I watched my Dad close the door. It was ...

    I watched my Dad close the door. It was a really cold night in dead silence and I was all alone at home. My parents left because they had been running fever for several days and they were showing other symptoms of COVID-19. It was the 9th day of Wuhan lockdown starting on January 23.

The virus we now know as COVID-19 is somehow fearsome partly because it does not discriminate (区别对待) in choosing who it infects. But that is only partly true. All the evidence suggest that it can be merciless to older people, so I was wondering whether my parents would make it and whether we would ever take family photos, which my parents and I had talked about during the Spring Festival holiday..

On their second day away my parents called and asked me how I was. We talked using FaceTime, and the moment I saw mom lying there with an oxygen mask and my dad could not talk without breathing heavily, I realized that I had to live on my own.

But two weeks later, I came across a fever and had to go into quarantine (隔离) and be put under medical observations for 14 days. Fortunately, my illness turned out to be due to a bacterial infections but not COVID-19.

Everything there was hectic, there seemed to be a shortage of medical staff and materials were in short supply. Even though the doctors and nurses were covered from head to toe, I could see how tired they were when I looked into their bloodshot eyes.

They would work a whole day preparing for new patients and seemed incredibly apologetic for not having everything that was needed. Most of the patients were really understanding, but of course there were those who were not, and complained loudly, but all the doctors and nurses tried their best to deal with it in a calming way. And they are all from other cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou, and some of them are just three or four years older than me.

When the quarantine was over, every patient effusively thanked the workers for what they had done, but the answer they received was exactly the same: “That’s what we’re here for.”

1.When did the author’s parents leave her for the hospital?

A.January 23. B.January 30.

C.January 31. D.February 1.

2.What does the underlined phrase “make it” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.Succeed. B.Join in.

C.Arrive. D.Survive.

3.What can we learn according to the passage?

A.Both the author and her parents got infected with COVID-19.

B.The majority of the patients understood the doctors and nurses.

C.The patients apologized to the doctors and nurses because they were too tired.

D.The author didn’t get infected with COVID-19 because the virus can only infect the older.

4.What may the author think of the medical workers according to the passage?

A.Admirable. B.Outgoing.

C.Impatient. D.Thankful.

 

1.C 2.D 3.B 4.A 【解析】 这是一篇记叙文。作者叙述和父母被隔离时所看到的事实,她觉得医务工作人员值得敬佩。 1.细节理解题。根据第一段中My parents left because they had been running fever for several days and they were showing other symptoms of COVID-19. It was the 9th day of Wuhan lockdown starting on January 23.可知,我的父母离开了,因为他们已经发烧好几天了,而且还出现了COVID-19的其他症状。这是武汉自1月23日起实施的第9天封锁。由此可知,作者的父母是1月31日离开她去医院的。故选C。 2.词句猜测题。根据第二段划线部分前的All the evidence suggest that it can be merciless to older people,(所有的证据都表明它对老年人很残忍)和划线部分后的whether we would ever take family photos, which my parents and I had talked about during the Spring Festival holiday.(我们是否会拍全家福,这是我父母和我在春节期间讨论过的)可知,我想知道我的父母是否能成功。也就是是否能“幸存”于这次疫情。所以划线部分的意思是“幸存”。故选D。 3.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中Most of the patients were really understanding, but of course there were those who were not, and complained loudly, but all the doctors and nurses tried their best to deal with it in a calming way.可知,大多数病人都很理解,当然也有不理解的,大声抱怨,但所有的医生和护士都尽力平静地处理。由此可知,大多数病人理解医生和护士。故选B。 4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中When the quarantine was over, every patient effusively thanked the workers for what they had done, but the answer they received was exactly the same: “That’s what we’re here for.”可知,隔离结束后,每个病人都热情地感谢工作人员所做的一切,但他们得到的回答却是完全一样的:“这就是我们来这里的目的。”由此可知,作者觉得医务人员是“令人敬佩的”。故选A。

    If you're looking to fully experience Africa's breathtaking scenery, and have an eye for adventure, then there's only one place to be. Here, inside Africa picks four of the best hikes from across the continent.

1.Kilimanjaro

Make it to the top of Tanzania's 5,895-meter Kilimanjaro, and you'll be standing at Africa's highest point. The mountain is Africa's most-visited hiking destination, attracting tens of thousands of tourists and adventures every year.

You don't have to a technical climber to climb Mount Kilimanjaro; you just need not be pretty physically fit. There are six routes to choose from difficulty, scenery and success. No special equipment

2.Atlas mountains

The High Atlas is an impressive mountainous range in central Morocco that hosts North Africa's highest peak. Mount Toubkal, at 4,165 meters. There's a variety of routes to follow during your climb but inexperienced climbers should note that the hike through the mountain's challenging zones is quite demanding.

3.Mount Kenya

A long-extinct volcano. Mount Kenya is Africa's second-highest peak, at 5,199 meters.

Lying just south of the equator, the mountain's deep valleys and diverse wildlife will guarantee you wonderful scenery and a fantastic hiking experience.

The climb, however, to the mountain's steep ice-capped peaks is quite challenging, making it the most technical, probably, in that East African area.

4.Mount Meru

Mount Meru may forever exist in the shadow of its neighbor, Kilimanjaro, but Tanzania's second-highest mountain (4,565 meters) has its own devotees.

It's less known, but Mount Meru is for the true enthusiast who wants to experience what very few people actually do.

Mount Meru is often used by mountaineers to accustom themselves before trying to conquer Kilimanjaro, or by those wanting a hike with the local Massai.

1.What do we know about Kilimanjaro?

A. It's comparatively easy to climb.

B. It's Africa's second highest mountain.

After school today, I took a walk in the park, depressing and down. I have made considerable efforts win the talent contest, but I only finished fourth. Just when I was crying, a boy in glasses walked by. He noticed me and came over. He played me a piece of Beethoven’s symphony with his mobile phone. Beside, he said Beethoven wrote it as his hearing grew worse. Hearing his word, I was no longer in tears. I came to realize that if we put all our efforts into that we loved, we could create great things no matter what obstacles were in the front of us. I was true thankful for their encouragement.

Yours,
