Millions more live with adults who are sick from AIDS.Lucie Cluver from Oxford University in England has studied children of AIDS(AIDS orphaned children and children living with sick adults) in South Africa. She says children can be deeply affected by their experiences. And one of the biggest impacts we see is mental health, their psychological health. So, for example, we see that AIDS orphaned children have very much higher levels of depression, anxiety and stress disorder than children who have a live parent or children whose parents have died of other causes. Lucie Cluver says children have to live with the sense of shame connected to AIDS. Many are abused(欺负) at school or excluded from the community.Children living with sick adults are more likely to live in poverty and face physical and emotional abuse. Also, Lucie Cluver says the children often become the caregivers. Theyre missing school to go and get medication. Theyre often taking them to the toilet, cleaning their wounds or washing their bedclothes. So these kids find it very stressful and upsetting. Theyre very worried about the health and feel responsible for the health of the sick person. Close contact with sick adults can sometimes spread tuberculosis(肺结核) or other diseases. And, as Lucie Cluver said, even when the children are in school, paying attention can be difficult. Its constantly on their minds and really making it difficult for them to do well at school. She calls for testing more children for tuberculosis. She also calls for giving more parents the drugs needed to keep them healthy longer with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.There are programs to help children, but there is “far more to be done.” Interventions(干预治疗) and support groups are “urgently needed” for those orphaned by AIDS or living with sick adults. But the evidence for which interventions are effective “is still thin”.72. The topic of the passage is _.A. children of AIDS doing badly at schoolB. more and more children suffering from AIDSC. children of AIDS facing mental problemsD. an increasing number of people dying of AIDS73. According to Lucie Cluver, AIDS orphaned children have very much higher levels of depression mainly because they _.A. have a sense of shame connected to AIDSB. cannot focus their attention on study at schoolC. are more likely to be affected with tuberculosisD. often have to miss school to look after their sick parents74. We can infer from the last paragraph that _.A. enough has been done for children of AIDSB. interventions prove very effective for children of AIDSC. nothing can be done to help children except interventionsD. interventions may be useful for helping children of AIDS75. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The first case of AIDS occurred 30 years ago.B. Children whose parents are infected with AIDS often help with housework.C. Children whose parents have died of causes other than AIDS dont have stress disorder.D. Children dont have psychological problems when their parents are still alive with HIV.【参考答案】72. C 73. A 74.

B2020高考英语：定语从句（附解析）1 Ive read many stories of Lei Feng，_this is the most touching one.AwhoBof whichCof whom Dthat答案 B 考查定语从句用法。句意：我读过很多雷锋的故事，其中这个故事最令人感动。先行词为stories，代入定语从句后为：This is the most touching one of the_stories.由此可见先行词在定语从句中作介词of的宾语，先行词(stories)表示“物”，故排除C项。2Reading books，_takes the reader to other worlds，is a wonderful way to enjoy life.Athat BwhatCas Dwhich答案 D 考查非限制性定语从句。句意：读书是一种享受生活的好方法，它把读者带到其他的世界中。先行词是reading books，代入定语从句后为：Reading books takes the reader to other worlds.先行词在定语从句中作主语，且该从句为非限制性定语从句，故用which引导。3This was returned because the person_this letter was addressed had died threeyears ago.Ato whom Bto whichCwhich Dwhom答案 A 考查定语从句。句意：信件被退回来了，因为收件人三年前就去世了。address this letter to sb.把这封信寄给某人。4On the second floor there are two rooms，_is usedas a meeting room.Athe larger of whichBone of themCthe larger one of thatDthe largest of which答案 A 句意：在二楼有两个房间，其中较大的那个被用作会议室。句中没有连接词，可知逗号后为定语从句，the larger of whichand the larger of themand the larger of two rooms。B项变为and one of them才正确；定语从句中，若介词置于引导词前，则不能用that而用which，所以C项也不正确。5Do you have anything to say for yourselves?Yes，theres one point_we must insist on.Awhy BwhereChow D/答案 D the point作介词on的宾语，因此应选用关系代词或者省略。6Following the girl，we went into a hall，on_walls hung a few pictures of somefamous scientists.Aits BwhichCwhose Dthose答案 C 考查定语从句。分析句子成分可知，walls与先行词hall存在所属关系，因此关系词应该使用whose。7These old pictures bring to their mind the college days_they spent together，_life was hard but happy。Awhen；whose Bwhich；whoseCwhich；when Dwhen；which答案 C 句意：这些旧照片把他们的思绪带回了他们一起度过的大学时光，那时生活艰苦但愉快。此题考查the college days为先行词的两个定语从句，第一空：which在从句中作spent的宾语；第二空：when在定语从句中作状语，将其代入后为：In the college days life was hard but happy。8Everyone will go through lifes stages of ups and downs，_selfrespect plays a keyrole in the maturity of a person.Awhen BwhichCas Dthat答案 A 考查定语从句。句意：每个人都将经历人生的浮沉阶段，其间，自尊在一个人的成熟过程中起着关键作用。根据句意可知，后半句是定语从句，when在从句中作状语。9There were several messages from people，most of_I didnt know，on my answering machine when I got home.Athose BwhichCwhom Dthem答案 C 考查定语从句。分析句式结构可知，如果选择A、D两项，则构成独立的分句，缺少连接词；B项关系代词which只能指代物。C项whom引导定语从句，修饰先行词people，并在从句中作of的宾语。10The reason_h
