For ea

14、ch multiple-choice question, there are four suggested answers marked A , B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer._(1) On July 7th, I was traveling in London. I was having breakfast at a hotel very near Liverpool Street Station when the first explosion was detonated. Hearing the

15、sirens and seeing Londons emergency personnel respond to the bombings brought back vivid memories of the events of Sept. 11, 2001. (2) People have not forgotten Sept. 11, 2001. Americans can still recall exactly where they were and what they were doing on that fateful day. But its understandable tha

16、t some remember it as historical fact, lacking the painful impact and immediacy they originally felt. If we allow a dimming of purposeto eliminate terrorismthese terrorist attacks in London serve as another chilling reminder that were still at war. (3) Something constructive emerges from these tragi

17、c, horrible and unexplainable attacks. It is the message that we must remain vigilant in opposing an enemy who intentionally targets innocent civilians. (4) Since Sept. 11, 2001, the civilized nations of the world have remained mostly united in opposing these despicable, wanton acts of terror. We ha

18、ve had some great successes in that effort. We have arrested perpetrators and plotters, and we have foiled planned attacks. We have reduced the power and scope of those who despise freedom and democracy. (5) The effort must continue. As we learned Thursdayand in Madrid and Balithe enemies of freedom

19、 have not lost their resolve. We must not lose ours. (6) Ultimately, the only real defense from terrorist attacks; is being able to find out about them in advance. Intelligence gathering has improved but needs to be even stronger, including consistently improving human intelligence and patrol. Polic

20、e and ordinary citizens must be alert and encouraged to convey information. (7) Once a terrorist incident does occur, theres no such thing as a perfect response. By definition, a terrorist attack means people are being hurt or killed. But by studying the response to past attacks, we can better prepa

21、re to handle those in the future. (8) London is one of the most secure cities in the world, steeped in years of dealing with terrorism. The citys preparation and resolve was evident on Thursday. I am very impressed by Londons reaction to the bombings. Both the emergency personnel and the citizens se

22、emed prepared. The first responders were rapid, well-directed, organized and professional, in accordance with obviously well-tested plans. (9) As for the citizens, at least a dozen people told me in one way or another, We knew this was going to happen; it was just a question of when. (10) That is no

23、t only a realistic assessment; it also is a mindset that just might save lives. Political, business and community leaders are sometimes reluctant to talk about terrorism or stage drills to prepare their response because they dont want to frighten or upset people. But thats a mistake. People react to

24、 emergencies more effectively when theyre not shocked by them. (11) Tony Blair and London Mayor Ken Livingstone have made preparedness a priority, and their efforts clearly paid off during Thursdays response to the attacks. (12) Theres another benefit to preparing for terrorism in advance. Part of t

25、he damage the terrorists hope to inflict is the emotional reaction in the wake of the destruction. The reason its called terrorism is that they want fear and its debilitating effects to linger long after the smoke has cleared. (13) By preparing citizens for the possibility of a terrorist attack, lea

26、ders can help minimize the emotional response in the wake of the destruction. (14) Finally, Thursdays attacks demonstrate that we must remain committed to confronting and eliminating terrorism. There are those who assert that the efforts to eliminate terror are somehow provoking the terrorists. That

27、 is wrong. The terrorists have been attacking innocent people long before Sept. 11, 2001, or the wars in Afghanistan or Iraq. (15) Seeing Prime Minister Blair speak so forcefully, with President Bush, President Jacques Chirac and other world leaders right behind him, was encouraging. Lets remember t

28、he unity the world shared after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. (16) Free nations can and will disagree. But let us always remember that free people must be steadfast and resilient in defending our way of life.（分数：8.00）(1).The terrorist attack in London conveys to us the message that _.（分数：2.00）A.peo

29、ple in London did not feel painfulB.we must be on the alert for terrorismC.we should stay at home to avoid terrorismD.the effort at anti-terrorism was in vain(2).In the authors opinion, which of the following is NOT the success weve achieved in the effort to fight against terrorist attack?（分数：2.00）A

30、.We have arrested perpetrators and plotters.B.We have prevented planned attacks.C.We have combated and eliminated terrorism.D.We have reduced the power and scope of terrorists.(3).According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the way to defend terrorist attacks?（分数：2.00）A.Improving human i

31、ntelligence and patrol.B.Alerting police and citizens to terrorism.C.Finding out terrorists before they attack.D.Studying the response to past attacks.(4).The sentence . steeped in years of dealing with terrorism in the 8th paragraph means that _.（分数：2.00）A.London has been engaged in anti-terrorism

32、for yearsB.London hasnt witnessed terrorism for yearsC.London has been targeted by terrorists for yearsD.London has been soaked in terrorist attacks for years(1) Researchers who picked up and analyzed wild chimp droppings said on Thursday they had shown how the AIDS virus originated in wild apes in

33、Cameroon and then spread in humans across Africa and eventually the world. Their study, published in the journal Science, supports other studies that suggest people somehow caught the deadly human immunodeficiency virus (HTV) from chimpanzees, perhaps by killing and eating them. (2) It says that the

34、 chimpanzee group that gave rise to HIV. this chimp community resides in Cameroon, said Beatrice Hahn of the University of Alabama, who led the study. But that doesnt mean the epidemic originated there because it didnt, Hahn, who has been studying the genetic origin of HIV for years, said in a telep

35、hone interview. (3) We actually know where the epidemic took off. The epidemic took off in Kinshasa, in Brazzaville. Kinshasa is in the Democratic Republic Congo, formerly Zaire, and faces Brazzaville, in Congo, across the Congo River. Studies have traced HIV to a man who gave a blood sample in 1959

36、 in Kinshasa, then called Leopoldville. Later analysis found the AIDS virus. (4) In people, HIV leads to AIDS but chimps have a version called simian immune deficiency virus (SIV) that causes them no harm. Humans are the only animals naturally susceptible to HIV. AIDS was only identified 25 years ag

37、o. The virus now infects 40 million people around the world and has killed 25 million. Spread in blood, sexual contact and from mother to child during birth or breastfeeding, HIV has no cure and there is no vaccine, although drug cocktails can control it. (5) And like so many new infections, AIDS ap

38、pears to have been passed to humans from animals they slaughtered. SIV has been found in captive chimps but Hahn wanted to show it could be found in the wild too. Her international team got the cooperation of the government in Cameroon and they hired skilled trackers. (6) The chimps in that area are

39、 hunted. Its certainly impossible to see them. It is hard to track them and find these materials, she said. But the trackers managed to collect 599 samples of droppings. Hahns lab found DNA, identified each individual chimp and then found evidence of the virus. (7) We went to 10 field sites and we f

40、ound evidence of infection in five. We were able to identify a total of 16 infected chimps and we were able to get viral sequences from all of them, Hahn said. Up to 35 percent of the apes in some communities were infected. Not only that, they could find different varieties, called clades, of the vi

41、rus. (8) We found some of the clades were really, really very closely related to the human virus and others were not, she said. Chimps separated by a river were infected with different clades, Hahn said. And a river may have carried the virus into the human population. So how do you get from souther

42、n Cameroon to the Democratic Republic of Congo? Hahn asked. Some human must have done so. There is a river that goes from that southeastern corner of Cameroon down to the Congo River. (9) Ivory and hardwood traders used the Sangha River in the 1930s, when the original human-to-human transmission is

43、believed to have happened. Hahns study suggests the virus passed from chimpanzees to people more than once. We dont really know how these transmissions occurred, Hahn said. (10) We know that you dont get it petting a chimp, or from a toilet seat, just like you cant get HIV from a toilet seat. It req

44、uires exposure to infected blood and infected body fluids. So if you get bitten by an angry chimp while you are hunting it, which could do it. (11) Hahns study only applies the HIV group M, which is the main strain of the virus responsible for the AIDS pandemic. Its quite possible that still other (

45、chimpanzee SIV) lineages exist that could pose risks for human infection and prove problematic for HIV diagnostic and vaccines, her team wrote.（分数：6.00）(1).From the description in the passage, we learn that _.（分数：2.00）A.monkeys are also susceptible to HIVB.AIDS has killed 25 million people in the la

46、st 25 yearsC.vaccine has been developed to prevent AIDSD.AIDS can be cured by drug cocktails(2).According to the passage, HIV is spread through all the following EXCEPT _.（分数：2.00）A.bloodB.sexual contactC.breastfeedingD.a toilet seat(3).It can be inferred from the passage that the virus is transmitted from chimps in Cameroon to humans most probably through _.（分数：2.00）A.some clades of th
