But this year, the 10th Thanksgiving Day, Stuffy was not hungry, for he had just come from a big dinner. He ate so much that he had almost no power to move. 2 he expected that gentleman would not come this year! However, he was scared to see the Old Gentleman coming.
The Old Gentleman was thin and tall, dressed all in black. He wore eyeglasses. His 3 was white and thinner than it was last year. His legs did not seem as strong as they had seemed the year before, but he moved, straight and proud, to Stuffy and toward the tradition that 4 was building.
“I am glad to see everything’s fine with you. I can give thanks on this day of thanksgiving. 5 you come with me, my man, I will provide you a dinner that will surely make your body feel as 6 as your mind,” said the gentleman. The words themselves were almost a 7 , too.
Stuffy was very 8 , but he wouldn’t refuse him, for this kind gentleman was always ready to help the poor on Thanksgiving Day though he was no longer rich. It’s the gentleman’s tradition. The Old Gentleman didn’t want to 9 his “promise” that he had kept for years.
The gentleman led Stuffy to the restaurant and to the same table where they had always gone. He sat at the table, 10 .
The turkey and all the other food were gone almost as quickly as they appeared. Stuffy saw the look of happiness on the 11 face. He continued to eat to keep it there.

5. A 设空处考查连词,用if引导一个条件状语从句。
6. B 这个故事的背景就是感恩节,主题就是be thankful,因此选用thankful。

八、阅读理解
A
David walked down the street. All he wanted to do was to play basketball with Jim. But his mother told him to return his sister's books to the library on his way to Jim's house.
In his eyes, books and summertime just don't go together. He thought he had read a lot during the school year. And he had never set foot in a public library. Today he'd just drop the books off in the outside return box, but it was locked. He had to go inside to return them.
David walked inside the building a few minutes before closing time. He put the books into the return box. After a quick drink of water and a short stop in the toilet, he'd be on his way to meet Jim. He walked out of the toilet. The library lights were turned off. He was locked—in a library.
David tried to use the telephone, but he couldn't find one. As the sun began to set, he searched for a light and found a little one on the desk. He used a pencil to write a note on a big piece of paper. It read, “I'm locked inside. Please call for help.” He put it on the front door. Surely, someone passing by would see it. He then turned his attention to the library itself.
He was surprised to discover that this place was not so bad. Rows and rows of books! When he saw a book about Michael Jordan on the desk, he picked it up. He opened the book and began to read. He felt that being locked in the library didn't seem to be such a terrible thing.

Even some main newspapers will put fake news to fool people. I heard a story about how on April Fool's Day, a piece of fake news brought panic (恐慌) to London.

I told her that I failed all of my exams and because of this, I wasn't able to graduate. She was so upset that she started to cry. I felt really bad about making her sad and tried to tell her it was just a joke. After I told her it was only an April Fool's Day's joke, she got so angry with me that she hung up the phone. I had to call her back and apologize before she would talk to me again.

David walked down the street. All he wanted to do was to play basketball with Jim. But his mother told him to return his sister's books to the library on his way to Jim's house.
In his eyes, books and summertime just don't go together. He thought he had read a lot during the school year. And he had never set foot in a public library. Today he'd just drop the books off in the outside return box, but it was locked. He had to go inside to return them.
David walked inside the building a few minutes before closing time. He put the books into the return box. After a quick drink of water and a short stop in the toilet, he'd be on his way to meet Jim. He walked out of the toilet. The library lights were turned off. He was locked—in a library.
David tried to use the telephone, but he couldn't find one. As the sun began to set, he searched for a light and found a little one on the desk. He used a pencil to write a note on a big piece of paper. It read, “I'm locked inside. Please call for help.” He put it on the front door. Surely, someone passing by would see it. He then turned his attention to the library itself.
He was surprised to discover that this place was not so bad. Rows and rows of books! When he saw a book about Michael Jordan on the desk, he picked it up. He opened the book and began to read. He felt that being locked in the library didn't seem to be such a terrible thing.

I think April Fool's Day is a very unusual holiday. On April Fool's Day, you have to watch out for practical jokes. You can't trust everything you hear on April 1st. Even some main newspapers will put fake news to fool people. I heard a story about how on April Fool's Day, a piece of fake news brought panic (恐慌) to London. A newspaper printed an article about aliens landed in England. This caused many people to be afraid and the local police were not very pleased with the newspaper.
It can be interesting to play tricks, but you'd better not to go too far. One April Fool's Day, I called my mother from the university I attended.

I had to call her back and apologize before she would talk to me again.
