    In my procession 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 moored 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 round 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.”
    小题1:What is the boy Tyler’s attitude towards death?
    A．pessimistic.B．optimistic.C．sorrowful.D．fearful.
    小题2:Tyler requested the writer to dress him in red when he died simply because        .
    A．red is a lucky color.
    B．red right help to cure him.
    C．his mom could spot him easily
    D．he could find more mates by wearing red.
    小题3:Which of the following might serve as a possible title far this passage?
    A．My unusual profession.B．A caring mother.
    C．Mother and son.D．Dying in red.
    小题4:The underlined word dynamo in the fourth paragraph here means        .
    A．a promising and helpful youthB．an extremely energetic person
    C．a rare and beautiful flowerD．a magic and understanding superstar

    小题1:B

    Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 25 WORDS.
    As skies fill with millions of migrating birds, European scientists say the seasonal miracle appears to depend on a seeming contradiction: The fatter the bird, the more efficiently it flies. The results of their study contradict a central theory of aerodynamics（空气动力学）, which predicts that the power needed to fly increases with weight.
    For birds, apparently, the cost of flying with heavy fuel loads is considerably smaller than previously thought. Researchers found that red knot wading birds double their normal body weight of 100 grams before making their twice-a-year, nonstop commute between the British Isles and the Russian Arctic. Distance: 5,000 kilometres.
    Another study in the journal Nature measured the benefits of flying in an aerodynamic V formation, which allows birds to save energy by gliding in the lead bird’s air stream.
    Flying in formation, their heart rates were as much as 14.5 per cent lower than flying solo, according to Henri Wimerskirch, a French scientist. The findings help explain how birds complete difficult migrations. Researchers had assumed that thinner, more athletic birds would have the best chance of survival.
    The first study suggests that building up fat deposits to be burned as fuel during the migration is worth more than the energy it takes to carry the additional weight. Heavier birds apparently use their muscles more efficiently.
    In the study, researchers said their team studied the birds flown at different body masses during 28 simulated flights. They were injected with a small amount of water containing a radioactive element that enabled the team to measure the amount of energy burned.
    85. How much will a red knot wading bird probably weigh before making its nonstop migrating flight?
    86. The additional weight gained before the flight won’t increase the powered needed to fly; on the contrary, it works as _____________________.
    87. How did scientists successfully conduct the first study?
    88. We can infer from the studies on fat deposits and V formation flying that both factors _____________________________.

    Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time. The moment was exciting. Salome’s   36 filled the room and brought the theater to life. I was so   37  that I decided to write an article about her.

The   43  was almost unbearable. I struggled for days   44  draft after draft. Finally I put my manuscript (手稿) into a large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.
    It didn’t take long. My manuscript   45 . How stupid of me! I thought. How could I   46  in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn’t   47  the rejection letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.
    Five years later, I was moving to California. While   48  my apartment, I came across the unopened envelope. This time I opened it and read the editor’s letter in   49 :
    Dear Ms Profit,
    Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic. Yet we need some   50  materials. Please add those and return the article immediately. We would like to   51  your story soon.
    Shocked, it took me a long time to   52 . Fear of rejection cost me dearly. I lost at least five hundred dollars and having my article appear in a major magazine. More importantly, I lost years of   53  writing. Today, I have become a full – time writer. Looking back on this   54 , I learned a very important lesson: You can’t   55  to doubt yourself.

    The story goes that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: "Today my best friend slapped me in the face."  They kept on walking until they found an oasis（绿洲）, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him.  After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: "Today my best friend saved my life."  The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a stone. Why?"
    The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us we should write it down in the sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in the stone where no wind can ever erase it."
