Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points) 21 The

10、burning of two black churches in Clarendon county, S.C, last year may be a case of extremist terrorism. Clarendon county Sheriff Hoyt Collins said Welch was carrying a membership card for the Christian knights of the KKK when he was arrested. Federal authorities are considering civil-rights charges

11、against them, and FBI agents are investigating the possibility that the Clarendon county arsons are connected to other church fires. The reality is that the federal task force is entering a quagmire. Arson is always a tough crime to investigate, and the evidence in many of these cases is getting old

12、; some may never be solved with some 300,000 churches nationwide, there are approximately 600 cases of arson against church buildings every year. The overall trend is down, although not among black churches in the rural South. Many of these churches are older wooden buildings tinder-boxes located on

13、 country roads miles from police and fire departments. They are extremely vulnerable to arson and, because they burn so quickly, often destroy evidence of the crime as well. The black clergy who descended on Washington a week ago are deeply skeptical of ATF. One reason is that ATF agents who know fr

14、om experience that about half of all arsons are inside jobs have questioned and in some cases polygraph black churchmen search of leads. “they strapped a lie detector on me and asked me if I burned the church“, says Harold Smith, assistant pastor at the Inner city in Knoxville, Tenn. “When your life

15、 is in the ministry, it hurts to be asked questions like this“. Aggressive investigative tactics have already led to trouble at the top. Told that federal prosecutors had subpoenaed some black clergymen in a search for inside suspects, Attorney General Reno reportedly blew her stack and ordered to t

16、op-level summit meeting to set limits on the field agents tactics. As administration officials struggled to meet Clintons declared goal of bringing racially motivated arsons to a halt, new fires destroyed black churches in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Greenville, Texas. These fires inspired White

17、House aides to scramble Clintons travel schedule to allow the stop in Green Leyville, South Carolina where Clinton, in his familiar role as the nations consoler-in-chief, delivered a moving speech at the dedication of a black church that was burned out last year. But even Jackson acknowledged that C

18、linton must walk a fine line. Too much crusading by this president could prompt even more arsons by the loose cannons of the ultra right. Given the weird admixture of racism and simple loneness that lay behind these crimes, prayerful caution and even a measure of forgiveness seemed the wisest stance

19、. “We want the world to know we are not angry with anyone“, said Rev. A. Baldwin, summing up the tragedy, in Enid “we are a loving church. But it just broke my heart.“ 21 It can be inferred from the para. 1 that _. （ A） the Clarendon county are connected to other church fires （ B） the burning of chu

20、rches may be caused by terrorists （ C） no one was arrested （ D） FBI agents are not involved in the case 22 From the context the word “quagmire“ means_. （ A） mud （ B） pool （ C） wet field （ D） difficult situation 23 Why are many churches called tinder-box? （ A） Because they are like boxes （ B） For the

21、y are made from wood （ C） Because they are black churches （ D） For they are located on country roads 24 Which statement is NOT true according to para. 2?_. （ A） The black clergy depended on Washington （ B） The black clergy didnt trust ATF （ C） The number of cases of arson is generally decreased in U

22、.S. （ D） There are about 600 churches burnt in U.S. every year 25 What is the attitude of Rev A Baldwin towards the burning of churches? （ A） Angry （ B） Indifferent （ C） Forgiveness （ D） Hate 26 “Ouch!“ you cry as your doctor “stabs“ you in a finger or in that sensitive spot on the inside of your el

23、bow opposite your elbow. “Is the sharp, if momentary, pain necessary?“ You wonder as the doctor takes a sample of your blood. What is she up to anyway? What are blood tests for? Your blood is a vital part of your body. It picks up oxygen in your lungs and carries it to your cells, which use the oxyg

24、en to produce energy. It carries wastes away from your cells. It carries white blood cells and disease-fighting chemicals called antibodies to places where foreign invaders such as bacteria and viruses are causing infections. The white blood cells gobble up the invaders, and the antibodies knock the

25、m out. Your blood also carries food from your stomach and small intestine to all parts of your body. Clearly, a large loss of blood from an accident or disease can have serious consequences. So can an imbalance of the bloods parts. For example, a low concentration of white cells reduces the bodys ab

26、ility to fight infection. A low concentration of oxygen-carrying red cells robs the body of energy releasing oxygen. Suppose you lost a lot of blood, what would a doctor do? Replace the blood quickly as possible by giving you a transfusion of blood donated by another person. But the doctor cant use

27、just anyones blood. The donors blood has to be of a type that wont be destroyed by your blood. Blood type? Whats that? Remember the blood your doctor took from you? Well, some of that blood may have been used to find your blood type A, B, AB, or O. Each of us has one of these basic blood types (plus

28、 a number of subtypes). People with a certain type can receive blood of only certain other types. To find your blood type, the doctor sends your blood to a laboratory. There your red cells are separated from the other parts of your blood. These cells may have certain antigens (special proteins) on t

29、heir surfaces “A“ antigens and/or “B“ antigens. If your red cells have “A“ antigens you are type A, “B“ antigens make you type B both “A“ and “B“ antigens make you type AB, neither “A“ nor “B“ antigens makes you type O. How do you find those antigens? A lab technician mixes your red blood cells with

30、 two kinds of blood serum. One contains anti-A antibodies. The other kind contains anti-B antibodies. An antibody is a substance that “attacks“ a particular antigen, in this case “A“ or “B“ antigens. The technician taken looks at each mixture under a microscope to see what will happen to your blood

31、cells. Certain mixtures may make your red cells clump together. By finding which mixtures do this and which do not, the technician can figure out your blood type. But blood typing isnt the only reason to have a blood test taken. It can also check for signs of infection. How? When you have an infecti

32、on, especially a serious one, the number of white blood cells soars. This is normal response of your body to an invasion of germs. This time, a sample of blood goes to the lab for a CBC complete blood count. A technician will examine your blood under a microscope counting the white cells in a small

33、marked-off area. If the number is much higher than it ought to be, the doctor may need to treat you to be sure the infection doesnt spread. Other blood tests can determine the concentration of various chemicals in your blood or the variety and types of blood cells circulating in the blood. The infor

34、mation hidden in a drop of blood may lead a doctor to suggest ways to treat. Or avoid dangerous health conditions. Was the stick in the finger or arm necessary? If protecting yourself from danger is necessary, the answer has got to be yes! 26 It carries white blood cells and disease-fighting chemica

35、ls called antibodies to places where foreign invaders such as bacteria and viruses are causing infections this statement_. （ A） proves how blood fights against invaders （ B） implies how invaders cause infections （ C） dose not tell how white cells fight against foreign invaders （ D） explain the funct

36、ions of the red cells and white cells 27 In para. 4 the author uses an example to show_. （ A） what a low concentration of oxygen-carrying red cells will do （ B） the serious consequence of imbalance of the blood （ C） how a low concentration of white cells reduce the bodys ability to fight infection （

37、 D） how the red cells to carry oxygen to every part of body 28 But the doctor cant use just anyones blood. The donors blood has to be of a type that wont be destroyed by your blood. This statement means that_. （ A） the doctor cant use the donors blood because your blood can destroy this （ B） the doc

38、tor has to choose a donor whose blood can not be destroyed by your blood （ C） the doctor has to choose a certain type of blood from a donor whose blood will not be destroyed by yours （ D） the doctor can choose a certain type of blood from any donors 29 From para. 7 we may draw the conclusion that_.

39、（ A） your blood type is not decided by your red cells （ B） your blood type is decided by the antigens in your red cells （ C） your blood type is decided by the A, B or AB antigens （ D） your blood type is decided by the different kind of serum 30 In this article the author states that blood test has_.

40、 （ A） only one function （ B） two functions （ C） three functions （ D） four functions 31 Since USAID began its first HIV/AIDS prevention efforts eight years ago, the epidemic has changed dramatically. HIV has spread to every region of the world. Millions of people infected with HIV during the first de

41、cade of the epidemic are developing opportunistic infections and other AIDS-related illnesses, and many are dying. Women and children are among those most vulnerable to HIV infection. As HIV prevalence and AIDS mortality soar, millions of children will lose their parents. HIV/AIDS is having a devast

42、ating impact on the health and well-being of families, communities and nations worldwide. The epidemics effects on the structure of societies and the productivity of their members undermine efforts to promote sustainable development around the globe. USAIDs approach to slowing the spread of HIV/AIDS

43、 relies on strategies tested and refined over the past eight years. At the same time, the Agency is moving forward to address new challenges posed by the evolving epidemic. One of the important lessons learned during the past decade is that an effective response to HIV/ AIDS requires the full partic

44、ipation of people and communities affected by the virus. Although people living with HIV/AIDS are among the most successful advocates and communicators for prevention, too often their voices are not heard or heeded. Greater involvement of people living with HIV/AIDS is essential to creating the supp

45、ortive political, legal and social environments needed to control the epidemic. In December 1994 at the Paris AIDS Summit, representatives of 42 governments adopted a resolution pledging greater support for networks of people living with HIV/AIDS. Before and during the summit, members of these netwo

46、rks worked with government and multilateral organizations, including USAID, to develop a plan for translating the words of the resolution into concrete action. The Agency is committed to ensuring that people living with HIV/AIDS are accepted in full partnership with governments, international organi

47、zations and the private sector in developing, implementing and evaluating HIV/AIDS policies and programs. People living with HIV/AIDS and community-based organizations have been at the forefront of efforts to draw attention to the connection between compassionate AIDS care and effective HIV preventi

48、on. In the absence of a vaccine or cure, USAID continues to emphasize HIV/AIDS prevention. But as the number of people suffering from AIDS-related illness begins to increase dramatically, the Agency is also exploring ways to reduce the social impact of AIDS and enhance prevention efforts by integrat

49、ing prevention and care. The Agency will also continue to pioneer regional approaches to an epidemic that does not recognize national boundaries. Cross-border interventions throughout the world will target mobile populations, including migrant workers, tourists, traders, transport workers and people displaced by war and social disruption. 31 Since USAID began its first HIV/AIDS prevention efforts eight years ago, the epidemic has c
