B．forC．as D．on答案：C介词as后面接表身份或职业的名词。2．A.pleasure B．painC．sorrow D．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.seriously B．bornC．unlucky D．disappointingly答案：BbeborninfectedwithHIV表示“天生/出生时携带HIV”，从后半句hismotherwasalsoinfected和后一句可以推知答案。4．A.cause B．enableC．make D．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makesbdosth结构；lead表示“导致”，应该用leadtosth结构。5．A.breathing B．livingC．running D．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.happy B．willingC．daring D．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。benotwillingtodo表示“不乐意做，不愿意做”。7．A.common B．unusualC．surprised D．ordinary答案：B所以我们经常(notunusual)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.dragging B．carryingC．pushing D．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.character B．joyC．moment D．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.comforted B．scoldedC．teased D．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.slowly B．happilyC．quickly D．fast答案：Dslowly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.know B．spotC．stop D．observe答案：Bspot表示“发现，看见”。13．A.tore B．brokeC．wore D．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。weardown表示“(使)消耗，损耗”；teardown“拆毁，拆卸”；breakdown作“垮掉”讲时人作主语，即用Tylerbrokedown才对；kickdown表示“踢倒”。14．A.neither B．soC．such D．nor答案：Bsodo/didsb表示“某人也一样”。15．A.apparent B．hopelessC．sure D．terrible答案：Aapparent表示“明显的，显然的”；hopeless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.life B．dreamC．future D．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.waved B．saidC．signed D．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.whispered B．shoutedC．cried D．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.excited B．surprisedC．scared D．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.red B．whiteC．bright D．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)ChristopherThomas,27,wasawriterbynightandateacherbydaywhenhenoticedhewasalwaystiredandwaslosingweightfast.Diagnosedwithdiabetes(糖尿病),Thomaswouldneedtoinjecthimselfwithinsulin(胰岛素)threetimesadayfortherestofhislifeorrisknervedamage,blindnessandevendeath.Andifthatweren'tbadenough,hehadnohealthinsurance.Afteramonthoffeelingupset,Thomasdecidedhe'dbetterfindawaytofightback.HeleftCanton,MichiganforNewYork,gotajobwaitingtables,nicknamedhimselftheDiabeticRockstar,andcreated,afreeonlinecommunityfordiabeticsandtheirlovedones—aplacewhereover1,000peoplesharepresonalstories,informationandresources.JasonSwencki'sson,Kody,wasdiagnosedwithdiabetesatsix.Fatherandsonvisittheonlinechildren'sforums(论坛)togethermostevenings.“Kodygetssoexcited,writingtokidsfromallover，”saysSwencki,oneofthesite'svolunteers.“Theyknowwhathe'sgoingthrough,sohedoesn'tfeelalone.”Kodyisanythingbutalone：DiabetesisnowtheseventhleadingcauseofdeathintheUnitedStates,with24milliondiagnosedcases.Andmorepeoplearebeingdiagnosedatyoungerages.Thesedays,Thomas'smainfocusishischarity(慈善机构),FightIt,whichprovidesmedicinesandsuppliestopeople—225todate—whocan'taffordadiabetic'shugeexpenses.Fight­hasraisedabout$23,000—inproductsandincash.InMay,ThomaswillholdthefirstannualDiabeticRockstarFestivalinthecaribean.Withastaffof22volunteers,Thomasoftendevotesupto50hoursaweektohiscause,whilestilldoinghisfull­timejobwaitingtables.“Ofthediabetescharitiesoutthere,mostareputtingmoneyintofindingacure，”saysBentleyGubar,oneofRockstar'soriginalmembers.“ButChristopheristheonlypersonIknowsayingpeopleneedhelpnow.”1．WhichofthefollowingistrueofChristopherThomas?A．Heneedstogotothedoctoreveryday.B．Hestudiestheleadingcauseofdiabetes.C．Hehasapositiveattitudetohisdisease.D．Heencouragesdiabeticsbywritingarticles.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．Dwascreatedfor________.A．diabeticstocommunicateB．volunteerstofindjobsC．childrentoamusethemselvesD．rockstarstosharere
