English people do not talk as much as we do.I’ve travelled by train many times and nobody has spoken to me during the journeys.I know one Englishman who is unusual.He speaks seven languages.But he is always silent.I’ve found one way to make him talk.He’s interested in mountain climbing.If I ask him about climbing,he’s always ready to talk.

Twelve-year-old Catherine has a lot of friends—632,actually,if you count up her online friends.And she spends a lot of time with them.
But is it possible that Catherine’s online friendships could be making her lonely That’s what some experts believe.Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch,they say.
However,some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships.
Could this be true During your parents’ childhoods,connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh.Kids played Scrabble around a table instead of chatting with their friends on their phones.When friends missed each other,they picked up their telephones.Friends might even write letters to each other.
Today,most communication takes place online.A typical teen sends 2,000 texts a month and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen.Much of this time is spent on social media platforms.
In fact,in many ways,online communication can make friendships stronger.“There’s definitely a positive influence.Kids can stay in constant contact,which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,” says Katie Davis,co-author of The App Generation.
Other experts,however,warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships.“If we are constantly checking in with our virtual world,we will have little time for our real-world friendships,” says Larry Rosen,a professor at California State University.Rosen also worries that today’s kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media for true friends in life.However,in tough times,you don’t need anyone to like your pictures or share your blogs.You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand.You would like to talk face to face.
【语篇导读】 本文是夹叙夹议文。文章通过具体事例谈论了网络交友的利与弊。
(　　)24.What is the purpose of the first paragraph
[A]To tell about true friends.
[B]To set off a discussion.

【答案】 B
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第一段内容及下文可知,第一段的目的是引发下文的讨论。故选B。
(　　)25.What does the underlined phrase “in the flesh” mean in Paragraph 3
[A]In any case.
[B]In full measure.
[C]In person.
[D]In advance.
【答案】 C
【解析】 猜测短语题。根据画线短语所在句及后文“Kids played Scrabble around a table...
on their phones.”可知,在父母那一代小的时候,孩子们都是围着一张桌子玩拼字游戏,而不是用手机和朋友聊天,即当面交流,从而推知画线短语in the flesh意为“亲自”。故选C。
(　　)26.What is Katie’s attitude towards online communication

[C]Worried. [D]Confused.
【答案】 B

[C]It’s wise to turn to friends online.
[D]Social media help people stay closely connected.
【答案】 A
【解析】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Rosen所说的话可知,Rosen认为青少年需要关注现实世界中的友谊。故选A。
C
We live in a world that is constantly changing and exposing us to new stimuli (刺激).At first,these new stimuli create new connections between cells in our brains,changing the structure and functioning of brain networks.This is essentially a good thing.Exposing ourselves to something new changes our brains and helps us think and develop our behaviour.
And yet,there’s a “but”: The quantity of new stimuli to which we are being exposed appears to be on a very different level than in the past.We are flooded with new products,
ideas,trends,technology and information.
At times,we start displaying behaviour that some patients with a certain degree of damage to their brains also display.They don’t allow their behaviour to be guided by their own goals,
but by the stimuli around them.
Overload (过量) of new stimuli and information will cause us to start displaying this type of field-dependent behaviour more frequently.We look at our phones all day long because they are ringing.There are so many things we have to do because they’re simply on our to-do lists.The endless flood of stimuli makes us feel like there’s always something we have to do and that we don’t have time to take a break.This constantly challenges the stress system in our brains.
This system is suitable for dealing with acute (急性的) stress,such as running out of a burning building,but chronic (慢性的) stress will destroy it.A loss of cells can occur in the hippocampus,a structure in our brains that plays a role in memory and the regulation of emotions.Another structure,the amygdala,can become hypersensitive (非常敏感的).These changes can cause our memory to slip,and us to become more anxious.
There is,however,an antidote (解药) for this.If we can develop the ability to separate useful and useless stimuli,if we can start regulating our own attention again so that we don’t respond to everything,we will be in a better position to chart our own course.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了信息泛滥对人类健康的影响以及如何应对这一问题。
(　　)28.What is the author’s opinion of new stimuli
[A]They help us enjoy life more.
[B]They do more harm than good.
[C]They are becoming less influential.
[D]They are a double-edged sword.
【答案】 D
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,新刺激改变了大脑网络的结构和功能,对我们有好处——帮助我们思考和发展我们的行为;再根据第三段内容可知,不允许自己的行为受自己目标的指引——过多的新刺激也有坏处。由此可知,作者认为新刺激是一把双刃剑,既有好处又有坏处。故选D。
(　　)29.How do people behave in the face of information overload
[A]They become less dependent.
[B]They keep themselves busy.
[C]They are guided by their goals.
[D]They follow up their to-do lists.
【答案】 B
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知,面对信息过载,人们会让自己一直忙碌。故选B。
(　　)30.Why is chronic stress harmful
[A]Because it puts our health at risk.
[B]Because it destroys our athletic ability.
[C]Because it contributes to acute stress.
[D]Because it prevents us responding to stress.
【答案】 A
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第五段内容可知,慢性压力有害健康,会导致我们的记忆力下降,变得更加焦虑。故选A。
(　　)31.What is the author’s advice
[A]Avoiding stimuli.
[B]Living a peaceful life.
[C]Making the most of our time.
[D]Taking information sensibly.
【答案】 D
【解析】 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,作者建议对刺激进行区分,然后再次调节自己的注意力,由此更好地规划自己的道路,即明智地对待信息,不要对一切信息都作出反应。故选D。
D
The telephone has been used for many years,allowing us to chat with our friends happily while we’re doing dishes.But there are many young people for whom the idea of answering a phone call is like being trapped underwater.If the only way to survive that imaginary situation were to answer the ringing phone,they might give up.
Many never answer such a call for fear of the unknown.Some understandably don’t answer the phone because some calls are unnecessarily time-consuming and the information can better be communicated through text or email,and sometimes people who enjoy talking on the phone tend to use it as a platform for awkwardly drawn-out and too personal conversations.
　　This fear goes beyond all that,and many are afraid even if the incoming phone call is totally innocent.A survey has found that most young people show anxiety before making a phone call.What is going on here
When talking on the phone,a person typically has to respond live and may not be mentally prepared enough to put a carefully-worded response together,a prospect which is even more difficult when talking to someone you don’t know.In young people’s world filled with their preferred emails and instant messages,a phone call feels like an arrow shooting through the boundary and buffer (缓冲物) such forms of communication normally afford them.
Many think phone calls should be made for urgent and serious issues,but I’d argue that line of thinking is complicated in nature.Those kinds of emergency calls are rare,and when you think that’s what phone calls should be made for,you tend to see them all that way.But the phone call,properly made and timed,is meant to negotiate that line when other options are unavailable,and provides a different kind of closeness and familiarity.
So if the phone starts ringing in front of you,try picking it up,which will give you strength to deal with other scary unknowns.Besides,you can always respond with one pleasure:hanging up.
【语篇导读】 本文是议论文。作者主要围绕年轻人对电话通话的恐惧和焦虑展开讨论,分析了这种恐惧的根源、表现形式,并提出了个人观点和建议。
(　　)32.What is the imaginary situation in Paragraph 1 intended to show
[A]Pleasure from interacting with others on the phone.
[B]Young people’s unwillingness to answer the phone.
[C]The terrible consequence of answering a phone call.
[D]The reason why young people advocate phone calls.
【答案】 B
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,本段将年轻人接听电话比作被困水下,且宁愿放弃生存也不愿接听电话,生动地展现了年轻人极不情愿接听电话的态度。故选B。
(　　)33.Why do young people prefer the use of emails according to the text
[A]Because it doesn’t require live responses.
[B]Because it can boost their critical thinking.
[C]Because it better reveals their true emotions.
[D]Because it is able to break many boundaries.
【答案】 A
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知,接打电话需要即时回应,而年轻人更喜欢电子邮件和即时消息,因为电子邮件不像电话那样需要即时回应,他们有时间组织语言。
故选A。
(　　)34.Which of the following shows the author’s opinion on phone calls
[A]They are likely to be prior to other options.
[B]They had better be avoided among strangers.
[C]They should always be a signal of serious issues.
[D]They are not necessarily reserved for emergencies.
【答案】 D
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第五段内容可知,作者认为电话不一定只能用于紧急情况,在其他合适的时候也可以打。故选D。
(　　)35.Which of the following is the best title for the text
[A]Should Young People Give Up Their Phones
[B]Are Young People Ready to Make a Phone Call
[C]Why Are Young People Frightened of Phone Calls
[D]How Can Young People Overcome Phone Anxiety
【答案】 C
【解析】 标题归纳题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段内容可知,文章开篇指出年轻人害怕接打电话这一现象,接着分析了原因,如对未知的恐惧、电话沟通的即时性等。C项能很好地概括文章主要内容,适合作本文的标题。故选C。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Apps play tricks on you to turn an activity into a habit.It’s not necessarily a bad thing to encourage healthy behaviours such as exercising with the help of apps or playing word games.
36.　 　　 Think how to recognise when your tech habit might be an unwelcome addiction,
and here’re some practical steps for you to take back control.
Do a cost-benefit analysis (成本效益分析).
It’s hard to be mindful of why you start a habit or do what you do.37.　　　 A promise of a reward for exercising more with an app could motivate you when you feel lazy.But if you’re so motivated by the reward that you ignore signs that your body needs a rest,then it might be an unhealthy habit.
Trick yourself.
38.　　　 Then a small device that cuts off your home Internet connection at 10 o’clock every night can be of help.You could have pulled yourself out of bed to turn the Wi-Fi back on,but this extra effort may be enough to break unwanted bedtime scrolling (刷屏).
39.　　
It can be helpful to plan in advance activities that might be a distraction.If your teen knows he/she is allowed one hour on social media at 7 p.m.,then he/she can relax without wasting time thinking about when he/she will be able to have access to his/her favourite app.
Make it a joint effort.
If we just leave the job of controlling tech overuse to individuals or parents,that’s crazy.
Tech companies,schools,and governments all have a responsibility.A few schools lock up students’ phones,so they can’t use them during the school day.40.　　
A.Make full use of a digital timer.
B.Schedule some time especially for your habit.
C.But even a good habit can cross the line into overuse.
D.However,we can reward ourselves with something we like.
E.Are you so addicted to your phone that it is ruining your sleep at night
F.That’s why you need consider whether a habit is benefiting or hurting you.
G.Governments can also limit the time young people spend playing video games.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了帮助人们改掉过度使用手机的不良习惯的几种方法。
36.【答案】 C
【解析】 根据上文“It’s not necessarily a bad thing...or playing word games.”可知,有浏览手机的习惯并不一定是坏事,下文“Think how to recognise...to take back control.”讲怎样才能辨别自己的习惯在什么时候可能是不必要的上瘾。C项指出即使是一个好习惯也会越界造成过度使用,承上启下,符合语境。故选C。
37.【答案】 F
【解析】 根据段落小标题“Do a cost-benefit analysis (成本效益分析).”可知,本段主要介绍得失分析。根据上文“It’s hard to be mindful of why you start a habit or do what you do.”可知,F项与上文构成因果关系,选项中的benefiting和hurting对应标题中的cost-benefit,符合语境。故选F。
38.【答案】 E
【解析】 根据本段下文内容可知,E项以问题形式引入本段话题,引出下文,符合语境,且选项中的at night呼应下文中的every night 和 bedtime。故选E。
39.【答案】 B
【解析】 根据本段内容可知,本段讲述的是要计划一下时间安排。由此可知,B项适合作本段的小标题,符合语境。故选B。
40.【答案】 G
【解析】 根据上文“Tech companies,schools,and governments...during the school day.”可知,学校和政府都应当采取相应措施,在介绍学校的措施后,应该会介绍政府的责任。由此可知,G项能够衔接上文,符合语境。故选G。

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The snowstorm was supposed to hit on the evening of Monday.I was driving from the city centre back home.All of a sudden,the snow started and within minutes I was in a white-out,
totally losing sight of the road.Soon I had to stop because I didn’t know where I was.I kept the car running to keep warm and called the emergency services.But no rescue would come until the next morning.I searched around in the white-out,but nobody or no car was nearby.I felt a deep sense of loss.
Taking a deep breath,I told myself that being afraid wouldn’t help.
My kids!It was the first time that they had spent a night without me at home.I called and told them what was happening,forcing myself to sound calm.I didn’t tell them I was frightened.But I,a problem solver all my life,couldn’t figure out what to do.
Suddenly,a colleague texted me and I joked about my driving home ending in disaster.But he had an idea.“I identify your location with the map app and send it to me,” he said.I did,and a few minutes later he texted me back a screenshot (屏幕截图) of the satellite view of where I was.We figured out that I was on a road called Bouvier Lane,in between two farms.I posted this new information on my social media platform,hoping to find anyone who lived on the farms to help me get rescued.
After that,all I could do was sit in the car and try to stay warm.I had done all I could,and no matter what happened,I had to be at peace with myself.But even if someone did figure out where I was,would help be able to come through the heavy snow and high winds
Soon enough,though,people started commenting on my post.They knew a family who lived there!I got a message from someone who was going to put me in touch with them.
注意:续写词数应为 150个左右。

　　One possible version:
At 8 p.m.,my cellphone rang.I picked it up without hesitation.A man named Andrew introduced himself and told me that he lived on one of the farms.“Just stay in your car,and I will come to your rescue as soon as possible,”he comforted me.My previous anxiety and fear were replaced by a wave of relief. Feeling a heavy burden was lifted off my shoulders,I waited for Andrew hopefully.Finally,a car pulled up in front of me.Andrew stepped out of the vehicle and invited me to head for his home.
When Andrew and I reached the house,his wife treated me to hot drinks.As I tasted the tea,the warmth drove away the fear and the cold that had grasped me for hours.The next morning,Andrew accompanied me back to my car.Fortunately,the snow had stopped and the roads were clear enough for me to drive home.I expressed my heartfelt gratitude to him before I drove away.I couldn’t help but reflect on my experience.It made me realise that sometimes when things seem the darkest,that’s when you discover the light in others. I knew I would pass on the kindness like them.

Twelve-year-old Catherine has a lot of friends—632,actually,if you count up her online friends.And she spends a lot of time with them.
But is it possible that Catherine’s online friendships could be making her lonely That’s what some experts believe.Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch,they say.
However,some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships.
Could this be true During your parents’ childhoods,connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh.Kids played Scrabble around a table instead of chatting with their friends on their phones.When friends missed each other,they picked up their telephones.Friends might even write letters to each other.
Today,most communication takes place online.A typical teen sends 2,000 texts a month and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen.Much of this time is spent on social media platforms.
In fact,in many ways,online communication can make friendships stronger.“There’s definitely a positive influence.Kids can stay in constant contact,which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,” says Katie Davis,co-author of The App Generation.
Other experts,however,warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships.“If we are constantly checking in with our virtual world,we will have little time for our real-world friendships,” says Larry Rosen,a professor at California State University.Rosen also worries that today’s kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media for true friends in life.However,in tough times,you don’t need anyone to like your pictures or share your blogs.You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand.You would like to talk face to face.
【语篇导读】 本文是夹叙夹议文。文章通过具体事例谈论了网络交友的利与弊。
(　　)24.What is the purpose of the first paragraph
[A]To tell about true friends.
[B]To set off a discussion.
[C]To encourage online friendships.
[D]To summarise the text.
(　　)25.What does the underlined phrase “in the flesh” mean in Paragraph 3
[A]In any case.
[B]In full measure.
[C]In person.
[D]In advance.
on their phones.”可知,在父母那一代小的时候,孩子们都是围着一张桌子玩拼字游戏,而不是用手机和朋友聊天,即当面交流,从而推知画线短语in the flesh意为“亲自”。故选C。
(　　)26.What is Katie’s attitude towards online communication
[A]Unconcerned. [B]Positive.
[C]Worried. [D]Confused.
(　　)27.Which of the following is Rosen’s view

[B]It’s easier to develop friendships in real life.

[D]Social media help people stay closely connected.

We live in a world that is constantly changing and exposing us to new stimuli (刺激).At first,these new stimuli create new connections between cells in our brains,changing the structure and functioning of brain networks.This is essentially a good thing.Exposing ourselves to something new changes our brains and helps us think and develop our behaviour.
And yet,there’s a “but”: The quantity of new stimuli to which we are being exposed appears to be on a very different level than in the past.We are flooded with new products,
ideas,trends,technology and information.
At times,we start displaying behaviour that some patients with a certain degree of damage to their brains also display.They don’t allow their behaviour to be guided by their own goals,
but by the stimuli around them.
Overload (过量) of new stimuli and information will cause us to start displaying this type of field-dependent behaviour more frequently.We look at our phones all day long because they are ringing.There are so many things we have to do because they’re simply on our to-do lists.The endless flood of stimuli makes us feel like there’s always something we have to do and that we don’t have time to take a break.This constantly challenges the stress system in our brains.
This system is suitable for dealing with acute (急性的) stress,such as running out of a burning building,but chronic (慢性的) stress will destroy it.A loss of cells can occur in the hippocampus,a structure in our brains that plays a role in memory and the regulation of emotions.Another structure,the amygdala,can become hypersensitive (非常敏感的).These changes can cause our memory to slip,and us to become more anxious.
There is,however,an antidote (解药) for this.If we can develop the ability to separate useful and useless stimuli,if we can start regulating our own attention again so that we don’t respond to everything,we will be in a better position to chart our own course.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了信息泛滥对人类健康的影响以及如何应对这一问题。
(　　)28.What is the author’s opinion of new stimuli
[A]They help us enjoy life more.
[B]They do more harm than good.
[C]They are becoming less influential.
[D]They are a double-edged sword.
(　　)29.How do people behave in the face of information overload
[A]They become less dependent.
[B]They keep themselves busy.
[C]They are guided by their goals.
[D]They follow up their to-do lists.
(　　)30.Why is chronic stress harmful
[A]Because it puts our health at risk.
[B]Because it destroys our athletic ability.
[C]Because it contributes to acute stress.
[D]Because it prevents us responding to stress.

[A]Avoiding stimuli.
[B]Living a peaceful life.
[C]Making the most of our time.

The telephone has been used for many years,allowing us to chat with our friends happily while we’re doing dishes.But there are many young people for whom the idea of answering a phone call is like being trapped underwater.If the only way to survive that imaginary situation were to answer the ringing phone,they might give up.
Many never answer such a call for fear of the unknown.Some understandably don’t answer the phone because some calls are unnecessarily time-consuming and the information can better be communicated through text or email,and sometimes people who enjoy talking on the phone tend to use it as a platform for awkwardly drawn-out and too personal conversations.
　　This fear goes beyond all that,and many are afraid even if the incoming phone call is totally innocent.A survey has found that most young people show anxiety before making a phone call.What is going on here
When talking on the phone,a person typically has to respond live and may not be mentally prepared enough to put a carefully-worded response together,a prospect which is even more difficult when talking to someone you don’t know.In young people’s world filled with their preferred emails and instant messages,a phone call feels like an arrow shooting through the boundary and buffer (缓冲物) such forms of communication normally afford them.
Many think phone calls should be made for urgent and serious issues,but I’d argue that line of thinking is complicated in nature.Those kinds of emergency calls are rare,and when you think that’s what phone calls should be made for,you tend to see them all that way.But the phone call,properly made and timed,is meant to negotiate that line when other options are unavailable,and provides a different kind of closeness and familiarity.
So if the phone starts ringing in front of you,try picking it up,which will give you strength to deal with other scary unknowns.Besides,you can always respond with one pleasure:hanging up.
【语篇导读】 本文是议论文。作者主要围绕年轻人对电话通话的恐惧和焦虑展开讨论,分析了这种恐惧的根源、表现形式,并提出了个人观点和建议。
(　　)32.What is the imaginary situation in Paragraph 1 intended to show
[A]Pleasure from interacting with others on the phone.
[B]Young people’s unwillingness to answer the phone.
[C]The terrible consequence of answering a phone call.
[D]The reason why young people advocate phone calls.
(　　)33.Why do young people prefer the use of emails according to the text
[A]Because it doesn’t require live responses.
[B]Because it can boost their critical thinking.
[C]Because it better reveals their true emotions.
[D]Because it is able to break many boundaries.
故选A。
(　　)34.Which of the following shows the author’s opinion on phone calls
[A]They are likely to be prior to other options.
[B]They had better be avoided among strangers.
[C]They should always be a signal of serious issues.
[D]They are not necessarily reserved for emergencies.
(　　)35.Which of the following is the best title for the text
[A]Should Young People Give Up Their Phones
[B]Are Young People Ready to Make a Phone Call
[C]Why Are Young People Frightened of Phone Calls
[D]How Can Young People Overcome Phone Anxiety

Apps play tricks on you to turn an activity into a habit.It’s not necessarily a bad thing to encourage healthy behaviours such as exercising with the help of apps or playing word games.
36.　 　　 Think how to recognise when your tech habit might be an unwelcome addiction,
and here’re some practical steps for you to take back control.
Do a cost-benefit analysis (成本效益分析).
It’s hard to be mindful of why you start a habit or do what you do.37.　　　 A promise of a reward for exercising more with an app could motivate you when you feel lazy.But if you’re so motivated by the reward that you ignore signs that your body needs a rest,then it might be an unhealthy habit.
Trick yourself.
38.　　　 Then a small device that cuts off your home Internet connection at 10 o’clock every night can be of help.You could have pulled yourself out of bed to turn the Wi-Fi back on,but this extra effort may be enough to break unwanted bedtime scrolling (刷屏).
39.　　
It can be helpful to plan in advance activities that might be a distraction.If your teen knows he/she is allowed one hour on social media at 7 p.m.,then he/she can relax without wasting time thinking about when he/she will be able to have access to his/her favourite app.
Make it a joint effort.
If we just leave the job of controlling tech overuse to individuals or parents,that’s crazy.
Tech companies,schools,and governments all have a responsibility.A few schools lock up students’ phones,so they can’t use them during the school day.40.　　
A.Make full use of a digital timer.
B.Schedule some time especially for your habit.
C.But even a good habit can cross the line into overuse.
D.However,we can reward ourselves with something we like.
E.Are you so addicted to your phone that it is ruining your sleep at night
F.That’s why you need consider whether a habit is benefiting or hurting you.
G.Governments can also limit the time young people spend playing video games.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The snowstorm was supposed to hit on the evening of Monday.I was driving from the city centre back home.All of a sudden,the snow started and within minutes I was in a white-out,
totally losing sight of the road.Soon I had to stop because I didn’t know where I was.I kept the car running to keep warm and called the emergency services.But no rescue would come until the next morning.I searched around in the white-out,but nobody or no car was nearby.I felt a deep sense of loss.
Taking a deep breath,I told myself that being afraid wouldn’t help.
My kids!It was the first time that they had spent a night without me at home.I called and told them what was happening,forcing myself to sound calm.I didn’t tell them I was frightened.But I,a problem solver all my life,couldn’t figure out what to do.
Suddenly,a colleague texted me and I joked about my driving home ending in disaster.But he had an idea.“I identify your location with the map app and send it to me,” he said.I did,and a few minutes later he texted me back a screenshot (屏幕截图) of the satellite view of where I was.We figured out that I was on a road called Bouvier Lane,in between two farms.I posted this new information on my social media platform,hoping to find anyone who lived on the farms to help me get rescued.
After that,all I could do was sit in the car and try to stay warm.I had done all I could,and no matter what happened,I had to be at peace with myself.But even if someone did figure out where I was,would help be able to come through the heavy snow and high winds
Soon enough,though,people started commenting on my post.They knew a family who lived there!I got a message from someone who was going to put me in touch with them.
注意:续写词数应为 150个左右。

　　At 8 p.m.,my cellphone rang.
