　　On June 5,1981 the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, U．S．a(chǎn)nnounced the presence of a rare, infectious disease in five American homosexuals(同性戀)．Soon doctors were finding similar cases all over the country and the world．The AIDS epidemic(流行病)had officially begun．By 1983 it was clear that AIDS had spread around the world．More than twenty years later, AIDS has left twenty-six million dead and another forty million infected．AIDS has become the worst medical disaster ever experienced by mankind．

　　Hundreds of young people between the ages of 20 and 45 died each week during the early years of the U．S．AIDS．More than 600 000 cases of AIDS have been reported since 1981 in the United States, and it is estimated that there may be as many as 900 000 Americans infected with HIV．

　　Though the rate of HIV infections continues to increase in the United States, the number of AIDS cases has fallen sharply since 1996, when antiretroviral drugs came into the market．Unfortunately, the AIDS epidemic continues today in Africa and much of Asia, where antiretroviral treatment is not available and health care is far from enough．AIDS is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide, and the No．1 cause of death due to infectious disease．

　　HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, was first separated in 1983 by a team at the Pasteur Institute in Paris．That discovery made it possible to develop a test for AIDS and trace back to victims who may have died before doctors were aware of the disease．

　　However, scientists still don’t know exactly how and where AIDS started．Finding the source of AIDS could be important in developing a vaccine(疫苗)and be important in mapping the future course of the epidemic．

(1)

It can be inferred from the passage that ________．

[　　]

A．

antiretroviral drugs will be obtained easily all over the world

B．

the best way to stop AIDS is to develop a vaccine

C．

scientists will soon find a way to cure AIDS

D．

there will be fewer AIDS cases in the world in the future

(2)

The number of AIDS cases has greatly decreased in the United States due to the fact ________．

[　　]

A．

a team at the Pasteur Institute in Paris succeeded in separating HIV

B．

some effective medicine has been invented

C．

scientists understand AIDS better and better

D．

the rate of HIV infections continues to rise in the United States

(3)

What’s the importance of the discovery of the source of AIDS?

[　　]

A．

It can be used to develop a test for AIDS．

B．

It can stop HIV forming AIDS．

C．

It can reduce the rate of death caused by AIDS．

D．

It can help develop a drug to prevent AIDS．

(4)

When did the name of AIDS come into being?

[　　]

A．

In 1983．

B．

In 1981．

C．

In 1996．

D．

In 1994．

答案：1．B;2．B;3．D;4．B;
提示：

(1)

推測(cè)題。由常識(shí)得出，疫苗是阻止流行病的最佳途徑。由最后一段得出答案。

(2)

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。美國(guó)投入市場(chǎng)的這種藥降低了艾滋病的發(fā)病率。由第三段“…when antiretroviral drugs came into the market．”得出答案。

(3)

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。發(fā)現(xiàn)病原有助于開發(fā)疫苗，由最后一段“Finding the source of AIDS could be important in developing a vaccine…”得出答案。

(4)

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。1981年首次發(fā)現(xiàn)這種病后，很快得到了政府的確認(rèn)，“AIDS”由此產(chǎn)生。由第一段“The AIDS epidemic had officially begun．”得出答案。

     CBC is a famous air company which has over twenty planes carrying passengers and goods, flying
along 12 fixed lines all over the world. Its service is very good but some passengers are still not satisfied
with it and that is why in 1998 and 1999 the company received letters of complaints(投訴) from consumers
or passengers who pointed out over a dozen kinds of problems which are divided in groups in the following
table. This division is called Category. Problems that appear when the plane is flying are Flight problems.
Those about passengers' things carried by the plane are Baggage problems. Customer service refers to
service work which passengers are not satisfied with. Over sales of seats are about the fact that more seats
are sold and as a result the plane is too crowded to be safe. Refund problems appear when passengers fail
to receive the money paid to them because of what they have lost. Fares are problems about the price of
tickets. Reservations are problems that appear when passengers could not get the tickets they have already
booked. Tours are problems about the passengers'traveling by air or hotel problems. Advertising is what the
passengers think about advertisement on the plane. Credit problems are about the use of credit cards.
