Sitting and eating quietly on his father’s lap, the 18-month-old was oblivious to the infection in his veins(血管).But his father a strong farmer, knew only too well. It was the same one that killed his wife four month ago, leaving him alone with four children. The man started to cry.
“When my wife died, I thought ,well, it is from God, but at least I have him.” he said. “Then I learned he is sick, too. I asked if there was medicine and the doctors said no.
HIV and AIDS have quietly arrived in this land. They remain almost completely underground, hidden in ignorance(无知)and shame.
The father of the infected 18-month-old said his village teacher had never talked about AIDS. Nearly a year of tests on the father have found no HIV, and the old children are clear, but his smallest child tested positive(阳性)at ten months.
Six years earlier, his wife lost a baby and have several transfusions in Pakistan. After she became sick and was found to be infected, “I told the family her blood was not good and to avoid eating with her.” he said. “And I told them not to kiss his son, he burst into tears.
“I don’t know what to do,” he said; “I have sacrificed so much since my marriage.. I mortgaged (抵押)half my land to pay for her medical care.”
The father can do little for his son but keep his secret. There are no AIDS treatment centers in Afghanistan, only a single secret clinic in the capital that just monitors the disease, and no drugs are available.

Sitting and eating quietly on his father’s lap, the 18-month

小题1:D
小题2:D
小题3:C
小题4:B

文章大意:在阿富汗,以为无知以及其他方面的忌讳,艾滋病患者要么不知这种疾病疾病的危害,要么而不敢公开自己患病的实情。
小题1:猜测词义题。由后面的“But his father---knew only too well。It was the same one that killed his wife---”可知选D。阿富汗一个18个月大的孩子坐在他父亲的膝盖上安静的吃东西,很显然,他并不知道他患上了一种可怕而致命的传染病。但他的父亲,一个身材魁梧的阿富汗农民,却对此一清二楚。
小题2:细节推断题。从第一段和第二段的信息可知,这个男人的妻子四个月前死于艾滋病,如今小儿子也身患此病,且没有药物治疗,所以他伤心地哭了。
小题3:推理判断题。从第五段这个男人所说的话“I told the family---tell them not to kiss the child”可知他不知道艾滋病的传播途径,从而反应了他对艾滋病不甚了解。
小题4:细节判断题。有文章最后一段第一句“The father can do little for his son but keep his secret。”对于他的小儿子,他除了保守他感染艾滋病的秘密外,几乎束手无策。可知B项与事实相符。
