    阅读理解

    　　I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill．It was, 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 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．

    (1)

    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．

    (2)

    What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph Three?

    [　　]

    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 bear her teacher's words．

    (3)

    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．

    (4)

    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．

As Doug loved oranges , I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl . Soon there was a sticky dough (面团) covered with ugly yellowish marks .

    US first lady Michelle Obama is among the world’s 100 most powerful women on a list topped by German premier Angela Merkel for four years in a row, according to a Forbes ranking released recently.

    Michelle Obama debuted（初次露面）at No.40,coming in ahead of talk show host Oprah Winfrey at 41 and Britain’s Queen Elizabeth at 42.

    Sheila Bair, chair of the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corp, which insures bank deposits,remained NO.2 after debuting on the Forbes list last year. She has gained increased fame as the US recession（经济衰退） lasts.

    The list is based on factors such as economic impact, media reach and career accomplishments. Former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice fell off the list after leaving office in January. Rice’s successor （继任者）,Hillary Clinton, came in at NO.36, dropping from No.28 last year when her presidential bid made her the woman with the highest public profile on the list.

    “women im power are rising to leadership positions in business, government and philanthropy （慈善）by making daring and unconventional moves,”Forbes said.“Gone are the days of women feeling they must stick with one employer and patiently wait for promotions.”

    “Highly ambitious women… are moving across companies and industries, making big leaps with each change, and repositioning themselves for opportunities that allow them to gain a breadth of experience,” the business magazine said.

    Merkel,55, became the first female premier of Germany in 2005 and succeeded in retaining(保留) power in a federal election not long ago.

    Michelle Obama,45,has won fans for her down-to-earth personality, her support of causes including healthy eating and the arts.

    B. she keeps her new job a secret

    C. she has become an ordinary woman

    第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，共40分）

    第一节（共15题, 每小题2分，满分30分）

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出最佳选项。                              

              Most people know that a wedding ring is symbolic of the bond of love and commitment between two people．But not everyone knows about the history behind this small yet powerful symbol．The history of the wedding ring goes back not just hundreds but thousands of years．No other currently practiced wedding tradition has been around as long．

    The Egyptians were the first recorded civilization to use the wedding ring．In Egyptian hieroglyphics（象形文字） a circle represented eternity．Once a woman accepted the ring she became the “property” of the person who gave it to her and she was in a sense “his．” The first wedding ring could have been made of braided grass or hay （which would have been changed often）, ivory, bone, or leather．Eventually, metal was used, but the first wedding bands were crude（未加工的） and rough．However, the sentiment remained the same-eternal commitment and love．

    The Egyptians wore the wedding ring on the left hand because it was believed that a vein in the left hand went straight to the heart．This tradition is still commonly practiced today in most parts of the world largely for practical purposes （most people are right handed．） It is worn on the fourth finger of the left hand．But there are some countries and groups which do not follow this tradition．In the Jewish faith, the wedding ring is put on the index finger．Roman Catholics traditionally wore their wedding band on the right hand, and in many countries and regions in Europe some people still follow this tradition．

    It is interesting to note that in the long history of the wedding ring that it is only in the last century that men have begun to wear them．However, now both men and women show their love and commitment by exchanging rings on their wedding day．

    Once you begin shopping for rings you may be amazed by the choices that await you．There are several different types of metals: traditional gold, white gold, platinum, and titanium．You can have an inscription put on the inside of the band if you like．Some people are even choosing a tattoo band．The styles vary from a simple, yet elegant band to an elaborate ring covered with jewels．If you do not buy the wedding and engagement rings as a set you will want to be sure the styles are compatible．Choose carefully because this choice will need to stand the test of eternity．

    56．What’s the best title for this passage?

             A．History of rings                B．Interesting facts about rings 

             C．Different beliefs about rings          D．The meaning of the rings．

    57．What may the word “eternity” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

             A．Elegance        B．Marriage     C．Wedding        D．Foreverness

    58．Which is NOT true according to the passage?

             A．The meaning of the rings remained unchanged．

             B．One should be careful of choosing a ring in a shop from different kinds．

             C．Jewish are so faithful to their beliefs to wear rings on the fourth finger．

             D．Now most people in the world still follow Roman Catholics traditionally．

    59．What can we infer from the passage?

             A．Men were looked upon by women for thousands years．

             B．Only women have the right to make themselves beautiful．

             C．women wore rings thousands of years earlier than men．

             D．You can have an inscription put on the inside the band．
