1．One important aim of our school is to prepare us for the future ________ we can face all the challenges with confidence.
A．in that B．even if
C．so that D．as if
C 解析：考查状语从句。句意：我们学校的一个重要目的就是让我们为未来做好准备，以便我们能够满怀信心地面对所有挑战。根据句意可知，这里用so that 引导目的状语从句，表示“以便”。
2．A baby born with the virus that causes AIDS appears ________， scientists announced on Sunday, describing it is only the world’s second reported cure.
A．cured B．being cured
C．to be cured D．to have been cured
D 解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：科学家们星期天宣布：一个生来就携带艾滋病病毒的婴儿似乎被治愈了，这是世界上已报道的第二例。 appear to do sth.是固定句式，根据句意可知，这个孩子似乎“已经被治愈了”， A baby与cure之间是动宾关系并且动作已经完成，所以选D项。
