　　an educator and health care provider，I have worked with many children infected with HIV.They have taught me so many things，but I have especially learned that great

　　can be found in the smallest individuals.Let me tell you about Tyler.

　　Tyler was

　　__3__

　　infected with HIV; his mother was also infected.From the very beginning of his life，he was dependent on medications to

　　__4__

　　him to survive.When he was five，he had a tube inserted in a vein(静脉)in his chest.At times，he also needed extra oxygen to support his

　　__5__.

　　Tyler wasn’t

　　__8__

　　his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon (小手推车)．All of us who knew Tyler were impressed by his pure

　　in being alive and the energy it gave him.Tyler’s mom often

　　__10__

　　him by telling him that he moved so

　　【解题导语】　病魔固然可怕，可是如何去勇敢地面对它？这是一个经常被人们讨论的话题，本文一个身患绝症的小男孩对待它的乐观态度一定能给大家以启迪。

　　1．A.in　B．for

　　C．as

　　D．on

　　解析：选C。由第一空后面的an educator and health care provider可知，前面缺少表示“作为”的介词来连接后面的双重职业身份，选项中as后面接表身份或职业的名词。

　　2．A.pleasure

　　B．pain

　　C．sorrow

　　D．courage

　　解析：选D。从下文可知，“我”特别了解到了Tyler这个弱小的家伙身上有着巨大的勇气。courage“勇气”。pleasure“快乐”；sorrow“悲伤”；pain“痛苦”都不符合语意。

　　3．A.seriously

　　B．born

　　C．unluckily

　　D．disappointingly

　　解析：选B。be born infected with HIV表示“天生/出生时携带HIV”，从后半句his mother was also infected和后一句可以推知答案选B项。

　　4. A．cause

　　B．enable

　　C．make

　　D．lead

　　解析：选B。从上文提示可知，他依赖药物治疗，这能使他活下去。enable“使能够”。cause“引起”；make“使得”，应该用make sb.do sth.结构；lead“导致”，应该用lead to sth.。

　　5．A.breathing

　　B．living

　　C．running

　　D．walking

　　解析：选A。从该句中的oxygen可知，他需要额外的氧气来支撑他的呼吸，其他选项不符合语境。

　　6．A.happy

　　B．willing

　　C．daring

　　D．discouraged

　　解析：选B。根据下文语境可知，Tyler不愿意放弃他童年的快乐时间，此处语意表示他的心理状态，故用be not willing“不乐意，不愿意”。

　　7．A.common

　　B．unusual

　　C．surprised

　　D．ordinary

　　解析：选B。所以我们经常可以看到Tyler背着装满药物的背包，后面小车中拖着氧气瓶，在后院玩耍、跑步。

　　8. A．dragging

　　B．carrying

　　C．pushing

　　D．taking

　　解析：选A。从常识可知，车在后面，应该是拖着，而不是carry“携带”；drag“拖着”。push“推”；take“带走”。

　　9．A.character

　　B．joy

　　C．moment

　　D．excitement

　　解析：选B。从上下文可知，“我们”都对Tyler的那种努力活下去的纯真快乐(joy)印象深刻。character“性格”；moment“时刻”；excitement“兴奋”。

　　10．A.comforted

　　B．scolded

　　C．teased

　　D．praised

　　解析：选C。从常识判断，他母亲也是苦中作乐，常取笑他，告诉他跑得太快了，以至于他需要穿红色衣服，以便她透过窗户看他的时候能够很快发现他。tease“取笑”；comfort“安慰”；scold“指责”；praise“表扬”，都与语境不符合。

　　11．A.slowly

　　B．happily

　　C．gently

　　D．fast

　　解析：选D。slowly和happily不符合语境，quickly强调动作迅速、敏捷，而fast则强调速度快，D项符合语境。

　　12．A.know

　　B．spot

　　C．stop

　　D．realize

　　解析：选B。spot这里表示“发现，看见”。

　　13．A.tore

　　B．broke

　　C．wore

　　D．kicked

　　解析：选C。从上下文可知，这致命的病最终消耗了Tyler的生命。wear down“(使)消耗，损耗”；tear down“拆毁，拆卸”；break down作“垮掉”讲时人作主语，即用Tyler broke down才对；kick down“踢倒”。

　　14．A.neither

　　B．so

　　C．such

　　D．nor

　　解析：选B。此处是so引起的倒装结构，表示“他母亲也如此(快要死了)”，所以选B项。

　　15．A.obvious

　　B．hopeless

　　C．sure

　　D．terrible

　　解析：选A。obvious“明显的，显然的”；hopeless“无望的”；sure跟从句时不能是it作主语；terrible“可怕的，糟糕的”。语境表示“很明显Tyler活不了了”，故选A项。

　　16．A.life

　　B．dream

　　C．future

　　D．death

　　解析：选D。他母亲跟他聊起了死亡的话题。由后面一句可知答案选D项。

　　17．A.waved

　　B．said

　　C．signed

　　D．explained

　　解析：选C。他死前几天示意我到他病床边。sign“示意”。wave“招手，挥手”，一般不跟不定式。

　　18．A.whispered

　　B．shouted

　　C．cried

　　D．spoke

　　解析：选A。由常识判断，他濒临死亡，肯定很虚弱，只能轻轻地向我说。B、C两项不符合语境，D项后面通常不跟直接引语。whisper“低语，耳语”。

　　19．A.excited

　　B．surprised

　　C．scared

　　D．happy

　　解析：选C。Tyler说他不害怕死亡，但他死后，要给他穿红色衣服，这样在天堂他母亲就能很容易地认出他来。根据语境选C项。scared“害怕的”。

　　20．A.red

　　B．white

　　C．bright

　　D．beauty

　　解析：选A。文中11空后有提示，解析参考第19题。
