It is now commonly known that AIDS is a deadly disease. It does great damage to human beings’ immune system, weakening resistance to disease and leading to death due to utter weakness. To this day, there are no existing drugs that can kill AIDS virus. It is a deadly battle between science and AIDS.

This is only one side of the story. Although it can not be cured, AIDS is preventable. For those who have not caught the disease, the knowledge of preventive measures seems to be the most powerful weapon at hand.

Since the discovery of the first AIDS patient in 1985, the number of HIV carriers is on an alarming rise in China and statistics show that young people are the more likely victims of AIDS. Nationwide there are 214 million people between the ages of 13 and 22, most of whom are students. If no measures are taken to protect these young people, it is almost certain that the threat of AIDS will be very real to them. There has been a great deal of misinformation concerning the transmission of AIDS.

One of the most misleading myths is that AIDS can be transmitted by casual physical contact such as kissing, shaking hands or sharing food container. Surveys and investigations conducted in some universities and colleges show that half of those people questioned are not clear about how AIDS is transmitted, not to mention how it is prevented.

This is the driving force behind the State Education Department’s decision to spread AIDS awareness information among college students and later to high school students and primary school students.

69．Why does the passage say that AIDS is a deadly disease?

     A．Because it destroys the immune system of the human body.

     B．Because the AIDS patients cannot resist the disease and will die.

     C．Because the doctors now find no medicine to cure AIDS.

     D．All of the above.

70．By writing “This is only one side of the story”, the author suggests that_____.

     A．a(chǎn)lthough we can’t cure AIDS, we can manage to prevent it.

     B．AIDS is very dangerous, but we should not be scared of it.

     C．AIDS is not curable, but doctors should not give up fighting against it.

     D．a(chǎn)lthough the doctors cannot cure the disease, they can help improve the patients’ health.

71．What can be concluded from the surveys and investigations mentioned in the passage?

     A．No college students know how people become AIDS victims.

     B．50 percent of college students do not know how to prevent AIDS.

     C．Many college students are not aware how people become AIDS victims.

     D．Many college students did not mention AIDS prevention in the surveys and investigations.

72．What is the best title of this passage?

     A．China Fights AIDS               B．Young People—Most likely AIDS Victims

     C．AIDS Information Is Necessary    D．AIDS—A Deadly Disease

In Europe people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right throughout the meal, a system that is generally agreed to be more efficient than the American zigzag（曲折的）method. Americans hold both the fork and the knife in their right hands throughout the meal, so they continually change their forks to the left hand when they have to cut their meat. It seems to be funny for the Europeans to see Americans busy changing their dinner sets, making a lot of noises. A few explanations for this American style are as follows:
(1)Americans are practical and efficient. Since most of us are right-handed, it is reasonable to keep our working tools at all times in the right hand that can use them most efficiently.?
(2)Americans, the master of the New World are rebels（叛逆者）.They use the zigzag method to break the rules in the Old World and in this way they are thumbing their nose at Mother England. Americans are a restless kind. They do not like to sit in one spot for very long when dining.
(3)Forced to do so, they respond by “playing” with the silver.?
Whatever the reason for the practice, it is now certainly as American as apple pie. Europeans recognize this and are quick to attack it as evidence of American innocence（無知）of form. Arguments against the zigzag method rest not only on grounds of efficiency but also on those of tradition. In Old World dining, the knife is held in the right hand continually because it can serve as an instant defense against the uninvited intruders（入侵者）.However, such alertness（警覺） is out of place in the New World, as every American believes that this is the home of the brave. Americans juggle their silverware, perhaps, to show that they are not afraid and that one of them holding a fork is worth any number of them holding blades（刀）.?
【小題1】Americans use _______ to hold their fork to pick up the salad.?

A．the right handB．the left hand?
C．both handsD．either of the two hands?
【小題2】As the masters of the New World, Americans use a different cutting method from that in the Old World to _______.?
A．show their independence of Mother England?
B．show their disrespect to Mother England?
C．a(chǎn)dd a new tradition to those in Mother England?
D．show off their creativeness to Mother England?
【小題3】In the sentence, the word “juggle” probably means _______.?
A．holdB．play withC．pick upD．lay down??
【小題4】Which of the following statements is NOT true? ?
A．European people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand.
B．The zigzag eating method is related to American characteristics.?
C．The zigzag eating method has become an American feature.?
D．European people will use the American method because of its efficiency.

The Eiffel Tower was built in 1889, in memory of the 100th birthday of the French Revolution. The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII of England, opened the tower. Of the 700 suggestions that were handed in, Gustave Eiffel’s was chosen.
However, at first, it was not well accepted by all and a group of people — including many well-known writers and painters at that time — were fiercely against its design.
Being about 300 meters in height, and 7,000 tons in weight, it was the world’s tallest building until 1930. It was a great project for France. 300 workers took two years to build it. It isn’t an ordinary building, since it is almost made of steel. For example, its body moves around at most 12 cm in heavy wind. Moreover, its height changes up to 15 cm according to the temperature.
It was almost destroyed in 1909, but was saved because of its antenna(天線), which is used for communication at that time. Beginning in 1910 it became part of the International Time Service. French radio and French television have also made good use of its height.
The Eiffel Tower has also seen a few strange things. In 1923, a journalist rode a bicycle down from the first level of it. And in 1954, a mountain climber climbed on top of it and tried to measure its exact height.
Anyway, although its birth was difficult, it is now well accepted all over the world. It has been considered as one of the symbols of Paris.
【小題1】The passage mainly tells us ________.  

A．the history of the Eiffel Tower
B．some information about its design
C．what the Eiffel Tower was used for
D．how it became one of the symbols of Paris
【小題2】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this passage?
A．Many people couldn’t accept the Eiffel Tower at the beginning.
B．It was the world’s tallest building for hundreds of years.
C．A journalist rode down from the Eiffel Tower in 1954.
D．The Eiffel Tower was saved because of its height.
【小題3】The French Revolution took place in _______.
A．1889B．1923C．1789D．1930
