Critical(B)(C)Chinas domestically developed, long-acting experimental AIDS drug is undergoing a final review by the China Food and Drug Administration, the last stage in the approval process.Different from traditional oral drugs that require daily use, Albuvirtide is an injection solution that can be administered weekly.In developed countries, oral AIDS drugs are very efficient, but its a heavy burden for patients to take medicine every day for years. As a result, long-acting drugs are the future direction in developing innovative AIDS medicine. For Chinese patients, the number of oral drugs available in the domestic market is very limited, so there is an urgent need for drugs to solve the problem of drug resistance.Zhao Yan, a treatment specialist at the National Center for AIDS said seven or eight oral drugs for AIDS are currently provided to patients for free. The injection solution could give an alternative to patients . if it could be included in the countrys health insurance system, she said.Now very few patients are using drugs from the health insurance system, both because no differentiated drugs are provided and because the procedure is more complex and could harm their privacy, she said. New drugs will be broadly used only if the system can embrace more varieties of drugs.Albuvirtide went into the research and development stage in 2002 and entered phase three of clinical trialsa step to assure safety and effectiveness before market approvalin 2014. Phase three is the last round of clinical trials for new drug tests in China. If the drug can pass the reviews of the countrys drug watchdog, usually at least two rounds, it can then enter the market. The time needed for the review ranges from months to years.Clinical trials showed that the new drug performs even better than the oral drugs being used. Most of the oral drugs for AIDS being used in China are generic drugs developed in the 1970s and 80s that are not so efficient. In terms of safety and effectiveness, evidence so far showed that Albuvirtide is better than most second-line drugsdrugs used when first-line standard drugs failin developed countries because of lower toxicity (毒性) and fewer side effects.Worldwide, a number of long-acting AIDS drug are in development. None has been approved for sale. Only Albuvirtide and a few in the United States have entered phase three of clinical trials.63. Albuvirtide is .A. a China-developed long-acting oralAIDS drugB. undergoing a clinical test on dogs to assure its safety.C. more efficient than other AIDS drugs and has fewer side effectsD. the only AIDS drug that has entered the last round of clinical trials64. Albuvirtide is good news for AIDS patients in China because .A. its a new drug and they are not resistant to itB. it is one of the most effective first-line drugsC. it has been included in the health insurance systemD. they can keep their privacy by being injected once a week65. Which of the following statements is FALSE?A. The research and development of Albuvirtide began in 2002.B. There are usually three phases in the clinical trial for a new drug.C. Albuvirtide is now in the stage of carrying out clinical trials.D. The time needed for review varies from drug to drug.66. We can infer from the passage that .A.

Somewhere hot with sandy beaches? A country with a tradition of the fine food and culture? Not according to a recent study by the university of Leicester. Who are the happiest people on Earth? 67 Surprised? Well youll be more surprised when you hear that the Danes pay some some of the highest taxes in the world. So what is the secret of their success? Lets start with all that tax they pay. The Danish government provides its people with one of the finest education and health systems in the world. It spends more on children and elderly people per capital than other country. And theres another advantage to those high taxes. Because a shop assistants final salary is not that much less than someone who works in a bank, for example, Danes dont choose their careers based on money or status as people in other countries do. They choose the job they want to do. Theres a philosophy in Denmark known as Jante-lov, which translates as youre no better than anybody else. _68_ But workers in order countries are not used to looking at life in this way. Money doesnt seem as important in Denmark. It has been called a post consumerist society. _69_ What is more important is the sense of society and its no surprise that Danes are very used to socializing. 92% of Danes belong to some kind of social club and these clubs are even paid for by the government. _70_ They also show an amazing amount of trust in each other and their government. You can see sighs of this all over the country. Youll find vegetable stalls with no assistant. You take what you want and leave the money in a basket. Perhaps the bike is a good symbol for Denmark. The Danes can afford cars but they choose bikes-simple, economical, non-polluting machines that show no status and help keep people fit.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage.
