[单项选择] The Development of Both HIV And Its Cure
As the number of people infected (传染) with the AIDS—causing HIV rose to more than 14 million worldwide and as new research showed that in the U.S. one of every 92 young men may be infected, a cure for the disease still remained an elusive(令人困惑的) dream. To help slow the spread of HIV to infants, the CDC in July called for all pregnant(怀孕的) women to be tested for the virus(毒素). The recommendation (推荐) stemmed (发展) from a. study that found that the risk that an HIV-infected woman will pass the virus on to her unborn child is cut by two-thirds if the mother receives the drug azidothymidine ( AZT) during pregnancy. The year was also marked by the first official recognition (认可)that treating HIV-infected people with a combination(结合) of antiviral(抗毒素的) drugs is superior to treating them with only AZT, a drug that had been the gold standard of treatment since the late 1980s. At an international conference in Copenhagen, a pane(

[单项选择]A New Method to Kill AIDS Virus
_________(46). But researchers won’’t know for a year or more whether it will work, scientist David Ho told journalists here Wednesday for the Fourth Conference in Viruses and Infections.
"This is a study that’’s in progress," said Ho, head of the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center, New York.
The study involves 20 people who started combinations of anti-HIV drugs very early in the course of the disease, within 90 days of their infections. They’’ve been treated for up to 18 months. Four others have dropped out because of side effects or problems complying with the exacting drug system.
The drugs have knocked the AIDS virus down to undetectable levels in the blood of all remaining patients. And, in the latest development, scientists have now tested lymph nodes (淋巴结) and semen (精液) from a few patients and found no virus reproducing there._________(47).
Ho has calculated that the drugs should be able to wipe out remaining viruses—at

[单项选择] Reading Something In English

When you read a 【52】 in English, do you read it for the story or for the English This is a question that is not so foolish 【53】 it may seem, 【54】 I find that many students of English 【55】 far more attention to the story than to the English. They read and enjoy and 【56】 a long time afterwards remember the story, but do not care to study the use of words and 【57】 in it. For instance, they know the plot (情节) of the story 【58】 , but do not remember a 【59】 sentence in the story and cannot tell what preposition is used before or 【60】 a certain word in the speech of a certain character(人物).
Of course, it is all right to read and 【61】 and remember a story, and so long as one 【62】 to know the story only, one need not bother about the language. But the case is quite different 【63】 a student of English. I mean a student of English as di

[单项选择] Natural Medicines
Since earliest days, humans have used some kinds of medicines. We know this because humans have survived. Ancient treatments for injury and disease were successful enough to keep humans from dying out completely.
They were successful long before the time of modern medicine. Before the time of doctors with white coats and shiny (发亮的) instruments. Before the time of big hospitals with strange and wonderful equipment.
Many parts of the world still do not have university-educated doctors. Nor do they have expensive hospitals. Yet injuries are treated. And diseases are often cured. How By ancient methods. By medicines that might seem mysterious, even magical (有魔力的). Traditional medicines are neither mysterious nor magical, however.
Through the centuries, tribal (部落的) medicine men experimented with plants. They found many useful chemicals in the plants. And scientists believe many of these traditional medicines may provide

[单项选择]Hints for Reading Practice
1. Most of us can find 15 minutes or half an hour each day for some specific regular activity. For example, one famous surgeon always made it a rule to spend at least 15 minutes on general reading before he went to sleep each day. Whether he went to bed at 10 p. m. or 2. 30 a. m. made no difference.
2. Nearly all "Speed Reading" courses have a "pacing"——some timing device which lets the students
know how many words a minute he is reading. You can do this simply by looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and noting down the page number you have reached.
3. Obviously there is little point in increasing your reading speed if you do not understand what you are reading. If you find you have lost the thread of the story, or you cannot remember clearly the details of what was said, re-read the section or chapter.
4. Take four or five pages of an interesting book you happen to be reading at the time. Read them as fast as you possibly can. Do not
