听力原文： 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: "Carol, 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 anymore, 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 medication for him, and 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 were drowned 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 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 didn't want to call attention to AIDS. I do.

(30)

A．He told no one about his disease.

B．He worked hard to pay for his medication.

C．He depended on the nurses in his final days.

D．He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill.

Task 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1.The 5 questions or unfinished statements

Task 2

Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.

I found my father a very hard man to understand when I was young. He was very short and thin and had large blue eyes. I could have loved him as I did my mother, but he seemed to hold us off so that we could not approach him or sit on his knee as love to do. I believe he had a hard life as a child, and I know that he left school at the age of ten and started to work. This made him an unsociable man, unfriendly even to the people closest to him. I never knew him to have a close friend as the other men did.

Everything he did had to be precise. If he chopped the sticks for the fire, each stick would be the same length and thickness as all the others, and they would all be stacked (堆放) without one out of place. His motto (座右铭) was "If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well". In our household his word was law and nobody dared dispute it.

My father would take off his clothes and get into bed on Saturday afternoons, leaving my mother to mend his working clothes. This she disliked very much, for the clothes were dirty from the work he had been doing and she hated handling anything that was not clean.

The writer found it difficult to understand her father because he ______.

A．rejected affection

B．looked distant

C．ill-treated the family

D．hated keeping company with children

听力原文： I grew up in a small town. My father raised chickens and ran a construction company. When I was 10 years old, my dad gave me the responsibility of feeding chickens and cleaning up the stable. He believed it was important to me to learn responsibility and moods from those jobs.

When I was 22, I found a job in New York at a country music club. I washed dishes and cooked from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and then went on stage and sang until2:00 in the morning. I soon became known as a singing cook. I had been refused so many times by record companies that it was easy to be discouraged.

One night, a woman executive from a company named Warner Brothers Records came to hear me sing. When the show was over, we sat down and talked. Several weeks later, my manager received a phone call--Warner Brothers wanted to sign me to a record deal. I released my first record in July, 1987. It was sold over 2 million copies.

My best efforts had gone into every job I ever held. It was the sense of responsibility that made me feel like a man. Knowing that I had done my best filled me with pride. I still feet that way today, even though I have become a well-known singer.

(33)

A．At the age of 10.

B．At tile age of 22.

C．When he was known as a singing cook.

D．After he found a job in New York.

THE PAINTING

0 In the village where I grew up, everyone knew an old man

00 who spent all of his time with painting. People who lived in the

village used to be admire his work and he often gave paintings

to friends of his. If they offered him money, he would never

take it because he said he painted for a pleasure. He gave one of

the paintings to my father, who actually wasn't very interested

in art. One day when I was playing, I came across from it in the

bin outside our house. I have hid it in our garage where my father

couldn't find it because I really would liked it, and then I forgot

all about it. Since years later I found it again. By that time the

old man had been died and people had started to recognise his

paintings as great works of art. They were now worth a lot of

money. An art gallery made me an offer of ￡5,000 for this

painting and I nearly sold it, but then I decided not to do. When

I look at the painting held hanging on the wall of my sitting-room,

it reminds to me of my childhood, and of the man who could

have been so much rich but didn't really want to make money.

"Amy, your favorite, " he said, offering me the tender fish cheek.I wanted to disappear.

At the end of the meal, my father leaned back and burped(打嗝)loudly, thanking my mother for her fine cooking."It' s a police Chinese custom to show you are satisfied, "explained my father to our astonished guests.Robert was looking down at his plate with a reddish face.The minister managed to bring up a quiet burp.I was shocked into silence for the rest of the night.

After everyone had gone, my mother said to me, "You want to be the shame as American girls on the outside. "She handed me an early gift. It was a miniskirt. "But inside you must always be Chinese. You must be proud you are different. Your only shame is to have shame. "

听力原文：My daughter and I had been searching for the origins of my grandfather, Alfred De

听力原文： My daughter and I had been searching for the origins of my grandfather, Alfred Denny, for several years. We had nothing definite except that he married Minerva Ann Hamilton in Michigan in 1860.

When I was a small child, my father had given me the address of his "Aunt Maggie," Mrs. William Rarick of Everson, Washington. She and I exchanged letters for about three years while I was still a youngster. My father died without giving any further information about his relatives.

About eighty-five years after my correspondence with Aunt Maggie, I decided to see if I could pick up the trail and find out exactly how she fit into the family puzzle. By then I was in my nineties so I knew the odds were not on my side, but I called the telephone operator for a number of anybody by the name of Rarick in the town of Everson, Washington. She told me they have a Charles Rarick and an L. Rarick. I asked her to ring Charles, but there was no answer so I asked her to try L. Rarick.

A woman answered and I said, "Hello, this is Carleton Denny. I am trying to locate relatives of Margaret Rarick."

The lady on the telephone took a long breath and hesitantly said, "She was my grandmother."

I learned that Aunt Maggie was my grandfather's half sister. The "L" stood for Luella, who still used her maiden name. I had found my family.

Where and when was my grandfather married？

A．In Washington in 1885.

B．In Washington in 1860.

C．In Michigan in 1885.

D．In Michigan in 1860.
