ETheworld'srichestmansaid“stoppingAIDS”isthetoppriorityoftheBillandMelindaGatesFoundation.

FButthatwastrueofonlytwopercentofthosewhohadthequicktest.

答案与题解:

1.D整个第二段都是有关比尔·盖茨夫妇的。第一句说,比尔·盖茨夫妇要求加快研究,研发一些能杀死微生物的预防制剂提供给妇女性交时使用。第三句以后则分别列出比尔·盖茨夫妇所说的话。那么D项所说的“他们希望这些产品可以预防引起艾滋病的病毒感染"5E好与第一句相衔接,况且全篇文章还没有第二个地方提到两个人以上可以用代词they来代替的,所以D项是正确答案。

2.E本空白处的前面两句话分别用间接引语和直接引语介绍比尔·盖茨所说的话,选项E仍是介绍比尔·盖茨讲话的内容,所以填在这里是恰当的。本选项中所说的theworld'srichestman正是比尔·盖茨,他是全球首富。

3.B本段前两句介绍的是美冈前总统比尔·克林顿的讲话,选项B仍是克林顿讲话的内容,况且文章其他地方都没有提到克林顿,因此填在这里是最恰当的。

4.F本空白处前面说到,做HIV检验有两种方法:新的快速方法只需大约20分钟,而另一种常用的慢.速方法则需两周。研究人员说,做慢速检验的人中有25%没有回来看检验结果,而选项F则说“做快速检验的人中不回来看结果的则只有25%”,作为快慢速检验方法的对比,填在此处是最恰当不过的了。

5.A本空白处前一句介绍了JulianBond是重要的民权机构NAACP的主席,而选项A说,“他说,非裔美国人‘应该面对艾滋病已经变成黑人病这个事实’。”文章中没有第二个地方提到chairman这个词,而选项A一开头就提到Thechairmansaid…,可见此处答案非它莫属了。
