    Attitudes to AIDS Now

    Most people say that the USA is making progress in fighting AIDS,but they don't know there's no cure
    and strongly disagree that" the AIDS epidemic(流行)is over,"a new survey finds.
    The findings,released Thursday by the Kaiser Family Foundation,reassure activists who have worried
    that public concern about AIDS might disappear in light of recent news about advances in treatment and
    declines in deaths.
    "While people are very optimistic about the advances,they're still realistic about the fact that there is no
    cure",says Sophia Chang,director of HIV programs at the foundation.
    The Kaiser survey, like a recent USA TODAY Gallup Poll(民意测验),does find that the number of
    people ranking AIDS as the country's top health problem has fallen.In the Kaiser poll,38%say it's the top
    concern,down from 44% in a 1996 poll;in the Gallup Poll,29% say AIDS is No.1,down from 41% in 1992
    and 67% in 1987.
    Other findings from Kaiser,which polled more than 1,200 adults in September and October and asked
    additional questions of another 1,000 adults in November:
    52% say the country is making progress against AIDS,up from 32%in 1995.
    51% say the government spends too little on AIDS.
    86% correctly say AIDS drugs can now lengthen lives;an equal number correctly say that the drugs are
    not cures.
    67% incorrectly say that AIDS deaths increased or stayed the same in the past year;24% know deaths
    fell.
    Daniel Zingale,director of AIDS Action Council,says,"I'm encouraged that the American people are
    getting the message that the AIDS epidemic isn't over. I hope the decision-makers in Washington are getting
    the same message... We have seen signs of complacency(得意)."

    Most people in the USA believe that________.
    A:advances have been made in treating AIDS
    B:AIDS is no longer an epidemic
    C:AIDS is killing more people than before
    D:there is still no cure for AIDS

    答案:A
    解析:
    由文章第一段第一句可知A项正确。making progress相当于advances, in fighting相当 于in treating。
    由文章第二段第一句中的“reassure activists who have worried that public concern about AIDS might disappear”可知选A。disappear相当于not concern anymore。
    由第四段中的“Kaiser poll...down from...”和“Gallup poll...down from...”可知人们的关 注度都下降了,故选A。
    由第七段“51% say the government spends too little on AIDS”可知选C。
    message在语境中意为“观点”'C项与此意相近。 第三篇 文章主要讲述了Kazi的成功历程。

    Why India Needs Its Dying Vultures

    The vultures(秃鹰)in question may look ugly and threatening , but the sudden sharp decline in three
    species of India'S vultures is producing alarm rather than celebration,and it presents the world with a new
    kind of environmental problem.The dramatic__________(51)in vulture numbers is causing widespread
    disruption to people living in the__________(52)areas as the birds.It is also causing serious public health
    problems__________(53)the Indian sub-continent.
    While their reputation and appearance may be unpleasant to many Indians,vultures have___________(54)
    played a very important role in keeping towns and villages all over India___________(55).It is because they
    feed on dead cows.In India,cows are sacred animals and are___________(56) left in the open when they
    die in thousands upon thousands every year.
    The disappearance of the vultures has___________(57)an explosion in the numbers of wild dogs
    feeding on the remains of these___________(58)animals. There are fears that rabies(狂犬症)may increase as
    a result. And this terrifying disease may ultimately(最终)affect humans in the region,___________(59)wild
    dogs are its main carriers.Rabies could also spread to other animal species, __________(60)an even
    greater problem in the future.
    The need for action is___________(61),so an emergency project has been launched to find a solution
    to this serious vulture problem?Scientists are trying to___________(62)the disease causing the birds'
    deaths and,if possible,develop a cure.
    Large-scale vulture___________(63)were first noticed at the end of the l980s in India. A population
    survey at that time showed that the three species of vultures had declined___________(64)over 90 per
    cent. All three species are now listed as"critically endangered".As most vultures lay only single eggs and
    ___________(65)about five years to reach maturity,reversing their population decline will be a long and dif-
    ficult exercise.

    _________(53)
    A:above
    B:across
    C:with
    D:through

    答案:B
    解析:
    由本段第一句“… but the sudden sharp decline in three species of India ' s vultures...”可缸 此处是说秃鹰数量急剧下降。
    由空后的"as”可知此处是考查固定搭配hte same as (和……相同的)。这里是说“和这些鸟住在同一地区的 人。
    此处只能填across(在……各处,遍及),此处across the Indian sub-continent 表示"整个 印度次大陆"。above(在……上方)with (伴随,和……一起),through(穿越)用在此处均不合适。
    第一段说秃鹰的急剧减少是一种警示而非值得庆贺的事,这给当地居民的生活带来了 很大的不便并造成了新的环境问题。这说明秃鹰在保护该区的环境上作用很大,所以秃鹰 不会是很少(rarely/seldom)起作用,或最近(recently)才起作用。只有选long(长期以来一直) 起作用才合乎上下文的意思。
    下文说秃鹰以牛的尸体为食,秃鹰的急剧减少,导致同样以牛的尸体为实物的野狗大量繁殖,而狗是狂犬病毒的主要携带者,所以说秃鹰的存在对整个印度城乡环境的清洁起了很 大的作用。其他选项均不符合题意。smelly意为“难闻的,有臭味的”。
    文章说,在印度,牛是一种神圣的动物,每年有成千上万头牛死亡后尸体暴露在野外。既然是这样,这些牛的尸体就不会是偶尔(occasionally)、立即(immediately)或几乎不(hardly) 暴露在野外。所以traditionally(历来,传统上)是正确答案。
    本段第一句表达的是因果关系。"The disappearance of the vultures”是因,"an explosion in the numbers of wild dogs feeding on the remains of...”是果。lead to(导致)可以表达因果关 系,所以选A。
    联系上文可知此处的“these…animals”指的是前边的死去的牛。这里是说,以牛的尸体 为食的秃鹰大量减少后,同样以此为食的野狗数量激增。
    前边讲这种可怕的疾病最终可能会影响人类,空后说野狗是这种疾病病毒的主要携带 者,可见前后为因果关系,前边为果,后边是因。since可以表示“因为”,符合语境。
    由后边的“an even greater problem”并联系前文即可确定答案为D。
    从后面的“an emergency project has been launched(已启动了应急方案)”可以推断出要 选的形容词是urgent (紧迫的)。
    科学家们是在寻找引起秃鹰死亡的疾病,如果可能的话找到治愈方法。identify表示 “找到,发现”,符合语境。prove(证明),test (测试),check(核实,检查)不合语境。
    本段说秃鹰数量急剧减少,其中三种已被列为濒危物种。本题选deaths,正好与本段后 面一句“All three species are now listed as 'critically endangered'.”所表达的意思相照应。本句 的意思是,大规模的秃鹰死亡于19世纪80年代末在印度首次被注意到。
    在四个选项中,along, on,in明显不合适。by有“到……的程度”的意思。"...the three species of vultures had declined by over 90 per cent”的意思是“……三种秃鹰的数量减少了 90%以上”。
    “花费或用多少时间”英语的常用表达法是“……take+时间+其他”。故take是正确答 案。consume指“消耗”,虽也可指消耗时间,但用在这儿不如take合适。

    Life Expectancy in the Last Hundred Years
    A hundred years ago,life expectancy in developed countries was about 47;in the early 21 st century,men in the United States and the United Kingdom can expect to live to about 74,women to about 80, and these______(51)are rising all the time .What has brought______(52) these changes?When we look at the life______(53)of people 100 years ago,we need to look at the greatest______(54)of the time .In the early 20th century,these were the acute and of-ten______(55)infectious diseases such as smallpox.Many children died very young from these diseases and others,and the weak and elderly were always at risk.

    The killers today can be classed as"lifestyle diseases",which means that it may be possiblem to halt their progress.

    57._________
    A: more deadly
    B: deadly
    C: less deadly
    D: fatal

    答案:C
    解析:
    通过上下文可知此处应为“年龄”。


    bring ahout意为“带来”,bring in意为“赚取,实现”(一定利润),没有bring to这个短语,如果用with,此句话必须变成what has it hrought with these changes才符合语法,但意思就不符合文章了。


    life span是一个固定搭配,意为“寿命”。


    从下一句可以看出此处应指那些不治之症。


    本句举了天花的例子,下一句指出很多孩子死于这些病,所以此处应为一个表严重的词。high是形容词,不能修饰后面的形容词。acute不是比较级,所以and后面也不应用比较级。


    本句后部分说在一些国家这些病已经消失,通过常识得知应该是发达国家。


    本句后部分说在一些国家这些病已经消失,整段都在说明情况好转,故选C。


    冒号后面列举的内容不能统一用其他几个词概括,只能用factor。


    注意这里的which不是非限制定语从句中指代前面一句话的作用,而是指代前面两项内容:卫生的改善和杭生素的发明使用,所以which后的动词不用单三形式。cause 没有这样的语法搭配。


    该选项为固定搭配,意为对某种疾病的预防接种。


    前面说的是对疾病的防范和控制加强,后面说的是整体环境的改善,两者为并列关系,但是And在书面语中不能这样使用,所以只能选in addition。


    整句话的意思是:从基因角度看,人都能活到85岁,但是虽然现在人们寿命确实比以前长了,仍然有一些疾病使得我们不能都活到那个岁数。所以此处应该填一个转折副词。


    those指代流感和艾滋病等靠病毒传播的疾病,those后面的动词是过去分词作定语。spread的过去分词与原形相同。


    本句最后指出一些病越来越年轻化,所以此处应选择younger的反义词。


    obesitv是心脏病和糖尿病年轻化的重要原因,它和心脏病、糖尿病不是并列关系,而是因果关系,所以选择leading to,现在分词作结果状语。

    Our public transportation is not sufficient for the need of the people in our major cities.

    A:additional
    B:efficient
    C:excessive
    D:adequate

    答案:D
    解析:
    本句意思:我们的公共交通运输不能满足大城市里人们的需要。sufficient意为“足够的,充足的”,与adequate(足够的,合乎需求的)意思相近。additional附加的,另外的;efficient高效的;excessive过多的。

    New U. S. Plan for Disease Prevention
    Urging Americans to take responsibility for their health,Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson on Tuesday launched a$15 million program to try to encourage communities to do more to prevent chronic diseases like heart disease,cancer and diabetes(糖尿病).
    The initiative highlights the costs of chronic diseases—the leading causes of death in the United States—and outlines ways that people can prevent them,including better diet and in-creased exercise.
    “In the United States today,7 of 10 deaths and the vast majority of serious illness,disability and health care costs are caused by chronic diseases,”the Health and Human Services Depart-ment said in a statement.
    The causes are often behavioral—smoking,poor eating habits and a lack of exercise.
    “I am convinced that preventing disease by promoting better health is a smart policy choice for our future,”Thompson told a conference held to launch the initiative.
    “Our current health care system is not structured to deal with the rising costs of treating dis-eases that are largely preventable through changes in our lifestyle choices.”
    Thompson said heart disease and strokes will cost the country more than $351 billion in 2003.
    “These leading causes of death for men and women are largely preventable,yet we as a na- tion are not taking the steps necessary for us to lead healthier,longer lives,”he said.
    The $15 million is designed to go to communities to promote prevention,pushing for chan-ges as simple as building sidewalks to encourage people to walk more.
    Daily exercise such as walking can prevent and even reverse heart disease and diabetes,and prevent cancer and strokes.
    The money will also go to community organizations,clinics and nutritionists who are being en-couraged to work together to educate people at risk of diabetes about what they can do to prevent it and encourage more cancer screening.
    The American Cancer Society estimates that half of all cancers can be caught by screening, including Pap tests(巴氏试验)for cervical cancer(宫颈癌), mammograms for breast cancer, colonoscopies(结肠镜检查), and prostate(前列腺的)checks.
    If such cancers were all caught by early screening,the group estimates that the survival rate for cancer would rise to 95 percent.


    A: greater responsibility of the government
    B: less need for input into treatment
    C: higher costs of health care
    D: more lifestyle choices for people

    答案:B
    解析:
    由第三段首句“In the United States today ,7 of 10 deaths and the vast majority of serious illness , disability and health care costs are caused by chronic diseases”可知,A、B两项正确。由第二段的“… people can prevent them , including better diet and increased exercise”和第六段的“diseases that are largely preventable through changes in our lifestyle choices”可知,D项正确。由第四段“The causes are often behavioral—smoking , poor eat-ing habits and a lack of exercise”可知,不健康的生活方式引起了慢性病,而不是慢性病引起了不健康的生活方式,因果关系不能弄错,故C项说法错误。


    由第二段“…including better diet and increased exercise”(改善饮食结构和增加运动)及第四段“… smoking , poor eating habits and a lack of exercise”(抽烟、饮食不平衡、缺乏锻炼)可排除A、B、C三个选项,D项“更加频繁地洗手”在文中没有提及,根据常识可知勤洗手与慢性病无必然联系,故选D。


    由第三段“the vast majority of serious illness , disability and health care costs are caused 1y chronic -I.ny cnronic rnseases…”(因慢性病导致的绝大多数重疾、残疾和健康护理需要巨大花费)及第六段“ …to deal with the rising costs of treating diseases that are largely preventa-ble through changes in our lifestyle choices”可知,漫性病的治疗花费极高,增加资金用于疾病的预防可大大减少用于治疗费用,故选B。


    由首段“… a $ 15 million program to try to encourage communities to do more to pre-vent chronic diseases…”(投入1 ,500万美元用以鼓励各社团更加努力预防各种如心脏病、癌症、糖尿病等慢性疾病)可知,该项目主要用来加强疾病预防,故选A。


    由最后一段“If such cancers were all caught by early screening…the survival rate for cancer would rise to 95 percent”可知,如果癌症越早发现,将有助于提高癌症患者的存活率达95%,也就是降低其死亡率,故选D。

    Head injuries are often fatal, or of sufficient severity to require the hospitalization of victims. But there is a large group of people who sustain head injuries which can go undetected through ordinary medical examination. These are the people who seemingly recover from their injuries but still suffer subtle intellectual and behavioural effects that may seriously impair their ability to work and interact normally with other people. They are the victims of what experts call a “silent epidemic”. Some never lost consciousness and others never even suffered a direct blow to the head, yet brain damage occurred.

    由空后的"as”可知此处是考查固定搭配hte same as (和……相同的)。这里是说“和这些鸟住在同一地区的 人。
    此处只能填across(在……各处,遍及),此处across the Indian sub-continent 表示"整个 印度次大陆"。above(在……上方)with (伴随,和……一起),through(穿越)用在此处均不合适。
    第一段说秃鹰的急剧减少是一种警示而非值得庆贺的事,这给当地居民的生活带来了 很大的不便并造成了新的环境问题。这说明秃鹰在保护该区的环境上作用很大,所以秃鹰 不会是很少(rarely/seldom)起作用,或最近(recently)才起作用。只有选long(长期以来一直) 起作用才合乎上下文的意思。
    下文说秃鹰以牛的尸体为食,秃鹰的急剧减少,导致同样以牛的尸体为实物的野狗大量繁殖,而狗是狂犬病毒的主要携带者,所以说秃鹰的存在对整个印度城乡环境的清洁起了很 大的作用。其他选项均不符合题意。smelly意为“难闻的,有臭味的”。
    文章说,在印度,牛是一种神圣的动物,每年有成千上万头牛死亡后尸体暴露在野外。既然是这样,这些牛的尸体就不会是偶尔(occasionally)、立即(immediately)或几乎不(hardly) 暴露在野外。所以traditionally(历来,传统上)是正确答案。
    本段第一句表达的是因果关系。"The disappearance of the vultures”是因,"an explosion in the numbers of wild dogs feeding on the remains of...”是果。lead to(导致)可以表达因果关 系,所以选A。
    联系上文可知此处的“these…animals”指的是前边的死去的牛。这里是说,以牛的尸体 为食的秃鹰大量减少后,同样以此为食的野狗数量激增。
    前边讲这种可怕的疾病最终可能会影响人类,空后说野狗是这种疾病病毒的主要携带 者,可见前后为因果关系,前边为果,后边是因。since可以表示“因为”,符合语境。
    由后边的“an even greater problem”并联系前文即可确定答案为D。
    从后面的“an emergency project has been launched(已启动了应急方案)”可以推断出要 选的形容词是urgent (紧迫的)。
    科学家们是在寻找引起秃鹰死亡的疾病,如果可能的话找到治愈方法。identify表示 “找到,发现”,符合语境。prove(证明),test (测试),check(核实,检查)不合语境。
    本段说秃鹰数量急剧减少,其中三种已被列为濒危物种。本题选deaths,正好与本段后 面一句“All three species are now listed as 'critically endangered'.”所表达的意思相照应。本句 的意思是,大规模的秃鹰死亡于19世纪80年代末在印度首次被注意到。
    在四个选项中,along, on,in明显不合适。by有“到……的程度”的意思。"...the three species of vultures had declined by over 90 per cent”的意思是“……三种秃鹰的数量减少了 90%以上”。
    “花费或用多少时间”英语的常用表达法是“……take+时间+其他”。故take是正确答 案。consume指“消耗”,虽也可指消耗时间,但用在这儿不如take合适。

    Need for Emphasis on Treatment
    AIDS programs in developing countries put too little emphasis on treatment,the World Health Organization said Tuesday,asking for more small community-based clinics to be opened to treat HIV-infected people?
    An estimated 36 million to 46 million people are living with AIDS,two-thirds of them in Africa,but only 440,000 people in developing countries were receiving treatment by the end of 2003,the UN health agency said in its annual report.
    "Without treatment,all of them will die a premature and in most cases painful death,"the WHO said in the? 169-page World Health Report.
    WHO Director General Lee Jong-wook said community-based treatment should be added to disease pre-vention and care for sufferers in AIDS programs.
    "Future generations will judge our time in large part by our response to the AIDS disease,"Lee said."By tackling it decisively we will also be building health systems that can meet the health needs of today and tomorrow.This is a historic opportunity we cannot afford to miss,"he added.
    Antiretroviral drugs enable people hit by AIDS to live longer.The annual cost of treatment,which was about$10,000 when the drugs were first developed,has dropped to about$150.
    Treatment programs also help AIDS prevention efforts,the report said,citing great demands for testing and counseling where treatment has been made available.
    Good counseling in turn leads to more effective prevention in those who are uninfected,and significantly reduces the potential for HIV carriers to pass on the infection,the report said.
    Since its discovery in the l980s,more than 20 million have died of AIDS,mostly in poor countries?

    According to Lee,our response to the AIDS disease is
    A:a matter of great significance
    B:a matter of little significance
    C:overemphasized
    D:timely

    答案:A
    解析:
    本题为事实细节分析题。从文章第二段“Anestimated36millionto46millionpeoplearelivingwithAIDS,two-thirdsoftheminAfrica,butonly440,000peopleindevelopingcountrieswerereceivingtreatmentbytheendof2003…”可知,在非洲艾滋病患者高达两三千万人,而生活在发展中国家的艾滋病患者接受治疗的人数却只有44万,相对来说太少了。所以说发展中国家的许多艾滋病患者都没有接受治疗。
    从文章第二段最后一句话中的“annualreport",可知世界卫生组织的“世界卫生报告”是每年发表一次。
    本题为推理判断题。从文章第四段和第五段内容可知,Lee说到:社会应对艾滋病的预防加大力度,多关心艾滋病患者;后代对我们这一时代的评价在很大程度上取决于我们对艾滋病的反应。由此可见:对待艾滋病,我们的反应是至关重要的一件事,故选A。
    文章倒数第三段提到,对于艾滋病的治疗对预防艾滋病也颇有益处。
    文章最后一段指出,自从20世纪80年代发现艾滋病到现在,已有两千万人死于该病。第三篇本文通过精神分析学家波比的观点引出日托机构对孩子的影响这个论点,并对其客观地进行了论述。

    Although many people would not believe it, the mosquito is actually the most dangerous animal in Africa. While the bite of the black mamba is invariably lethal when untreated, this dreaded snake kills only a few dozen people per year. Hippopotami, with their immense strength and foul dispositions, kill hundreds of people per year in rivers and lakes, but the mosquito is still more dangerous. Mosquitoes bite hundreds of millions of people in Africa every year, and they infect over a million each year with malaria, a disease that is often fatal.  Which of the following questions would be most useful in evaluating the claim made above regarding the mosquito?
    A

    Could a person survive an attack by a black mamba if that person received prompt medical attention?

    B

    What criteria are used to determine which animal is the “most dangerous” animal?

    C

    Could the incidence of mosquito bites be decreased through the judicious use of pesticides and insect repellent?

    D

    Does malaria kill more people per year in Africa than tuberculosis?

    E

    How does the percentage of people who survive hippopotamus attacks in Africa each year compare with the percentage of people who survive mosquito bites?


    正确答案: C
