考题共用题干第二篇Attitudes to AIDS NowMost 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 deathsfell.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 AIDSB:AIDS is no longer an epidemicC:AIDS is killing more people than beforeD:there is still no cure for AIDS

考题共用题干 Need for Emphasis on TreatmentAIDS 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 isA:a matter of great significance B:a matter of little significanceC:overemphasized D:timely

考题共用题干 New U. S. Plan for Disease PreventionUrging 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 governmentB: less need for input into treatmentC: higher costs of health careD: more lifestyle choices for people

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.

考题单选题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?
