Inside, my mother was _38_the last of the boxes.  39  I entered the front door, the thought that after today I wouldn’t enter through that  40 ever again burned a hole in my stomach. I picked up my dog and sat Indian style with him in my lap on the  41 , wooden floor. I had no 42  but to sit on the floor, for there was no longer any furniture in my house. I sat there in a daze (恍惚), just 43 . There was no reason for my parents to make me, a once 44 12-year-old kid,  45. I had two best friends right across the street; I did well in school and I always kept my room clean.  46 , this was “my house”. By no means did I want a couple of  47 living here. These recurring (重复) thoughts  48  around in my mind and I couldn’t find an answer.

Out of the front window I could see the orange top of a truck pulling in along the cleaned driveway and I knew it was the other U-Haul. At once their men came  49  in through the back door like World War Ⅲ was starting.

I watched  50  as the men, my mother and my dad loaded the truck. My dog even winced (畏缩) as he stared out of the window. I wondered if he was  51  , too, or if he just wished to play outside in the snow.

My mum came in, looking solemn (凝重). She turned  52  the overhead light, put the  53  in my arms and took me out of the back door. A totally 54  feeling filled my heart. For the first time in my life, I wondered what  55  would be like to me tomorrow.

第二节：语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）

阅读下面短文，根据上下文填入适当的词语，或使用括号中的词语的适当形式填空，

并将答案填在标号为31-40的相应位置。

       In country after country, talk of nonsmokers’ right is in the air. While a majority of countries have taken little or   31   action yet, some 30 nations introduced steps based on the law to control smoking. Many laws have been made in other   32   to help clear the air for nonsmokers, or to cut the quantity of cigarettes.

       In some developed countries the quantity of cigarettes has become more or less fixed. However, in many   33   (develop) nations, smoking is seen as a sign of economic progress – and is   34  encouraged. As more tobacco companies go international, new markets are sought to gain new   35   in those countries. For example, great efforts are made by the American tobacco industry to sell cigarettes in Middle East and North Africa,   36   sales of tobacco increased by more than 27 percent in 1974.

       World government should lead the battle   37   smoking. Limitations on cigarette advertisements, plus health warnings on packages and forbidding public smoking in certain places, are   38   most popular tools used by nations in support of nonsmoker or controlling smoking. But world attention also is being paid to another step which will make the smoker increasingly self-conscious (自觉的) and uncomfortable about his habit. Great efforts should   39   (make) to inform young people especially of the shocking results of taking up the habit. And cigarette price should be raised.

       In the long run,   40   is no doubt that everybody would be much better-off if smoking were forbidden altogether, but people are not ready for such strong action.
