Todd Toriscelli graduated from Ohio University in 1984 after studying athletic training. He later built a long and successful career (事业) working for the National Football League. After retiring earlier this year, Todd has turned his attention to supporting the next generation of professionals in the field.
“I take so much pride in Ohio,” Todd said. “It’s such a special place to me.” To express his thanks, he set up the Todd Toriscelli Endowment for Athletic Training, which will offer scholarships (奖学金) to students in the athletic training program.
As a teenager, Todd first went to the University of Akron and played football there. However, his grades were poor, and he returned home. Since no one in his family had gone to college before, his parents were still proud of him for giving it a try. That seemed like the end of that path — until a friend gave him a textbook and asked him to read it. Todd quickly became interested and decided to try college again at Ohio University.
At Ohio, Todd met Charles Vosler, then the head athletic trainer. Vosler told Todd that if he received a grade of a C or lower during his first term, he would be out of the program. Todd didn’t just meet that goal—he surpassed it with a 4.0 grade point average that term. He said Vosler’s warning was the best thing anyone ever said to him, because it challenged him to do better.
From then on, Todd fully threw himself into athletic training. He worked hard in class and gained hands-on experience every afternoon. With the help from teachers and classmates, he learned how to study better and grow professionally.
“Without Ohio, and without Charles Vosler having faith (信任) in me and giving me a chance, none of my career success ever would have happened,” Todd said. “That’s why I’m just so honored to come back to campus.”
4. Why did Todd start the Todd Toriscelli Endowment for Athletic Training?
A. To give back to Ohio University. B. To honor his professional sports career.
C. To remember a respected football player. D. To raise money for a new training program.
5. What made Todd decide to apply to Ohio University?
A. A good job opportunity. B. A book from his friend.
C. His parents’ suggestion. D. The college’s scholarship.
6. Which of the following best describes Charles Vosler as a trainer?
A. Strict. B. Kind. C. Patient. D. Energetic.
7. How does Todd probably feel about Charles Vosler?
A. Regretful. B. Thankful. C. Confused. D. Frightened.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了Todd曾学业受挫,因朋友的书考入俄亥俄大学,在Vosler的严格要求下蜕变,毕业后事业成功,如今设立奖学金回馈母校。

【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“That seemed like the end of that path — until a friend gave him a textbook and asked him to read it. Todd quickly became interested and decided to try college again at Ohio University.(那似乎意味着那段道路的终结——但直到一位朋友给了他一本教科书,并让他去阅读,这一切才有了转机。托德很快就被这本书吸引住了,并决定再次前往俄亥俄大学求学)”可知,朋友给他的一本书促使托德决定申请俄亥俄大学。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Vosler told Todd that if he received a grade of a C or lower during his first term, he would be out of the program.(沃塞尔告诉托德,如果他在第一学期的成绩为C或以下,他就将被踢出这个项目)”可知,查尔斯·沃斯勒作为教练很严格。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Without Ohio, and without Charles Vosler having faith (信任) in me and giving me a chance, none of my career success ever would have happened,” Todd said. “That’s why I’m just so honored to come back to campus.”(托德说:“如果没有俄亥俄大学,如果没有查尔斯·沃斯勒对我的信任以及给我机会,我的职业生涯的任何成功都不会发生。这就是为什么我如此荣幸能回到校园。”)”可知,托德对查尔斯·沃斯勒很感激。故选B。

When engineers design infrastructure like roads and bridges, they depend on hydrological (水文的) models to predict (预测) the likelihood of floods, such as those that occur once in 50 or 100 years. Engineers test these models using historical data to ensure they work correctly under observed conditions. However, new research from Cornell University shows that, due to climate change, floods are happening more often, which makes these traditional models less reliable (可靠的).
“This raises some key questions: How much should we trust our models based on historical data when predicting future events? And which models are better suited for long-term water infrastructure planning?” said Sandeep Poudel, the first author of new Cornell research.
To answer these questions, the researchers first developed a “virtual hydrolab” experiment. They used 1,000 years of simulated data, which included extreme events like floods and droughts, as well as daily weather data such as temperature, rainfall, and runoff. They then tested six different flood prediction models to see which could best predict outcomes in both present and future climate conditions.
The models fell into three groups: traditional models based on physical equations about hydrological processes; AI models that take in all of that data and make predictions based on learned input and output relationships; and a hybrid model combining the traditional and AI models. They found that while there were large uncertainties among all the models tested, the AI model performed best.
Despite the success of the AI model in this study, Poudel warned against throwing out traditional models. “Instead of thinking we can predict exactly how floods will change in each area, we should understand the limits of our models and look for patterns that appear in larger regions,” Poudel said. “This wider view will provide planners with a more reliable guide for designing infrastructure and protecting communities in a warming climate.”
8. Why are traditional flood models less reliable now?
A. They are limited to coastal city planners.
B. They are designed mainly for city bridges.
C. They are never shared among researchers.
D. They are based on past climate conditions.
9. What is the purpose of the “virtual hydrolab” experiment?
A. To compare various AI models.
B. To collect data about temperatures.
C. To test flood prediction models.
D. To check the water levels of a river.
10. What does Poudel suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Working with local guides.
B. Taking a broader view.
C. Sounding an early warning.
D. Asking planners for help.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Rethinking Risk Management.
B. Uncovering the Downside of AI.
C. Engineers Lead Flood Control.
D. AI Improves Flood Predictions.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍气候变化使传统洪水预测模型可靠性下降,康奈尔大学研究通过实验对比不同模型,发现AI模型表现最佳并给出相关建议。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Engineers test these models using historical data to ensure they work correctly under observed conditions. However, new research from Cornell University shows that, due to climate change, floods are happening more often, which makes these traditional models less reliable.(工程师们使用历史数据测试这些模型,以确保它们在观测条件下正常工作。然而,康奈尔大学的新研究表明,由于气候变化,洪水发生得越来越频繁,这使得这些传统模型的可靠性降低)”可知,传统洪水模型基于历史数据(过去的气候条件),而气候变化导致洪水频发,因此这些模型现在变得不那么可靠。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“To answer these questions, the researchers first developed a “virtual hydrolab” experiment. They used 1,000 years of simulated data, which included extreme events like floods and droughts, as well as daily weather data such as temperature, rainfall, and runoff. They then tested six different flood prediction models to see which could best predict outcomes in both present and future climate conditions.(为了回答这些问题,研究人员首先开发了一个“虚拟水文实验室”实验。他们使用了1000年的模拟数据,包括洪水和干旱等极端事件,以及温度、降雨量和径流量等日常气象数据。然后,他们测试了六种不同的洪水预测模型,以看看哪种模型能最好地预测当前和未来气候条件下的结果)”可知,“虚拟水文实验室”实验的目的是测试不同的洪水预测模型。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Instead of thinking we can predict exactly how floods will change in each area, we should understand the limits of our models and look for patterns that appear in larger regions,” Poudel said. “This wider view will provide planners with a more reliable guide for designing infrastructure and protecting communities in a warming climate.(普德尔说:“与其认为我们能准确预测每个地区的洪水将如何变化,不如我们应该了解我们模型的局限性,并寻找在更大区域出现的模式。这种更广阔的视角将为规划者在气候变暖的情况下设计基础设施和保护社区提供更可靠的指导。”)”可知,普德尔在最后一段建议采取更广阔的视角。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章开篇指出传统洪水预测模型因气候变化变得不可靠,随后介绍研究人员通过“虚拟水文实验室”实验测试六种洪水预测模型,发现AI模型表现最佳,最后给出相关建议。结合第四段中的“They found that while there were large uncertainties among all the models tested, the AI model performed best.(他们发现,虽然所有测试的模型都存在很大的不确定性,但AI模型的表现最佳)”可知,本文核心围绕AI模型改善洪水预测展开。因此,“AI Improves Flood Predictions(AI改善洪水预测)”是最适合本文的标题。故选D项。
D
The number of young children who are obese (肥胖的) or extremely obese is going down, according to a new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This is the first national study to suggest that obesity among preschoolers may have begun to decline.
To understand the finding, it helps to know how obesity is defined. Health experts determine whether an adult is obese by the height/weight ratio called the body mass index (BMI). In adults, someone with a BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese. However, determining whether a child is obese is more complex (复杂的). If a child’s BMI falls at or above the 95th percentile for age and sex, the child is considered obese. A child whose BMI is at or above 120 percent of the 95th percentile is considered extremely obese. Or, as Heidi Blanck, one of the study’s authors, explains: “A three-year-old boy who is 37.7 inches tall and weighs 37 pounds would be considered obese. If that same boy weighs 44 pounds or more, he would be considered extremely obese.
Obesity rates among preschoolers rose sharply in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In 1998, about 13% of children aged 2 — 4 were obese, and less than 2% were extremely obese. The problem became worse and reached its highest point in 2003. That year, 15.21% of children aged 2 — 4 were obese and 2.22% were extremely obese. But in 2010, the obesity rate dropped to 14.94% and the rate of extreme obesity to 2.07%. “We consider this change small but encouraging,” says Blanck.
This new report doesn’t specifically indicate one exact cause for the slight decline in obesity rates, but Sanjay Gupta, lead author of the study, believes growing awareness about childhood obesity among parents, health professionals and communities has played a role. He points out that an increase in breastfeeding may also have worked.
12. What does the underlined word “decline” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Fall. B. Beat.
C. Wave. D. Cheat.
13. Why does the author mention BMI?
A. To explain why children gain weight fast.
B. To highlight a practical treatment program.
C. To show how a child’s obesity is measured.
D. To stress children’s body weight differences.
14. What was the percentage of obese preschoolers in 2010?
A. 13.20%. B. 14.94%.
C. 15.21%. D. 17.01%.
15. What does Gupta intend to say in the last paragraph?
A. Why obesity has increased among children.
B. Why parents’ attitude to health has changed.
C. What helped reduce obesity in preschoolers.
D. What played a key role in children’s growth.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了美国疾控中心研究显示学龄前儿童肥胖率下降,说明儿童肥胖判定标准、历年数据及肥胖率下降的可能原因。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“The number of young children who are obese (肥胖的) or extremely obese is going down, according to a new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This is the first national study to suggest that obesity among preschoolers may have begun to decline. (根据美国疾病控制和预防中心的一项新研究,肥胖或极度肥胖的幼儿数量正在下降。这是第一项表明学龄前儿童肥胖可能已经开始decline的全国性研究)”可知,decline与前文going down意义一致,意为“下降”,与fall意义相近。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“To understand the finding, it helps to know how obesity is defined. Health experts determine whether an adult is obese by the height/weight ratio called the body mass index (BMI) (要理解这项研究结果,了解肥胖的定义会有所帮助。健康专家通过被称为身体质量指数的身高体重比来判定成年人是否肥胖)”可知,提及BMI是为了说明儿童肥胖的判定方法。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But in 2010, the obesity rate dropped to 14.94% (但在2010年,肥胖率下降到了14.94%)”可知,2010年学龄前儿童的肥胖率为14.94%。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This new report doesn’t specifically indicate one exact cause for the slight decline in obesity rates, but Sanjay Gupta, lead author of the study, believes growing awareness about childhood obesity among parents, health professionals and communities has played a role. He points out that an increase in breastfeeding may also have worked. (这份新报告没有具体指出肥胖率略有下降的确切原因,但该研究的主要作者桑杰·古普塔认为,父母、卫生专业人员和社区对儿童肥胖的认识日益提高发挥了作用。他指出,增加母乳喂养也可能奏效)”可知,Gupta意在说明学龄前儿童肥胖率下降的推动因素。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者37年前首次访问中国的经历和感受,强调了与中国人的交流对理解中国及其历史的重要性。
【36题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:当时,我对这个国家了解不多,因为它不是我在学校所学内容的一部分。“ ____ I learned at school”是宾语从句,从句中缺少宾语,表示“我在学校所学内容”,应用连接代词what引导该从句。故填what。
【37题详解】

【38题详解】
考查时态。句意:一位要回北京的旅友热情地握着我的手说:“欢迎来到中国。”shake(握)是主句谓语动词,与主语A fellow traveller之间是主动关系,根据上下文可知,讲述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时态。故填shook。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:中国给我留下了非常好的印象。提示词作宾语,用名词impression,意为“印象”,有不定冠词a修饰,用单数形式。故填impression。

考查形容词。句意:“有哪些激动人心的时刻?”提示词修饰名词moments,表示“令人激动的”,用-ing形容词exciting作定语。故填exciting。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:对我来说,这是一个与不同的人见面和交谈的机会,看到我们更多的是相似而不是不同。“(meet) and talk with different people”作chance的后置定语,名词chance后常用不定式作后置定语,表示“做……的机会”。故填to meet。
【42题详解】
考查名词性物主代词。句意:我们每个人都怀揣着希望与梦想,而我遇到的不少旅人,他们对我的国家的了解,竟比我对他们国家的了解还要深入!结合句意,表示“他们的国家”,用名词性物主代词theirs作宾语,指代“their countries”。故填theirs。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意:这次穿越世界的伟大旅程不仅让我看到了世界有多大,也让我明白了我们可以从彼此身上学到什么。not only...but also...是复合连词,意为“不仅……而且……”。故填but。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:了解中国,尤其是了解它的历史,需要时间,因为它幅员辽阔,在很多方面都很不同。副词especially作状语,意为“尤其”对前面所述的事件进行补充说明,可引出同位语,起强调作用。故填especially。
【45题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:了解中国,尤其是它的历史,需要时间,因为它幅员辽阔,在很多方面都很不同。可数名词way(方面)作宾语,有many修饰,用复数形式。故填ways。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a bright and sunny Saturday morning. I had just finished a long week of schoolwork and was looking forward to a relaxing day. At first, I planned to stay at home and watch some of my favorite TV shows. However, my best friend Linda, tied up with homework, called to say she’d left her textbook at school and ask me to get it for their afternoon study session. I agreed and headed to the school.
When I arrived at the school bus stop, there were a lot of people. Some were rushing to catch their buses, while others were waiting patiently. Among the crowd, I noticed a young woman pacing back and forth, looking extremely anxious. She was holding a map in her hand, but it seemed like she was having a hard time making sense of it. Next to her stood a man, who was constantly checking his watch and shaking his head in frustration (沮丧).
Feeling curious, I walked over and asked in a friendly tone, “Are you okay? It looks like you’re having some trouble.” The woman looked up and explained, “We’re tourists from another country, and we’re trying to get to the famous art museum in the city, but we can’t figure out which bus to take.”
I smiled reassuringly (安慰地). “Don’t worry. I can help you with that. I’ve lived in this city for a long time, and I know the bus routes (路线) well.” The man’s face lit up, and he said,” That would be wonderful! We’ve been standing here for ages, and we’re starting to get really worried that we’ll miss our chance to visit the museum.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I pointed out the nearest bus stop heading to the museum to them.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I finally returned from school with the textbook, Linda was anxiously waiting for me.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I pointed out the nearest bus stop heading to the museum to them. I carefully explained to them how to get there. To make sure they wouldn’t get lost, I even drew a simple route diagram on a piece of paper, for which they were extremely grateful. They kept thanking me, saying that without my help, they would have been in a real mess. After making sure they understood the directions clearly, I realized that I had spent quite some time helping them. Looking at my watch, I suddenly remembered Linda’s textbook. I hurriedly said goodbye to the tourists and rushed to school to get Linda’s textbook.
When I finally returned from school with the textbook, Linda was anxiously waiting for me. “There you are. I’ve been calling you nonstop,” she exclaimed, grabbing the textbook eagerly. I quickly explained how I’d helped the lost tourists find their way to the museum and how that had delayed me slightly. Linda laughed and said, “Only you would help strangers when you’re already doing someone else a favor!” We both laughed as we headed to our study session, with me feeling satisfied that my morning had turned into something much more meaningful than just fetching a forgotten textbook.

Todd Toriscelli graduated from Ohio University in 1984 after studying athletic training. He later built a long and successful career (事业) working for the National Football League. After retiring earlier this year, Todd has turned his attention to supporting the next generation of professionals in the field.
“I take so much pride in Ohio,” Todd said. “It’s such a special place to me.” To express his thanks, he set up the Todd Toriscelli Endowment for Athletic Training, which will offer scholarships (奖学金) to students in the athletic training program.
As a teenager, Todd first went to the University of Akron and played football there. However, his grades were poor, and he returned home. Since no one in his family had gone to college before, his parents were still proud of him for giving it a try. That seemed like the end of that path — until a friend gave him a textbook and asked him to read it. Todd quickly became interested and decided to try college again at Ohio University.
At Ohio, Todd met Charles Vosler, then the head athletic trainer. Vosler told Todd that if he received a grade of a C or lower during his first term, he would be out of the program. Todd didn’t just meet that goal—he surpassed it with a 4.0 grade point average that term. He said Vosler’s warning was the best thing anyone ever said to him, because it challenged him to do better.
From then on, Todd fully threw himself into athletic training. He worked hard in class and gained hands-on experience every afternoon. With the help from teachers and classmates, he learned how to study better and grow professionally.
“Without Ohio, and without Charles Vosler having faith (信任) in me and giving me a chance, none of my career success ever would have happened,” Todd said. “That’s why I’m just so honored to come back to campus.”
4. Why did Todd start the Todd Toriscelli Endowment for Athletic Training?
A. To give back to Ohio University. B. To honor his professional sports career.
C. To remember a respected football player. D. To raise money for a new training program.
5. What made Todd decide to apply to Ohio University?
A. A good job opportunity. B. A book from his friend.
C. His parents’ suggestion. D. The college’s scholarship.
6. Which of the following best describes Charles Vosler as a trainer?
A. Strict. B. Kind. C. Patient. D. Energetic.
7. How does Todd probably feel about Charles Vosler?
A. Regretful. B. Thankful. C. Confused. D. Frightened.
C
When engineers design infrastructure like roads and bridges, they depend on hydrological (水文的) models to predict (预测) the likelihood of floods, such as those that occur once in 50 or 100 years. Engineers test these models using historical data to ensure they work correctly under observed conditions. However, new research from Cornell University shows that, due to climate change, floods are happening more often, which makes these traditional models less reliable (可靠的).
“This raises some key questions: How much should we trust our models based on historical data when predicting future events? And which models are better suited for long-term water infrastructure planning?” said Sandeep Poudel, the first author of new Cornell research.
To answer these questions, the researchers first developed a “virtual hydrolab” experiment. They used 1,000 years of simulated data, which included extreme events like floods and droughts, as well as daily weather data such as temperature, rainfall, and runoff. They then tested six different flood prediction models to see which could best predict outcomes in both present and future climate conditions.
The models fell into three groups: traditional models based on physical equations about hydrological processes; AI models that take in all of that data and make predictions based on learned input and output relationships; and a hybrid model combining the traditional and AI models. They found that while there were large uncertainties among all the models tested, the AI model performed best.
Despite the success of the AI model in this study, Poudel warned against throwing out traditional models. “Instead of thinking we can predict exactly how floods will change in each area, we should understand the limits of our models and look for patterns that appear in larger regions,” Poudel said. “This wider view will provide planners with a more reliable guide for designing infrastructure and protecting communities in a warming climate.”
8. Why are traditional flood models less reliable now?
A. They are limited to coastal city planners.
B. They are designed mainly for city bridges.
C. They are never shared among researchers.
D. They are based on past climate conditions.
9. What is the purpose of the “virtual hydrolab” experiment?
A. To compare various AI models.
B. To collect data about temperatures.
C. To test flood prediction models.
D. To check the water levels of a river.
10. What does Poudel suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Working with local guides.
B. Taking a broader view.
C. Sounding an early warning.
D. Asking planners for help.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Rethinking Risk Management.
B. Uncovering the Downside of AI.
C. Engineers Lead Flood Control.
D. AI Improves Flood Predictions.

The number of young children who are obese (肥胖的) or extremely obese is going down, according to a new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This is the first national study to suggest that obesity among preschoolers may have begun to decline.
To understand the finding, it helps to know how obesity is defined. Health experts determine whether an adult is obese by the height/weight ratio called the body mass index (BMI). In adults, someone with a BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese. However, determining whether a child is obese is more complex (复杂的). If a child’s BMI falls at or above the 95th percentile for age and sex, the child is considered obese. A child whose BMI is at or above 120 percent of the 95th percentile is considered extremely obese. Or, as Heidi Blanck, one of the study’s authors, explains: “A three-year-old boy who is 37.7 inches tall and weighs 37 pounds would be considered obese. If that same boy weighs 44 pounds or more, he would be considered extremely obese.
Obesity rates among preschoolers rose sharply in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In 1998, about 13% of children aged 2 — 4 were obese, and less than 2% were extremely obese. The problem became worse and reached its highest point in 2003. That year, 15.21% of children aged 2 — 4 were obese and 2.22% were extremely obese. But in 2010, the obesity rate dropped to 14.94% and the rate of extreme obesity to 2.07%. “We consider this change small but encouraging,” says Blanck.
This new report doesn’t specifically indicate one exact cause for the slight decline in obesity rates, but Sanjay Gupta, lead author of the study, believes growing awareness about childhood obesity among parents, health professionals and communities has played a role. He points out that an increase in breastfeeding may also have worked.
12. What does the underlined word “decline” in the first paragraph mean?

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a bright and sunny Saturday morning. I had just finished a long week of schoolwork and was looking forward to a relaxing day. At first, I planned to stay at home and watch some of my favorite TV shows. However, my best friend Linda, tied up with homework, called to say she’d left her textbook at school and ask me to get it for their afternoon study session. I agreed and headed to the school.
When I arrived at the school bus stop, there were a lot of people. Some were rushing to catch their buses, while others were waiting patiently. Among the crowd, I noticed a young woman pacing back and forth, looking extremely anxious. She was holding a map in her hand, but it seemed like she was having a hard time making sense of it. Next to her stood a man, who was constantly checking his watch and shaking his head in frustration (沮丧).
Feeling curious, I walked over and asked in a friendly tone, “Are you okay? It looks like you’re having some trouble.” The woman looked up and explained, “We’re tourists from another country, and we’re trying to get to the famous art museum in the city, but we can’t figure out which bus to take.”
I smiled reassuringly (安慰地). “Don’t worry. I can help you with that. I’ve lived in this city for a long time, and I know the bus routes (路线) well.” The man’s face lit up, and he said,” That would be wonderful! We’ve been standing here for ages, and we’re starting to get really worried that we’ll miss our chance to visit the museum.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I pointed out the nearest bus stop heading to the museum to them.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I finally returned from school with the textbook, Linda was anxiously waiting for me.
