Be very careful when you are around him.”AIDS wasnt something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My fathers other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.We couldnt afford all the necessary medication for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had no money for school supplies and often couldnt even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teachers words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.I did not share my burden (负担) with anyone. I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be cruel.

One such experiment took place in South America about fifty years ago. Whether its final consequences will cause serious damage or nothing more than a small trouble still remains to be seen. The story began in 1956 when an American scientist working in Brazil decided to solve the problem of increasing the productivity of that countrys bees. He imported a very active type of African bee from Tanzania and mated (交配) it with the more easy-going native variety to produce a new kind of bees. The new bees worked harder and produced twice as much honey. It seemed that Professor Kerr, for that was the scientists name, had a total success on his hands. Then things began to go wrong. For some reason as yet unseen, but perhaps as a result of something in their environment, the new bees began to develop extremely attacking personalities. They became bad-tempered and easy to be angry, attacked the native bees and drove them from their living places. But worse was to follow. Having taken over the countryside, the new bees, with their dangerous stings (叮) , began to attack its neighbours - cats, dogs, horses, chickens and finally man himself. A long period of terror began that has so far killed a great number of animals and about 150 human beings. This would have been bad enough if the bees had stayed in Brazil. But now they are on the move, heading northwards in countless millions towards Central and North America, and moving at the alarming speed of 200 miles a year. The countries that lie in their path are naturally worried because it looks as if nothing can be done to stop them.56. The results of the South American experiment . A. have caused a serious trouble B. have proved to be wrong C. are not yet certain D. are not important57. The experiment mentioned in this passage was designed to . A. increase the amount of honey in Brazil B. make Brazilian bees more easy-going C. increase the number of bees in Brazil D. make African bees less active58.

The last paragraph implies that . A. the bees have been driven to Central and North America B. the bees may bring about trouble in more countries C. the bees must be stopped from moving north D. the bees prefer to live in Brazil答案 56.C 57.A 58.C 59.BPassage 45(06广东B篇)Hes an old cobbler (修鞋匠) with a shop in the Marais, a historic area in Paris. When I took him my shoes, he at first told me: “I havent time. Take them to the other fellow on the main street ; hell fix them for you right away.” But Id had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman (手艺人). “No,” I replied, “the other fellow cant do it well.” “The other fellow” was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys “while-U-wait” - without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, andwhen they have finished sewing back a sandal strap (鞋带) you might as well just throw away the pair. My man saw I wouldnt give in, and he smiled. He wiped his hands on his blue apron ( 围裙), looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, “Come back in a week.” I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf. “See what I can do?” he said with pride. “Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work. ” When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange, dusty felt hat, his funny accent from who-knows-where and, above all, his pride in his craft. These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old, way as long as it “pays”, when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption (消费) rather than a way to realize their own abilities. In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.60. Which of the following is true about the old cobbler.? A. He was equipped with the best repairing tools. B. He was the only cobbler in the Marais. C. He was proud of his skills. D. He was a native Parisian.61.

According to the author, many people work just to . A. realize their abilities B. gain happiness C. make money D. gain respect63. This story wants to tell us that . A. craftsmen make a lot of money B. whatever you do, do it well C. craftsmen need self-respect D. people are born equal答案 60.C 61.A 62.C 63.BPassage 46(06重庆A篇)When I was in the third grade, I was picked to be the princess(公主)in the school play. For weeks my mother had helped me practice my lines. But once onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Then my teacher told me she had written a narrators(解说者的) part for the play, and asked me to change roles. Though I didnt tell my mother what had happened that day, she sensed my unhappiness and asked if I wanted to take a walk in the yard.It was a lovely spring day .We could see dandelions(蒲公英)popping through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with bits of gold. I watched my mother carelessly bend down by one of the bunches. “I think I am going to dig up all these weeds,” she said. “From now on, well have only roses in this garden.”“But I like dandelions,” I protested. “All flowers are beautifuleven dandelions!”My mother looked at me seriously. “ Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesnt it?” she asked thoughtfully. I nodded. “And that is true of people, too,” she added.When I realized that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry and told her the truth. “But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her.Over the next few weeks, with her continuous encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally came. A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to me. “Your mother asked me to give this to you,” she said, handing me a dandelion. After the play, I took home the flower, laughing that I was perhaps the only person who would keep such a weed.56The girl did not play the role of the princess mainly because . Ashe felt nervous on the stageBshe lost her interest in that roleCshe preferred the role of the narratorDshe had difficulty memorizing her words57Why did the mother suggest a walk in the garden?ATo remove the dandelionsBTo enjoy the garden scene.CTo have a talk with her daughter.DTo help her daughter with the play.58What is the main idea of the story?AEverybody can find his or her own way to success.BEverybody has his or her own value in the world.CEverybody should learn to play different roles.DEverybody has some unforgettable memory.答案 56.A 57.C 58.BPassage 47(06江苏A篇)The Marches were a happy family .
