Armed with two over-packed suitcases, we arrived at the airport just in time for my flight. “Well, here we are, the airport,” my 1 said with a sigh. As I watched her unpack my luggage, I could see the sadness in her eyes. This was not easy on her either.
We had both been dreading (担心) this moment for the past week. One last hug and a final goodbye and I would be on my way to a new life 2 , leaving my beloved sister behind.
All my life I had loved airports. To me they were some kind of magic gateway to the world, a place from which to start great holidays and adventures. But today it seemed like a 3 and heartless place.
As we made our way to the gate we passed through a busload of 4 holiday goers and their screaming children. I looked at my sister and even though her eyes were 5 with tears, she was trying to keep a brave face. “You’d better go or you’ll miss your flight,” she said.
“I am just going to walk away and 6 look back,” I said. “That would just be too hard.”
As I held her one last time she whispered, “Don’t worry about me, I’ll be just fine.” “I’ll miss you,” I replied, and with those last words I was off. 7 promised, I did not look back, but by the time I reached the customs office I was sobbing. “Cheer up, love,” the tall customs officer said with a smile. “It’s not the end of the world, you know.” But to me it was the end of the world, as I had known it.
While 8 the plane I was still crying. I did not have the 9 to put my bag in the overhead locker, so I stuffed(塞) it on the empty seat next to mine. As I settled into my chair, a feeling of 10 overwhelmed(笼罩) me. I felt like my best friend had just been taken away from me.
Growing up, my sister and I would do everything together. Born barely fifteen months apart we not only looked alike — we were alike. We both had that 11 mix of curiosity and fear of all things unknown to us.
My parents were 12 because that way we could “keep an eye on each other” and of course report back on what the other one was up to. But now our college days were over and I was off to a foreign country, all I had left were my 13 .
I spent the rest of the flight reading the diary about my sisiter’s comings and goings. And even though a large ocean 14 us, at some point it felt like she was actually there. It was only when I thought that I had 15 my best friend that I realized that she was going to be around forever.

Ⅶ. 阅读理解，根据短文内容选择最佳答案
A
The main purpose of a newspaper is to report news. At one time this was the only way people could find what was happening elsewhere. In Britain during the nineteenth century The Thunderer, as The Times is today, was called the only way of discovering the news. There were no telephones, TVs, mobile phones, radios, computers or the Internet. In fact in the nineteenth century the career of a journalist was a very important one. That was why the newspaper was called The Thunderer because it used to fight for issues that it felt were important. It put pressure on the leaders of the government by “thundering” at them to change laws into ones that were considered to be a benefit to ordinary people.
Since the arrival of electricity all this has changed. There are now telephones, TVs, mobile phones, radios, computers and the Internet from which people can get all or any news they are interested in. So it is no wonder that the percentage of people reading newspapers has fallen in Britain from 59% in 1992 to 45% in 2007. This is very unfotunate because newspapers can fulfil a special role. Readers rely on newspapers to provide detailed background information and analysis, which television and radio newscasts rarely offer. Newspapers not only inform readers that an event happened, but also help readers understand what led up to the event and how it will affect the world around them.
But is the situation all gloom(忧愁)and despair? What about the Internet? Many newspapers are seeing the Internet as an opportunity rather than a disadvantage. They have published their newspapers online and sometimes offered their readers the news free. In return they build up reader loyalty(忠诚)and perhaps persuade some to buy the newspaper sometimes. But is this good for printed newspapers? Will they finally be replaced entirely by Internet newspapers? No one can say what will happen in the future. But certainly the most popular printed newspapers in Britain are also those that are most widely read on the Internet. So perhaps the future for journalists is not as serious as it might appear. Whether in print or on the Internet their words are being read and their opinions appreciated. So whatever the medium it seems the newspaper is here to stay.
1. Which of the following can provide readers with details of the events covered?
A. Television newscasts. B. Telephones.
C. Radio programmes. D. Newspapers.
2. What’s the main reason why fewer people read printed newspapers today than before in Britain?
A. People don’t enjoy reading newspapers any more.
B. Mobile phones and computers can offer more detailed information.
C. The arrival of eletricity has brought about many new inventions, from which people can get news.
D. A printed newspaper is not the best medium for people to get news nowadays.
3. What can be inferred from the last paragraph according to the writer?
A The role of a newspaper is more important than its form.
B. An e-newspaper is more important than a printed one.
C. A printed newspaper is more important than an e-newspaper.
D. The circulation of a newspaper is more important than its form.
4. What can we know about The Thunderer from the passage?
A. It was the leading newspaper in Britain in the 19th century.
B. It reported everything that happened in the 19th century.
C. The Times and The Thunderer were two major newspapers in Britain in the 19th century.
D. To the government leaders, it was just like a crash of thunder, urging them to make new laws beneficial to ordinary people.
5. What effect can the Internet have on the printed newspaper?
A. The Internet newspaper will totally replace the printed newspaper.
B. It’s certain that journalists will be out of work in the near future.
C. Many printed newspapers have taken advantage of the Internet to win over more readers.
D. Many printed newspapers have found more disadvantages than advantages of the Internet.
B
As a journalist, a writer aims to collect all of the facts about an event or incident and present them as truthfully and factually as possible. But sometimes leading members of the government or other high-ranking officials don’t want the truth to be told. Journalism can be a risky and sometimes even dangerous profession. Sometimes journalists risk their lives in order to report an important story. At other times, they risk going to jail rather than reveal (透露) one of their sources of information.
Unfortunately, many journalists are killed every year just for doing their jobs. Over thirty reporters were killed last year alone. These people asked questions, researched records and reported on the truths they found. The following stories are examples of the dangers journalists face around the world.
In the country of Haiti, a radio talk show host was murdered after allowing members of a political opposition party to express their ideas on his radio show. He was killed by a mob of people holding machetes(大砍刀).
The editor of a weekly newspaper in Mexico was shot in the head shortly after he reported a story that revealed something corrupt about the federal government. He had reported that local politicians were using drug trafficking money to fund their elections.
In the Ukraine, a television show host was attacked and beaten with baseball bats by people who didn’t like the content of his TV show. His last show was about government corruption.
Good journalists must be brave. Other people might do everything possible to avoid exposing government corruption. But good journalists are driven to make the community more aware of the truth and to fight for freedom.
Sometimes, these courageous journalists are successful in bringing about social changes. Other times, in many countries all over the world, journalists who dare to risk doing their job are silenced. But by retelling their stories, we can continue their fight for freedom.
6. A good journalist should have the following qualities except ______.
A. being courageous enough
B. covering the events factually
C. concealing the government corruption
D. revealing the private life affairs of a pop star
7. According to the passage what might NOT happen to a jou
