HIV/AIDS is an important health issue in children and adolescents(青少年). Since the first clinical evidence of AIDS was reported two decades ago, HIV/AIDS has spread to every corner of the world.
Children and young people are at the center of the epidemic(流行病).
According to estimates by UNAIDS and WHO, more than four million children under the age of 15 have been infected with HIV since the epidemic began. More than 90% of them were infants born to HIV-positive mothers who acquired the virus before or during birth or through breastfeeding. Because HIV infection often progresses quickly to AIDS in children, most of the children under 15 who have been infected have developed AIDS, and most of these children have died. Another 13 million children have lost their mother or both parents to the disease.
An estimated 10.3 million young people aged 15～24 are living with HIV/AIDS, and half of all new infections―over, 7,000 daily―are occurring among young people. Young people are vulnerable(易受攻擊的)to HIV because of risky sexual behaviour, substance use and their lack of access to HIV information and prevention services. Many young people do not believe that HIV is a threat to them, and many others do not know how to protect themselves from HIV.
Today, HIV/AIDS is still spreading rapidly. The epidemic is reversing (使倒退)development gains, robbing millions of people of their lives, widening the gap between rich and poor, and destroying young people’s opportunities for healthy adult lives.
Within the WHO Department of Child and Adolescent Health and Development (CAH), HIV/AIDS work is taking place in the following areas:
Preventing the transmission of HIV infection in babies;
Improving care and management of children with symptomatic HIV infection;
Preventing and treating adolescents with HIV/ADIS.
65、When was the first case of AIDS reported?
A．Ten years ago. B．Twenty years ago.
C．Thirty years ago. D．Fifty years ago.
66、How many AIDS patients are under 24 in the world?
A．4 million. B．13 million. C．10.3 million. D．14.3 million.
67、Which of the following is NOT the result of AIDS in children and adolescents?
A．Gaining weight.
B．Losing life.
C．Widening the gap between rich and poor.
D．Destroying young people’s opportunities for healthy adult lives.
68、What will the WHO Department of Child and Adolescent Health and Development
(CAH), HIV/AIDS do?
A．Prevent the transmission of HIV infection in babies.
B．Improve care and management of children with symptomatic HIV infection.
C．Prevent and treating adolescents with HIV/AIDS.
D．All of the above.

Karen, grown up in a 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 .

I am wearing a small red ribbon this morning to remind myself and others around me that today is World AIDS Day.
The red ribbon, an international symbol of AIDS awareness, is gaining increasing public recognition as more Chinese, from top leaders to movie stars, wear it today.
Gone were the days when the topic of HIV/AIDS was a public and media taboo(禁忌). Over the past few years, we have watched, read and heard many stories from doctors, volunteers and public health officials at the forefront of HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment.
Quite a few people with HIV/AIDS have come forward to share their experiences on TV or in the media.
The local and central governments have become more forthcoming (be helpful) with their new prevention and treatment programmes, and financial input. The latter rose from less than 1 million yuan (US$ 121,000) in 1986 to a pledge of 800 million yuan (US$98.8 million) in the year of 2006.
The change from silence to public and media campaigns with official promises has been remarkable, especially since China battled through the SARS crisis.
But have we got a full grip on HIV/AIDS? What do we know about the extent of HIV/AIDS in China?
The figures, ranging from confirmed cases to estimates, remain debated. After all, no more than a year has passed since the policy of free medical tests was made public. Unknown numbers from the high-risk groups: drug addicts and people working in sex- related places as well as farmers who once sold blood could still be reluctant to come forward.
69. What does the red ribbon stand for?
A. AIDS B. World AIDS Day
C. AIDS awareness D. AIDS prevention and treatment
70. Which of the following is Not true according to the text?
A. The topic of HIV/AIDS was a public and media taboo in the past.
B. The topic of HIV/AIDS is now still a public and media taboo.
C. Now a lot of people with HIV/AIDS have come forward to share their experiences on TV.
D. The writer wears a small red ribbon because today is World AIDS Day.
71. In paragraph 5 “the latter” refers to ____________________.
A. financial input B. new prevention programmes
C. new treatment programmes D. the central governments
72. We can learn from the text that high-risk groups of HIV/AIDS in China include the following EXCEPT __________________.
A. drug addicts B. people working in sex-related place
C. farmer who once sold blood D. people getting close to those affected with HIV/AIDS

Health experts are calling for action to increase cancer care and control in the developing world. A medical research paper says cancer was once thought of as a problem mostly in the developed world. But now cancer is a leading cause of death and disability in poor countries as well. Experts from Harvard University and other organizations urge the international community to fight cancer actively, saying it should be fought in the way HIV/AIDS has been fought in Africa.
Cancer kills more than 7.5 million people a year worldwide. Almost two-thirds are in low-income and middle-income countries.
They discover cancer kills more people in developing countries than AIDS, tuberculosis (肺結核) and malaria (瘧疾) combined. But the world spends only 5% of its cancer resources in those countries.
Felicia Knaul from Harvard Medical School was one of the writers of the paper. She was in Mexico when she was found to have breast cancer. She received treatment there and her experience showed her the sharp difference between the rich and the poor in treating breast cancer.
Felicia Knaul says, “And we are seeing how this is attacking young women. It’s the number two cause of death in Mexico for women thirty to fifty-four. All over the developing world, it’s the number one cancer-related death among young women. I think we have to again say that there is much more we could do about it than we are doing about it.”
Professor Knalul met community health workers during her work in developing countries. They were an important part of efforts to reduce deaths from the cancer. They were able to persuade people to get tested to prevent the illness. The experts say cancer care does not have to be costly. For example, patients can be treated with lower-cost drugs.
1.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Cancer – a leading cause of death in poor countries
B. What should we do in preventing and treating cancer?
C. What makes the first killer in developing countries?
D. Experts urge more efforts to fight cancer.
2.Felicia Knaul’s experience in Mexico shows that .
A. many Mexican women suffer from breast cancer
B. there is not enough medicine for cancer there
C. many Mexican women can’t afford medical care
D. patients with breast cancer are treated differently
3.From what Felicia Knaul says, we can draw the conclusion that .
A. breast cancer is a great threat to young women
B. people don’t pay enough attention to breast cancer
C. breast cancer is the second killer among women in Mexico
D. patients can be treated effectively in developing countries
4.Who plays an important part in preventing the cancer in developing countries?
A. The cancer patients. B. The health experts.
C. Community health workers. D. Young women.
5.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The number of cancer cases is decreasing.
B. HIV/AIDS is not being taken seriously in Africa.
C. Over 7.5 million people die of cancer every year.
D. It is very expensive to treat cancer.
