Little by little,his face 66 red and finally he criedout, “Mummy,help! ”67 all the ball-pens in his hand had either sharp or round ends, I said casually, "Mummy can't help you on this. "But immediately he cried loudly and fell to the floor. A moment later,he ran back to the table,and 68 trying to keep the ball-pens standing up.Without knowing why the ball-pens can't stand up,my son had accepted the impossibility after many times of 69 tries. He put aside all the ball-pens,and kept only those marker-pens for this standing up "game". This time he succeeded in this way.Clearlhe already learned to let go of this useless try.Being persistent is not easy. But sometimes, it is even harder to let go. In our dailylife,perhaps many headaches can be 70life,perhaps many headaches can be 70if we know how to realize those unlikelyachievable goals,and then decisively let go of them immediately.65.

But the fire that followed burned up hundreds of m 71 ofdollars' worth of buildings. Not in history has a modern city been so completely destroyed. San Francisco is gone.Nothing remains of it b 72 memories.On Wednesday morning at a quarter past five came the earthquake. By Wednesday afternoon,half the heart of the city was gone. I watched the big fires from out on the bay. East,west,north and south,strong winds were b_73 upon the dead city. Day and night the fires continued.Wednesday night saw the destruction of the very heart of the city. Time and time again,successful efforts were made by the firefighters,and every time,the flames would appear once again from the sides or from behind them only to defeat their hard-won v_74_.Throughout the nightztens of thousands of homeless people made their escape. Toy wagons and go-carts were used as trucks. Union Square was packed with refugees. Government tents had been set up. People were lining up for free meals. Everybody was p_75. Never in all of San Francisco's history were her people so kind as on this horrible night.At one o'clock in the morning, I walked down t 76 the heart of the city. A rain ofashes was falling. Not one person was in sight. I stood at the corner of Kearney and Market. The place had been given up. A few blocks awayjt was burning on both sides. The street was a wall of flames.All day Thursday and Thursday night,all day Friday and Friday night,the fires continued to burn.

It has been adapted by editors for younger readers.D.Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)：(12%)This week,my dog of almost 14 years died. What I lost was not just a pet dog. She was so much more than that. I don't even remember my life without her.My dog only cost $40. She was among hundreds of dogs at Philadelphia's Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) . PAWS is the largest animal shelter in my city. It is also a "no-kill" shelter.Many other shelters,however,are unable to be "no-kill"because of the large number of animals they have. Nearly sixty percent of dogs that enter these shelters end up being euthanized (meaning " killed in a peaceful way")This number could be lowered if more people decided to adopt an animal rather than purchasing one. When you adopt a pet from a shelter,you are not only giving your chosen animal a loving home. You are also saving the lives of many others as you help to free up space for them.Adopting an animal is much cheaper than buying one. Since the COVID-19 pandemic broke out,many people have had lower incomes than usual. More people have turned to adopting dogs.The idea behind the adoption of a dog is good. However,some animal shelters are worried that after the pandemic is overzsome of these new pet owners might become,busy again and no longer have time to care for their animals. These animals might end up back on the streets and in the end being put down. So before you take in an animal,think about why you want to do so. Do you truly love it,or do you just want to save money?I like to think back to when I adopted my dog almost 14 years ago. I'm proud that I gave her the life she deserved. Pets can make wonderful additions to our lives. However,almost any petjncluding those without a large price tag,can do this. We should never allow man's best friend to be let down by a system that kills because there is no room.78 .The dog was just a pet to the writer,wasn't she?79 .Where did the writer get the pet dog?80 .What caused many people to turn to adopting dogs?81 . According to the writer;what might happen to the newly adopted pets after the pandemic?82 What does "this" in the last paragraph mean?83.Do you agree with the writer that adopting is better than purchasing? Why?（15-20 words）（20 words）X.Writing（写作）:（20%）84. Write at least 60 words on the topi
