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）."Before the findings released by the Kaiser Family Foundation,activists worried that________.A:the Americans might not concern about AIDS any moreB:the government is too optimistic about the cure of AIDSC:the deaths caused by AIDS may increaseD:scientists may not find cures for AIDS

共用题干第二篇 Chronic Diseases: The World's Leading KillerChronic diseases are the leading cause of death in the world.Yet health experts say these conditions are often the most preventable.Chronic diseases include heart disease, stroke,cancer,diabetes（糖尿病）and lung disorders.The World Health Organization says chronic diseases lead to about seventeen million early deaths each year.This United Nations agency expects more than three hundred eighty million people to die of chronic diseases by 2015.It says about eighty percent of the deaths will happen in developing nations.The WHO says chronic diseases now cause two-thirds of all deaths in the Asia-Pacific area,ln ten years it could be almost three-fourths.People are getting sick in their mosteconomically productive years.In fact,experts say chronic diseases are killing more middle-aged people in poorer countries than in wealthier ones.The WHO estimates that chronic diseases will cost China alone more than five hundred thousand million dollars in the next ten years.That estimate represents the costs of medical treatment and lost productivity.Russia and lndia are also expected to face huge economic losses.Kim Hak-Su is the head of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific.Last week in Bangkok he presented a WHO report on the problem.It says deaths from chronic diseases have increased largely as the result of economic gains in many countries.The report details the latest findings from nine countries.They include Brazil,Britain, Canada,China,India and Nigeria.The others are Pakistan,Russia and Tanzania.Mister Kim says infectious and parasitic（寄生的）diseases have until recently been the main killers in Asia and the Pacific.But he says they are no longer the major cause of death in most countries.Health officials say as many as eighty percent of deaths from chronic diseases could be prevented.They say an important tool for governments is to restrict the marketing of alcohol and tobacco to young people.Also,more programs are needed to urge healthy eating and more physical activity.UN officials aim through international action to reduce chronic-disease deaths by two percent each year through 2015.They say meeting that target could save thirty-six million lives.That includes twenty-five million in Asia and the Pacific. Which is NOT mentioned as a way to prevent chronic-disease deaths?A:Timely medical treatment.B: Healthy eating.C: More physical activity.D:Reduction in drinking and smoking.

共用题干第三篇Infection of AIDSAccording 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.According to the passage above,which of the following statements is not true?A:The number of people infected with HIV is increasing.B:Some new drugs can help delay AIDS deaths in countries where AIDS cases are found.C:There are more people who died of AIDS worldwide this year than any other year in the past.D:Most people with HIV live in the developing world.

共用题干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 itB:approving itC:implement its provisionsD:restrict smoking in public placesE:caused by tobacco useF:including higher tobacco taxes

共用题干New Foods and the New WorldIn the last 500 years,nothing about people—not their clothes,ideas,or languages—has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians .The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500's .And although it was very expensive,it quickly became fashionable.In London,shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600,the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe,where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the“Potato Famine”of 1845—1846,and thou- sands more were forced to emigrate to America.There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world's largest grower of coffee,and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries.But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400's.According to an Arabic legend,coffee was discovered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush.He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake”feeling that one-third of the world's population now starts the day with. The Arabic legend is used to prove thatA:.coffee was first discovered by KaldiB: coffee was first discovered by Kaldi's goatsC:.coffee was first discovered in south American countriesD: coffee drinks were first made by Arabs
