But he brought courage and hope to people around the world.Nkosi Johnson, who died last June, is remembered today as an AIDS fighter. This young boy challenged his governments AIDS policies and millions of South Africans in the fight against the disease.Johnson was the longest survivor born HIV positive（艾滋病病毒携带者）.He survived with this deadly disease for 12 years before it claimed his life.At first, Johnson was expected to live for nine months when his foster mother, Gail Johnson took him in at the age of two. She now runs Nkosis Haven across town from her house in Melville. The Haven is home to 20 children living with HIV or AIDS, and 11 of their mothers.Johnson attracted the worlds attention and stole the hearts of thousands of people across the world at the 13th International AIDS Conference in Durban in July 2000. He stood in front of a large audience including South African President Thabo Mbeki. He told them that he wanted AZT, a drug used to treat AIDS patients, to be given to HIV-positive pregnant（怀孕的） women to prevent the disease being passed on to their unborn babies. He received a loud cheer at the end of his speech.Johnsons speech was broadcast live across the world. With views beyond his age and even a sense of humor, Johnson soon became an international sign of the fight against AIDS and HIV.26The underlined words “claimed his life” (Paragraph 3) means _.Adid harm to Johnsons lifeBhelped Johnson to surviveCcaused the death of JohnsonDmade Johnson weak27The main idea in paragraphs 5 and 6 is _.AJohnson attracted the worlds attentionBJohnson stood in front of South African President Thabo MbekiCJohnson wanted AZT to treat AIDS pregnant womenDJohnson helped prevent the disease being passed on to an unborn baby28The AIDS child gave the speech in order to _.Asteal the hearts of thousands of peopleBbe an AIDS fighterCget more help from the worldDfight against the government29From the passage we can infer that _.Athe governments AIDS policies have to be improvedBthe government did nothing to help those with HIV positiveCthe boys speech changed the governments policiesDno one lived longer than the boy30The best title for this passage is .AThe Sad Story of an AIDS Child.BThe Courage of an AIDS ChildCAIDS, a Deadly DiseaseDA Hero in South AfricaBFor a 400-year-old art form, operas had a bad fame: overweight actresses singing the words which are hard to understand in one of those romance languages you were supposed to learn in high school. And with tickets costing as much as $ 145 a performance, opera goers also have a certain appearance in peoples mind: rich, well-dressed and old.But now opera companies around the country are loosening their ties and kicking off their shoes in an attempt to bring the opera to the audience. It needs to keep it alive, the young and not-so-rich.Opera producers have found that to attract this crowd, they need to make the opera closer to common people. That means no formal suits, old-styled theatre or band-breaking ticket prices. And because young people dont or wont come to the opera, companies are bringing the opera to them, giving performances in such unusual places as parks, libraries and public schools.The Houston Grand Operas choice is the public library, where it performs “mobile operas”, shortened versions (剧本) of child-friendly operas. This summers production is Hansel & Gretel. By performing smaller versions of large productions, producers are able to make people interested while keeping costs at a reasonable level. The San Francisco Opera, which will be celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, is staging Cinderella free of charge, keeping costs down by employing students from its Young Artists Training Program. 31Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?AOpera is famous for is history. BOpera is only for rich people.COpera companies are trying to keep opera alive. DYoung people are not interested in opera. 32The underlined part in Paragraph 2 most probably means .Abreaking up the old rulesBchanging the dressesCmaking the audience at easeDadvertising themselves33Opera companies prefer to perform smaller versions because .Athey can be performed in public librariesBshort versions are easy to performCit is hard to find long versionsDthey can make people interested34The San Francisco Opera employs young students in order to .Aattract young peopleBreduce the costCcelebrate its 75th anniversaryDmake Cinderella popular35What can you infer from the passage?AThe tickets for opera are very expensive at present.BOpera is performed in a language difficult to understand.COpera is not so popular an art form today.DStudents enjoy performing operas very much.CFor most people, shopping is still a matter of wandering down the street or loading a cart in a shopping mall. Soon, that will change. Electronic commerce is growing fast and will soon bring people more choices. There will, however, be a cost: protecting the consumer from fraud will be harder. Many governments therefore want to extend highstreet regulations to the electronic world. But politicians would be wiser to see cyberspace as a basis for a new era of corporate self-regulation.Consumers in rich countries have grown used to the idea that the government takes responsibility for everything from the stability of the banks to the safety of the drugs, or their rights to refund when goods are faulty. But governments cannot enforce national laws on businesses whose only presence in their country is on the screen. Other countries have regulators, but the rules of consumer protection differ, as does enforcement. Even where a clear right to compensation exists, the online catalogue customer in Tokyo, say, can hardly go to New York to extract a refund for a dud purchase.One answer is for governments to cooperate more: to recognize each others rules. But that requires years of work and volumes of detailed rules. And plenty of countries have rules too fanciful for sober states to accept. There is, however, an alternative. Let the electronic businesses do the “regulation” themselves. They do, after all, have a self-interest in doing so.In electronic commerce, a reputation for honest dealing will be a valuable competitive asset. Governments, too, may compete to be trusted. For instance, customers ordering medicines online may prefer to buy from the United States because they trust the rigorous screening of the Food and Drug Administration; or they may decide that the FDAs rules are too strict, and buy from Switzerland instead.Consumers will need to use their judgment. But precisely because the technology is new, electronic shoppers are likely for a while to be a lot more cautious than consumers of the normal sort-and the new technology will also make it easier for them to complain noisily when a company lets them down. In this way, at least, the advent of cyberspace may argue for fewer consumer protection laws, not more.36According to the author, what will be the best policy for electronic commerce?ASelf regulation by the business.BStrict consumer protection laws.CClose international cooperation.DGovernment protection.37In case an electronic shopper bought faulty goods from a foreign country, what could he do?ARefuse to pay for the purchase.BGo to the seller and ask for a refund.CAppeal to consumer protection law.DComplain about it on the Internet.38In the authors view, businesses would place a high emphasis on honest dealing because in the electronic world .Ainternational cooperation would be much more frequentBconsumers could easily seek government protectionCa good reputation is a great advantage in competitionDit would be easy for consumers to complain39We can infer from the passage that in licensing new drugs the FDA in the United States is .Avery quickBvery cautiousCvery slowDrather careless40If a customer buys something that does not meet his expectation, what is the advantage of dealing through electronic commerce over the present normal one?AIt will be easier for him to return the goods he is not satisfied with.BIt will be easier for him to attain the refund from the seller.CIt will be easier for him to get his complaints heard by other consumers.DIt will be easier for him to complain about this to the government.D People want action on noise, a recent public meeting in Brisbane showed. Some want technical improvements such as quieter air conditioners or better sound barriers around major roads. Others want tougher laws to restrict noise from building sites or to require owners to take responsibility for barking dogs. But the highest priority was a noise complaints system that works.Brisbane City Council receives more complaints about noise than all other problems put together. So it conducted a survey and found that about half its residents are upset by noise in one form or another traffic, mowers, pool pumps, air conditioners or loud parties. This inspired the Council to bring together more than 100 citizens one evening to talk through a range of options. The meeting found the present regulatory system bizarre. Depending on the problem, responsibility for noise can lie with the Council, the Environment Protection Authority, one of three government departments or even the police. So complainants often feel they are getting the run-round. When the people at the forum were asked to vote for changes, the strongest response was for a 24-hour noise hotline to be the first port of call for all complaints. The forum also favored regulatory measures, such as tougher minimum standards for noise in appliances like air conditioners. This even makes economic sense, as noise is a waste of energy and money. Other measures the meeting supported were wider buffer (缓冲) zones around noisy activities and controls to keep heavy traffic away from residential areas. But there are obvious conflicts. Many people like to have a bar within walking distance if they feel like a drink, but they dont want a noisy pub keeping them awake when they want an early night. Most people want to live near a major road providing good access to other parts of the city, but they dont want the problem of road noise. I was most interested by the proposals aimed at behavioral change. There was strong support for measures to reduce traffic: better public transport, cycleways and footpaths, even charges for road use. Many people optimistically thought industry awards for better equipment would stimulate the production of quieter appliances. It was even suggested that noise from building sites could be alleviated (减轻) if Brisbane adopted daylight saving, thus shifting the working day and providing longer, quieter evenings.41According to the recent public meeting in Brisbane, what was the first step to take in order to reduce noise pollution?AProduce quieter air conditioners.BProvide better sound barriers around major roads.CEstablish a noise complaints system.DMake stricter laws to require owners to take responsibility for barking dogs.42It can be inferred from the passage that _.Athe Brisbane residents were satisfied with the present noise regulatory systemBmany people in Brisbane preferred to live near a pub to which they have easy accessCnearly all the inhabitants in Brisbane were bothered by noise in one form or anotherDnoise pollution is the most serious among pollution complaints in Brisbane43Brisbane City Council brought together citizens to talk through solutions to the noise problem mainly due to .Athe result of the survey carried out by itselfBa noise complaints system that worksCpeople asking for tougher laws on noiseDrequirements of an effective noise complaints system44What does the word “run-round” (Para. 3) mean?AUnfair treatment. BQuick response.CDelaying action in response to a request. DFull attention.45How could noise from building sites be alleviated if Brisbane adopted daylight saving?AIf daylight saving was adopted, the daytime would be prolonged and the night would become quieter.BIf daylight saving was adopted, the working hours during the daytime would be shortened while the night would be extended and thus quieter.CIf daylight saving was adopted, the night would be shortened and thus quieter.DIf daylight saving was adopted, both the daytime and the night would be shortened and the noise would be reduced.第二节 信息匹配（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。若选择E，请涂AB；若选择F，请涂CD。首先请阅读下列GPS的信息：ATomTom One 125-GPS Receiver The TomTom One 125 isnt the newest or flashiest portable navigation device on the market, but thats OK.
