AIDS patients, to be given HIV-positive pregnant women to prevent the disease being passed on to their
unborn babies. He received a loud cheer at the end of his speech.

| 阅读理解 Ellen and Bill County are both teachers. They met in college and became good friends because of their shared love for children. Two years after the couple got married, Ellen saw a huge change in the life of one of her students, a 9-year-old girl. Three years ago both of the little girl"s parents had died and there was no one to take care of her. She was taken away to live in a government office. But finally she was taken in and adopted by a family and became their daughter. Ellen said that she noticed the difference in the child"s life after she was placed in a permanent home and thought that maybe she and her husband could help a child in a similar way. They decided to become temporary parents and to take a child into their home on the weekends when the real parents could not take care of him or her. The pair planned to have their own children in a few years, but decided that this would be a way to give to the community in the meantime. The couple quickly grew to love one of the children they looked after. When he became legally available, Billy became the first child they took in permanently. Six months after adopting Billy, Ellen was told by her doctor that she was unable to have children naturally. Ellen says she knew then that adoption was the way she was meant to have a family. Since adopting Billy, now 17, Ellen and Bill have adopted five more children --- Rose,16； Albert, 11; Joshua, 5 and in June 2003, they added biological brother and sister Tyler and Rylee to the County family. The County family has been recognized for their work on adoption, and have received many awards for their efforts. Last June, the family was even interviewed on the television show, "Adoption Stories". Ellen says she would like to encourage other families to adopt children. She adds that the best part of being a mother of six is: "Giving Josh a bath, putting a band-aid on a cut knee or just the everyday mom things, that makes motherhood such an honor and a privilege." 1. What is the passage mainly about? A. How a couple first met at college B. Where you can adopt a child C. The benefits of adoption to the community D. How adoption created a happy family 2. Why did Ellen and Bill first decide to adopt a childe? A. Because they had always loved children very much B. Because they saw the benefits of adoption for a child C. Because they were not able to have children of their own D. Because they wanted to receive awards for their community work 3. Which of the children are related to each other by blood? A. Rylee and Tyler B. Billy and Tyler C. Albert and Joshua D. Rose and Albert 4. What can be inferred from this passage? A. Ellen had thought of adopting a child before getting married. B. Only kids under 16 can be adopted by a family C. A loving family is important to a child"s happiness D. Adopting a child always makes the family become famous | |||
| 阅读理解 After Mom died, I began visiting Dad every morning before I went to work. He was frail and moved slowly, but he always had a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice on the kitchen table for me, along with an unsigned note reading, "Drink your juice." Such a gesture, I knew, was as far as Dad had ever been able to go in expressing his love. In fact, I remember, as a kid I had questioned Mom "Why doesn"t Dad love me!" Mom frowned. "Who said he doesn"t love you!" "Well, he never tells me," I complained. "He never tells me either," she said, smiling. "But look how hard he works to take care of us, to buy us food and clothes, and to pay for this house. That"s how your father tells us he loves us." I nodded slowly. I understood in my head, but not in my heart. I still wanted my father to put his arms around me and tell me he loved me. Dad owned and operated a small scrap(片)metal business and after school I often hung around while he worked. I always hoped he"d ask me to help and then praise me for what I did. He never asked. His tasks were too dangerous for a young boy to attempt, and Mom was already worried enough that he"d hurt himself. Dad hand fed scrap steel into a device that chopped it as cleanly as a butcher chops a rack of ribs. The machine looked like a giant pair of scissors, with blades thicker than my father"s body. If he didn"t feed those terrifying blades just right, he risked serious injury. "Why don"t you hire someone to do that for you?" Mom asked Dad one night as she bent over him and rubbed his aching shoulders with a strong smelling liniment. "Why don"t you hire a cook?" Dad asked, giving her one of his rare smiles. Many years later, during my first daily visit, after drinking the juice my father had squeezed for me, I walked over, hugged him and said, "I love you, Dad." From then on I did this every morning. My father never told me how he felt about my hugs, and there was never any expression on his face when I gave them. 1. What would be the best title for the passage? A. I just couldn"t understand my father B. My father never loved me C. Silent fatherly love D. My hard-working father 2. The author"s father always prepared a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice for him because _______. A. that was the author"s favorite B. he was sure the author would be thirsty C. the author was always complaining D. that was a gesture of love 3. When the author complained in the first paragraph, his mother __________. A. tried to comfort him B. told him that his father loved him with action C. tried to defend his father D. got a bit angry with him 4. The author"s father didn"t hire a helper because __________. A. his job was too dangerous B. his job required high skills C. he wanted to save money D. he was not good at communicating with others 5. We may infer from the passage that __________. A. the author"s father lacked a sense of humor B. the author quite understood his father as time went on C. the author"s father didn"t love him very much D. the author"s father was too strict with him | |||
| 阅读理解 It was Thanksgiving morning and in the crowded kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together inside the storm door on the top step. "Any old papers, lady?" asked one of them. I was busy. I wanted to say "no" until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals, wet with heavy snow. "Come in and I"ll make you a cup of hot cocoa." They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget. The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, "Lady, are you rich?" I looked at my shabby slipcovers. The girl put her cup back in its saucer carefully and said, "Your cups match your saucers." Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food could supply. They left after that, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadn"t said "Thank you." They didn"t need to.They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched. I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady job-these matched, too. I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am. 1. Two children came to the writer"s front door because __________. A. it was Thanksgiving Day B. they were beggars C. they wanted old papers D. they wanted a cup of cocoa 2. Why did the writer let the children in? A. She showed great pity on them. B. She had old papers to sell. 66～70 CABCD C. She wanted to invite them to her Thanksgiving feast. D. She wanted them to see how rich she was. 3. The girl thought the writer was rich perhaps because __________. A. she saw that the lady"s room was comfortable B. she saw the cups matched the saucers C. the writer"s slipcovers were very new D. the writer was preparing a big meal while she was too hungry 4. From the passage, we can infer that whether you are rich depends on __________. A. how much money you have had B. how you have helped others C. how you feel about your life D. what job your husband is doing 5. The writer left the muddy prints of small sandals on the floor for a while to __________. A. show her husband that someone had come B. remind her that she had helped two children C. remind her that she was very rich in the neighborhood D. remind her how life should be |
