期末必考题型之阅读理解20篇(浙江专用) (名校最新期末真题) （2022上·浙江衢州·九年级校考期末）One hot morning, when Mary was about nine years old, she woke up feeling very unhappy. She was surprised when she saw a strange servant（仆人）who stood by her. “Why are you here?” she said to the strange woman, “I will not let you stay. Send my Ayah to me!” Later, someone explained to Mary that a terrible disease was killing people. Ayah was the first of the servant to die. She heard loud cries and shouts and the sound of feet outside her door. Mary was so afraid that she hid herself in her room. She was soon completely forgotten. ▲ She walked slowly into the dining room and found the table set with food but no one there. She ate some fruit and biscuits and walked back to her room to sleep away the hours until someone would remember her again. When she woke up, the house was in silence. No one cried. No one rushed past her door. “Maybe everyone has got well.” she thought. Maybe someone would remember her and bring her food and a cool drink. But no one came. Mary soon heard something was moving. When she looked down, she saw a small, harmless snake on the floor. “How strange and quiet it is,” she told him. He moved quietly under her door as she watched. Suddenly Mary heard men’s footsteps. Low voices sounded outside her door and she got closer to hear. Mary looked at the door and it opened. The officer who looked in was so surprised at the sight of her that he jumped back. “Mercy, a child! In a place like this!” Mary said, “I am Mary Lennox. I fell asleep while everyone was sick. Why does no one come?” “It is the child no one saw,” a second officer said as men crowed around the door. “She was actually forgotten.” “Poor little kid,” an old man said, “There is nobody left.” And so Mary Lennox discovered that she was completely alone in the world, because of the terrible disease.
