         I am wearing a small red ribbon this morning to remind myself and others around me that today is World
    AIDS Day.
         The red ribbon, an international symbol of AIDS awareness, is gaining increasing public recognition as
    more Chinese, from top leaders to movie stars, wear it today.
         Gone were the days when the topic of HIV/AIDS was a public and media taboo (禁忌). Over the past few
    years, we have watched, read and heard many stories from doctors, volunteers and public health officials at
    the forefront of HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment.
         Quite a few people with HIV/AIDS have come forward to share their experiences on TV or in the media.
         The local and central governments have become more forthcoming (be helpful) with their new prevention
    and treatment programmes, and financial input. The latter rose from less than 1 million yuan (US$ 121,000) in
    1986 to a pledge of 800 million yuan (US$98.8 million) in the year of 2006.
        The change from silence to public and media campaigns with official promises has been remarkable,
    especially since China battled through the SARS crisis.
         But have we got a full understanding on HIV/AIDS? What do we know about the extent of HIV/AIDS in
    China?
         The figures, ranging from confirmed cases to estimates, remain debated. After all, no more than a year has
    passed since the policy of free medical tests was make public. Unknown numbers from the high-risk groups
    drug addicts and people working in sex- related place as well as farmers who once sold blood could still be
    reluctant to come forward.
    1. what does the red ribbon stand for?
    A. AIDS
    B. World AIDS Day
    C. AIDS awareness
    D. AIDS prevention and treatment
    2. Which of the following is Not true according to the text?
    A. The topic of HIV/AIDS was a public and media taboo in the past.
    B. The topic of HIV/AIDS is now still a public and media taboo.
    C. Now a lot of people with HIV/AIDS have come forward to share their experiences on TV.
    D. The writer wears a small red ribbon because today is World AIDS Day.
    3. In paragragh 5 "The latter" refers _______.
    A. financial input
    B. new prevention programmes
    C. new treatment programmes
    D. the central governments
    4. We can learn from the text that high- risk groups of HIV/AIDS in
    China include the following EXCEPT ____.
    A. drug addicts
    B. people working in sex-related place
    C. farmer who once sold blood
    D. people getting close to those affected with HIV/AIDS
    5. What is the best title of the passage?
    A. The Red Ribbon
    B. Always keep red ribbon in sight
    C. About AIDS
    D. Help people with AIDS

         This book is written expressly (清楚地) for students in an attempt to present the material that is most
    useful and interesting to them. Previous courses in chemistry are not necessary for the understanding of the
    material, although those students who have had high school chemistry will find that a review of the inorganic
    section will better enable them to master the organic and biochemistry sections that follow.
         The author has felt that in the past there was an improper selection of material from inorganic, organic,
    and biochemistry in the majority of the textbooks of chemistry for nurses. The tendency has been to develop
    the inorganic chemistry to such an extent that organic and biochemistry are covered too briefly. The recent
    advances in biochemistry and their widespread application to the practice of medicine and nursing have
    considerably altered the situation. Not only is biochemistry more closely allied to the practical chemistry of
    medicine and nursing, but also it is of more interest to the students. In the author's experience the response
    to biochemistry has always been more favorable than to other sections. Within the brief period allotted to
     chemistry, therefore, the sections on inorganic, organic, and biochemistry should be so arranged that a good
    share of the time is spent on the study of biochemistry. This book presents mainly those fundamentals of
    inorganic and organic chemistry that are necessary for the understanding of the section on biochemistry.
        The fundamental points suggested in the Curriculum Guide are included in the book, with some additions
    in the biochemistry section. The author feels that a study of urine, vitamins, nutrition, and hormones is so
    obviously a part of biochemistry that at least the fundamentals should be included in this course.
         The book has been planned in such a way that it may be adapted to various courses in chemistry. The
    material suggested by Curriculum Guide is covered in the first nineteen chapters and may be used in
    accelerated courses or where minimum time is allotted to chemistry. When the time allotted to the course is
    sixty to ninety hours, the entire contents of the book may be used to advantage. While the book has been
    written especially to fit the needs of schools of nursing, it could readily be applied in instances where students
    are required to take but one course in chemistry. The apathetic (无动于衷的) attitude of nonprofessional
    students toward a course in inorganic chemistry may well be overcome by the proper presentation of material
    selected from inorganic, organic, and biochemistry.

    1. This piece of writing is _____.
    A. an introduction to a course book
    B. a professor's letter to his students
    C. the record of an introductory speech
    D. from a school announcement
    2. To read this book _____.
    A. previous course in chemistry are necessary
    B. a good mastery of biochemistry is essential
    C. one needn't have studied chemistry before
    D. one must first review his high school courses
    3. In the author's experience, the students are most interested in _____.
    A. inorganic chemistry
    B. biochemistry
    C. organic chemistry
    D. chemistry as a whole
    4. The underlined word "allotted" in the last paragraph means _____.
    A. separated
    B. obtained
    C. needed
    D. distributed
    5. Paragraph 4 suggests that one characteristic of this book is its _______.
    A. simplicity in presentation
    B. thoroughness in the field
    C. vividness of the language
    D. adaptability to various needs

                                                                 The Best of Friends
         The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young
    people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image (印象) of unhappy
    teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
          An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious
    than it has ever been in the past. "We were surprised by just how positive today's young people seem to be
    about their families," said one member of the research team."They're expected to be rebellious (叛逆的) and
    selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry
    about whether school is serving them well. There's more negotiation (商议) and discussion between parents
    and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don't want to rock
    the boat."
         So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their
    children as friends."My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me," says
    17-years-old Daniel Lazall."I always tell them when I'm going out clubbing. As long as they know what I'm
    doing, they're fine with it." Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. "Looking back on the last 10 years, there
    was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I'd done all my homework, I could go
    out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that."
         Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage
    rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments,"Our surprise that teenagers say they get along
    well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as
    different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during
    that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth
    change from helping out with the family business to taking it over."
    1. What is the popular image of teenagers today?
    A. They worry about school.
    B. They dislike living with their parents.
    C. They have to be locked in to avoid troubles.
    D. They quarrel a lot with other family members.
    2. The study shows that teenagers don't want to ______.
    A. share family responsibility
    B. cause trouble in their families
    C. go boating with their family
    D. make family decisions
    3. Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today's parents ______.
    A. go to clubs more often with their children
    B. are much stricter with their children
    C. care less about their children's life
    D. give their children more freedom
    4. According to the author, teenage rebellion ______.
    A. may be a false belief
    B. is common nowadays
    C. existed only in the 1960s
    D. resulted from changes in families
    5. What is the passage mainly about?
    A. Negotiation in family.
    B. Education in family.
    C. Harmony in family.
    D. Teenage trouble in family.

    阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150字左右的英语短文。
         The southwest of Australia has been named as one of 25 "hot spots" for future species extinction because
    of global warming. A new study says global warming will become a top cause of extinction across the world,
    with thousands of species of plants and animals likely to be wiped out in the coming decades.
         According to the study, global warming ranks among the most serious threats to the planet's biodiversity
    and, under some conditions, may be more than that due to deforestation, this study provides even stronger
    scientific evidence that global warming will result in catastrophic species losses across the planet. Last month,
    a U.N. study said humans were responsible for the worst extinction and urged extra efforts to reach a U.N.
    target of slowing the rate of losses by 2010.
         Scientists disagree about how far global warming is to blame compared with other human threats such as
    deforestation, pollution and the introduction of some species to new habitats. But the new study looks at the
    25 "hot spots"-areas that contain a big concentration of plants and animals - and predicts that 11.6 percent of
    all species, with a range from 1 to 43 percent, could be driven to extinction if levels of heat trapping gases in
    the atmosphere were to keep rising in the next 100 years. 
         写作内容 1. 概括短文的内容要点,该部分的词数大约为30字; 
                         2. 以“Globe Warming Threatening Our Planet”为题,谈谈全球变暖对环境的影响。

                         A. 全球变暖的主要原因;
                         B. 全球变暖的危害;
                         C. 谈谈如何解决该问题。

    要抄袭阅读材料中的句子。
