To make things _42_，Evans，whom they had all thought of _43_ the strongest of the five，fell badly into a deep hole in the ice. Having _44_ along for several days，he suddenly fell down and died.The four who were _45_ pushed on at the best speed they could _46_.

It was 1994，but I can remember my mothers words as if it were yesterday.“Kerrel，I dont want you to take food from your father，because he has AIDS. 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 their 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 table 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 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 didnt want to call attention to AIDS，I do.60What does Kerrel tell us about her father?AHe had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill.BHe depended on the nurses in his final days.CHe worked hard to pay for his medication.DHe told no one about his disease.61What can we learn from the underlined sentence?AKerrel couldnt understand her teacher.BKerrel had special difficulty in hearing.CKerrel was too troubled to focus on the lesson.DKerrel was too tired to hear her teachers words.62Why did Kerrel keep her fathers disease a secret?AShe was afraid of being looked down upon.BShe thought it was shameful to have AIDS.CShe found no one willing to listen to her.DShe wanted to obey her mother.63Why did Kerrel write the passage?ATo tell people about the sufferings of her father.BTo show how little people knew about AIDS.CTo draw peoples attention to AIDS.DTo remember her father.COnly three local students won Chinese Blog (博客) Competition. And 15 of the 18 awards went to students from China.170 students task is to get a fullydesigned blog up and running，as well as complete with many postings based on a theme of choiceall written in Chinese.Themes ranged from local opinionssuch as the usage of Singlish，education and whether Singapore can be a cultural centreto food blogs.The entries were judged on language proficiency (熟练程度) and the quality of writing，as well as the design and level of exchanging ideas with readers.Academics from the National University of Singapore and the SIM University，IT experts，and a journalist from Chinese newspaper Lianhe Zaobao in Singapore made up the judges.In the end，only three Singaporean students made it to the award listthe rest of the awards were swept up by students from China.“No surprise，” said Mr. Chow Yaw Long,37，teacherincharge from Innova Junior College，which organized the event. “Although the topics were local subjects，the foreign students were generally better in terms of the content of the posts and their grasp of the Chinese language.”One of the three local students winning the first prize in the Best Language Award was blogger Christina Gao,19，from the Saint Andrews Junior College，who spared no effort in researching for and writing her blog. Each entry took her between five and seven days to produce，complete with pictures and even podcasts (播客)Her advice for bloggers is：Be responsible.“Some bloggers out there only seek to blame the authorities and other bloggers，” said Miss Gao，“I think they lack responsibilities and there is no value to their posts.”64The competition was organized by _.Athe National University of SingaporeBChinese newspaper Lianhe ZaobaoCInnova Junior CollegeDthe Saint Andrews Junior College65Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AChinese students won most of the awards.BNot all the themes were about local subjects.CThe blogs could be written in Chinese or Singlish.DThe judges were from universities in Singapore and China.66What Miss Gao said suggests that _.Ashe likes to blame the authoritiesBshe has a sense of responsibilityCshe thinks highly of the others blogsDshe loves to read valuable posts67The passage is mainly about _.Ahow Chinese students won the awards in the competitionBwhy bloggers should take responsibility for their blogsChow Miss Gao won the first prize in the competitionDwhat the result of the competition wasDDid you know that womens brains are smaller than mens? The average womens brain weighs 10% less than mens. Since research has shown that the bigger the brain，the cleverer the animal，men must be more intelligent (聪明的) than women. Right? Wrong. Men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests，despite the difference in brain size. Why? After years of study，researchers have concluded that its whats inside that matters，not just the size of the brain. The brain consists of “grey matter” and “white matter”. While men have more of the latter，the amount of “thinking” brain is almost exactly the same in both sexes.It has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work faster，perhaps because the two sides of the brain are better connected in women. This means that little girls tend to learn to speak earlier，and that women can understand sorts of information from different sources at the same time. When it comes to talking to the boss on the phone，cooking dinner and keeping an eye on the baby all at the same time，its women who come out on top every time.There are other important differences between two sexes. As “white matter” is the key to spatial (空间的) tasks，men know better where things are in relation to other things. “A great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players，and he knows where to go，” says one researcher. That may explain one of lifes great mysteries：Why men refuse to ask for directions.and women often need to!The differences begin when fetuses (胎儿) are about nine weeks old，which can be seen in the action of children as young as one. A boy would try to climb a barrier (障碍物) before him or push it down while a girl would attract help from others. These brain differences also explain the fact that more men take up jobs that require good spatial skills，while more women speech skills. It may all go back to our ancestors (祖先)，among whom women needed speech skills to take care of their babies and men needed spatial skills to hunt，according to one research.If all this disappoints you，it shouldnt. “The brain changes throughout our lives according to what we do with it，” says a biologist.68Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?AWomens brain is 10% less than mens.B“Grey matter” plays the same role as “white matter”C“Grey matter” controls thinking in the brain.DBoth sexes have the same amount of “white matter”69What can we infer from the second and third paragraphs?AWomen prefer doing many things at a time.BMen do better dealing with one job at a time.CWomen do not need to be told directions.DMen have weaker spatial abilities.70Which of the followings do you agree with according to the fourth paragraph?AYoung boys may be stronger than young girls.BMore women take up jobs requiring speech skills.CWomen may have stronger feelings than men.DOur ancestors needed more spatial skills.71What is the writers attitude in writing this passage?ADefensive. BPersuasive.CSupportive. DObjective.ELike most people，you may have heard a lot a
