Infection of AIDS
According to a report of the World Health Organization,this year will see 2.6 million deaths from AIDS,the highest yearly international total since the disease began to take hold in the late 1970s, despite questionable antiretro-viral drugs（抗逆转录酶病毒药）that staved off AIDS deaths in the richer countries.
As things stood,the number of deaths was likely to increase for many years before peaking. The report said about half of all people who acquired HIV become infected before they turned 25 and usually died before their 35th birthdays of AIDS,which destroys the body's immune methods.
Although ninety-five percent of people with HIV live in the developing world,battling HIV rates was still a challenge in the developed countries of the West,where there are"very worrying facts" that safe sex practices are dropping among gays.
While AIDS deaths in the United States dropped by 42 percent between 1996 and 1997,the figure dropped by only half that between 1997 and last year.
The report added that in Eastern Europe and Central Asia,the number of infected people had risen by a third this year,to 360,000.
This was mainly due to an increase in the use of infected needles to inject drugs in Russia and the Ukraine. More than 2,700 cases of HIV were reported in Moscow in the fitst nine months of this year.
Although cases of HIV remain relatively low in the Middle East,increasing use of injected drugs accounted for two thirds of new HIV cases in Bahrian last year,half in Iran and more than a third in Tunisia.Which of the following is not stated in the passage?
A:Nearly half of the people were infected with HIV before they were in their middle twenties.
B:HIV is no longer threatening in Western countries.
C:The majority of people carrying HIV live in developing countries.
D:The peak of AIDS death has not arrived yet.答案：B解析：文章第一段提到对艾滋病有用的新药被用到生活在富裕国家的人身上，并不是说任何地方患艾滋病的人都能使用。因此选项B的表述是错误的。选项A、C及D的表述都是正确的。
文章第二段第一句提到艾滋病的死亡人数在达到峰值前会一直增加很多年。因此只有选项C是正确的。
本文第二段最后一句解释艾滋病是通过破坏患者身体的免疫力导致病人死亡的，由此我们可以判断只有选项A是正确的。
文章第三段讲到同HJV感染率对杭即使在发达国家也仍是一个挑战，因此选项B的表述是不正确的，而其他三个选项文章中都提到过。
文章第五、六段解释了东欧和中亚HIV感染人数增加的原因是越来越多的人用感染病毒的针头注射毒品，因而选项C是正确的。 -

U.S.Signs Global Tobacco Treaty 1 The United States has taken the first step toward approving a global tobacco treaty that promises to help control the deadly effects of tobacco use throughout the world.Health and Human Services Secretary, Tommy Thompson, signed the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control(FCTC)this week at the United Nations.The Senate must still approve the treaty before the U.S.can implement its provisions.
2 The FCTC was developed by the World Health Organization and approved by members of the World Health Assembly,including the United States,last year.Countries that ratify it would be required to enact strict tobacco control policies.
3 For instance,cigarettes sold in those countries would have to have health warnings on at least 30% of the front and back of every pack.The treaty calls for higher tobacco taxes,restrictions on smoking in public places,and more promotion of tobacco prevention and cessation programs.It also requires bans on tobacco advertising,though there are some exceptions for countries like the United States,where the Constitution prohibits such an outright ban.
4 The impact of the treaty could be huge.The World Health Organization estimates that tobacco use kills nearly 5 million people worldwide every year.In the U.S.alone,about 440,000 people die each year from tobacco-related illnesses;about one-third of all cancers in the U.S.are caused by tobacco use.If current trends continue,WHO estimates,by 2025 tobacco will kill 10 million people each year.
5 The treaty must be ratified by at least 40 countries before it can take effect.So far,109 countries have signed it,and 1 2 have ratified it.It is hoped that the FCTC will greatly help to reduce deaths______.
A:have ratified it
B:approving it
C:implement its provisions
D:restrict smoking in public places
E:caused by tobacco use
F:including higher tobacco taxes答案：E解析：文章第一段主要讲美国朝着批准一项全球性烟草协议迈出了第一步，这一步指的是美国本周在联合国签署了烟草控制框架性协议。故选B。
文章第二段讲烟草控制框架性协议是由世界卫生组织制定的，并且是在去年由世界卫生大会的成员国批准的。因此该段主要讲的是它的形成过程。故选D。
文章第三段列举了烟草控制框架性协钱时已通过此协议的国家的一些具体要求。故选A。
文章第四段通过列举吸烟所造成的危害来说明实施烟草控制框架性协议将产生的影响。故选E。
由文章第一段第一句话“The United States has taken the first step toward approving a global tobacco treaty…”可知，签署烟草控制框架性协议只是朝着批准该协议迈出的第一步。故选B。
文章第二段最后一句话讲到通过烟草控制框架性协议的国家必须实施严格的烟草控制措施，而文章第三段列举了一些具体应实施的措施，其中包括限制在公共场所吸烟。故选D。
文章第四段讲到，实施烟草控制框架性协议将产生巨大的影响，并列举了吸烟所造成的巨大危害。由此可见人们希望该协议的实施可以大大减少吸烟所造成的危害，尤其是大量的死亡。故选E。
由文章第五段可知，已经签署烟草控制框架性协议的国家的数量大大超过了批准该协议的国家的数量。故选A。 -

问答题Practice 2 “To be a Negro in America is to hope against hope,” wrote Martin Luther King in the last year Of his life. The advance the black man in the United States, from the position of slave to that of proud and equal citizen, is slow. The black man’s hopes have often ended in despair. “Of the good things in life he has about one-half those Of whites；Of the bad he has twice those Of whites, ”wrote Dr. King. Half of all black people lived in poor houses. They’re received about half as much pay as whites. They had twice as many of their people out Of work and twice as many babies dead for lack Of proper care. Allowing for their numbers, twice as many black men as white fought in the war in Vietnam, and twice as many died in that war. Most black people sti11 did work that was unpleasant and poorly paid.

“在美国,作一个黑人就等于在无望中抱存一线希望,”马丁·路德·金在他生命的最后一年这样写道。在美国,黑人的社会地位由奴隶上升为自豪和平等的公民,这个发展历程是缓慢的。黑人的希望常常以绝望而告终。
“他所拥有的生活中的幸福只有大约白人的一半;而他所经受的痛苦却是白人的两倍,”马丁·路德·金博士写道。黑人中的一半都住在破旧的房子里,他们的工资大约是白人的一半。他们拥有两倍于白人的失业人数。他们因缺少适当的照顾而死亡的婴儿是白人的两倍。考虑一下这些数字,两倍于白人的黑人男子在越南战争中作战,两倍于白人的黑人在那场战争中死亡,大多数黑人仍然做着那些低级、收入很低的工作。这是他们唯一能够找到的工作。解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 6 If there's a threat of dangerous deflation—a general fall in prices—the causes lie as much in Europe and Japan as in the United States. The inevitable collapse of America's speculative boom need not have been especially damaging if the world's other advanced economies were healthy. Their expanding appetite for imports would have bolstered the United States and so-called emerging market countries, from Brazil to South Korea. The trouble is that other advanced economies aren't healthy. Deflation could emerge from simultaneous slumps in the world's three major economies. Prices drop because there's too little global demand chasing too much global supply—everything from steel to shoes. Japan's ills are well known. Its banks are awash in bad loans. Less understood (at least in the United States) is the fact that Europe's troubles stem significantly from Germany. Germany is Europe's “sick man”, just as Japan is Asia's. Only 15 years ago, these countries seemed poised to assume leadership of the world economy. Now they are dragging it down.正确答案： 【参考译文】
如果说存在危险的通货紧缩——即价格普遍下降——的威胁,其原因在于美国,同样也在于欧洲和日本。倘若世界其他先进国家的经济是健康的,美国的投机性暴涨不可避免的崩盘不一定具有特别的破坏性。这些国家越来越大的进口欲望本可以促进美国以及从巴西到韩国的所谓新兴市场国家的经济,问题是其他先进国家的经济并不是健康的。
世界上三个经济大国同步衰退,就有可能出现通货紧缩。价格下跌是因为全球的供应——从钢铁到鞋子的一切货物——大量过剩,而全球的需求量却很小。日本经济上的弊病是众所周知的。日本银行的不良贷款泛滥成灾。人们不大了解的是(至少在美国),欧洲的弊端主要源自德国。德国是欧洲的“病人”,犹如日本是亚洲的病人。仅仅15年前,这两个国家似乎已准备好统领世界经济,然而现在它们却在拖世界经济的后腿。解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 8 The United States has long been known as a “melting pot”, because many of its people are descended from settlers who came from all over the world to make their homes in the new land. The first immigrants in American history came from England and the Netherlands. Attracted by reports of great economic opportunities and religious and political freedom, immigrants from many other countries flocked to the United States in increasing numbers, reaching a peak in the years 1880—1914. Between 1820 and 1980 the United States admitted almost 50 million immigrants. Some 1,360,000 American Indians, descendants of North America's first inhabitants, now reside in the United States. Most live in the West, but many are in the south and north central areas. Of the more than 300 separate tribes, the largest is the Navaho in the Southwest. Black people were first brought to America from Africa as slaves. Their descendants now make up nearly 12 percent of the population.
