2．In my profession as an educator and health care provider，I have worked with numerous children infected with the virus that causes AIDS．The relationships that I have had with these special kids have been gifts in my life．They have taught me so many things，but I have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages． Let me tell you about Tyler．
Tyler was born infected with HIV：his mother was also infected．From the very beginning of his life，he was dependent on medications to enable him to survive．When he was five，he had a tube surgically inserted in a vein in his chest．This tube was connected to a pump，which he carried in a small backpack on his back．Medications were hooked up to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream．At times，he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing．
Tyler wasn't willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease．It was not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard，wearing his medicine-laden backpack and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon．All of us who knew Tyler marveled at his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him．Tyler's mom often teased him by telling him that he moved so fast she needed to dress him in red．That way，when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard，she could quickly spot him．
This dreaded disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little dynamo like Tyler．He grew quite ill and，unfortunately，so did his HIV-infected mother．When it became apparent that he wasn't going to survive，Tyler's mom talked to him about death．She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too，and that she would be with him soon in heaven．
A few days before his death，Tyler beckoned me over to his hospital bed and whispered，"I might die soon．I'm not scared．When I die，please dress me in red．Mom promised she's coming to heaven，too．I'll be playing when she gets there，and I want to make sure she can find me．"

分析 本文是一篇記敘文，在文中作者講述泰勒的故事．泰勒出生時(shí)候就感染了艾滋病毒，在隨后的日子里他不得不靠藥物來維持生命，但是盡管如此他仍然快樂的享受著自己的童年，勇敢地面對(duì)痛苦和死亡．作者認(rèn)為作為一名老師和醫(yī)療服務(wù)人員自己從這些攜帶艾滋病毒的兒童身上學(xué)到了很多．
解答 64．B 推理判斷題．根據(jù)最后一段泰勒在死前找到作者所說的話，尤其是"I might die soon．I'm notscared．"可知，泰勒知道自己要死了，但他不害怕，他對(duì)于死亡的態(tài)度是樂觀的，縱觀全文也可看出泰勒是個(gè)樂觀快樂的孩子，故選B．
65．C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)最后一段的"When I die，please dress me in red．Mom promised she's coming to heaven，too．I'll beplaying when she gets there，and I want to make sure she can find me．"可知，泰勒請(qǐng)求作者在他死后為他穿上紅色的衣服，是因?yàn)樗麐寢屧_玩笑為了能找到他要給他穿紅色衣服，由此判斷他讓作者給他穿紅色的衣服，是為了在天堂他的媽媽能找到他，故選C．
66．D 主旨大意題．根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知：當(dāng)泰勒在院子里玩耍的時(shí)候，他媽媽開玩笑為了能找到他要給他穿紅色衣服，為了他在天堂玩耍時(shí)，媽媽可以認(rèn)出他，泰勒臨死前也請(qǐng)求作者在他死后為他穿上紅色的衣服．所以選項(xiàng)D"穿著紅色的衣服死去"是最好的標(biāo)題．
67．B 詞義猜測(cè)題．根據(jù)上文的"It was not unusual to find him playing andracing around his backyard"可知，泰勒經(jīng)常玩耍和跑步，所以他是個(gè)很喜歡運(yùn)動(dòng)的孩子；結(jié)合畫線的句子可知，這種可怕的疾病最終還是拖垮了他，即使他是一個(gè)非常有活力的人，故選B．
點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是人物故事類閱讀，主要考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題．做題時(shí)，首先看題目要求我們理解什么細(xì)節(jié)，找出關(guān)鍵詞，運(yùn)用尋讀的技巧迅速在文章里找出相應(yīng)的段落、句子或短語．認(rèn)真比較選項(xiàng)和文中細(xì)節(jié)，在正確理解細(xì)節(jié)的前提下，確定最佳答案．
