答案：7. C 【点拨】根据全文内容可知，盖比特是匹诺曹的父亲。故选 C。8. A 【点拨】根据“Geppetto, though trying to look very stern, felt his eyes fill with tears and his heart soften when he saw Pinocchio so unhappy.”可知，盖比特虽然装出一副严肃的样子，可看到匹诺曹这么难过，就心软了。因此画线单词的意思是“严肃的”。故选 A。9. C 【点拨】根据“The Marionette, as soon as his hunger was appeased, started to grumble and cry that he wanted a new pair of feet.”“But I am not like other boys! I am better than all of them and I always tell the truth. I promise you, Father, that I'll learn a trade, and I'll be the comfort and staff of your old age.”“He said no more, but taking out his tools and two pieces of wood, he set to work diligently.”以及“Geppetto did not have a penny in his pocket, so he made his son a little suit with flowered paper, a pair of shoes from the bark of a tree, and a tiny cap from a bit of dough.”可知，正确的顺序是 c - d - a - b。故选 C。10. C 【点拨】根据“After a while, he returned. In his hands, he had the A - B - C book for his son, but the old coat was gone. The poor fellow was in his shirtsleeves and it was cold that day.”以及下文可知，为了满足自己的儿子，盖比特把唯一的外套也卖了，因此画线句子表达了盖比特爱他的儿子胜过爱他自己。故选 C。
