Privacy Worry May Keep HIV Patients from Therapy
Patients infected with HIV are often concerned about the confidentiality of their HIV-positive status. In fact, some patients are so worried that they will actually give up treatmentto prevent the release of this information, according to a report published in the Augustissue of AIDS Care.Dr. Kathryn Whetten-Goldstein and colleagues from Duke University, Durham, NorthCarolina, studied the confidentiality issues of 15 HIV-infected patients from rural NorthCarolina locations. They were divided into groups designed to explore their attitudestoward, and experiences with, breaches in confidentiality."The fear of a breach in confidentiality is definitely affecting the care that HIV-infectedpatients receive," Whetten-Goldstein said. "Most studied patients had experienced or knewsomeone who had experienced a breach in confidentiality.""Two types of breaches occurred, " Whetten-Goldstein noted. "The first was a moreobvious type of breach. One example was a nurse who told her child that her patient wasHIV-positive out of concern that her child would play with the patient's child.""The other type of breach was more subtle, one that providers might not consider breaches," Whetten-Goldstein explained. "This type of breach involves providers talking about apatient's HIV status without the patient's knowledge of the interaction.""The law allows the sharing of information between providers within the same institution,but patient's consent must be obtained before providers at different institutions can shareinformation,"she pointed out."Patients in the study wanted providers to tell them when they are going to shareinformation with other providers and why it is being done," Whetten-Goldstein said. "They also felt that providers should be punished when a breach occurs.""However, because patients are often reluctant to seek legal action which may further expose their status, they felt that the system should regulate itself," she added. All patients in the study refuse to receive any treatment because of the possibility to expose their HIV status.
A: Right
B: Wrong
C: Not mentioned
答案:B
解析:题干 ：研究中所有的病人都拒绝接受任何治疗，因为这可能会暴露自己携带HIV病毒的状况。第一段第二句说，“事实上，有些病人如此担心以至于真的要放弃治疗以防止个人隐私被泄露”。这里指的只是some，而不是all，故本题是错误的。
(17) Worry about breaches in confidentiality of the HIV status has nothing to do with the curative effects on patients.
A: Right
B: Wrong
C: Not mentioned
答案:B
解析: 题干 ：担心破坏HIV状况的保密性，与有效治疗病人毫无关系。第三段第一句说，“担心泄密必定影响HIV感染者所接受的治疗”，而本题却说它“与疗效无关”(have nothing to do with)，显然是错误的。
(18) Medical workers of an institution cannot freely provide their HTV-patients' information to those of other institutions.
A: Right
B: Wrong
C: Not mentioned
答案:A
解析:
题干 ：一个机构的医疗工作者不能将HIV病人的信息随意透露给其他机构。第六段说，“法律允许同一单位的医生共同使用病人资料，其他单位的医生必须征得病人同意才能使用这些资料”，故本题是正确的。
(19) Whether an HIV-infected patient agrees to other (not his) medical workers' sharing the information about his HIV status is one of the rights given by the constitution.
A: Right
B: Wrong
C: Not mentioned
答案:C
解析:
题干 ：病人是否同意其他医生使用他们的HIV病情资料是宪法赋予的权利之一。通篇文章只在第六段说必须征得病人同意，而根本没有提到宪法，应属于没有提到。
(20) Most patients in the study strongly object to the breaches in the confidentiality of their HIV status.
A: Right
B: Wrong
C: Not mentioned
答案:A
解析:
题干 ：大多数病人强烈反对泄露他们的HIV病情。这与第七段第二句所说的“他们还认为泄密的医生应该受到惩罚”是相一致的，故应是正确的。
(21) Quite a few patients will firmly defend their own right if such a breach occurs.
A: Right
B: Wrong
C: Not mentioned
答案:B
解析: 题干 ：如果发生泄密，许多病人(注意quite a few是“相当多” 的意思，不是a few几个)会坚决捍卫自己的权利。这与第八段所说的“病人常常不愿意采取法律行动，因为这样会进一步暴露其病情”是不一致的，故应是错误的。
(22) Breaches in confidentiality are common in medical circles all over the world.
A: Right
B: Wrong
C: Not mentioned
答案:C
解析:
题干 ：泄密在世界各国的医务界都是常事。文章第三段虽然指出大部分调查对象都有类似经历或者认识有过类似经历的人，但并没有提及这种事是否在世界范围内常常发生。

Estee Lauder Died
1 The child of Central European immigrants who created an international cosmetics(化妆品)empire and became one of the most influential women in US, died on Saturday.Estee Lauder died at her home in Manhattan, New York City, a company spokeswoman said. She was 97.
2 Born in Queens, New York in 1908, Lauder was the daughter of a Hungarian mother and a Czech father.
3 Lauder began her business career by selling skincare products developed by her uncle John Schotz, a chemist, to beauty salons (美容院) and hotels. In 1930, she married Joseph Lauder who became her partner. The company, which became known as Estee Lauder, took off after World War II.
4 In 1953, the company introduced its first perfume (香水), Youth Dew, the first of a range of fragrances that has now grown to more than 70. They include: Aramis, a line of products forb men, launched in 1964; and Clinique, a range of odourless (无臭的) cosmetics, which followed in 1968.
5 By the time she retired in 1995, Lauder was presiding over a multibillion-dollar enterprise,which now ranks number 349 in the Fortune 500 list of largest US companies. In 1998, she was the only woman to feature in Time magazine's selection of the 20 most important business geniuses of the last century. There were two secrets to her success: her gift for selling things and her tireless energy and determination never to accept second best.
6 Even after her retirement at the age of 89, Lauder remained closely involved. Beauty, Lauder believed, was the most important thing in life.
7 She wrote in her 1985 autobiography, "Estee, a Success Story" : "In a perfect world, we'd all be judged on the sweetness of our souls. But in our less than perfect world, the woman who looks pretty has a distinct advantage and, usually, the last word. "

Schooling and Education
It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education.
Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school.The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no limits. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or in the job, whether in a kitchen or in a theatre. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a respected grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in education from infancy (婴儿期) on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term.
It is a lifelong (一生的) process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an integral (基本的) part of one's entire life. Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take assigned (指定的) seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are words or an understanding of the working of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are defmite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
Which of the following is TRUE according to the author?
A: School is the place where people get informal education.
B: Education means schooling.
C: Education can be both formal and informal.
D: Going to school is the only way to receive education.
答案:C
解析:
细节题。题干 ：根据作者的意思，以下哪个说法是正确的?利用题干定位不到相关信息
，改由通过四个选项分别定位。第二段中的“Educationknowsnolimits…Itincludes both the
formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal
learning”意为“教育没有限制……它既包括在学校里接受的正规学习，
也包括所有的非正规学习”，故A和D选项是错误的，C选项是正确的。
同时在第一段中提到“The distinction between schooling and education implied by this
remark is important”，即“上学和受教育之间的区别是非常重要的”。故B错误。
(32) Education is different from schooling in that__________.
A: the former is predictable while the latter is not
B: the former is specific while the latter is not
C: the former is a formalized process while the latter is not
D: the former is more open-ended and all-inclusive than the latter
答案:D
解析:
细节题。题干 ：在__________ ，上学和受教育是有区别的。
利用题干不能直接定位到相关信息，但在第二段提到“Education is much more
open.ended and all-inclusive than
schooling”，即“教育比上学更开放，更包容”。故答案为D。
(33) When does education begin?
A: Before one enters school.
B: After one enters school.
C: After one graduates from college.
D: After one retires from work.
答案:A
解析: 题干 ：教育是从何时开始的?利用题干关键词定位不到相关信息。但是第二段中的
“It is a lifelong(一生的)process，a process that starts long before the start of
school”，即“这是一个持续一生的过程，在上学之前早就开始了”。题干中的start
和原文中的begin是近义词，都是表示“开始”，A选项中的before one enters
school和原文中的before the start of school也是同义表达，故答案为A。
(34) The fact that children arrive at school at about the same time shows that__________.
A: schoolingimposes a lot of strain on the students
B: schooling has a clear boundary
C: schooling follows more or less the same pattern
D: schooling includes different aspects of learning
答案:C
解析:
推理题。题干 ：孩子们大概在同一时间到达学校，表明了__________。利用题干关键词
children arrive at school定位到第三段“Schoolin9，on the other hand，is a
specific，formalized process，whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the
next .Throughout a country,children arrive at school at approximately the same time，take
assigned(指定的)seats，are taught by an adult，use similar textbooks，do homework，take
exams，and SO
on.”，即“另一方面，上学是一个特定而正式的学习过程。它的普遍模式相差不大。
纵观全国，孩子们在差不多同样的时间到学校，坐在指定的位置上，由大人教学，
使用相同的教科书，做作业，参加考试，等等”。由此可知，
同一时间上学是为了说明前面的论点而举的例子。即学校采取大体一致的模式，
故答案为C。
(35) What is the author's attitude toward schooling?
A: Positive.
B: Negative.
C: Neutral( 中立的).
D: Supportive.
答案:C
解析:
态度题。题干 ：作者对学校教育的态度是什么?定位到文章最后一段，
作者客观介绍了学校教育的一些情况，比如大体相同的模式，学校课程设置的限制等，
因此作者的态度是neutral( 中立的)。故答案为C。
(36)根据下面材料，回答题。
Lead Pollution (铅污染)
Lead deposits, which accumulated in soil and snow during the 1960's and 70's, wereprimarily the result of leaded gasoline emissions originating in the United States. In thetwenty years that the Clean Air Act has mandated unleaded gas use in the United States, thelead accumulation worldwide has decreased significantly.
A study published recently in the journal Nature shows that air-borne leaded gas emissionsfrom the United States were the leading contributor to the high concentration of lead in thesnow in Greenland. The new study is a result of the continued research led by Dr. CharlesBoutron, an expert on the impact of heavy metals on the environment at the National Centerfor Scientific Research in France. A study by Dr. Boutron published in 1991 showed thatlead levels in arctic (北极的) snow were declining.
In his new study, Dr. Boutron found the ratios of the different forms of lead in the leadedgasoline used in the United States were different from the ratios of European, Asian andCanadian gasolines and thus enabled scientists to differentiate (区分) the lead sources. Thedominant lead ratio found in Greenland snow matched that found in gasoline from theUnited States.
In a study published in the journal/Imbio (人类环境杂志), scientists found that lead levelsin soil in the Northeastern United States had decreased markedly since the introduction ofunleaded gasoline.
Many scientists had believed that the lead would stay in soil and snow for a longer period.
The authors of the Ambio study examined samples of the upper layers of soil taken from thesame sites of 30 forest floors in New England, New York and Pennsylvania in 1980 and in1990. The forest environment processed and redistributed the lead faster than the scientistshad expected.
Scientists say both studies demonstrate that certain parts of the ecosystem(生态系统).respond rapidly to reductions in atmospheric pollution, but that these findingsshould not be used as a license to pollute.
The study published in the journal Nature indicates that__________.
A: the US is the major source of lead pollution in arctic snowB: the Clean Air Act has not produced the desired resultsC: lead will stay in soil and snow longer than expectedD: lead deposits in arctic snow are on the increase2016
答案:A
解析:细节题。题干 ：《自然》杂志上刊登的研究表明__________。第二段开头提到 《
自然》杂志上刊登的研究表明来自美国的通过空气传播的含铅气体是导致格陵兰雪地中
铅浓度高的主要原因。而格陵兰就是位于北极圈内。因此A正确，
美国是北极雪中铅污染的主要来源。
(37) Lead accumulation worldwide decreased significantly after the use of unleaded gas in
the us__________.
A: was discouraged
B: was prohibited by law
C: was enforced by law
D: was introduced
答案:C
解析:
细节题。题干 ：美国法律强制使用无铅汽油后，世界范围的铅金属积累量明显
----------------------- Page 20-----------------------
__________。第一段最后一句话支持这一说法，文中的“mandated”与C选项中的
“enforced”意思相同，都是“强制” 的意思。
(38) How did scientists discover the source of lead pollution in Greenland?
A: By analyzing the data published in journals like Nature and Ambio.
B: By comparing the chemical compositions of leaded gasoline used in various countries.
C: By observing the lead accumulations in different parts of the arctic area.
D: By studying the chemical elements of soil and snow in Northeastern America.
答案:B
解析:
细节题。题干 ：科学家是怎样发现格陵兰的铅污染来源的?
第三段提到科学家发现美国汽油中的各种铅金属比重不同于欧洲、亚洲和加拿大的。
通过比较这些铅比的不同可判断出格陵兰雪中的铅污染主要来自美国。因此B正确。
(39) The authors of the Ambio study have found that__________.
A: forests get rid of lead pollution faster than expected
B: lead deposits are widely distributed in the forests of the US
C: lead accumulations in forests are more difficult to deal with
D: the upper layers of soil in forests are easily polluted by lead emissions
答案:A
解析:
细节题。题干 ：《人类环境》杂志研究的作者发现了__________。
倒数第二段结尾提到森林环境处理铅的速度之快，超出了科学家们的预期。因此A正确
。
(40) It can be inferred from the last paragraph that scientists__________.
A: feel relieved by the use of unleaded gasoline
B: are puzzled by the mystery of forest pollution
C: lack sufficient means to combat lead pollution
D: still consider lead pollution a problem
答案:D
解析:
推理题。题干 ：通过最后一段能推测出什么?
最后一段提到了两项研究说明某些生态系统对大气污染的减少给出了快速的回应，
但是这并不能作为进一步污染行为的许可证。因此D正确，
科学家们仍然认为铅污染是个问题。
(41) 根据下面材料，回答题。
It is predicted that there will be 5 scientific breakthroughs in the 21st century. We'll knowwhere we came from. Why does the universe exist? To put it another way, why is theresomething instead of nothing? Since the 1920s, scientists have known the universe isexpanding, which means it must have started at a definite time in the past. They even havedeveloped theories that give a detailed picture of the evolution of the universe from the timeit was a fraction of a second old to the present. Over the next couple of decades, thesetheories will be refined by data from extraordinary powerful new telescope. We will have abetter understanding of how matter behaves at the unfathomably high temperatures andpressures of the early universe.
We'll crack the genetic code and conquer cancer. In 19th century operas, when the heroinecoughs in the first act, the audience knows she will die of tuberculosis in Act 3. But thanksto 20th century antibiotics, the once dreaded, once incurable disease now can mean nothingmore serious than taking some pills. As scientists learn more about the genetic code and theway cells work at the molecular level, many serious diseases--cancer, for one- will becomeless threatening. Using manufactured "therapeutic" viruses, doctors will be able to replacecancer causing damaged DNA
with healthy genes, probably administered by a pill or injection.
We'll live longer (120 years?) If the normal aging process is basically a furious, invisiblecontest in our cells- a contest between damage to our DNA and our cells ability to repair thatdamage- then 21st century strides in genetic medicine may let us control and even reversethe process. But before we push scientists to do more, consider: Do we really want to live ina world where no one grows old and few children are born because the planet can hold onlyso many people?
Where would new ideas come from? What would we do with all that extra time?
We'll "manage" Earth. In the next millennium, well stop talking about the weather but willdo something about it. Well gradually learn how to predict the effects of human activity onthe Earth,its climate and its ecosystems. And with that knowledge will come an increasingwillingness to use it to manage the workings of our planet.
