I had what's considered a mild(温和的)case, but this virus is cruel. Now that I've recovered,I'm sharing my story because I want people to take this situation seriously. My boyfriend and I have been trying to trace our steps back to where we first came into contact with coronavirus,and we think it was the night we went out to celebrate his sister-in-law's 40th birthday in early March.We went to a Mexican restaurant on Long Island that Friday night, and we shared lots of laughs and food. 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,so it wasn't exactly at the forefront of my mind.Looking back now,I think that must have been the start of it all.My boyfriend,Luis,began showing symptoms on Monday,but we assumed it was a typical cold.He works from home,so we figured it would just blow over.He had body aches and a minor fever for five days,but it didn't seem a cause for concern.Then it took me down. My symptoms began on Monday,March 16.It had been a week since Luis had been sick.It all began with a low fever,about 99 to 100 degrees.I felt really weak,but I still went to work.By the day's end,I told my boss I had to leave.At this point,coronavirus had begun to take over New York,so I was told to work from home.On Tuesday,the headache started.It was so intense that I had to lie down-it was too difficult to keep my head up. By the end of the week,I knew something was off.This wasn't what a typical illness felt like. Everything hurt.Luis and I decided it was time I seek medical help.My fever was only 100.6 degrees,but it felt like my skin was being pulled in opposite directions.My knees,hands,and even my earlobes hurt.. We went to nearby urgent care,where I filled out paperwork and waited for the doctor.After examining me,the doctor said he was certain I would test positive for coronavirus and that I'd contracted it from Luis. That Saturday evening was the absolute worst.I didn't know how much worse I was going to get,and I feared the uncertainty of it all. My fever finally broke the following.Wednesday.I.went to bed that night,and the next morning I awoke to a perfect 98.6-degree temperature that remained consistent.It was such a relief.Two days later,the health department called me with the news that I'd tested positive for COVID-19. By then,I was feeling mostly back to myself again,except for a lingering(继续存留） dry cough. 4.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean? A.The news of COVID-19 was unknown to the author. B.The author didn't take the spread of COVID-19 seriously. C.The author didn't suffer from a low fever at the beginning. D.The news of COVID-19 was just like that of a typical cold. 5 .In which case did the author ask for a leave? A.After her symptoms began. B.Once Luis had body aches. C.Before the virus took her down. D.When she could hardly sit up. 6 .What indicates the turning point of the author's illness? A.The positive test result. B.A lingering dry cough. C.A temperature return. D.The concern for herself. C My father died when I was four years old.He was only 27 and had been working as an assistant city lawyer in Reno,Nevada,for two years.I only mention that last part because it meant he wasn't entitled to the state employees 'pension,so my mom didn't get any survivor's benefits. She was 28,pregnant with my younger sister,and unemployed.She'd been forced out of her job as a speech therapist.In the early 1970s,the majority of U.S.school districts forced pregnant women to take unpaid leave,or just fired them when their"condition"became obvious.Even today, women still aren't equal to men in these 16 ways. I don't have a lot of specific memories from that time,but I do remember two moments from these terrible months very clearly.One was my mother telling me that my father had died.I wept, understanding that this meant we could no longer be with him,but I wondered if maybe we could phone him."By long-distance,"I suggested.When my mom finally shook her head no,I knew something no child should ever know.Anything can happen. The other thing I remember happened shortly after my sister was born.While she nursed,I was tight at my mother's side."We'll be okay,"my mom said."I can work."It didn't matter that I had the only the vaguest conception of what"work”was...something parents did while kids were at preschool.I'd been hopelessly sinking and,magically,a floatie appeared. Three months after my sister was born,a speech therapist's position in the local school district opened,and my mother got the job.Somehow,that spring,we moved out of my father's childhood bedroom--which my mom,sister,and I had been sharing at my paternal grandparents home since my dad had died-and into our own little house.The next fall,I started kindergarten,walking to a neighborhood school with a small group of people,just like a normal kid. By that fall,my mom was not only working full-time during the day,but also taking classes in the evening,so she could qualify for a higher salary with her school district,and working extra jobs. My mom working 80+hours a week wasn't easy or pleasant.My sister and I were tossed(扔）from grandparents to friends' moms to babysitters to corners of rooms where our mother was teaching. Our house was a mess.I got scolded by teachers for failing to return field-trip permission slips.My mother was often exhausted-and exhaustion made her no fun at best,scary at worst.But I also learned the most important lesson of my life:Work=survival. Like most girls who grew up in the 1950s,my mother never expected to have a"career."She went to college because that's what the daughters of upwardly mobile families(or those,like my mother's,hoping to become upwardly mobile)did.In other words,university campuses were where the best potential husbands were.My mom studied education because it was a major her father thought appropriate for a young lady.Though the job didn't fascinate my mom at all,she was proud that she could motivate kids to do the repetitive,boring,sometimes really hard exercises that enable them to express themselves clearly. I've been far more fortunate than my mother.I grew up in an era in which American girls were encouraged to have professional dreams-huge ones.While I was in high school,Sally Ride became the first American female astronaut,Sandra Day O'Connor became the first female U.S. Supreme Court Justice,and Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro became the first woman to be a candidate for Vice President on a major party ticket.These are just a few of the moments that changed women' s history forever. 7 .Why did the author mention her late father? A.To claim survivor's benefits for her mother. B.To express her deep love for her late father. C.To describe how hard her mom was struggling. D.To underline how unfairly her mom was treated. 8 .What was her mother like in the author's eye? A.She was qualified for a higher salary. B.She was able to solve all the problems. C.She was patient even if she felt tired. D.She was desperate to work to survive. 9. Why did the author's mother go to college? A.She developed great interest in education. B.She intended to land a better job in future. C.She was expected to enter a higher social class. D.She wanted to be qualified for different jobs. 10 .Why does the author say she has been more fortunate than her mother? A.The author had the chance of receiving good education. B.The author could have equal professional dreams as men. C.The author happened to know many successful women. D.The author managed to change women's history forever. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Are you happy with your appearance? __11_＂Almost all the girls with single-fold eyelids in our class have had double-eyelid operations,"Zeng,a Senior 2 student from Chengdu, told Xinhua.

She was outstanding. Many guys were after her, while he was average looking, shy and awkward. After the party, he invited her for coffee. She was surprised, but out of politeness, she accepted his invitation to go on a date. As they sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything and she felt uncomfortable. Suddenly, he asked the waiter," Could you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee." They stared at him with a strange look! His face turned red, but when the salt came, he put it in his coffee and drank it. Curious, she asked," Why this unusual habit?"He took a couple of sips （小口喝）and replied," When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea. I liked playing in the sea. I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood and my hometown. I miss it and my parents, who are still there." She was deeply touched. A man who can admit his homesickness must love his home and care about his family. He must be responsible. She talked too, about her faraway hometown, her childhood and her family. That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their love story. They continued to date. She found that he met all her requirements. He was tolerant, kind, warm and careful. He was such a good man and had it not been for the salt in the coffee, she'd never have really known him! The rest of the story was just like any other beautiful love story. They finally got married and lived happily together. And every time she made coffee for him, she put in some salt, the way he liked it. After 40 years, he passed away and left her a letter which said: Para.1: My dearest, please forgive me for my cheating you all the time. Do you still remember our first date in the cafe? ____________________________________________________________ Para2: She was shocked by the letter, with the feeling of being cheated. ____________________________________________________________ 【参考答案】 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分 40 分） 第二部分 第一节：（共 10 小题；每小题 3 分，满分 30 分) A: 1-3 DDC B: 4-6 BAC C:7-10 CDCB 第二节：（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 11-15:DEBGA 第三部分 英语知识运用 （共三节，满分 55 分） 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 16-20 BACBD 21-25 CDBAB 26-30 DCCBA 31-35 BACBD 第二节：短文填空：（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 1. at 2. get 3.
