15、II.Reading Comprehension Directions: Read the following passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.(21 points) Passage 1In the United States, about 750,000 persons have suffered AIDS. More than one half of them have died. But doctors say evidence (证据) also shows there is no reason for p

16、ersons to become terrified (惊吓) by the disease. The AIDS virus is spread during sex with an infected partner, or by infected blood. But doctors say their studies show the disease is not spread through normal, close social activities. A study by one research team was printed in the New England Journa

17、l (杂志) of Medicine. The doctors studied one-hundred-one family members who lived with AIDS and lived in crowded conditions. The family members shared many personal goods with the patients. These included toothbrushes, drinking glasses, beds, towels and toilets. Doctors said only one family member a

18、five-year-old girl got the AIDS virus. They note, however, that the girls mother had the disease. They believe the girl probably was born with the virus. No other family member in the study got the AIDS virus or showed any signs of the disease. The head of the study, Gerald Friedland, said if the di

19、sease is not easily spread in crowded homes, it also will not spread easily in factories, offices, schools and other public places. Doctor Friedland said the study also shows there is no reason to punish AIDS patients and to force them to live separately from other persons. American health officials

20、 recently warned, however, that some health care workers should take special care. The report noted the AIDS virus is carried in blood and other body fluids. It said health care workers should put protective (爱惜性的) covers over their eyes and skin during medical operations, dental (牙科的) work, or othe

21、r times when the patient may bleed. In the United States, most AIDS patients are homosexual (同性恋的) men, people taking drugs who used infected needles (针头), and persons who received infected blood. More recent studies show the AIDS virus also can be spread during heterosexual (异性的) relations. It can

22、spread either from the man to the woman, or from the woman to the man. 21.Doctors say there is no reason for people to be frightened about AIDS because _.A) it is not deadlyB) few people are infected with AIDSC) the AIDS virus is not spread in everyday social activities.D) the AIDS virus is not spre

26、 drugsB) Persons who offer infected blood to othersC) Men who are gayD) Married menPassage 2British writer Arthur C. Clarkes science fiction novel Childhoods End describes a future world society. The following is part of his description. By the standards （标准） of all earlier ages, it was Utopia (a pe

27、rfect society). Ignorance, disease, poverty, and fear had actually stopped existing. The memory of war was fading into the past as a bad dream disappears with the dawn; soon it would lie outside the experience of all living men. With the energies of society going to construction sites, the face of t

28、he world had been remade. It was a new world. . Production had become largely automatic: the robot （机械人） factories produced goods in such unending production lines that all the ordinary goods of life were practically free. Men worked in the interest of the comfort they wanted; or they did not work a

29、t all. It was one world, although the old names of the old countries were still used. There was no one on earth who could not speak English, who could not read, who was not within range of a television set, who could not visit the other side of the planet within twenty-four hours . Crime had almost

30、disappeared. It had become both unnecessary and impossible. When no one lacks anything, there is no point in stealing.One of the most obvious changes had been a slowing down of the mad speed that had so described （给予特点） the twentieth century. Life was freer than it had been for generations. It, ther

31、efore, had less competing for the few, but more peacefulness for the many. Western man had relearned what the rest of the world had never forgotten that there was nothing wrong with relaxing （休闲） as long as it did not fall into ordinary laziness. Education was now much more thorough and much more popular. Few people left college before twenty and that was merely the first stage, since they usually returned again at twenty-five for at least three more years, after travel and experience had broadened their minds. Even then, they would probably take review c
