“Hello?” she asked in a louder voice. “Hello, anybody!”

    There was still no answer. Dinah began to cry. She stood up and began walking forward slowly along the port side aisle (走廊). “Keep count!” part of her mind warned. “Keep count how many rows you pass, or you'll get lost and never find your way back again. “She stopped at the port side row seats just ahead of the row in which she and Aunt Vicky had been sitting and bent, arms outstretched, fingers splayed. She was hoping to touch the sleeping face of the man sitting here. She knew there was a man here, because Aunt Vicky had spoken to him only a minute or so before the plane took off. When he spoke back to her, his voice had come from the seat directly in front of Dinah's own. She knew that; marking the locations of voices was part of her life, an ordinary fact of existence like breathing. The sleeping man would jump up when her outstretched fingers touched him, but Dinah was beyond caring.

    Except the seat was empty.

    Completely empty.

    Dinah straightened again, her check wet, her head pounding with fright. They couldn't have been to the washroom together, could they? Of course not. Perhaps there were two washrooms. In a plane this big there must be two washrooms. Except that didn't matter, either.

    Aunt Vicky wouldn't have left her purse, no matter what, Dinah was sure of that.

    She began to walk slowly forward, stopping at each row of seats, reaching into the closest to her, aiming to find someone. Nobody; the other, no. The other rows, no, no, still no! Every seat she investigated was empty.

    This can't be! This just can't be! She thought wildly. They were all around us when we got on! I heard them! I felt them! ________. Where have they all gone?

    At some point, while she slept, her aunt and everyone else on Flight 29 had disappeared!

1．It is inferred from the passage that ________.

    A. no one in the plane answered Dinah because they were sleeping

    B. all the people, including Aunt Vicky had got off the plane while Dinah was sleeping

    C. all the people, including Aunt Vicky had somehow disappeared without Dinah's acknowledge

    D. Aunt Vicky had really gone to the washroom with the man

2．There is one sentence missing in the passage. Which of the following do you think is the best to fill in the blank?

    A. I saw them!

    B. I smelled them!

    C. I touched them!

    D. I tasted them!

3．From the underlined sentence in the passage, we know the reason why Dinah wanted to touch the face of the sleeping man is that ________.

    A. she loved to touch people's face

    B. she had to because she was blind

    C. she didn't want to open her eyes

  We often hear the saying，“You’ve a greater chance of being struck by lightning than. . . ”It is used to describe something that hasn’t got much chance of happening．However，this common saying undermines(削弱)the very real danger of lightning.

Last Friday，at least five people were killed by lightning in Nepal. Lightning strikes are the second most common cause of deaths among natural disasters in the US.  The first is floods．Around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year，and of those，about 73 people die．More people are killed by lightning than by tornados and hurricanes．

  Because lightning kills only one or two people at a time,  its danger does not receive as much attention as other disasters.

  To raise awareness(意识)of the damage of lightning the US has made June 22~28 National Lightning Safety Week,  it aims to warn the public of the danger of lightning and provide safety tips about what to do during thunderstorms.

“If you can hear thunder(雷)，you are in danger of being struck by lightning，”said Rocky Lopes，a disaster educator at the American Red Cross.

  “Thunder means that lightning is close enough to hit you at any minute,  so you should move indoors immediately and stay there until the storm has ended.  The single most important thing to remember is to find a hiding place，”Lopes said.

   Summer is the time for most lightning storms，so when lightning strikes across the sky，remember these safety tips：stop working，fishing，swimming or playing in an open area.

If you count less than ten seconds between the thunder and the lightning flash,  take cover inside the nearest building．If that is not possible,  follow these instructions．

       Do not stand under a tree.

       Do not use a mobile phone.

      Get off bicycles or motorcycles．

      Crouch(蹲下) down if there is no hiding place．

67. On average，about_______ of people struck by lightning die as a result.

A.18．25％       B. 50％        C. 30％        D. 73％

68. Among all the safety tips，the most important one is that when you are outside and hear thunder you should______ .
