C
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 medicine - laden 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 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."
64.What is the boy Tyler's attitude towards death?
A.pessimistic.   B.optimistic.     C.sorrowful.     D.fearful.
65.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
66.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.
67.The underlined word dynamo in the fourth paragraph here means      ________________.
A.a(chǎn) promising and helpful youth          B.a(chǎn)n extremely energetic person
C.a(chǎn) rare and beautiful flower             D.a(chǎn) magic and understanding superstar

The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light,I looked sadly before me at a huge pile of that troublesome stuff they call “books”.

I was going to have my examination the next day. “When can I go to bed?”I asked myself. I didn't answer, in fact I dared not.

The clock struck twelve. “Oh, dear!”I cried. “Ten more books to read before I can go to bed!”We pupils are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.

The clock struck one. I was quite desperate (絕望的) now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.” My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.

When the author was going over his lessons, all the others in the house were ________.

A.a(chǎn)sleep                      B.working in bed

C.outside                     D.quietly laughing at him

Reviewing his lessons didn't help him because ________.

A.it was too late at night

B.he was very tired

C.his eyes lids were so heavy that he couldn't keep them open

D.he hadn't studied hard before the examination

What do you suppose happened to the author?

A.He went to a church to pray again.

B.He passed the exam by sheer luck.

C.He failed in the exam.

D.He was punished by his teacher.

The best title for the passage would be ________.

A.The Night Before the Examination

B.Working Far into the Night

C.A Slow Student

D.Going Over My Lessons

信息匹配
        閱讀下列應(yīng)用文及相關(guān)信息,并按照要求匹配信息。
首先請(qǐng)閱讀下列兒童讀物的封面及基本信息:

                                                                              A
     Donald has lost his favorite toy lion and he's desperate to find it before bedtime. Mickey is on the
case to help his Clubhouse friend, and with the help of the reader and a few handy Mouse tools, the
bedtime mystery is solved.

                                                                             B
Merry Christmas!Welcome to the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Mickey, Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Pluto.
I'll tell two tales that teach valuable lessons about giving help. Join Mickey and Donald to the North Pole
to help Santa fix his broken sleigh.

                                                                              C
In this road story, Mickey and his Clubhouse friends find that every delay is not a bad thing when you're
on the road to learning. In this simple story, children can repeat words and phrases and gain confidence. 
                                                                              D        

     Curious George and the man visit the zoo. A hungry George snatches a pail of bananas from the zoo
keeper. Though he shouldn't have taken the bananas, George soon changes the zookeeper's shouts to
praise with his clever, helpful ways.

                                                                             E
     Curious George goes to a dog show and comes home with the winning dog. When George becomes
curious about how many dogs are in the apartment, he invents a clever way to find it out. This early
reader explores the concepts of counting and grouping.

                                                                             F      
     Curious George and the man with the yellow hat put the doggies in a group. Floppy dog, sloppy dog,
doggies eating lunch. Kids will love this lovely, colorful book, bursting with every kind of dog imaginable!
       以下是購書者對(duì)這些書籍的簡(jiǎn)要評(píng)論, 請(qǐng)把簡(jiǎn)要評(píng)論與封面及基本信息匹配起來.
     1. Curious George is interested in how many dogs are in the apartment while attending the show. He
enjoys meeting them so much that he wants to take them home. And he did, which was hardly imaginable.
     2. I bought this book for my son for Christmas as he loves the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse show and
he has already memorized the story of his favorite toy lion. He loves to "shout" for the lion and do a
monkey sound.
     3. This colorful early reading book uses repetitive words and short, simple phrases for your child to
learn. As Mickey Mouse and his friends take a long drive to the beach, they pass through a desert,
rainforest, and finally the beach itself.
     4. Words are easy to sound out, simple words that a fiveyear old boy can practice with. In addition,
he loves the dogs!  There are so many kinds. We have taken the book to the dog park. And he is excited
to read the names of the dogs.
     5. The book teaches kids that giving is more important than getting. It shows how Donald uses his
prized pennies to buy a gift and invites our kids to join Mickey and Donald as they journey to a faraway
place to help Santa.
