　　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．

　　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．

第二部分：閱讀理解（第一節(jié)20小題，第二節(jié)5小題；每小題2分共50分）
第一節(jié)：閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卷上將該項標號涂黑。
A
The angry locals of an English village blocked the driver of a Google Street View car who was
filming the neighborhood, saying they feared he world encourage thieves, a report said Friday.
One local, Paul Jacobs, told the BBC he had warned his neighbors after spotting the car from
his window in Broughton, Buckinghamshire, southern England, on Wednesday.
“I don’t have a problem with Google wanting to promote villages. What I have a problem with
is the invasion （侵犯）of privacy, taking pictures directly into the home,” Jacobs said.
“We’ve already had three homes broken into locally in the past six weeks. If our houses are
made noticeable all over Google, it’s an invitation for more criminals to strike. I was determined to
make a stand, so I called the police.”
After his call, a police car arrived in Broughton in response to an argument between a crowd of people and a Google Street View contractor.
“They felt his presence was a threat to their privacy. When police arrived at the scene, the car had moved on,” explained a spokeswoman for Thames Valley Police.
The Google Street View project, set up last month in Britain, aims to provide detailed 360-degree views online of streets all over Britain.
The project has already been strongly criticized by associations like Privacy International, a pressure group which has launched legal action against the IT company.
Google is confident that their new mapping project is within the law.
“Before launching Street View we sought the guidance and approval of the Information Commissioner’s Office. The ICO has repeatedly made clear that it believes that Street View includes the safeguards necessary to protect people’s privacy,” a Google spokesman said.
“The Metropolitan Police （in London） told us they saw no significant security risk, that thieves are likely to make use of the opportunities, and that mapping products can be useful in solving and mapping crime in an area.”
He added: “Engaged in new projects, we sometimes meet unexpected challenges, and Street View has been no exception.”

A．the villagers were angrily arguing with the Google car driver.
B．the map car was stopped from leaving the village.
C．The map car had stopped its working and gone on its way.
D．The map car was surrounded by the angry villagers.

A．stand there all the time whole waiting for the police
B．show full support to Google’s filming the neighborhood
C．a(chǎn)ttempt to defend locals by stopping Google’s filming the neighborhood
D．stand in the way to stop the car moving on
43．Which of the following sentences is TRUE?
A．Google’s mapping project has not been officially approved.
B．Three homes had been visited by thieves with the help of Google pictures.
C．The police rushed to stop a fight between locals and Google contractors.
D．It was not the first time that the Google map project had been criticized.
44．What’s the best title for the passage?
A．Google’s Mapping Project Promotes the Neighobrohood.
B．Angry British Villagers Stop Google Maps Car.
C．Google Goes On With its Plan to Film the Streets.
D．New Project Meets Challenges Again.
