    Attitudes to AIDS Now
         Most people say that the USA is making progress in fighting AIDS, but they don't know there's no cure and strongly disagree that "the AIDS epidemic(流行病)is over," a new survey finds.
         The findings, released Thursday by the Kaiser Family Foundation, reassure activists who have worried
    that public concern about AIDS might disappear in light of recent news about advances in treatment and
    declines in deaths.
         "While people are very optimistic about the advances, they're still realistic about the fact that there is no cure" says Sophia Chang, director of HIV programs at the foundation.
         The Kaiser survey, like a recent USA TODAY Gallup Poll, does find that the number of people
    ranking AIDS as the country's top health problem has fallen. In the Kaiser Poll, 38% say it's the top
    concern, down from 44% in a 1996 poll; in the Gallup Poll, 29% say AIDS in No.1, down from 41% in
    1992 and 67% in 1987.
         Other findings from Kaiser, which polled more than 1,200 adults in September and October and asked additional questions of another 1,000 adults in November:
         52% say the country is making progress against AIDS, up from 32% in 1995.
         52% say the government spends too little on AIDS.
         86% correctly say AIDS drugs can now lengthen lives; an equal number correctly say that the drugs are not cures.
         67% incorrectly say that AIDS deaths increased or stayed the same in the past year; 24% know deaths fell.
         Daniel Zingale, director of AIDS Action Council, says, "I'm encouraged that the American people are
    getting the message that the AIDS epidemic isn't over. I hope the decision-makers in Washington are
    getting the same message… We have seen signs of complacency(自鸣得意).
    1. According to the Kaiser Poll, which of the following is NOT correct?
    A. The country is making progress against AIDS.
    B. AIDS drugs still cannot save people's lives.
    C. AIDS drugs can now make people live longer.
    D. More and more people die of AIDS now.
    2. The word "message" in the last paragraph means     .
    A. printed new
    B. contact  
    C. meaning    
    D. central idea
    3. What do activists worry about?
    A. Recent news about AIDS is not true.
    B. People may stop worrying about AIDS.
    C. Deaths caused by AIDS may not decline.
    D. Advances in AIDS treatment are too slow.
    4. According to the passage, people's attitude toward the cure of AIDS is       .
    A. optimistic.  
    B. hopeless.  
    C. pessimistic  
    D. realistic.
    5. The Gallup Poll shows that the number of people      .
    A. who suffer from the worst disease--- AIDS has fallen.
    B. who think AIDS threatens the countryside has fallen.
    C. who worry about AIDS and health problems has fallen.
    D. who think AIDS is the country's top health killer has fallen.

    第三部分阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳答案。
    Governors, lawyers and business leaders have to deal with scientists, and every educated person finds his views affected by science. Yet our science teaching of non-scientists, in school and college, has built up mistaken ideas, dislikes, and the common boast(自夸), "I never did understand science." Even those students who arrive at colleges with plans to become scientists usually bring a mistaken picture of science: some have a collection of unorganized facts about science, and some regard the study of science as a game which includes getting the right answer.
    The first of these attitudes seems to come from a kind of course which provides various kinds of information; the second, from a training course on how to pass examinations that do not ask about the student's understand but simply require him to put the numbers in the right formula(公式). Neither type of courses in school or college seems to give students an understanding of science as we find it among scientists. Neither shows students how real scientists work and think, how the facts are gathered, how discoveries are made, and what they mean. Young people need good teaching of science, not so much as great wealth of knowledge as a healthy understanding of the nature of science. They need an understanding of knowledge leading to agreement with science and an eagerness of the way scientists work. Given these it is easy to encourage later reading and learning.
    56. One of the reasons that cause mistaken ideas of science is due to _______.
    A. a mistaken picture in students' mind       
    B. the unscientific way of teaching of science
    C. the fact that students fail to see the influence of science
    D. the fact that students have a collection of unrelated facts about science
    57. According to the passage, we can safely say that the subject of the passage is ______.
    A. need for good science teaching              
    B. young people should form a correct attitude to science
    C. students must know what science is and how scientists work and think
    D. every person, including governors, lawyers and business leaders should study science
    58. A good course of science is ______.
    A. to provide students with all kinds of information
    B. to teach students to do things according to formulas
    C. to help students have a good understanding and form a correct attitude to science
    D. to encourage students to make themselves masters of knowledge
    59. People such as governors, lawyers and business leaders deal with scientists mainly because ______.
    A. scientists are great persons                           
    B. they owe much to scientists' contributions
    C. they can be affected by scientists when they are together
    D. scientists make discoveries and help people live a more comfortable and safer life

    第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
    阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    “Tell me, Wally,” my amazed friend asked the driver, “have you always served customers like this?”
    Wally smiled into the back-view mirror.
    “No, not always. In fact, it’s only been in the last two years. My first five years driving, I spent most of my time complaining like all the rest of the taxi drivers do. Then I heard the personal growth of Wayne Dyer, on the radio one day. He had just written a book called You’ll See It When You Believe It. Dyer said that if you get up in the morning expecting to have a bad day, you’ll rarely disappoint yourself. He said, ‘Stop complaining! Distinguish yourself from your competition. Don’t be a duck. Be an eagle. Ducks quack and complain. Eagles fly high above the crowd.’”
    “That hit me right between the eyes. Dyer was really talking about me. I was always quacking and complaining, so I decided to change my attitude and become an eagle. I looked around at the other taxis and their drivers. The taxis were dirty, the drivers were unfriendly, and the customers were unhappy. So I decided to make some changes. I put in a few at a time. When my customers responded well, I did more.”
    “I take it that has paid off for you,” I said.
    “It sure has,” Wally replied. “My first year as an eagle, I doubled my income from the previous year. This year I’ll probably quadruple(增四倍) it. You were lucky to get me today. I don’t sit at taxi-stands anymore. My customers call me for appointments on my cell phone or leave a message on my answering machine. If I can’t pick them up myself, I get a trustworthy friend to do it and I take a piece of the action.”
    Wally was phenomenal. He was running a first-class service out of a Yellow Taxi.
    I’ve probably told that story to more than fifty taxi drivers over the years, and only two took the idea and ran with it. Whenever I go to their cities, I give them a call. The rest of the drivers quacked like ducks and told me all the reasons they couldn’t do any of what I was suggesting.
    Wally, the Taxi Driver, made a different choice.
    51.   The underlined word “phenomenal” means ______.
    A．easy-going           B．warm-hearted      C．flexible              D．remarkable
    52.   Wally doesn’t park his taxi at taxi-stands just because _______.
    A．his income doubles.
    B．his taxi is usually fully booked
    C．he has a company of his own.
    D．he has a look of a disgusting eagle
    53.   Wally’s income doubled when he improved his service about ______.
    A．one year ago                                        B．two years ago
    C．five years ago                                       D．seven years ago
    54.   After reading the passage we may draw a safe conclusion that ______.
    A．kindness must be rewarded
    B．it’s easy to say but hard to do
    C．good service pays off in the end
    D．the early bird catches the worm

    第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分,满分40分）
    I have recently been diagnosed with an addiction-to coffee. And I am not alone. This is a problem among Americans of all ages. The coffee shop has become a social feature in our culture. Its appealing smell, cozy and inviting atmosphere are difficult to resist, especially if you struggle with an addiction like alcohol.
    But, when you look past the leather couches and coffees named after European cities, all you'll find is coffee, milk, and a little sugar. Anyone can buy a Coffeemaker and a container of Coffee Mate and try to create the same drink as a coffee shop does. The only difference between your homemade coffee and coffee shops is that they put it in a cute cup and throw on some whipped (泡沫状的) cream to convince us that we are treating ourselves to a worthy relief from the fast pace of everyday life. And we believe them, silly for the idea that drinking their coffee improves our quality of life.
    So, next time this "white chocolate" begins echoing in your mind, you'll have to make a decision: Will you continue to be one of the millions of brainwashed Americans who live for their next trip to a coffee shop, or will you just walk away and ignore it? My advice is -- dare to resist and just say no.
    61. The major features of a coffee shop are the following EXCEPT its _______.
    A. attractive smell                                      B. comfortable surrounding
    C. pleasant atmosphere                                D. alcohol-like addiction
    62. The coffee from coffee shops differs from homemade coffee mainly because it _______.
    A. is mixed with whipped cream                B. is usually served in a cute cup
    C. offers a feeling of precious relief               D. can improve the quality of life
    63. "White chocolate" in the last paragraph probably means _______.
    A. coffee with cream                             B. chocolate with coffee
    C. brainwashed Americans                      D. addiction to shop coffee
    64. The author's attitude towards "white chocolate" is _______.
    A. positive             B. uncaring          C. negative             D. optimistic

    Many teenagers（青少年） feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for some ideas.

    It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something. These things are difficult to tell their family members.
