very traditional family in the western United States maintained high moral 道德的 standards throughout her youth In 1984 at the age of 23 she married Bill They were blessed with two children a boy and a girl By 1991 their love had deepened and they were happy Later that year Bill developed a white spot on his tongue He visited a doctor One day shortly after that Bill called Karen to sit beside him He said with tears in his eyes that he loved her and wanted to live forever with her The doctor suspected that he had been infected with HIV the virus that leads to AIDS The family was testeD Bill and Karen s results were positive Bill had become infected before he met Katen then he passed the virus on to Karen The children s results were negative Within three years Bill was deaD I don t know how to express what it is like to watch the once handsome man you love and intend to live with forever dying slowly I cried many nights He died three months short of ten years of our marriage says Karen Though a doctor told Karen that she would soon follow her husband into death she is still alive The infection has progressed to the early stages of AIDS Karen is but one of about 30 million people now living with HIV AIDS a figure larger than the combined populations of AustraliA Ireland and Paraguay According to one UN report Africa has 21 million of these victims By the turn of the century that number could reach 40 million and the disease will bring on the greatest disaster in human history Of the world s sexually active adults aged 15 to 49 1 in 100 has already been infected with HIV Of these only 1 in 10 realizes that he or she is infecteD In some parts of Africa 25 percent of the adults are infecteD Since the beginning of the spread of AIDS in 1981 about 11 7 million people have died of it It is roughly calculated that in 1997 alone about 2 3 million people died of it Nevertheless there are fresh reasons for optimism in the battle against AIDS During the past few years there has been a drop in new AIDS cases in wealthy nations In addition promising drugs hold out hope of better health and longer life 61 By telling the story of Karen the author intends to A were people against high risk behaviors B stress the importance of medical tests C express sympathy for AIDS victims D show the consequences of AIDS 62 The underlined part in Paragraph 1 most probably means A were lucky in having B were asked to adopt C regretted having D gave birth to 63 Bill was suspected of being infected with HIV after A he got married to Karen B the family members were tested C Karen persuaded him to see the doctor D he found something wrong with his tongue 64 It can be concluded from the passage that A promising drugs will soon stop AIDS B the spread of AIDS could be controlled C it is hopeless to win the battle against AIDS D the death rate of AIDS patients has been reduced B How can a creature weighing over 5 tons and normally taking 150 kilograms of food and 120 liters of water per day survive in a desert environment In the southwest African country of Namibia and the Sahara lands of Mali further north the desert elephant does just that Although not regarded as a separate species from the African elephant the desert cousin differs in many ways Their bodies are smaller to absorb less heat and their feet are larger for easier walking across sandy surfaces They are taller to reach higher branches They have shorter tusks 象 牙 and most importantly longer trunks to dig for water in riverbeds Desert elephants can travel over 70 kilometers in search for feeding grounds and waterholes and have a larger group of families They drink only every 3 4 days and can store water in a bag at the back of their throat which is only used when badly needeD Desert elephants are careful feeders they seldom root up trees and break fewer branches and thus maintain what little food sources are available Yong elephants may even eat the dung 粪 便 of the female leader of a group when facing food shortage During drought they are unlikely to give birth to their young but with good rains the birthrate will increase greatly Desert elephants have sand baths sometimes adding their own urine 尿液 to make them muddy As we continue to overheat our weak planet it can only be hoped that other animal species will adapt as extraordinarily well to change as the desert elephant 65 The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means A remains in the African countries B drinks 120 liters of water a day C manages to live in desert areas D eats 150 kilograms of food daily 66 Desert elephants are called careful feeders because they A rarely ruin trees B drink only every 3 4 days C search for food in large groups D protect food sources for their young 67 The author answers the question raised in the first paragraph with A stories and explanation B facts and descriptions C examples and conclusion D evidence and argument 68 What can be inferred from the last sentence in the passage A Overheating the earth can be stoppeD B Not all animal species are so adaptable C The planet will become hotter and hotter D Not all animals are as smart as desert elephants C Almost every child is scared of something from monsters in the cupboard to dogs in the park But the fact that such fears are common and normal doesn t mean they can be taken lightly Kids experience fears and phobias 恐惧症 much more strongly than adults And the influence of the fear can be physical as well as psychological 心理的 It can build up so they almost seem scared of everything a kind of childhood anxiety Dr Creswell says Your child may always seem to expect the worst to happen and lack confidence in his or her ability to deal with any challenge So don t make the same old mistake of treating them as if they re silly for being a scaredy cat Handing the fears is essential Children can be born nervous anD if you have such a baby you ll tend to prevent them from getting worrieD So if they fear dogs You ll keep them away from dogs but in fact that can just confirm to the child that dogs are scary What is worse keeping your child away from what they fear can turn that feeling into a phobiA Instead you should encourage them to get in touch with the thing they fear in a safe and supportive environment Dr Andy Field a researcher of childhood fears says You should t force for example a dog anxious child to go up to a dog But you can approach it yourself show them there is nothing to be afraid of stroke 抚摸 it and talk about the dog being friendly Once your child dares to stroke a dog one that s good with children of course then you should encourage them to carry on until they feel calmer and reward them for being brave 69 Children s fears are usually taken lightly because A they will not develop into phobias B their influence is psychological C they exist widely in the world D they will disappear gradually 70 If we fail to help children to overcome fears they will A make the same old mistake B overcome them by themselves C experience the worst of things D grow up lacking self confidence 71 According to Dr Andy Field if a child is afraid of a cat parents should A tell the child not to be afraid of it B show the child how to approach it C keep the child away from it D ask the child to stroke it D Over the last 70 years researchers have been studying happy and unhappy people and finally found out ten factors that make a difference Our feelings of well being at any moment are determined to a certain degree by genes However of all the factors wealth and age are the top two Money can buy a degree of happiness But once you can afford to feed clothe and house yourself each extra dollar makes less and less difference Researchers find that on average wealthier people are happier But the link between money and happiness is complex In the past half century average income has sharply increased in developed countries yet happiness levels have remained almost the same Once your basic needs are met money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends neighbors and colleagues Dollars buy status and status makes people feel better conclude some experts which helps explain why people who can seek status in other ways scientists or actors for example may happily accept relatively poorly paid jobs In a research Professor Alex Michalos found that the people whose desires not just for money but for friends family job health rose furthest beyond what they already had tended to be less happy than those who felt a smaller gap 差距 Indeed the size of the gap predicted happiness about five times better than income alone The gap measures just blow away the only measures of income says Michalos Another factor that has to do with happiness is age Old age may not be so bad Given all the problems of aging how could the elderly be more satisfied asks Professor Laura Carstensen In one survey Carstensen interviewed 184 people between the ages of 18 and 94 and asked them to fill out an emotions questionnaire She found that old people reported positive emotions just as often as young people Some scientists suggest older people may expect life to be harder and learn to live with it or they re more realistic about their time running out older people have learned to focus on things that make them happy and let go of those that don t People realize not only what they have but also that what they have cannot last forever she says A goodbye kiss to a husband or wife at the age of 85 for example may bring far more complex emotional responses than a similar kiss to a boy or girl friend at the age of 20 72 According to the passage the feeling of happiness A is determined partly by genes B increases gradually with age C has little to do with wealth D is measured by desires 72 Some actors would like to accept poorly paid jobs because the jobs A make them feel much better B provide chances to make friends C improse their social position D satisfy their professional interests 74 Aged people are more likely to feel happy because they are more A optimistic B succes
