In my dual 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.” 21.From the first paragraph，we can infer that . A.the author is hate the child who infected with the virus B.the author has realized the importance of life C.there's some sympathy for the child whose name is Tyler D.the author have learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages 22.What is the BEST title for the article? A.How to deal with HIV B.A child and a mother B.C.Please dress me in red D.Never give up living 23.Where can we read this article？ A.An classical book B.A newspaper C.A book about HIV D.A book which offers touching stories

Rats that eat high levels of a natural sugar known as fructose（果糖）seem to age faster than other rats-and the same could be true for people who eat too much sweet junk food, Israeli researchers said Monday． Fructose, found naturally in honey and fruit, is used widely in foods ranging from soft drinks to yogurt．But while its sweet taste is popular, the sugar could cause wrinkles, the researchers said．Dr．Moshe Werman and Boaz Levi of the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology fed large amounts of fructose to laboratory rats．Writing in the Journal of Nutrition, they said the fructose-fed rats showed changes in the collagen （胶原蛋白）of their skin and bones．Collagen basically holds the body together．The loss of collagen is what causes loose skin and deep wrinkles in older people, The process affected, Werman's team said, is known as cross-linking（交叉相连） "．"Too much cross-linking makes the skin stiff, and these are the conditions that encourage wrinkled skin," Werman said in a statement．He said the same could be true of people, although this has not been shown．"Americans are eating more and more processed foods such as baked goods, canned fruits, jams and dairy products that contain fructose," Werman said．Other studies have shown that taking in high fructose may cause diabetes（糖尿病）． The rats Werman worked with were fed much more than the average adult person might eat in a day, which is standard in such experiments．The rats were fed 12.5 grams of fructose per kg of weight every day for a year． 24．In 'the experiments, if a rat was 0．25 kg, it may have been fed about grams of fructose every day for a year． A．3 B．4 C． 5 D．6 25．Why do older people have deep wrinkles according to the passage? A．They don't drink enough water every day． B．They don't take enough exercise every day． C．Collagen in their body is lost, D．Their daily foods do not contain enough fructose． 26．What can we learn from the passage? A．The fructose-fed rats only showed changes in the collagen of their skin． B．Too much cross-linking makes the skin soft． C．The amount of sugar the rats ate was larger than an ordinary adult might eat in a day． D．It hasn't been shown that taking in high fructose may cause diabetes． 27．The best title for the passage should be “” ． A．Sugar-it could reduce collagen B．Collagen-it could age you C．Collagen-it could cause wrinkles D．Sugar-it could age you

Let us imagine how Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's most famous work, might be updated 200 years on. Austen's popularity is rooted in her intelligence. But today she would certainly have had a very different life, as would her characters. Here's my own suggestion. . . It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men, however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism. " My dear husband," said his hopeful wife one day, " have you heard that the local store, standing empty for so long, is taken over by a bright young businesswoman?" Her dull and indifferent (漠不关心的) husband replied that he had not. "But it is, it is," she replied excitedly. Mr. Dull-Husband made no reply. "Don't you want to know her plans?" she cried with some impatience. "Well, clearly you think it matters to your silly little head. .. so I'd better listen. " "Well, my dear, the rumor (传言) is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England, though how a woman can know anything about that is beyond me”. She will move in herself next month. " "What is her name?""Bingley. " "Is she married or single?" "What a question! And none of your business. But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys. ""How so? How can it possibly affect them? " "My dear love; those lazy boys need something to wake them up. There are bound to be jobs going. " " Is that her point in settling here? Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place. " " Nonsense, my love, how little you've noticed the world has changed. She's got a first-rate degree and some sort of business qualification, I'm told. She surely needs one of our boys! Perhaps you might give her a call. " "Me? No. Perhaps you can take an interest. You still have your looks, after all. She may even offer you a job. ""Oh, that's not likely. These new chances belong to the younger generation. But now you mention it, I think I'll go along all the same. " And Mrs. Bennet went along. That was 10 years ago. She is now managing director of a FTSE-listed company. ... It would remain the case, of course, that Mrs. Bennet would be one of very few women on the company board, that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues, her bonus of a more "female" dimension and her lifespan (年限) among the city's business leaders shorter than theirs. Still, she'd no doubt have enjoyed Davos(达沃斯经济论坛)—and might even have hobnobbed (攀谈) with influential figures. 28.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Austen was born 200 years ago. B. Austen rewrote Pride and Prejudice. 29.The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs. Bennet ____. A. had mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about Bingley B. felt kind of worried and doubtful about Bingley C. was extremely anxious to meet Bingley D. had a great curiosity about Bingley 30.In the eyes of Mrs. Bennet, Bingley surely needed one of their boys to ____. A. get married toherB. work for her C. help her move in D. take over her store 31.What does the writer intend to tell us? A. Women with brains can also be as successful as men. B. Women have to pay a high price for success. C. A judgment must be made free from prejudice. D. Sex discrimination still exists nowadays.

When you make a mistake, big or small, cherish it like it’s the most precious thing in the world. Because in some ways, it is. Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, get mad at ourselves. And that’s only natural: most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, that we should try to avoid mistakes. We’ve been scolded when we make mistakes—at home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction. Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: they make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible. By trial and error—trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes—we have figured out how to make electric light, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, to fly. Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, make works of genius possible. Think about how we learn: we don’t just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it. You don’t just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing, then you make mistakes and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you’ve pretty much learned how to do something. That’s how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new—because if you succeed at something, it’s probably something you already knew how to do. You haven’t really grown much from that success—at most it’s the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey was made up of mistakes, if it’s a good journey. So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible. 32. Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes? A. Because mistakes make us suffer a lot. B. Because it’s a natural part in our life. C. Because we’ve been taught so from a young age. D. Because mistakes have ruined many people’s careers. 33. According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes? A. We should try to avoid making mistakes. B. We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes. C. We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn. D. We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction. 34. The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph 6 probably means . A. a small child learning to walk B. a kindergarten child learning to draw C. a primary pupil learning to read D. a school teenager learning to write 35. We can learn from the passage that . A. most of us can really grow from success B. growing and improving are based on mistakes C. we learn to make mistakes by trial and error D. we read about something and know how to do it right away

THINK“ADDING VALUE”(and you’ll get more money) Most people either“like”their job，“love”their job or“hate”their job．Everyone wants to make more money regardless of how they feel about their job．The secret to making more money is，focus on adding value．Think less of what you can have or acquire． 36 You don’t always have to do more though we always can do more．What you might consider is“doing different”．Let me explain． 1．Do you choose to be happy at work?It’s a choice．And you can do it．It’s a lot of“mind over matter”．Mind what’s important and the rest doesn’t matter． 37 When you choose to be happy，you will affect others in the workplace． 2． 38 Michael’s definition of a“drag”is，a person who“drastically reduces all good．”Of course，they have a bad attitude．If you’re this kind of person，you can change．Start being positive．Start by giving subtle and honest praise to co-workers．Just start looking for authentic reasons to give others some praise．It will set you apart from everyone else．People will recognize you as being more caring and more interested in them．Your influence will skyrocket especially if you’re in an environment where there is little praise and encouragement． 3．CHOOSE what you are going to think．Most people have given in to CNN，ABC，NBC，“the way things are”，society，drama，negativity and the like．It’s time to take back charge of your brain．Get your focus directed．Like Paul said in the bible，“Think on these things．Things that are true，are of a good report，are honorable，are positive．” 39 If you have nothing to read that is positive，send me your email address and I'll send you a free copy of my‘Powerful Attitudes’ebook．Read a little every morning．It will positively and powerfully affect the rest of your day． When you change yourself，you will add value in your workplace．Like the late great business philosopher，Jim Rohn said，“You can take out the garbage at McDonalds and earn minimum wage．But if you take out the garbage and whistle as you do it every day，you’re likely to earn 50 cents more per hour．”Add value to your workplace by controlling your own attitude． 40 A．Start your day by reading something positive． B．Think more of what you can do，produce or create． C．Just be yourself and create a strong self image． D．Are you a“drag”? E．Your attitude and your happiness is important． F．Fall in love with it． G．You will advance faster and in time，make a lot more money

The most important lesson I learned in high school had nothing to do with maths or American history. It came at graduation, several minutes before I left Miramonte High School. I was rather shy back then, content to 41around with my few friends and to concentrate on my 42 I was doing so well that by the end of senior year I had perfect scores and enough 43 to go to college. But my good record soon became a 44 to my well-being. In early June of senior year, the headmaster called me into his office. He asked me to give a leave-taking speech at graduation. I looked at him, my heart 45 fast. This was the 46 for my hard work? I said something, but not very clearly, and hurried away from the office. I was 47 about the decision, finally agreeing to compromise. I wasn’t the only speaker — I would48the honor with five other students. Still, it was doubtful whether the task was 49 me. How in the world would I give a speech to hundreds of people? Graduation day soon arrived and, as 50 , I was nervous. I’d been practicing my speech for days, and I had it 51 . But I had never been so 52 in my life. The first half hour of the ceremony passed, and then my 53 came. My name was announced. I managed to reach the platform without falling down. But within minutes, I finished my speech, 54 back to my seat and feeling unsatisfied with my performance. Now I still have the 55 of that speech. My voice trembled a little, but 56 it was clear and strong. I’m proud of that tape. I achieved something I’d never 57 — I spoke in front of hundreds of people. 58 I didn’t realize it at the time, the successful completion of that speech gave me the 59 to participate in class at college, to give oral reports, and to eventually break free of my 60 . I never would have chosen to give a speech at graduation. But I am glad I did. I know it may well turn out to be one of my shining moments. 41.A.hang B. look C. turn D. run 42.A. characters B. interests C. games D. subjects 43.A. money B. credits C. time D. standards 44.A. 1uck B. benefit C. fear D. solution 45.A. burning B. breaking C. aching D. beating 46.A. punishment B. reward C. arrangement D. sympathy 47.A. doubtful B. optimistic C. generous D. hesitant 48.A.share B.bring C. spare D. give 49.A.about B. for C. upon D. beyond 50.A.known B. hoped C. expected D. planned 51.A.thrown B.printed C.memorized D. completed 52.A.interested B.terrified C.excited D. disappointed 53.A. moment B. clay C.chance D. decision 54.A. passing B. handing C.

We can always hear voices comparing the education systems in China and the US. It's true that61 exist a lot of differences, but this cannot be an excuse62 having a passive attitude toward studying in China. When I came back from the US last year and continued my senior middle school education in China, I sensed many great differences. I thought that school in China was too hard for 63 (we) students, and that we didn't get to do enough fun exercise except running around playgrounds together. My mom had a long talk with me. After that, I realized that though high school life in China is harder, it can give us 64 (much). The pressure helps us learn the true meaning of competition 65 westep into society. It gives us a strong heart and 66 (teach) us to step forward no matter what the 67 (real)is. It's like climbing a mountain. You might feel dizzy and nervous, but the top is always there 68 (wait) for you as long as you are strong enough一69 (take) one more step. We complain 70 (main) because we can't see the whole picture. We all need to understand that success takes efforts and tears.

请阅读下面短文，并按要求以Our Life Rests on Our Choice为题，用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。 Life is a matter of choice. Seemingly, it means a choice of concrete (具体的) things. But in fact, it means choosing a way of life. Life is to be lived and enjoyed, not to be wasted or complained about. Hardly can we forget the time when our society faced the threat from the life-and death disease --- SARS. Yet, even during those dreadful times, some suffering people remained optimistic. Instead of wearing white masks, some people turned to color1 ful ones, and thus displayed a happy mood. And some creative people dubbed SARS to mean “SMILE AND REMAIN SMILING.” People who survive these kinds of circumstances decide in their minds to carry on in spite of the hardships. Although we cannot choose our appearance, inborn gifts and even avoid unexpected disasters and adversities (逆境), we do have the right to choose to live optimistically, to love our lives, to have dreams, and to cherish hopes. Every morning when we get up, we have a choice of how we want to approach life that day. 【写作内容】 1. 用约30个单词写出上文的概要； 2. 用约120个词就“Our Life Rests on Our Choice” 谈谈你的看法和感受，内容包括： （1）简要叙述你对“Our Life Rests on Our Choice”的理解； （2）请举例说明你会选择怎样的人生态度； （3）简要叙述你这样选择的理由。（至少2点） 1.阐述观点或提供论据时，不能直接饮用原文语句； 2.作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。 内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。
