文章大意：这是一个感人的故事：一个感染了HIV病毒的孩子泰勒，面对残酷的人生结局——死亡，他仍然那么乐观，对生活充满着美好的向往。

1．A.inB．for

C．asD．on

答案：C 介词as后面接表身份或职业的名词。

2．A.pleasureB．pain

C．sorrowD．courage

答案：D 从下文可知，“我”特别了解到了Tyler这个弱小的家伙身上有着巨大的勇气(courage)。pleasure表示“快乐”，sorrow表示“悲伤”，pain表示“痛苦”，都不符合语意。

3．A.seriouslyB．born

C．unluckyD．disappointingly

答案：B be born infected with HIV表示“天生/出生时携带HIV”，从后半句his mother was also infected和后一句可以推知答案。

4．A.causeB．enable

C．makeD．lead

答案：B 从上文提示可知，他依赖药物治疗，这能(enable)使他活下去。cause表示“引起”；make表示“使得”，应该用make sb do sth结构；lead表示“导致”，应该用lead to sth结构。

5．A.breathingB．living

C．runningD．walking

答案：A 从该句中的oxygen(氧气)可知，他需要额外的氧气来维持他的呼吸(breathing)，其他选项不符合语境。

6．A.happyB．willing

C．daringD．discouraged

答案：B 根据下文语意可知，泰勒不愿意放弃他童年的快乐时间，此处语意表示他的心理状态。be not willing to do表示“不乐意做，不愿意做”。

7．A.commonB．unusual

C．surprisedD．ordinary

答案：B 所以我们经常(not unusual)可以看到泰勒背着装满药物的背包，后面小车中拖着(drag)氧气瓶，在后院玩耍、跑步。

8．A.draggingB．carrying

C．pushingD．taking

答案：A 从常识可知，车在后面，应该是拖着(drag)，而不是carry“携带”，push“推”，take“带走”。

9．A.characterB．joy

C．momentD．excitement

答案：B 从上下文可知，“我们”都对泰勒的那种努力活下去的纯真快乐(joy)印象深刻。character表示“性格”；moment表示“时刻”；excitement表示“兴奋”。

10．A.comfortedB．scolded

C．teasedD．praised

答案：C 从常识判断，他母亲也是苦中作乐，常取笑(tease)他，告诉他跑得太快(fast)了，以致于他需要穿红色衣服，以便她透过窗户看的时候能够很快发现(spot)他。comfort表示“安慰”，scold表示“指责”；praise表示“表扬”，都与语境不符合。

11．A.slowlyB．happily

C．quicklyD．fast

答案：D slowly和happily不符合语境，quickly强调动作迅速、敏捷，而fast则强调速度快，D项符合语境。

12．A.knowB．spot

C．stopD．observe

答案：B spot表示“发现，看见”。

13．A.toreB．broke

C．woreD．kicked

答案：C 从上下文可知，这致命的病(HIV)最终消耗了泰勒的生命。wear down表示“(使)消耗，损耗”；tear down“拆毁，拆卸”；break down作“垮掉”讲时人作主语，即用Tyler broke down才对；kick down表示“踢倒”。

14．A.neitherB．so

C．suchD．nor

答案：B so do/did sb 表示“某人也一样”。

15．A.apparentB．hopele

C．sureD．terrible

答案：A apparent表示“明显的，显然的”；hopele表示“无望的”；sure跟从句时不能用it作主语；terrible表示“可怕的，糟糕的”。语境表示“很明显泰勒活不了了”，所以选A项。

16．A.lifeB．dream

C．futureD．death

答案：D 他母亲跟他聊起了死亡(death)的话题。由后面一句可知答案选D。

17．A.wavedB．said

C．signedD．explained

答案：C 他死前几天示意(sign)我到他病床边。wave“招手，挥手”，一般不跟不定式。

18．A.whisperedB．shouted

C．criedD．happy

答案：A 由常识判断，他濒临死亡，肯定很虚弱，只能轻轻地向我说。whisper“耳语，轻声说”。B、C两项不符合语境，D项后面通常不跟直接引语。

19．A.excitedB．surprised

C．scaredD．happy

答案：C 泰勒说他不害怕(scared)死亡，但他死后，要给他穿红色(red)衣服，这样在天堂他母亲就能很容易地认出他来。根据语境选C项。

20．A.redB．white

C．brightD．beauty

答案：A 文中11空后有提示，解析参考19题。

Ⅳ.阅读理解

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。

(2010·山东)

Christopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast.Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素)three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindne and even death.And if that weren't bad enough, he had no health insurance.After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he'd better find a way to fight back.He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar, and created diabeticrockstar.com, a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones—a place where over 1,000 people share presonal stories, information and resources.Jason Swencki's son, Kody, was diagnosed with diabetes at six.Father and son visit the online children's forums(论坛)together most evenings.“Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over，”says Swencki, one of the site's volunteers.“They know what he's going through, so he doesn't feel alone.”

Kody is anything but alone：Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases.And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.These days, Thomas's main focus is his charity(慈善机构), Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people—225 to date—who can't afford a diabetic's huge expenses.Fight-it.org has raised about $ 23,000—in products and in cash.In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the caribean.With a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his full-time job waiting tables.“Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure，”says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar's original members.“But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now.”

1．Which of the following is true of Christopher Thomas?

A．He needs to go to the doctor every day.B．He studies the leading cause of diabetes.C．He has a positive attitude to his disease.D．He encourages diabetics by writing articles.答案：C 推理判断题。A项与文章第一段第二句相矛盾；B项从最后一段可以看出不正确；D项没有提及；C项从第二段可以看出是正确的。

2．Diabeticrockstar.com was created for________.A．diabetics to communicate

B．volunteers to find jobs

C．children to amuse themselves

D．rock stars to share resources

答案：A 推理判断题。第二段第二句话的后半部分“...a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.”对disabeticrockstar.com进行了介绍，因此可以推断A项正确。

3．According to the text, Kody________.A．feels lonely because of his illne

B．benefits from diabeticrockstar.com

C．helps create the online kids' forums

D．writes children's stories online

答案：B 推理判断题。第四段第一句话表明A项错误，anything but意为“绝非，绝不是”；C、D两项文中没有提及；由三、四两段可以看出Kody因这个网站而受益匪浅。

4．What can we learn about Fight It?

A．It helps the diabeties in financial difficulties.B．It organizes parties for volunteers once a year.C．It offers le expensive medicines to diabetics.D．It owns a well-known medical website.答案：A 推理判断题。倒数第二段第一句话可以看出Fight It这个慈善机构为那些支付不起巨额消费的糖尿病人提供药品及供应品。

5．The last paragraph suggests that Thomas________.A．works full-time in a diabetes charity

B．employs 22 people for his website

C．helps diabeties in his own way

D．tries to find a cure for diabetes

答案：C 推理判断题。最后一段Bentley Gubar的话表明：多数糖尿病慈善机构都把钱用在了研究治疗方法上，只有Thomas说那些人现在需要的是帮助。由此可知C项正确。
