One cloudy day, Joe and his son, Joey, who was six, were polishing off sandwiches at a wildlife refuge. The father planned for the two of them to spend the day canoeing (划独木舟) in the huge swamp.

Joe had never ventured into the muddy waters before, which were famous for alligators (鳄鱼). He had researched what to do if they encountered one—just in case—bang the paddle against the boat to scare it off.

Joe was at the canoe rental counter, less than 6m from the water’s edge, when he heard a splash and a scream. Joey had slipped on long and soft grass at the edge of the water and fallen into the water. When Joe whipped around, he saw an alligator which was estimated to be at least 2.4m long and close to 90kg was about to attack.

Time seemed to stop as Joe ran toward his son and into the water, which was almost a meter deep. As Joey moved violently and screamed, Joe wrapped his left arm across the boy’s chest and began pulling him back toward the bank. With his right hand grabbing a paddle, Joe tried to scare off the alligator as hard as he could and it was like punching bricks. But the alligator didn’t even make a tiny step backward.

4 . 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Kelly was driving through rural Alabama with her five-year-old son, Rocky Lyons. He was asleep on the front seat of their pickup truck, with his feet resting on her lap.

As Kelly drove carefully down the winding two-lane country road, she turned onto a narrow bridge. As she did, the truck hit a large hole and slid off the road, and the right front wheel got stuck in a deep track. Fearing the truck would tip over, she attempted to jerk (急拉) it back up onto the road by pressing hard on the gas pedal and spinning the steering wheel to the left. But Rocky’s foot got caught between her leg and the steering wheel and she lost control of the pickup truck.

The truck flipped over and over down a 20-foot narrow valley. When it hit bottom, Rocky woke up. “What happened, Mama?” he asked. “Our wheels are pointing toward the sky.”

Kelly was blinded by blood. The gear shift (变速杆) had jammed into her face, ripping it open from lip to forehead. Her gums were torn out, her cheeks pulverized (粉状的), her shoulders crushed. With one broken rib sticking out of her body, she was pinned against the crushed door.

“I’ll get you out, Mama,” announced Rocky, who had miraculously escaped injury. He crawled out from under Kelly, slid through the open window and tried to pull his mother out. But she didn’t move.

“Just let me sleep,” begged Kelly, who was drifting in and out of consciousness.

“No, Mama,” Rocky insisted. “You can’t go to sleep.”

Rocky wriggled back into the truck and managed to push Kelly out of the wreckage. He then told her he’d climb up to the road and stop a car to get help. Fearing that no one would be able to see her little boy in the dark, Kelly refused to let him go alone. Instead they slowly crept up the embankment (路堤), with Rocky using his thin 40-pound frame to push his 104-pound mother.

7 . The reopening of an Asian American-owned bookstore in Manhattan's Chinatown following a January fire has received a warm welcome back from its supporters.

Yu &. Me Books, which is regarded as the first female-owned Asian American bookshop in New York City, has raised more than $369,000 for repairs since a tragic fire on January 4. It reopened on Wednesday. "We are so excited to welcome you all back to our Yu &. Me Books home," the store announced on Instagram. "We can't wait to shed tears, laugh loudly and open our hearts with all of you who have made us feel at home."

The fire in an apartment above the bookstore on Mulberry Street killed one of the building's residents. Smoke and water damage also devastated Yu & Me Books, destroying almost all its inventory and equipment, according to a GoFundMe campaign that store owner Lucy Yu set up to make up for the costs.

During the restoration and renovation (翻新) of the original bookstore, the business operated from a location within The Market Line, an underground marketplace on the Lower East Side, and several pop-up shops (临时店铺) in the city.

"It was a bookstore I always wanted to visit, and I'm so happy that they were able to reopen," Charlotte Leinbach, a teacher for New York City's Education Department said. Leinbach hadn't been to the bookstore before the fire, but she had heard quite a bit about its fate. She bought two books, the second and third in the series Before the Coffee Gets Cold.

"It's hard to find a lot of books written in Japanese, and then translated into English," she said. "The design of the bookstore is really nice, and the layout is great. I am glad that they also sell used books. I love buying new books because it's fresh and it's nice, but it's always nice to see people in the community giving their books back and reselling and just passing them on." She said she will continue to support the women-run small businesses that focus on people and authors of color.

"I actually came on the day of the opening, but there were too many people, and it was too crowded, so I just haven't had a chance to look at it," Liam Li, another Asian American, said. "This place is unique. It's in Chinatown. As Asians live in New York City, I feel this offers the most space for the community. I understand like a minority in this society, it is not easy to have a store like this," she added.

1. Which word can replace the underlined one "inventory" in Paragraph 2？

A．Curtains.

B．Switches.

C．Goods.

D．Chairs.

2. How did Lucy Yu get the money to make up for the losses?

A．By applying to the government for money.

B．By getting money from an insurance company.

C．By raising money from her friends and relatives.

D．By collecting money from a fund on the Internet.

3. What can we infer about Charlotte Leinbach from the text?

A．She often gave a hand to the store owner before the fire.

B．She sang high praise for the arrangement of the store.

C．She prefers to buy used books rather than new ones.

D．She translates books as her part-time job.

4. Which can serve as the best title for the news report?

A．Chinatown bookstore's reopening welcomed

B．Smoke and water damage destroy Chinatown bookstore

C．Yu &. Me Books-first female-owned Asian American bookshop in NYC

D．Chinatown bookstore in New York City means a lot to Asian Americans

10 . 语法填空

A fire     1    (break) out in the Henderson Tower, starting from the 8th floor and     2    (spread) quickly through the tower block on Sunday night.     3     has been confirmed that 4 people are dead and dozens of people are injured, 5 of     4     are in a critical condition. The fire was started by a     5    (drop) cigarette end on a carpet of the 8th floor and it is     6    (current)being investigated further. 

News reports on     7     same events usually contain different or even contradictory information, because journalists decide on different     8    (priority), which would affect how they report an event. So facing such     9    (fact) differences, do not rush to the conclusion that one of the news reports gives false information. Checking different sources enables us     10    (draw) a more informed conclusion. 

In a word, when we read news reports, we should be critical news readers.
