一、完形填空(每小题1分,满分15分)
Lily had been trying to create the best gift for Dad's coming birthday by herself. She wanted it to be a 1 present that couldn't be bought at a store or ordered online.
One day, Dad took Lily and her little brother, Tim, to the supermarket. "Daddy!" Tim appeared and shouted, 2 a cereal(麦片) box in the air, "It has a dragon inside! And it's delicious and good for us!"
When they got home, Tim couldn't 3 to take the box of cereal upstairs to his room. But just after a while, Lily could hear Tim shouting loudly. "No! No!" When she 4 into her brother's room, she felt a crunch(嘎吱声) under her feet. It was 5 that Tim dumped(倾倒) all cereal out of the box to look for a toy dragon.
"They 6! No dragon. Just a picture on the box." It sounded like he was going to cry.
Though Lily was very angry with him, she said 7, "Let's see what the box says."
"But I don't know how to read," Tim said in a(n) 8 voice.
His words made Lily remember that Tim's teacher sent him easy-to-read books and required him to learn to read last school year. Dad tried to teach him, but it was really a 9 for Dad because Tim wasn't interested in books. At the 10 of these, she had a good idea about the present for Dad.
Lily decided to work with Tim, 11 a dragon story by themselves and having Tim read for Dad. She couldn't wait to share her idea with Tim. 12, he shook his head. Lily realized that Tim didn't believe in himself, so she encouraged him to have a 13 and promised that she would try her best to help him. Finally, Tim agreed. In the following days, they worked hard together. Soon, a new dragon story was 14. Then, Lily taught him to read and Tim ended up reading out the whole story.
On Dad's birthday, Lily announced, "Here is a present from both of us! A dragon story written by us!" Then Tim read the whole story fluently(流利地). "This is the best birthday present I have ever 15!" Dad said excitedly, holding both children in his arms.
