I was packed and ready to leave for my two days’ trip. My mind had been filled with work and with so many small things to deal with. As I got into the car to leave, my thoughts turned to my children. I’d been preparing for the trip for the last few days, and now I’d be away for a few days.

How to keep in touch with your kids during busy time is often a father’s problem. Men tend to focus on one thing extremely well for long periods, but this can lead to trouble. Shifting(移開(kāi)) from work to your family life isn't always the easiest thing to do. And if you don’t show your kids that you’re thinking about them, they may think that you are not.

As I started down the road, I suddenly stopped the car and turned around. I drove back to my house, found a couple of cards, and wrote a short message to each of my children. I put each in a “secret” place where I knew they’d find it.

When I called the next night, it was clear that they’d received the cards. “Daddy, I got your card,” they both said excitedly. “When did you do that?”

My heart was warmed when I heard this. It was such a small thing. But it had a big impact(影響) on my kids. It was their “proof” that I was thinking about them. And it was encouragement for me to continue to do the small things that have a big impact.

1. From the passage we can infer that the author thinks a father should ______.

A. care for his kids, no matter how busy he is

B. have a big impact on his kids

C. spend some time playing with his kids

D. stay at home as long as possible

2.Before leaving for the trip the author considered ________.

A. preparing some food for the trip

B. buying some nice gifts for his children

C. doing something to show his concern for his kids

D. telling his children to be careful at home

3.The author’s kids were excited when they answered the phone because _______.

A. their father had thought highly of them

B. they had found the cards from their father

C. they had done something good at home

D. their father told them he would be back soon

4.What does the underlined word “that” in the fourth paragraph refer to?

A. Packing luggage.

B. Reaching the hotel.

C. Writing short messages.

D. Going back home.

5.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. All for the children

B. Play with your children

C. A father and his kids

D. Show love to your kids

Fire fighting is a serous matter, knowing what to do during a fire can save people’s lives. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone else in the family, such as stairways and emergency exits, but not elevators.

From the lower floors of building, escape through windows is possible. Learn the best way to get out from a window 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 fingertips will have a drop of about 6 feet to the ground. It is about twice the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way down than to stay in a burning building.

Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed before opening the window. Otherwise, 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 have leaked into the room.

On the second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those which open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement might end in injury. Bushes and trees can help you to have a soft landing.

1.Which of the following should not be used when trying to escape from a fire?

A．Windows

B．Elevators

C．Fire exits

D．Stairways

2.How far from the ground is the second floor window?

A．a(chǎn)bout 12 feet

B．a(chǎn)bout 6 feet

C．a(chǎn)bout the height of an average man

D．nearly 10 feet

3.According to the passage, windows are ______ of escaping a fire?

A．the only way

B．the best way

C．safer than any other ways

D．one of the possible ways

4.The writer suggests that _______

A．breathing in smoke might be harmful

B．smoke will enter the room through an open window

C．fresh air can’t reach the second floor window

D．to keep you head low will help you to escape a fire

5.If you are on the second or third floor when a fire breaks out, you’d better _____

A．drop directly onto the ground

B．first drop onto a roof then onto the cement

C．drop from a roof window then onto bushes and trees

D．drop onto the cement rather than bushes and grass

Ⅳ. 閱讀理解（共20題；每小題2分，滿分40分）

第一節(jié)閱讀理解（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給A, B, C和 D項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

In an age when technology moves faster than most can keep up with, a small group of people still remain in the time of old-fashioned letters. Frankly speaking, I was once certain that traditional letters could never be replaced by other means of communication.

But a story about online communication changed my mind.

An old man, who suffered a lot from Parkinson's disease, was not able to talk clearly and could hardly write his name. Living totally alone, he managed to keep in touch with nearly all the members of his family. How did he achieve this? He clicked out words on his computer keyboard.

I, therefore, managed to get an e-mail box as soon as the opportunity came. My life changed. E-mail, and all online communication, is something truly different. It has capabilities that few other products can match.

E-mail is convenient. It takes less time with its fast speed and 24-hour connection. The slow postal service is no match. If you wouldn't want to have a face-to-face talk with your manager, you might talk with him through e-mail even if you are in the same office.

Naming all the good things about online communication is not easy. But wait. E-mail can be inconvenient. It can waste time and energy. Just think what may happen when you take a short vacation and return to find your e-mail box filled with 200 unread messages. You could clearly spend half a day clearing junk ads.

Then, online communication will keep us staying at our computer while it connects us to distant strangers. Once we throw ourselves into the machine, we may forget the human touches we once held so dear. I'm sure there's and always will be a place for the old-fashioned letter, phone call, and face-to-face meeting even in the world of modem communication.

As I listen to the sound of the modem, I was excited at stepping out to the outside world but, at the same time, I sensed a loss of control over something valuable in my personal life.

41. What caused the writer to become interested in e-mail and online communication?

A. The sound of the modem.        B. His own illness.

C. The changing of his life.         D. A sick old man's experience.

42. What is the most probable meaning of the underlined word "junk" in Paragraph 7?

A. Old and useless.                 B. New and useful.

C. Short but valuable.               D. Long but clear.

43. What does the writer think of online communication?

A. It should replace old-fashioned letters completely.

B. It is perfectly and always does good to you.

C. It is extremely useful and convenient, but it may be inconvenient or even harmful.

D. It does more harm than good.

44. How did the sick old man keep in touch with his family members?

A. With the help of his computer.

B. By writing letters with his pen.

C. By making telephones calls.

D. By visiting them regularly.

45. According to the writer, traditional means of communication will never disappear because    .

A. they are convenient and popular though they are slow

B. they help to keep the friendly relationship between people

C. most people cannot keep up with the development of technology

D. modem means of communication does too much harm
