Ⅰ.阅读理解

(2021·郑州模拟)Every morning I walk outside and bring in the morning newspaper. There was a time when every house on both sides of the street had a newspaper in the driveway. There was also a time when every house had a landline telephone, but not anymore. Not for a long time.

My husband is less willing to accept the downward trend of print­edition newspapers, as he has worked in newspapers since the age of 16. Even before that, he was what you would call an “independent publisher”．

Recently, we were at a Chicago park with our grandchildren. My husband had a newspaper folded under his arm. He sat down and put the paper on the bench beside him. A young girl walked over, looked at the newspaper, picked it up and asked, “What's this？”

I thought he was going to fall over. The color faded from his face. His eyes rolled back in his head and his_legs_were_giving_out. I rolled up his paper and waved it under his nose. The smells from the ink woke him up.

Some people simply love paper — the feel, the portability, and the pleasure of piling them higher and higher until their wife cries, “Enough！” My husband was happy when he spent time with our youngest daughter and her husband. When they lived with us, they raced to pull the crossword puzzle from the paper every day. It's hard to do a crossword online. Pencil doesn't come off a computer screen as easily as you might think.

Now my husband will be very excited that I have found further proof that there may still be hope for the survival of print. I was chatting with a young mother who subscribes to the daily newspaper. I asked why she did something so conservatively. She looked shocked. “Because it's print！” she said. “I love print! When the paper didn't come one day, would you believe I called the main number to let them know and the lady said, ‘Why don't you just subscribe to the online version？’” She shook her head in disbelief.

My husband will be so thrilled that he might write this young woman into his will. I say we leave her all our piles of old newspapers.

9．is　考查主谓一致。根据下文中的时态和what引导的主语从句可知，此处应该用一般现在时的第三人称单数。故填is。

10．whether　考查名词性从句。此处指没人能确定是不是同一个人。分析句子结构可知，此处用whether引导宾语从句，whether ...or not意为“是否”。故填whether。
