A
up
in
a
very
Karen,grown
United
States,maintained high moral(道德的) standars throughout her youth..In 1984,at the
age of 23,she married Bill.They were blessed with two children,a boy and a girl.
By 1991 their love had deepened,and they were happy.Later that year,Bill
traditional
family
the
western
in
developed a white spot on his tongue.He visited a doctor.
One day shortly after that,Bill called Karen to sit beside him.He said with tears
in his eyes that he loved her and wanted to live forever with her.The doctor suspected
that he had been infected with HIV,the virus that leads to AIDS.
The family was tested.Bill and Karen’s results were positive.Bill had become
infected before he met Katen;then he passed the virns on to Karen.The children’s
results were negative.Within three years,Bill was dead.“I don’t know how to express
what it is like to watch the once handsome man you love and intend to live with forever
dying slowly.I cried many nights.He died three months short of ten years of our
marriage,”says Karen.Though a doctor told Karen that she would soon follow her
husband into death,she is still alive.The infection has progressed to the early
stages of AIDS.
Karen is but one of about 30 million people now living with HIV/AIDS,a figure
larger than the combined populations of Australia.Ireland and Paraguay.According
to one UN report,Africa has 21 million of these victims.By the turn of the century
that number could reach 40 million and the disease will bring on the greatest disaster
in human history.Of the wold’s sexually active adults aged 15 to 49,1 in 100 has
already been infected with HIV.Of these,only 1 in 10 realizes that he or she is
infected.In some parts of Africa,25 percent of the adults are infected.
Since the beginning of the spread of AIDS in 1981,about 11.7 million people have
died of it.It is roughly calculated that in 1997 alone,about 2,3 million people died
of it.Nevertheless,there are fresh reasons for optimism in the battle against
AIDS.During the past few years,there has been a drop in new AIDS cases in wealthy
nations.In addition,promising drugs hold out hope of better health and longer life.
61.By telling the story of Karen,the author intends to
A.were people against high risk behaviors
B.stress the importance of medical tests
C.express sympathy for AIDS victims
D.show the consequences of AIDS
62.The underlined part in Paragraph 1 most probably means “
A.were lucky in having
C.regretted having
B.were asked to adopt
D.gave birth to
.
”.
63.Bill was suspected of being infected with HIV after
.
A.he got married to Karen
B.the family members were tested
C.Karen persuaded him to see the doctor
D.he found something wrong with his tongue
64.It can be concluded from the passage that
A.promising drugs will soon stop AIDS
.
B.the spread of AIDS could be controlled
C.it is hopeless to win the battle against AIDS
D.the death rate of AIDS patients has been reduced
B
How can a creature weighing over 5 tons and normally taking 150 kilograms of food
and 120 liters of water per day survive in a desert environment?
In the southwest African country of Namibia, and the Sahara lands of Mali further
north, the desert elephant does just that.
Although not regarded as a separate species from the African elephant, the desert
cousin differs in many ways. Their bodies are smaller, to absorb less heat, and their
feet are larger for easier walking across sandy surfaces. They are taller, to reach
higher branches. They have shorter tusks (象牙), and most importantly, longer
trunks to dig for water in riverbeds.
Desert clephants can travel over 70 kilometers in search for feeding grounds and
waterholes, and have a larger group of families, They drink only every 3-4 days,
and can store water in a “bag” at the back of their throat, which is only used
when badly needed. Desert elephants are careful feeders-they seldom root up trees
and break fewer branches, and thus maintain what little food sources are available.
Yong elephants may even eat the dung (粪便)of the female leader of a group when
facing food shortage.
”.
During drought they are unlikely to give birth to their young but with good rains
the birthrate will increase greatly. Desert elephants have sand baths, sometimes
adding their own urine (尿液) to make them muddy!
As we continue to overheat our weak planet, it can only be hoped that other animal
species will adapt as extraordinarily well to change as the desert elephant.
65. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means“
A.remains in the African countries
B.drinks 120 liters of water a day
C.manages to live in desert areas
D.eats 150 kilograms of food daily
66.Desert elephants are called careful feeders because they
A.tarely ruin trees
B.drink only every 3-4 days
C.search for food in large groups
D.protect food sources for their young
67.The author answers the question raised in the first paragraph with
A.stories and explanation
B.facts and descriptions
C.examples and conclusion
D.evidence and argument
68.What can be inferred from the last sentence in the passage?
A.Overheating the earth can be stopped.
B.Not all animal species are so adaptable.
C.The planet will become hotter and hotter.
.
.
D.Not all animals are as smart as desert elephants.

Almost every child is scared of something, from monsters in the cupboard to dogs
in the park. But the fact that such fears are common and normal doesn’t mean they
can be taken lightly. Kids experience fears and phobias(恐惧症) much more strongly
than adults. And the influence of the fear can be physical as well as psychological
(心理的). It can build up so they almost seem scared of everything-a kind of childhood
anxiety. Dr. Creswell says:“Your child may always seem to expect the worst to happen
and lack confidence in his or her ability to deal with any challenge.”So don’t
make the same old mistake of treating them as if they’re silly for boing a“scaredy
cat”. Handing the fears is essential.
Children can be born nervous and., if you have such a baby, you’ll tend to prevent
them from getting worried. So if they fear dogs, You’ll keep them away from dogs,
but in fact that can just confirm to the child that dogs are scary. What is worse,
keeping your child away from what they fear can turn that feeling into a phobia.
Instead, you should encourage them to get in touch with the thing they fear, in a
safe and supportive environment. Dr. Andy Field, a researcher of childhood fears,
says:“You should’t force, for example, a dog anxious child to go up to a dog. But
you can approach it yourself, show them there is nothing to be afraid of, stroke
(抚摸) it, and talk about the dog being friendly. Once your child dares to stroke
a dog-one that’s good with children, of course-then you should encourage them to
carry on until they feel calmer, and reward them for‘being brave’.”
69.Children’s fears are usually taken lightly because
A.they will not develop into phobias
B.their influence is psychological
C.they exist widely in the world
D.they will disappear gradually
70.If we fail to help children to overcome fears, they will
A.make the same old mistake
B.overcome them by themselves
C.experience the worst of things
D.grow up lacking self-confidence
71.According to Dr. Andy Field, if a child is afraid of a cat, parents should
A.tell the child not to be afraid of it
B.show the child how to approach it
C.keep the child away from it
D.ask the child to stroke it

Over the last 70 years, researchers have been studying happy and unhappy peopke
and finally found out ten factors that make a difference. Our feelings of well-being
at any moment are determined to a certain degree by genes. However, of all the factors,
wealth and age are the top two.
Money can buy a degree of happiness. But once you can afford to feed, clothe and
house yourself, each extra dollar makes less and less difference.
