Passage A根据短文内容完成短文后的思维导图，并将答案写在答题卡（纸）的相应位置。（共5分，每小题1分）

Many would agree that when we think of Christmas, we probably think of gifts, Christmas trees and Santa Claus. But behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and giving love and joy to people around us. The story in A Christmas Carol is perhaps the best example of this.

A Christmas Carol is a famous short novel written by Charles Dickens. It is about an old man named Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. He is mean and only thinks about himself. He doesn't treat others nicely. He just cares about whether he can make more money and he hates Christmas. One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge, so he was punished after he died. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn’t want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits to visit him.

That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and reminds scrooge of his happier days as a child. Then the second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see how others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the future. Scrooge sees that he is dead, but nobody cares. He is so scared that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is only the next morning-Christmas Day!

He decides to change his life and promises to be a better person. He happily celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gifts to people in need. He now treats everyone with kindness and warmth, spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And that is the true spirit of Christmas!

Passage B根据短文内容完成文后的图表，并将答案写在答题卡（纸）的相应位置。（共10分，每小题2分）（共10分，每小题2分）

In the year of 2020, the coronavirus(新冠病毒)broke out(爆发)all over the world. A lot of people suffered from(遭受……折磨)a fever or a cough. Don’t be afraid. Here is some advice to help you protect yourself.

Wash your hands. You need to wash your hands with soap and water before you eat, after you use the toilet, and after you touch animals, because your hands may carry viruses(病毒).

Cover your nose and mouth. When someone sneeze(打喷嚏)or coughs, the viruses can travel as fas as one meter through the air, so you’d better stand a proper distance while talking to someone who has a cold. And always cover your mouth and nose with a piece of paper when you sneeze or cough, and then clean your hands.

Wear a mask(口罩). Some doctors say that masks can stop the virus as much as 80%, but if you don’t wash your hands often, it’s no use wearing a mask. So it’s necessary to wear the mask in the groups of people.

Do sports often. Exercise will help make your body strong enough to resist(抵抗)the virus.

Passage C根据短文内容回答短文后边的问题，并将答案写在答题卡（纸）的相应位置。（共10分，每小题2分）

It is normal for you to see your parents every day. But for Shen Cong, a 16-year-old boy in Guangdong, the last time he saw his parents was a long time ago.

Shen Cong, who went missing more than15 years ago, was reunited with(与……重聚) his birthparents in Guangzhou on March 8, People's Daily reported.

Shen Cong is about 1.7 meters tall and very healthy. He is cheerful and likes playing basketball. “I hope my son can live a normal life like other ordinary (普通的) children in the future," Shen Junliang,  Shen Cong's father, told the media.

According to the police, in early 2005, two gang(歹徒) members broke into Shen Junliang's house and took away his 11-month-old son after tying up his wife while the father was away. The boy was later sold for 13,000yuan.

Shen Junliang and his wife quit their jobs after their son was abducted (诱拐). But they failed to find him after traveling to Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Zhongshan and other major cities in Guangdong over the years. In January, the police found Shen Cong in Meizhou, Guangdong.

Shen Cong was one of nine children who were suspected to(被怀疑是) be abducted through a woman known as "Aunt Mei" between 2003 and 2005. So far, three children, including Shen Cong, have been found.

It is estimated(估计) that 70,000 children go missing in China every year, CGTN reported. However, only a very small number- perhaps 5 percent or even less - are ever found and reunited with their families.

56. Since Shen Cong was missing, how long has he been away his home? 

57. When did Shen Cong reunite with his parents? 

58. Where was Shen Cong found at last?  

59. Are the missing children almost found finally? 

60. What do you think of  “Aunt Mei”?
