Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read A I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill It was 1994 but I can remember my mother s words as if it were yesterday Kerrel I don t want you to take food from your father because he has AIDS Be very careful when you are around him AIDS wasn t 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 any more and my dad lived alone For a while he could take care of himself But when I was 12 his condition worsened My father s other children lived far away so it fell to me to look after him We couldn t afford all the necessary medicine for him because Dad was unable to work I had no money for school supplies and often couldn t even buy food for dinner I would sit in class feeling completely lost the teacher s words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage I did not share my burden with anyone I had seen people react to AIDS Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease And even adults could be cruel When my father was moved to the hospital the nurses would leave his food on the bedside even though he was too weak to feed himself I had known that he was going to die but after so many years of keeping his 用心 爱心 专心6 condition a secret I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days Sad and hopeless I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support That day she kept me on the phone for hours I was so lucky to find someone who cared She saved my life I was 15 when my father died He took his secret away with him having never spoken about AIDS to anyone Even me he didn t want to call attention to AIDS 65 What does Kerrel tell us about her father A He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill B He depended on the nurses in his final days C He worked hard to pay for his medication D He told no one about his disease 66 What can we learn from the underlined sentence A Kerrel couldn t understand her teacher B Kerrel had special difficulty in hearing C Kerrel was too troubled to focus on the lesson D Kerrel was too tired to hear her teacher s words 67 Why did Kerrel keep her father s disease a secret A She was afraid of being looked down upon B She thought it was shameful to have AIDS C She found no one willing to listen to her D She wanted to obey her mother 68 Why did Kerrel write the passage A To tell people about the sufferings of her father B To show how little people knew about AIDS C To draw people s attention to AIDS D To remember her father B When I asked my daughter which item she would keep the phone the car the cooker the computer the TV or her boyfriend she said the phone Personally I could do without the phone entirely which makes me unusual Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate in the same way that more roads create more traffic My daughter comes home from school at 4 00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day If the phone did not exist would she have anything to talk about Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone The mobile saved my life says Crystal Johnstone She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton Trapped inside she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance 救护车 to her rescue Point 3 The mobile removes our secret It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch Carl Nicolaisen to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of the day to ask where they are where they are going and how their last meeting went Point 4 The telephone separates us Antonella Bramante in Rome says We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window It was easy to get his number We were so near but we didn t meet for the first two weeks 用心 爱心 专心7 Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously 同时地 on chat lines at least my daughter does I wouldn t know what to talk about We can talk across the world We can even talk to astronauts if you know any while they re space walking And with the phone line hooked up to the computer we can access the Internet the biggest library on Earth 69 How do you understand Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate A People don t communicate without telephone B People communicate because of the creating of the telephone C People communicate more since telephone has been created D People communicate more because of more traffic 70 It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously through A the TV screen B a fax machine C the phone line hooked up to the computer D a microphone 71 The best headline for the passage is A Phone Power B Kinds of Phone C How to Use Phones D Advantage of Phones C Some people believe that international sports creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together Others say that the opposite is true that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred There is probably some truth in both arguments but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourages international brotherhood Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests One country received its second place medal with visible indignation after the hockey final There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match the losers objecting to the final decisions They were convinced that one of their goal should not have been disallowed and that their opponents victory was unfair Their manager was in a rage when he said This wasn t hockey Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia after a disputable end to their contest The game had ended in disturbance It was thought at first that the United States had won by a single point but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other and another player popped it into the basket It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match An appeal jury debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals 用心 爱心 专心8 Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals or in non national teams might be too much to hope for But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism 72 According to the author the recent Olympic Games have A created goodwill between nations B bred only false national pride C barely showed any international friendship D led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred 73 What would the manager do by saying Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are fi
