【正确答案】：

A

1.0分

【答案解析】

主旨题。

文章第一段为全文的主旨段，第一句话即说明社会必须从公开宣传和课堂教育两个方面为人们提供关于AIDS的教育，然后分析了作者自己在大学开设AIDS课程的原因。

而后面两段则是论述了他开设这一课程要达到的两个重要目标。

因此不难看出全文主旨为[A]。

第2题

WhydidtheauthoroffertheAIDScourse?

AHewantedtoteachpeopleaboutacureforAIDS.

BPeopleneedtobetaughthowtoavoidthosewithAIDS.

CHewantedtoteachthestudentsthatAIDSresultedfrommoralfailure.

DPeopletakeimproperattitudestowardsAIDSandthosewithorathighriskofAIDS.

D

分析推理题。

第一段分析了作者自己在大学开没AIDS课程的原因。

作者指出，那些患上AIDS的人和高危人群受到人们的歧视和不公正对待，人们害怕他们，而其他人则表现得强作镇定，这些都是befatal。

此外，AIDS已经使这个本已缺少人性、友好和乐观的社会雪上加霜，等等，都是作者开设这一课程的原因。

对照选项，可知应选[D]。

第3题

Theword"

afflict"

inthethirdsentenceofthefirstparagraphmostprobablymeans"

______"

.

Abenefit

Bcausesufferingto

Cteach

Ddrawattentionfrom

B

词义推测题。

由该词宾语society的后置定语alreadyshorton…andoptimism可以看出，afflict应当是一种否定性含义，含有让本已不好的状况进一步恶化的意思。

四个选项中只有[B]是否定义。

afflict本义指“使染上重病，折磨”。

第4题

WhatdoestheauthorthinkisthecorrectresponsetoAIDS?

AFearandcontempt.

BOptimismandbravado.

CUnderstandingandcompassion.

DResentmentandavoidance.

C

细节题。

答案信息对应于第二段第二句：

TheproperresponsetoAIDSiscompassion…anunderstandingofthediseaseitself．即对待艾滋病的正确态度是同情并了解这一疾病本身，选[C]。

第5题

Whichofthefollowingcanbestexplain"

accordingtothepassage?

AAIDSisasignofmoralfailureandsocialcollapse.

BAIDSindicatesthatoursocialsystemshavebeenveryinefficient.

CTheresponsesofasocietytothethreatofAIDSdetermineswhetherandtowhatextentthesocietycanbecalledcivilized.

DThespreadingofthefataldiseasesuggeststhatthenation'

sresourceshavebeenwronglyused.

题中一句话是第三段的主旨句，第三段谈论的是国家单位、社会机构等对待艾滋病的态度会影响到与这一疾病的斗争结果、影响到社会的文明程度。

由此可知这一主旨句的意思是[C]。
