Need for Emphasis on Treatment
AIDS programs in developing countries put too little emphasis on treatment,the World Health Organization
said Tuesday,asking for more small community-based clinics to be opened to treat HIV-infected people.
An estimated 36 million to 46 million people are living with AIDS,two-thirds of them in Africa,but
only 440,000 people in developing countries were receiving treatment by the end of 2003,the UN health
agency said in its annual report.
"Without treatment,all of them will die a premature and in most cases painful death,"the WHO said in
the 169-page World Health Report.
WHO Director General Lee Jong-wook said community-based treatment should be added to disease pre-
vention and care for sufferers in AIDS programs.
"Future generations will judge our time in large part by our response to the AIDS disease,"Lee said.
"By tackling it decisively we will also be building health systems that can meet the health needs of
today and tomorrow. This is a historic opportunity we cannot afford to miss,"he added.
Antiretroviral drugs enable people hit by AIDS to live longer. The annual cost of treatment,which was
about $10,000 when the drugs were first developed,has dropped to about$150.
Treatment programs also help AIDS prevention efforts,the report said,citing great demands for testing
and counseling where treatment has been made available.
Good counseling in turn leads to more effective prevention in those who are uninfected,and significantly
reduces the potential for HIV carriers to pass on the infection,the report said.
Since its discovery in the 1980s,more than 20 million have died of AIDS,mostly in poor countries.

参考答案
参考解析
解析：本题为事实细节分析题。从文章第二段“An estimated 36 million to 46 million people are with AIDS,two-thirds of them in Africa,but only 440,000 people in developing countries were re-ceiving treatment by the end of 2003”可知，在非洲艾滋病患者高达两、三千万人，而生活在发展 中国家的艾滋病患者，接受治疗的人数却只有44万，相对来说太少了。
从文章第二段中最后一句话中“annual report"，可知世界卫生组织的“世界卫生报告” 是每年发表一次。
本题为推理判断题。从文章第四段和第五段内容可知，Lee说到：社会应对艾滋病的预 防加大力度，多关心艾滋病患者；后代对我们这一时代的评价主要取决于我们对待艾滋病的反 应。由此可见：对待艾滋病，我们的反应是至关重要的一件事。故选A。
文章倒数第三段提到，对于艾滋病的治疗对预防艾滋病也颇有益处。
文章最后一段指出，自从20世纪80年代发现艾滋病到现在，已有两千万人死于该病。 第三篇 本篇文章主要讲述了几种解决讲话时口干问题的方法，提出在演讲之前不能饮酒。告诫大 家改掉坏毛病保护好嗓子。

第二篇 Chronic Diseases: The World's Leading KillerChronic diseases are the leading cause of death in the world.Yet health experts say these conditions are often the most preventable.Chronic diseases include heart disease, stroke,cancer,diabetes（糖尿病）and lung disorders.The World Health Organization says chronic diseases lead to about seventeen million early deaths each year.This United Nations agency expects more than three hundred eighty million people to die of chronic diseases by 2015.It says about eighty percent of the deaths will happen in developing nations.The WHO says chronic diseases now cause two-thirds of all deaths in the Asia-Pacific area,ln ten years it could be almost three-fourths.People are getting sick in their mosteconomically productive years.In fact,experts say chronic diseases are killing more middle-aged people in poorer countries than in wealthier ones.The WHO estimates that chronic diseases will cost China alone more than five hundred thousand million dollars in the next ten years.That estimate represents the costs of medical treatment and lost productivity.Russia and lndia are also expected to face huge economic losses.Kim Hak-Su is the head of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific.Last week in Bangkok he presented a WHO report on the problem.It says deaths from chronic diseases have increased largely as the result of economic gains in many countries.The report details the latest findings from nine countries.They include Brazil,Britain, Canada,China,India and Nigeria.The others are Pakistan,Russia and Tanzania.Mister Kim says infectious and parasitic（寄生的）diseases have until recently been the main killers in Asia and the Pacific.But he says they are no longer the major cause of death in most countries.Health officials say as many as eighty percent of deaths from chronic diseases could be prevented.They say an important tool for governments is to restrict the marketing of alcohol and tobacco to young people.Also,more programs are needed to urge healthy eating and more physical activity.UN officials aim through international action to reduce chronic-disease deaths by two percent each year through 2015.They say meeting that target could save thirty-six million lives.That includes twenty-five million in Asia and the Pacific. Which is NOT mentioned as a way to prevent chronic-disease deaths?A:Timely medical treatment.B: Healthy eating.C: More physical activity.D:Reduction in drinking and smoking.

Communications Revolution Cyberspace,data superhighway,multi-media-for those who have seen the future,the linking of computers, television and telephones will change our lives forever.Yet for all the talk of a forthcoming technological utopia little attention has been given to the implications of these developments for the poor.As with all new high technology,while the West concerns itself.with the"how",the question of"for whom"is put aside once again. Economists are only now realizing the full extent to which the communications revolution has affected the world economy.Information technology allows the extension of trade across geographical and industrial boundaries,and transnational corporations take full advantage of it.Terms of trade,exchange and interest rates and money movements are more important than the production of goods.The electronic economy made possible by information technology allows the haves to increase their control on global markets-with destructive impact on the have-nots. For them the result is instability.Developing countries which rely on the production of a small range of goods for export are made to feel like small parts in the international economic machine.As"futures"are traded on computer screens,developing countries simply have less and less control of their destinies. So what are the options for regaining control?One alternative is for developing countries to buy in the latest computers and telecommunications themselves-so-called"development communications"modernization.Yet this leads to long-term dependency and perhaps permanent constraints on developing countries'economies. Communications technology is generally exported from the U.S.,Europe or Japan;the patents,skills and ability to manufacture remain in the hands of a few industrialized countries.It is also expensive,and imported products and services must therefore be bought on credit-credit usually provided by the very countries whose companies stand to gain. Furthermore,when new technology is introduced there is often too low a level of expertise to exploit it for native development.This means that while local elites,foreign communities and subsidiaries of transnational corporations may benefit,those whose lives depend on access to the information are denied by it.Why does the author say that the electronic economy may have a destructive impact on developing countries?A:Because it destroys the economic balance of the poor countries.B:Because it inhibits the industrial growth of developing countries.C:Because it enables the developed countries to control the international market.D:Because it violates the national boundaries of the poor countries.

U.S.Signs Global Tobacco Treaty 1 The United States has taken the first step toward approving a global tobacco treaty that promises to help control the deadly effects of tobacco use throughout the world.Health and Human Services Secretary, Tommy Thompson, signed the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control(FCTC)this week at the United Nations.The Senate must still approve the treaty before the U.S.can implement its provisions. 2 The FCTC was developed by the World Health Organization and approved by members of the World Health Assembly,including the United States,last year.Countries that ratify it would be required to enact strict tobacco control policies. 3 For instance,cigarettes sold in those countries would have to have health warnings on at least 30% of the front and back of every pack.The treaty calls for higher tobacco taxes,restrictions on smoking in public places,and more promotion of tobacco prevention and cessation programs.It also requires bans on tobacco advertising,though there are some exceptions for countries like the United States,where the Constitution prohibits such an outright ban. 4 The impact of the treaty could be huge.The World Health Organization estimates that tobacco use kills nearly 5 million people worldwide every year.In the U.S.alone,about 440,000 people die each year from tobacco-related illnesses;about one-third of all cancers in the U.S.are caused by tobacco use.If current trends continue,WHO estimates,by 2025 tobacco will kill 10 million people each year. 5 The treaty must be ratified by at least 40 countries before it can take effect.So far,109 countries have signed it,and 1 2 have ratified it.Many more countries have signed the FCTC than those that______.A:have ratified itB:approving itC:implement its provisionsD:restrict smoking in public placesE:caused by tobacco useF:including higher tobacco taxes

第二篇Need for Emphasis on TreatmentAIDS programs in developing countries put too little emphasis on treatment,the World Health Organization said Tuesday,asking for more small community-based clinics to be opened to treat HIV-infected people.An estimated 36 million to 46 million people are living with AIDS,two-thirds of them in Africa,but only 440,000 people in developing countries were receiving treatment by the end of 2003,the UN health agency said in its annual report."Without treatment,all of them will die a premature and in most cases painful death,"the WHO said in the 169-page World Health Report.WHO Director General Lee Jong-wook said community-based treatment should be added to disease pre- vention and care for sufferers in AIDS programs."Future generations will judge our time in large part by our response to the AIDS disease,"Lee said. "By tackling it decisively we will also be building health systems that can meet the health needs oftoday and tomorrow. This is a historic opportunity we cannot afford to miss,"he added.Antiretroviral drugs enable people hit by AIDS to live longer. The annual cost of treatment,which was about $10,000 when the drugs were first developed,has dropped to about$150.Treatment programs also help AIDS prevention efforts,the report said,citing great demands for testing and counseling where treatment has been made available.Good counseling in turn leads to more effective prevention in those who are uninfected,and significantly reduces the potential for HIV carriers to pass on the infection,the report said.Since its discovery in the 1980s,more than 20 million have died of AIDS,mostly in poor countries.According to Lee,our response to the AIDS disease is__________.A:a matter of great significance B:a matter of little significanceC:overemphasizedD:timely

第三篇Global Cancer Rates to Rise by 50% by 2020The number of new cancer cases worldwide is expected to increase by 50%by the year 2020.But a new report suggests that as many as a third of new cancers could be avoided by adopting healthier lifestyles and through public health action.The World Cancer Report,released by the International Agency for Research on Cancer,shows that cancer has now emerged as a major public health threat in developing countries as well as rich ones.Overall,cancer was responsible for 12%of all deaths in 2000.But in many countries more than a quarter of all deaths are caused by cancer.The report shows that 1 0 million new cancers were diagnosed globally in 2000,and that number is expected to rise to 15 million by 2020.Researchers say most of that increase will mainly be due to steadily aging populations in both developed and developing countries and current trends in smoking and other unhealthy habits."Cancer has emerged as a major public health problem in developing countries for the first time, matching its effect in industrialized（工业化的）countries , " said researcher Paul Kleihues,MD,director of IARC,in a news release."Once considered a'Western' disease,the Report highlights that more than 50 percent of the world's cancer burden,in terms of both numbers of cases and deaths,already occurs in developing countries."The risk of being diagnosed with cancer in developed countries is double that in less-developed ones.However,the risk of dying from cancer is much higher in developing countries , where 80% of cancer patients already have late-stage incurable tumors（肿瘤） at the time of diagnosis.Researchers say cancer rates have traditionally been higher in developed countries due to greater exposure to tobacco,occupational carcinogens（致癌物）,and an unhealthy Western diet and lifestyle.As less-developed countries become industrialized and more prosperous,they tend to adopt the high-fat diet and low physical activity levels typically seen in the West,which increase cancer rates. Which of the following statements is NOT correct?A:There were 1 0 million cancer patients worldwide in 2000.B:Generally,cancer accounted for 12% of all deaths in 2000.C:Cancer is the cause of over 25%of all deaths in many countries.D:It is expected that global cancer rates will go up by 50%by 2020.

B:46 million.C:Around 440,000. D:More than 20 million.

Yet for all the talk of a forthcoming technological utopia（乌托邦）,little attention has been given to the implications of these developments for the poor. As with all new high technology,the West concerns itself with the"how to benefit".The question of"for whom"is put aside once again.Economists are only now realizing the full extent to which the communications revolution has affected the world economy.Information technology allows the extension of trade across geographical and industrial boundaries,and transnational corporations take full advantage of it. Terms of trade ex-change,interest rates and money movements are more important than the production of goods.The electronic economy made possible by information revolution.Technology allows the haves to increase their control on global markets and with destructive impact on the have-nots.For them the result is instability. Developing countries which rely on the production of a small range of goods for export are made to feel like small parts in the international economic machine.As "futures"（期货）are traded on computer screens, developing countries simply have less and less control of their destinies.So what are the options for regaining control?One alternative is for developing countries to buy in the latest computers and telecommunications themselves一so-called"development communications"modernization.Yet this leads to long-term dependency and perhaps permanent constraints on developing countries' economies.Communications technology is generally exported from the U.S.,Europe or Japan.The patents, skills and ability to manufacture remain in the hands of a few industrialized countries.Furthermore,when new technology is introduced,there is often too low a level of expertise to exploit native development.This means that while local elites,foreign communities and subsidiaries of transitional corporations may benefit,but not developing countries.It can be inferred from the passage that______.A:international trade should be expandedB:the interests of the poor countries have not been given enough considerationC:the exports of the poor countries should be increasedD:communications technology in the developing countries should be modernized
