(2011年银川八校第二次联考)In my profession as an educator and health care provider，I have worked with numerous children infected with the virus that causes AIDS.The relationships that I have had with these special kids have been gifts in my life.They have taught me so many things，but I have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages.Let me tell you about Tyler. Tyler was born infected with HIV：his mother was also infected.From the very beginning of his life，he was dependent on medications to enable him to survive.When he was five，he had a tube surgically inserted in a vein in his chest.This tube was connected to a pump，which he carried in a small backpack on his back.Medications were hooked up to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream.At times，he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing. Tyler wasn’t willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease.It was not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard，wearing his medicineladen backpack and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon.All of us who knew Tyler marveled at his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him.Tyler’s mom often teased him by telling him that he moved so fast that she needed to dress him in red.That way，when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard，she could quickly spot him. This dreaded disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little dynamo like Tyler.He grew quite ill and，unfortunately，so did his HIV－infected mother.When it became apparent that he wasn’t going to survive，Tyler’s mom talked to him about death.She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too，and that she would be with him soon in heaven. A few days before his death，Tyler beckoned me over to his hospital bed and whispered，“I might die soon.I’m not scared.When I die，please dress me in red.Mom promised she’s coming to heaven，too.I’ll be playing when she gets there，and I want to make sure she can find me.” 【解题导语】 作者与无数艾滋病患儿打过交道，这些患儿使作者明白了很多道理。其中，作者遇到一个叫泰勒的小患者，他面对死神与厄运的坦然与乐观给作者留下了深刻印象。 1．What is the boy Tyler’s attitude towards death? A．Pessimistic. B．Optimistic. C．Sorrowful. D．Fearful. 解析：选B。考查推理判断。从文章的叙述可知，泰勒很乐观，面对死神从来不放弃治疗与抗争，特别从最后一段中他最后说的话可以看出，他不畏惧死亡，态度很乐观。 2．Tyler requested the writer to dress him in red when he died simply because __________. A．red is a lucky color B．red might help to cure him C．his mom could spot him easily D．he could find more mates by wearing red 解析：选C。考查细节理解。从最后一段可知，面对即将到来的死亡，泰勒很坦然，要作者在他死时给他穿上红衣服，以便他妈妈到天堂后能很快地找到他。 3．Which of the following might serve as a possible title for this passage? A．My unusual profession B．A caring mother C．Mother and son D．Dying in red 解析：选D。考查主旨大意。全文介绍作者作为教育工作者和医疗保健提供者与艾滋病患者的接触，特别是那些小患者，他们与死神进行英勇斗争的精神让人感叹，D项最能概括他们这种英雄气概与美好愿望。 4．The underlined word“dynamo”in the fourth paragraph here means __________. A．a promising and helpful youth B．an extremely energetic person C．a rare and beautiful flower D．a magic and understanding superstar 解析：选B。考查词义猜测。画线词部分的语境说，艾滋病最终使像泰勒这样的小dynamo也被摧残了，结合文章关于泰勒的描述可以判断，其含义是B，精力旺盛的人。 B Words：469 难度系数：☆☆ 建议用时：7′ In the summer of 1978 an English farmer was driving his tractor through a field of wheat when he discovered that some of his wheat was lying flat on the ground.The flattened wheat formed a circle about six meters across.Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat.The five circles were in a formation like five dots.During the following years，farmers in England found the strange circles in their fields more and more often. The circles are called“crop circles”because they appear in the fields of grain—usually wheat or corn.The grain in the circles lies flat on the ground but is never broken；it continues to grow，and farmers can later harvest it.Farmers always discover the crop circles in the morning，so the circles probably form at night.They appear only in the months from May to September. At first，people thought that the circles were a hoax.Probably young people were making them as a joke，or farmers were making them to attract tourists.To prove that the circles were a hoax，people tried to make circles exactly like the ones that farmers had found.They couldn’t do it.They couldn’t enter a field of grain without leaving tracks，and they couldn’t flatten the grain without breaking it. Many people believe that beings from outer space are making the circles to communicate with us from far away and that the crop circles are messages from them. Scientists who have studied the crop circles suggested several possibilities.Some scientists say that a downward rush of wind leads to the formation of the circles—the same downward rush of air that sometimes causes an airplane to crash.Other scientists say that forces within the earth cause the circles to appear.There is one problem with all these scientific explanations：crop circles often appear in formations，like the five－dot formation.It is hard to believe that any natural force could form those. 5．In the summer of 1978，an English farmer discovered in his field that ________. A．some of his wheat had been damaged B．some of his wheat had fallen onto the ground C．his grain was growing up in circles D．his grain was moved into several circles 解析：选B。事实细节题。根据第一段的内容可知，英国农夫发现麦田里的麦子倒在地里形成了怪圈。 6．The underlined word “hoax” in Paragraph 3 is probably ________. A．an attempt made to fool people B．a special way to plant crops C．an experiment for the protection of crops D．a research on the force of winds 解析：选A。猜测词义题。第三段的第二句解释了上句的生词hoax(恶作剧)。 7．Which of the following may prove that the crop circles are not made by man? A．The farmers couldn’t step out of the field. B．The farmers couldn’t make the circles round. C．The farmers couldn’t leave without footprints. D．The farmers couldn’t keep the wheat straight up. 解析：选C。事实细节题。根据第三段的内容可知，人们试图人为地制造一些类似的“怪圈”，可是他们的尝试以失败而告终，因为只要他们进入麦田，就必然会留下踪迹。 8．One explanation given by scientists for the crop circles is that they are made by ________. A．airplane crashes B．air movement C．unknown flying objects D．new farming techniques 解析：选B。事实细节题。由文章最后一段的内容可知B项符合题意。 |
