn't think anything of it at the time, of course. The news was just beginning to report the spread of COVID-19 in America. I was still living my life just as I always had — riding the train to work each day, working long hours, and going out with friends and family.

My boyfriend, Luis, began showing symptoms on Monday, but we thought it was a typical cold. Then it took me down. It began with a low fever. I felt really weak. At this point, coronavirus had begun to take over New York. On Tuesday, the headache started. It was so intense that I had to lie down. By the end of the week, everything hurt. Luis and I went to nearby urgent care. After being examined, I chose to be tested, but I didn't receive my results until a week later. The doctor sent me home with advice to take Tylenol (泰诺, 感冒药) but said there was nothing more he could do for me. On the way home, we bought whatever medicine we could find, for the store had run out of Tylenol.

That Saturday evening was the worst. I had a high fever and I couldn't sleep. I was sweating a lot, and my knees, hips, and back were in terrible pain. I lost my sense of taste and smell. Then I developed stomach pain.

As I lay there, I was terrified that there wouldn't be enough doctors, nurses, or beds to help me. The thought of being alone, and possibly dying alone, in the hospital, weighed heavily on my thoughts, and I feared the uncertainty.

My fever finally broke the following Wednesday. It was such a relief. Two days later, the health department called me with the news that I'd tested positive for COVID-19.

Looking back, I really wish that people had taken this virus more seriously earlier. I wish people understood how severe this is. I'm wearing a mask in public from now on. I'm not taking chances. This was really painful, and we got lucky.

【1】What did the author do to fight coronavirus?

A.She stayed at home and got rest.

B.She fought alone in the hospital.

C.She lived her life just as she always had.

D.She took Tylenol as the doctor suggested.

【2】How did the author feel about her recovery?

A.Surprised. B.Lucky. C.Hopeful. D.Proud.

【3】Why does the author tell us her story?

A.To record her unforgettable experience.

B.To teach people how to fight coronavirus.

C.To celebrate her victory over coronavirus.

D.To call on people to take the virus seriously.

25、

Xi Jiang Yue  by Xin Qiji

A bright moon shining on faraway bough (树枝)

Frightened the magpie (喜鹊),

A soft wind in the deep of the night

Made the cicadas (蝉) sing.

Among the pleasant smell of ripening (成熟的) rice

There was talk of a harvest year,

I heard frogs, here, there, everywhere.

Seven, eight stars shining in faraway sky,

A few drops of rain on this side of the hill.

Passing the stream bridge and turning

The old thatch (茅草的) store, suddenly came into my view,

By the side of the communal (公社的) woods.

26、If you have a brother or sister, you already know you are different from each other. You live together in the same house and have the same parents, but you have different personalities.

Why is this? One possible reason is the way your parents treat you. First-born children receive all the attention from their parents. Most families have twice as many photos of a first-born than any other child. Parents usually give first-born more responsibility and depend on them to take care of younger brothers and sisters. As a result, first-borns are often responsible, hard-working, and jealous. They often want to do well at school and work. There are more first-born American Presidents, for example, George Bush, George Washington, and Lyndon Baines Johnson-than second or last-born children.

When a second child arrives, parents are more relaxed.  The second child has to compete with the first-born for the parents’ attention and love. Their children often choose different sports and hobbies to do well at school and work, but have to be creative to get their family’s attention. They are often friendly and cool. Many famous talk-show hosts were born last.

【1】The writer thinks that the second children are often  ______ .

A. outgoing and jealous B. cool and friendly

C. hard-working and serious D. creative and responsible

【2】The underlined word “jealous” means ______  in the passage.

A. 友好的  B. 冷静的   C. 快乐的  D. 嫉妒的

【3】 ______ is usually the happiest in the family according to the passage.

A. The eldest child. B. The second child.

C. The youngest child. D. The father.

【4】We can learn from the passage that   .

A. the second child is very similar to the first-born child

B. brothers and sisters usually have the same personalities

C. it’s easy for the second child to get his or her parents’ attention

D. there are more first-born successful people than second or last-born people

【5】The passage is mainly about  ______ .

A. birth order and personalities

B. the personalities of the second child in a family

C. the personalities of the eldest child in a family

D. the personalities of the youngest child in a family

27、   Since China’s first homemade sci-fi movie “The Wandering Earth” opened throughout the United States last week, the movie has amazed the whole world with its outstanding imagination, winning applause and encouragement for Chinese filmmakers.

“The Wandering Earth” is based on a short story with the same name by Liu Cixin, China’s top Chinese science-fiction writer and the first in China to win the prestigious Hugo Award. It takes place in a faraway future when the dying sun threatens to destroy all life on earth. The United World Government made a surprising plan to physically move the entire planet to become a safer, distant star.

“The Wandering Earth” has become the winner of the Chinese box office during the week-long Spring Festival holiday that ended on Sunday, taking in a huge 1.94 billion yuan (288 million U.S. dollars) in just six days. The success of the film in the box office is a clear indication of the growing popularity of homegrown sci-fi in China.

“The movie actually shows lots of differences between American culture (Hollywood movie) and Chinese culture. For example, I'll accept running away in spaceships in Hollywood movies when Earth is no longer good for human. But in Chinese culture, we will never leave our home. We will try our best and bring everyone together. This is what we saw in the movie: we put 10,000 engines on Earth and run away together,” wrote a Chinese audience in his post.

In fact, this movie has made Liu Cixin, the author of the book “The Wondering Earth “which together with other two books makes a complete series, under the spotlight again these days. Liu Cixin, born in June 1963, is a representative of the new generation of Chinese science fiction authors and recognized as a leading voice in Chinese science fiction. His works have powerful atmosphere and brilliant imagination. Liu Cixin’s stories successfully connect the hard truth of human society together with cool science. He has created a special Chinese style of science fiction. That’s why the movie attracts us.

【1】What is the meaning of the success of this film?

A.It encourages the audiences to read sci-fi books.

B.It makes the Hollywood film makers to work harder.

C.It will give great courage to Chinese filmmakers in sci-fi movie.

D.It earns a lot of money.

【2】What is the most special thing in this sci-fi movie?

A.It is the most popular sci-fi movie in the world now.

B.It gives audience a great cultural shock compared to American sci-fi movies.

C.It made its author become famous.

D.It tells the truth of the faraway future.

【3】Which of the followings is NOT Liu Cixin’s writing style?

A.He draws a fantastic and totally new world in his book.

B.His works are full of strong feelings.
