It was 1994. But I can remember my mothers words as if 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 our 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 buy even food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling pletely lost, the teachers 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 how people reacted 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 put 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 pletely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at a 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.( )49.

DAfrica is now facing many problems. People are suffering(遭受) from a shortage(短缺) of food. They do not have enough health care. Deserts (沙漠) are spreading (扩大) in many places. In Africa millions of people starved (饿) to death, and two thirds of them were children. Harry Belafonte, a famous singer in America, felt sad when he saw a film about the starving people in Africa. He said to himself, I should do something to help them. What can I do? He thought of a plan to gather the stars from the music world and make a special record. The money from the record would help the starving people in Africa. Those famous singers and musicians were always very busy. How can you gather them? everyone said to Belafonte. But they were willing to e to the event(活动) from all over the country. Then who wrote the words and music for the record? During the Christmas holidays in 1984, Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie were writing the words and music for the record at Jackson s home in Los Angeles. They often talked about the music far into the night. When they finished the music, they called it We Are the World. On the evening of January 28th, 1985 ,forty -five superstars made a historical(历史性的) recording in a Hollywood studio(演播室). Everyone should do something active like this, said Cyndi Lauper. We have to be the voice, Stevie Wonere said, to help those people that have lost their future. A sign was put at the door of the studio: Please cheek your ego (自我) at the door! At 10 P.M. they began their work. They finally finished recording at 8 A.M. that morning. Just at that moment Diana Ross sat down with tears in her eyes and said, I just don t want this to end! On April 5, more than 800 radio stations all over the world played We Are The World at the same time.( )53. What did Harry Belafonte think he should do? A.

She wanted to have a good rest.E Like fine food, good writing is something we approach with pleasure and enjoy from the first taste to the last. And good writers, like good cooks, do not suddenly appear full-blown. Quite the opposite, just as the cook has to undergo a particular training, mastering the skills of his trade, the writer must sit at his desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purpose isschoolwork, matters of business, or purely social munication. You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort, the more effective the writing, and the more rewarding. There are still some faraway places in the world where you might find a public scribe to do your business or social writing for you, for money. There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have the service of that rare kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than a quick note to work from. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves. We have to write school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to put words to papers. It would be difficult to count the number of such words, messages, letters, and reports put into mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figures must be extremely large. What is more, everyone who writes expects, or at least hopes whatever he writes will be read, from first word to last, not just thrown into some “letters-to-be-read” files or into a wastepaper basket. This is the reason we bend our efforts toward learning and practicing the skills of interesting, effective writing. ( )57. In this passage, good writing is pared to fine food because _. A. both are enjoyable B. both are hard to learnC. both are necessary to lifeD. both take a long time to prepare( )58. according to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Writing skills are less important than experience. B. A good writer should have his own way of writing. C. A good writer should learn to write all kinds of articles. D. The more efforts one makes, the more money one can earn. ( )59. The author thinks that the most important reason for us to practice writing skills is _. A. to earn our living B. to attract others to readC. to do daily reports easilyD. to bee good secretaries( )60. The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to _. A. ment and blame B. introduce and describeC. explain and persuade D. interest and inform四、单词拼写（10分）61WTO stands for World Trade _(组织).62.
