    I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill. It was 1994, but I can remember my mother's words as if it were yesterday: “Kerrel, I don't want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him.”

    AIDS wasn't something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My father's other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.

    We couldn't afford all the necessary medication for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had no money for school supplies and often couldn't even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teacher's words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.

    I did not share my burden (负担) with anyone. I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be cruel. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself.

    I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. she saved my life.

I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone, even me. He didn't want to call attention to AIDS. I do.

60. What does Kerrel tell us about her father?

    A. He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill.

    B. He depended on the nurses in his final days.

    C. He worked hard to pay for his medication.

    D. He told no one about his disease.

61. What can we learn from the underlined sentence?

A. Kerrel couldn't understand her teacher.          

B. Kerrel had special difficulty in hearing.

    C. Kerrel was too troubled to focus on the lesson.

    D. Kerrel was too tired to hear her teacher's words.

62. Why did Kerrel keep her father's disease a secret?

    A. She was afraid of being looked down upon.             B. She thought it was shameful to have AIDS.

    C. She found no one willing to listen to her.          D. She wanted to obey her mother.

63. Why did Kerrel write the passage?

    A. To tell people about the sufferings of her father.

    B. To show how little people knew about AIDS.

C. To draw people's attention to AIDS.              

D. To remember her father.

D  61.C  62.A  63.C


解析:

60.解析:这是一道判断题。最后一段“He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone”可知D正确。

61.解析:这是一道判断题。文中第三段前面讲到家庭状况很差,不能负担父亲的医疗费、我上学需要的钱甚至是吃饭的钱,因此很受困扰。这种困扰带到课堂上,影响了上课,因此选C。

62.解析:本题是细节推断题,可以从第四段寻找答案。第四段讲到“我看到过人们对待艾滋病的态度”,并且举例说明。因此作者不告诉别人的原因是怕别人看不起。

63.解析:这是一道判断题。从最后一句可以判断,“He didn’t want to call attention to AIDS. I do.”可知写这篇文章的目的是为了引起人们对艾滋病的重视,选C。

Heavy snow blanketed Anhui and Hubei provinces yesterday, cutting off power to some villages and blocking roads. Meanwhile, more snow is expected to cover the south in the coming three days.

Meteorologists said that the snow, which started Sunday night, is expected to fall throughout the south until this Friday, with temperatures falling below zero. The precipitation is expected to help relieve the severe drought conditions.

The temperature in the north will rise after this Friday and the south will be warmer after Nov 22nd, forecasters predicted yesterday.

The national meteorological watchdog issued an orange alert-the second—highest level-for snowstorms yesterday morning, warning that snowfalls in some areas will reach 20 mm at most.

Snowstorms refer to snowfalls that reach 10 mm in 24 hours. Snowfalls below 10 mm and above 5 mm are called heavy snows.

Last Friday, officials from the Hubei provincial government asked the transportation department, the meteorological bureau and related departments be fully prepared for the coming snow, with an emergency team ready to provide around-the-clock assistance.

The predicted snow in the south did not bring much trouble to air and rail travel with advance preparation.

The provincial education bureau declared an emergency plan on Sunday, asking primary and high schools to close when the snowstorms become severe.

The 16 expressways in snow-hit places in Hubei were scattered with 42.8 tons of snow-melting agents and about 4.580 sqm of anti-slip fabric. The latest information from the provincial expressway administration yesterday showed that traffic flowed smoothly during the snow.

The Tianhe Airport in Wuhan, Hubei province, had seven snow-melting vehicles working to ensure timely take-offs and landings.

The Anhui meteorological bureau declared all emergency alert because of the snowstorm on Sunday, with 43 cities and counties issuing alerts for snows and two issuing alerts for frozen roads. Shucheng county and Huoshan county issued time top alert because of the snowstorms on Sunday.

Luogang airport in Hefei, Anhui Province, was shut down for four hours since 7 a.m. yesterday due to the heavy snow, Xinhua reported.

The snow caused time rush-hour traffic to be heavily congested and many commuters left home earlier than usual in the morning.

Ye Wei, a worker at Hefei University of Technology, said his ride to work took a half-hour more than usual.

“Maybe tomorrow I will have to get up one hour earlier than before, because of the frozen roads,” Ye said.

The heavy snow first hit northern China, claiming dozens of lives, causing hundreds of injuries, paralyzing the traffic and grounding hundreds of flights.

The whiteout that began Nov 9th has killed at least 32 people and affected more than 9.6 million in seven provinces. More than 15,000 buildings have collapsed and nearly 300, 000 hectares of farmland have been destroyed, Ministry of Civil Affairs officials said on Sunday.

The snowfall was the heaviest in the past six decades in some northern and central provinces like Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan, with an economic loss reaching 7 billion yuan($ 1.02 billion), ministry officials said.

67.Which of the following call be the best title for this passage?

A.Heavy Snow Coming to Southern China.

B.Heavy Snow Blanketed Anhui and Hubei.

C.Snowy All Over China.

D.China in the Future Will Be Cold.
