We did everything together piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding. ‎ When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special time—like my wedding and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address Unknown.” I had no idea how to find Linda. ‎ Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill. ‎ One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman — Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, but I still wrote to her. ‎ She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother. ”Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years, laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!‎ ‎1.

His parents had tried everything—tutors, cards, special learning centers—in short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic (天主教的) school. ‎ After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn’t kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening. ‎ Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity. She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns (修女)?”‎ Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, “No.”‎ ‎“Well then,” she asked again. “WHAT was it?”‎ Little Tommy looked at her and said, “Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed (钉) to the plus sign (加号), I knew they weren’t joking. ”‎ ‎5.

Altogether over two hundred people were homeless after the storm. ‎ A farmer, Mr. Tan, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour. ‎ ‎“I was eating with my wife and children,” he said, “When we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing.

How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage. ‎ Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save you life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not lifts. ‎ From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible, learn ‎ the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury. ‎ The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average person, hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building. ‎ Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leaked(渗) into the room.‎ On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement(水泥) might end in injury. Bushes(灌木丛) and grass can help to break a fall. ‎ ‎13. It is important to _______. ‎ A. put out the fire in the burning house B. know the ways to escape the fire ‎ C. jump off a burning house D. keep the door closed ‎ ‎14. It is possible to escape through the windows _______.‎ A. if there are some bushes on the ground  B. if you are strong enough C. if you live on a lower floor D. If you have a long rope. ‎ ‎15. Open the window so that _______ if the building is on fire. ‎ A. you can get fresh air B. you can call for help C. you can easily jump off D. you can be seen first 二．七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多余选项。请将该题答案涂到答题卡71—75对应位置。‎ How to Avoid an Internet Addiction While it may seem like everyone surfs the web these days, there is fine line between casually checking your social media pages and having a full blown Internet addiction.
