I am starting an unforgettable journey in my life with dear brother 10 .2二、完形填空（共20小题，每小题2分，共40分）Linda Evans was my best friend—like the sister I never had. 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 times—like my wedding （婚礼） 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 （地址） Unknown". I had no idea how to find Linda.Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share （分享） 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, we 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!3 A.at the age of 13B.before she got marriedC.after they moved to new homesD.before the writer's family moved awayThe writer went to piano lessons with Linda Evans .（1）A.got marriedB.had little time to do soC.didn't like writing lettersD.could see each other on special timeThey didn't often write to each other because they .（2）A.B.C.D.There was an empty place in the writer's heart because she .was in troubledidn't know Linda's addressreceived the card that she sentdidn't have a friend like Linda to share her happiness or sadness（3）A.B.C.D.The writer was happy when she .read the newspaperheard Linda's voice on the phonemet a young woman who looked a lot like Lindawrote to the woman whose last name was Wagman（4）A.for about 40 yearsB.for about 27 years C since they got married D since the writer's family moved awayThey haven't kept in touch .（5）三、阅读理解Before I even started school, people felt that I was not going to amount to much . At the age of four, I started speech less because I could not speak well enough to be understood.The first grade was a struggle. I not only had difficulty speaking, but also felt nervous about the fact that I was expected to learn to read and I just couldn't do it. My parents grew more and more frustrated. They bought books and offered great rewards if I could read one of them from start to finish to them. Well, with my speech problems and now my reading problems, I did not like to do reading and so refused to do it whenever possible.The second grade was not much better. It was in the second grade that the teacher decided that I needed special education. I remember the days of taking the physical exams.However, after all that, they decided that I did not qualify for special education.It was in the third grade that a new school was built close to where I lived. I remember going there with my parents and helping to get the school ready so that we could transfer （转学）. It was a happy day that we started school at Vandalia. However, things did not get better as my parents expected.It was now time for the fifth grade. Mrs. Wakefield was my teacher, and if ever there was a teacher that deserved a gold star, it was her. She did not make me feel upset. Instead, she helped me in so many ways and built my self-confidence so that I actually did believe that I could do something special. And that is just what I did.For the past 22 years, I have been a fifth grade teacher. Because of Mrs. Wakefield's influence in my life, I am now encouraging students who have had difficulties in their lives to believe that they can overcome and become someone. I have won a large number of awards but I know that all of them belong to one fifth grade teacher who believed in me and challenged me to be all that I could be.I still have a class picture of her with her fifth grade class hanging on the wall of my office,encouraging other teachers to reach out to their students.A.get rich.B.get successful.C.get recovered.D.become healthy.What does the underlined phrase "amount to much " mean in Paragraph 1?（1）A.B.C.D.From the second paragraph we know that .the writer's parents lost confidence in the writer completelythe writer's speech problems didn't stop him from readingthe writer's parents tried many things to encourage himthe writer couldn't improve his speech ability from reading（2）A.B.C.D.What can we infer from the passage?The writer became a successful teacher.The new school was far away from where they lived.The teachers in the new school were gold stars.The writer himself wanted to transfer to a new school.（3）A.In Grade Two. B.In Grade Three. C.In Grade Four. D.In Grade Five.In which grade did the turning point in the writer's life appear?（4）What can we learn from the passage?（5）C.D.Confidence is very important in one's life.Different teaching methods work the same.Do you want to become better at making small talk with new people? Do you want to become better at networking with others? Nothing will improve your networking ability and your ability to make a successful conversation with other people rather than your curiosity （好奇心）about them.When you are curious about other people, you will want to discover some of the interesting ways that they are similar to you. When you are curious about them, you'll also be interested in discovering the ways in which they think differently and live differently from you.When you have curiosity about others, you will be much less self-conscious and your conversations will work a lot better. Instead of worrying yourself, "What can I say next that won't sound stupid? ", you will be focused on learning more about the other person.Making small talk with strangers can be tactical （策略的）. We've all heard the advice that we should pick something out of our immediate environment and use that as a main point to start our small talk with the other person.It's true that this can be a great starting point for a conversation. However, when you focus too much on discussing things like the weather in your city, you can bring the conversation to a painful end very quickly. The other person will consider that you are trying to make a conversation, but that you have no interest in really getting to know him or her.How can you keep small talk from becoming boring?One way is to watch the other person for clues （线索）. The clue will tell you what is really interesting to them. When you get these clues, use them to start making the conversation a bit more about their life, their opinions and their experiences.After you have had a couple of minutes to break the ice, try looking for ways to make the conversation a little bit more personal. Ask the other person for his or her opinion about something that is a bit more personal but not extremely so. The first few minutes of talking to someone new will not be the best time to ask the other person his or her opinion on religious （宗教的）or political （政治的）matters. However, he or she might be happy to discuss his or her favorite team or musical band.5 A.B.C.D.In Paragraph 1, what does the writer mainly want to tell us?Curiosity can help us make a good talk.It's hard to make a talk with new people.Curiosity helps us know new people quickly.It's hard to remake a successful talk with others.（1）A.Self-centered. B.Self-controlled. C.Serious. D.Nervous.What does the underlined word "self-conscious " in Paragraph 3 probably mean?（2）A.While having a conversation, what should we do?We should think about what won't sound stupid.（3）D.We should discuss things like the weather in the city.A.B.C.D.Which one of the following sentenced is True according to the passage?We can make any topic like religious with strangers if we want to get to know them.Focusing much on weather topic can help us make a good conversation with others.We can make good conversation with others if we talk about their life, opinions, andexperiences.Everyone might be happy to discuss his or her political matters at the first fewminutes of talking.（4）A.B.C.D.What is the best title for the passage?The way of starting small talk.Improving our small talk with curiosity.The importance of small talk in our life.Improving our relationship through small talk.（5）What problems do the teenagers probably have?
