参考解析
解析：根据文章首段“The World Health Organization estimates that about one-third of all peo-ple are infected with bacteria that cause tuberculosis（结核病）…each year about eight mu- lion people develop active cases of TB… Two million people die of it.”可知，大约有三分之一的人会感染上结核病细菌，每年约有800万人在肺部转变为活性细菌，大约有二百万人死于结核病。故选C。
由第三段的最后两句“The model shows that these reductions would take place between 2020 and 2030. That is, if a faster cure is developed and in wide use by 2020”可知，一种又快又广的治疗方法大约在2020年至2030年，最快也得在2020年。故选B。
由最后一段“The four most common drugs used now are more than forty years old”可知，现在最常用的四种治疗结核病的药已有四十多年的历史了。所以要加大投资金额用于研发新药品。
根据题干，我们可以直接定位到第二段。由首句“Current treatments take at least six months”可知目前的治疗肺结核的疗程至少是六个月，故A项正确；根据Joshua Salomon 所说的话可知疗程较短的计划可能意味着更多病人被治好，也意味着将感染传递给别人的病人也会更少，故B、C两项正确。由“But many people stop as soon as they feel bet-ter. Doing that can lead to an infection（传染病）that resists treatment.”可知，结核病患者不能感觉好一点就停止吃药，这样容易发展成抗药性的传染性肺结核。故选D。
由文章最后一句话“The Global Alliance for TB Drug Development（全球结核病药物开发联盟）says its long-term goal is a treatment that could work in as few as ten doses.”可知全球结核病药物开发联盟的目标是研制出一种最好是喝10剂就能治愈结核的药物。 dose剂量，药量；一服（药），一剂（药）。故选C。

Passage FourEvery culture and every country in the world celebrates New Year, but not everyone does it the same way. The countries in North America and Europe welcome New Year on January the first. This practice began with the Romans in the Middle East, New Year is when spring begins. People in China and Vietnam celebrate it on the first day of the Spring Festival, which is the first day of their calendar based on the moon. Rosh Hashana, which is the Jewish (犹太人的) New Year, comes at the end of summer. The Hindus (印度教教徒 ) in India celebrate the first day of each season, so they have four New Years.In all these cultures, there is a practice of making noise. People made noise in ancient times to drive away the evil spirits (妖精) from their homes. Today making noise is more of a custom than a religious rimIn the United States, many people stay up until midnight on New Year's Eve to watch the clock pass from one year to the next. Friends often gather together at a party on New Year's Eve, and when the new year comes, all ring bells, blow' whistles, sing songs, and kiss each other. A favorite Scottish song which everyone sings together is Auld Lang Sync. The words tell of old friends and good times.In all cultures, New Year's Day is a time when people think of new beginnings. They want to make the coming year better than the last one. Many people in the United States make New Year resolutions. These are specific promises that they make to improve their behavior, change their habits, and become better people. There are many jokes about how a person keeps his or her New Year resolutions.48. In ancient times, the practice of making noise was meant ______.A. to keep the evil spirits awayB. to have funC. to celebrate the coming of the new yearD. to keep to a custom

US Signs Global Tobacco Treaty【美国签订了全球烟草协议】 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. ____(46) The FCTC was developed by the World Health Organization and approved by members of the World Health Assembly，including the United States，last year. ______(47) 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. _____(48) 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. ______(49)The World Health Organization estimates that tobacco use kills nearly 5 million people worldwide every year. In the US alone, about 440,000 people die each year from tobacco-related illnesses; about one-third of all cancers in the US are caused by tobacco use. If current trends continue, WHO estimates, by 2025 tobacco will kill 10 million people each year. The treaty must be ratified by at least 40 countries before it can take effect. ______(50)文章(10~15) A.Tobacco stocks also perked up as investors discounted fears of litigation(诉讼) from the US B. So far，109 countries have signed it, and 12 have ratified it. C. The impact of the treaty could be huge. D. Countries that ratify(批准) it would be required to enact strict tobacco control policies. E.The treaty calls for higher tobacco taxes, restrictions on smoking in public places, and more promotion of tobacco prevention and cessation programs. F. The Senate must still approve the treaty before the US can implement its provisions.

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 can NOT be learned from the passage?A: Many chronic-disease deaths are preventable.B:Chronic diseases are the major cause of death in most countries.C:Chronic diseases are killing more middle-aged people than elderly people.D: Economic gains in many countries have contributed to chronic-disease deaths.
共用题干第三篇Be Alert to Antimicrobial（抗微生物的）ResistanceThe ability of micro-organisms to find ways to avoid the action of the drugs used to cure the infectionsthey cause is increasingly recognized as a global public health issue.Some bacteria have developed mecha-nisms which make them resistant to many of the antibiotics（抗生素）normally used for their treatment. They are known as multi一drug resistant bacteria,posing particular difficulties,as there may be few or no alternative options for therapy.They constitute a growing and global public health problem. WHO suggests that countries should be prepared to implement hospital infection control measures to limit the spread of multi-drug resistant strains（菌株）and to reinforce national policy on prudent use of antibiotics , reducing the generation of antibiotic resistant bacteria.An article published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases on 1 1 August 2010 identified a new gene that enables some types of bacteria to be highly resistant to almost all antibiotics.The article has drawn attention to the issue of antimicrobial resistance,and,in particular,has raised awareness of infections caused by multi- drug resistant bacteria.While multi-drug resistant bacteria are not new and will continue to appear,this development requires monitoring and further study to understand the extent and modes of transmission,and to define the most effec-tive measures for control.Those called upon to be alert to the problem of antimicrobial resistance and take appropriate action in- clude consumers , managers of hospitals , patients , as well as national governments , the pharmaceutical（制药 的）industry,and international agencies.WHO strongly recommends that governments focus control and prevention efforts in the following areas like surveillance for antimicrobial resistance;rational antibiotic use,including education of healthcare workers and the public in the appropriate use of antibiotics;introducing or enforcing legislation related to stopping the selling of antibiotics without prescription;and strict adherence to infection prevention and control measures, including the use of hand-washing measures,particularly in healthcare facilities.Successful control of multidrug-resistant micro-organisms has been documented in many countries,and the existing and well-known infection prevention and control measures can effectively reduce transmission of multi-drug resistant organisms if systematically implemented.WHO will continue to support countries to develop relevant policies,and to coordinate international efforts to combat antimicrobial resistance.Antimicrobial resistance will be the theme of WHO's World Health Day 2011.Antimicrobial resistance has become a global public health issue because_________.A:new antibiotics are too expensive for poor countriesB:infections caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria have killed a lot of peopleC:scientists know nothing about multi-drug resistant bacteriaD:there may be few or no treatment to infections caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria
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.

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.AIDS is a life-threatening disease because__________.A:it makes people unable to fight infectionB:it kills the largest number of peopleC:it has the longest historyD:more and more people are killed by AIDS
共用题干第三篇Be Alert to Antimicrobial（抗微生物的）ResistanceThe ability of micro-organisms to find ways to avoid the action of the drugs used to cure the infectionsthey cause is increasingly recognized as a global public health issue.Some bacteria have developed mecha-nisms which make them resistant to many of the antibiotics（抗生素）normally used for their treatment. They are known as multi一drug resistant bacteria,posing particular difficulties,as there may be few or no alternative options for therapy.They constitute a growing and global public health problem. WHO suggests that countries should be prepared to implement hospital infection control measures to limit the spread of multi-drug resistant strains（菌株）and to reinforce national policy on prudent use of antibiotics , reducing the generation of antibiotic resistant bacteria.An article published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases on 1 1 August 2010 identified a new gene that enables some types of bacteria to be highly resistant to almost all antibiotics.The article has drawn attention to the issue of antimicrobial resistance,and,in particular,has raised awareness of infections caused by multi- drug resistant bacteria.While multi-drug resistant bacteria are not new and will continue to appear,this development requires monitoring and further study to understand the extent and modes of transmission,and to define the most effec-tive measures for control.Those called upon to be alert to the problem of antimicrobial resistance and take appropriate action in- clude consumers , managers of hospitals , patients , as well as national governments , the pharmaceutical（制药 的）industry,and international agencies.WHO strongly recommends that governments focus control and prevention efforts in the following areas like surveillance for antimicrobial resistance;rational antibiotic use,including education of healthcare workers and the public in the appropriate use of antibiotics;introducing or enforcing legislation related to stopping the selling of antibiotics without prescription;and strict adherence to infection prevention and control measures, including the use of hand-washing measures,particularly in healthcare facilities.Successful control of multidrug-resistant micro-organisms has been documented in many countries,and the existing and well-known infection prevention and control measures can effectively reduce transmission of multi-drug resistant organisms if systematically implemented.WHO will continue to support countries to develop relevant policies,and to coordinate international efforts to combat antimicrobial resistance.Antimicrobial resistance will be the theme of WHO's World Health Day 2011.WHO recommends governments to focus on the following areas EXCEPT_________.A:education on the use of antibioticsB:keeping hospitals from storing more antibiotics than they can useC:control of antibiotic useD:introduction of new regulations on the sale of antibiotics

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.Until recently the main killers in Asia and the Pacific have beenA:economic gains.B: lost productivity.C:chronic diseases.D: infectious and parasitic diseases.

共用题干第二篇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 oftoday 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 1980s,more than 20 million have died of AIDS,mostly in poor countries.AIDS treatment programs may also result in___________.A:better drugsB:lower yearly costC:more effective preventionD:greater emphasis on treatment

问答题More people die of tuberculosis than of any other disease caused by asingle agent. This has probably been the case in quite a while. During the 1．_______early stages of the industrial revolution, perhaps one in every seventh 2．_______deaths in Europe’s crowded cities were caused by the disease. From 3．_______now on, though, western eyes, missing the global picture, saw the trouble 4．_______going into decline. With occasional breaks for war, the rates of death andinfection in the Europe and America dropped steadily through the 19th and 5．_______20th centuries. In the 1950s, the introduction of antibiotics strengthened thetrend in rich countries, and the antibiotics were allowed to be imported to 6．_______poor countries. Medical researchers declared victory and withdrew. They are wrong. In the mid-1980s the frequency of infections and deaths 7．_______started to pick up again around the world. Where tuberculosis vanished, it came 8．_______back; in many places where it had never been away, it grew better. The World 9．_______Health Organization estimates that 1.7 billion people (a third of the earth’spopulation) suffer from tuberculosis. Even when the infection rate was falling,population growth kept the number of clinical cases more or less constantly at 8 10．_______million a year. Around 3 million of those people died, nearly all of them in poorcountries.
问答题Dental Health Decay is not the only disease that can cause tooth loss. Another serious disease affects the gums, the tissue that surrounds the teeth. It is also caused by bacteria. If the bacteria are not removed every day, they form a substance that stays on the teeth. The substance is known as plaque. At first, the gums appear to be swollen, and may bleed when the teeth are brushed. This can lead to serious infection of the tissue around the teeth. The infection may damage the bone that supports the teeth and cause tooth loss and other health problems. Studies have found that people with severe gum disease have an increased risk of developing heart disease, diabetes and stroke. Gum disease can be treated by a special dentist called a periodontist. Periodontists are trained to repair the gum areas that have been damaged. This can be painful and costly. Dental health experts say the best thing to do is to stop gum disease before it starts. The way to do this is to clean the teeth every day. People also should use dental floss to remove plaque from between the teeth. Most experts also agree that another way to prevent tooth and gum problems is to eat foods high in calcium and vitamins and low in sugar. Scientists continue to develop better dental treatments and equipment. Improved technology may change the way people receive dental treatment in the future. For example, dentists are now suing laser light to treat diseased gums and teeth. Dentists use computer technology to help them repair damaged teeth. Researchers have developed improved methods to repair bone that supports the teeth. And genetic research is expected to develop tests that will show the presence of disease causing bacteria in the mouth. Such increased knowledge about dental diseases and ways to prevent them has improved the health of many people. Yet problems remain in some areas. In industrial countries, minorities and other groups have a high level of untreated dental disease. In developing countries, many areas do not have even emergency care services. The World Health Organization says people in countries in Africa have the most tooth and gum problems. World Health Organization experts say the dental health situation is different for almost every country in the world. As a result, it has developed oral health programs separately for each area. The WHO oral health program is mainly for people living in poor areas. It provides them with information about mouth diseases and health care. It also studies preventive programs using fluoride in water, salt, mild and toothpaste. And it explores ways to include dental health in national health care systems. Many governments and other organizations provide help, so people can get needed dental health services. But dental health professionals say people should take good care of their teeth and gums. They say people should keep their teeth as clean as possible. They should eat foods high in calcium and fiber. These include milk products, whole grain breads and cereals, vegetables, fruits, beans and nuts. Recent studies have shown that eating nuts can help slow the production of plaque on the teeth. Experts say these activities will help everyone improve their dental health throughout their lives.
