a. concerned b. indifferent c. negative d. desperate43. further studies are needed _. a. to evaluate long-term safety b. to assess who might benefit most c. to confirm whether the pill is as efficient as initial studies suggest d. all the above44. we can know from the passage that _. a. sufficient money is needed to deal with aids b. people are still becoming infected as fast as they can be put into treatment programs c. more people are becoming infected with h.i.v than before d. the drugs to prevent infections are used wildly now45. which is the best title for this passage? a. how to fight against aids. b. advances and challenge on fighting against aids. c. help the patients with aids.d. be away from aids.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。请将答案填涂在答题卡标号为4650的相应位置上。请阅读下面书籍的简单介绍a. the honor code: how moral revolutions happen. by kwame anthony appiah.
