答案:
1. 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,因此用as。2. 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)。
3. B be born infected with HIV表示“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。4. B 从上文提示可知,他依赖药物治疗,这使他能(enable)活下去。
5. A 从该句中的oxygen(氧气)可知,他需要额外的氧气来支持他的呼吸(breathing),其他选项不符合语境。
6. B 根据下文语意可知,Tyler不愿意放弃他童年的快乐时光,此处语意表示他的心理状态,用be not willing to不乐意,不愿意,符合语境。
7. B 所以“我们”经常(not unusual)可以看出Tyler背着装满药物的背包,后面小车中拖着(drag)氧气瓶,在后院玩耍、跑步。
8. A 参见7题解析。从常识可知,车在后面,应该是拖着(drag),而不是carry“携带”;push推;take带走。
9. 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。
10. C 从常识判断,他母亲也是苦中作乐,常取笑(tease)他,告诉他跑得太快(fast)了,以致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(spot)他。
11. D 参见10题解析。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。
12. B 参见10题解析。spot在这里表示“发现,看见”。
13. 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;break down作“垮掉”讲时应表达为Tylers health broke down。
14. B 此处是so引起的倒装结构,表示“他感染了HIV的母亲也如此”。
15. A apparent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”。
16. D 他母亲跟他聊起了死亡(death)的话题。由后面一句可知答案选D项。
17. C 他死前几天示意(sign)“我”到他病床边。
18. A 由常识判断,他濒临死亡,肯定很虚弱,只能轻轻地对“我”说(whisper)。
19. C Tyler说他不害怕(scared)死亡,但他死后,要给他穿红色(red)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。
20. A 文中11空后有提示。解析参考19题。
.阅读理解
The smiling face of Santa Claus appears all across China. Local governments are decorating trees and lamp posts with lights and ornaments. At first glance visitors would think they were in Europe.
Despite the fact that most Chinese are not Christians, Christmas season has become increasingly popular.
“If you had walked around major Chinese cities 15 years ago, you wouldn?t have seen many signs of Christmas. However, if you were to visit those same Chinese cities again today, you?d be surprised to see signs of Christmas almost everywhere,” says Cai Jiming, a professor with Tsinghua University, who has served as an expert in developing Chinas holiday schedule.
Although Christmas is not a public holiday, many Chinese cities are still getting into the Christmas spirit.
Cai says his email inbox and cellphone have been flooded with messages wishing him a merry Christmas. The greetings have been coming in since the end of November.
In his view, Christmas seems like a “warmup” for the truly important monthlong Spring Festival, which begins on Feb. 3 next year.
However, despite the prevalence(流行)of Christmas celebrations, for most Chinese, it neither means a religious celebration nor an occasion for family reunions. Instead, it is a time for relaxing with friends, a time to shop, a time to have a party and it is especially a time for romance.
“It seems to me that everything associated with Christmas time is romantic.”
On the streets, rose and chocolate peddlers are competing for their business.
Christmas has become another Valentine’s Day, and at the same time, more people feel it is a time to reward themselves with good food and a good time.

A. Christmas has become the most important festival in China

1. B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容,全中国都在庆祝圣诞节,到处充满了节日气氛,所以选B。

假设你将参加某英语杂志社开展的一次征文活动,征文的内容要求你在电视、手机(cell)和网络三者中,放弃其中一个并陈述理由。请你以“Which would you give up: TV, cell, or Web?”为题,写一篇英语短文。
注意:
1.词数100左右;
2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
范文:
Which would you give up: TV, cell, or Web?
We are now living in an information age, in which TV, cells and the Web are widely used. It seems that many people cannot enjoy themselves without them.
However, if I had to give up one of them, I would turn off the TV rather than switch off my cell or cut off the Internet. I could do without TV because few shows take my fancy and there’re too many commercials. Besides, most programs on TV are also available elsewhere.
As for cells and the Web, they are more necessary to me. I need a cell to keep in touch with my friends and family, and almost all information can be gathered on the Internet.
