Karen, grown up in a very traditional family in the western United States, maintained high moral(道德的)standards throughout her youth. In 1984, at the age of 23, she married Bill. They were blessed with two children, a boy and a girl.

By 1991 their love had deepened, and they were happy. Later that year Bill developed a white spot on his tongue. He visited a doctor.

One day shortly after that, Bill called Karen to sit beside him. He said with tears in his eyes that he loved her and wanted to live forever with her. The doctor suspected that he had been infected with HIV , the virus that leads to AIDS。

The family was tested. Bill and Karen’s results were positive. Bill had become infected before he met Karen; then he passed the virus on to Karen. The children’s results were negative. Within three years, Bill was dead. “I don’t know how to express what it is like to watch a once handsome man you love and intend to live with forever dying slowly. I cried many nights. He died three months short of ten years of our marriage,” says Karen. Though a doctor told Karen that she would soon follow her husband into death, she is still alive. The infection has progressed to the early stages of AIDS.

Karen is but one of about 30 million people now living with HIV/AIDS, a figure larger than the combined populations of Australia, Ireland and Paraguay. According to one UN report, Africa has 21 million of these victims. By the turn of the century that number could reach 40 million and the disease will bring on the greatest disaster in human history. Of the world’s sexually active adults aged 15 to 49, 1 in 100 has already been infected with HIV. Of these, only 1 in 10 realizes that he or she is infected. In some parts of Africa, 25 percent of the adults are infected.

Since the beginning of the spread of AIDS in 1981, about 11.7 million people have died of it. It is roughly calculated that in 1997 alone, about 2.3 million people died of it. Nevertheless, there are fresh reasons for optimism in the battle against AIDS. During the past few years, there has been a drop in new AIDS cases in wealthy nations. In addition, promising drugs hold out hope of better health and longer life.

64. By telling the story of Karen, the author intends to __________________.

A. warn people against high risk behaviours

    B. stress the importance of medical test

    C. express sympathy for AIDS victims

    D. show the consequences of AIDS

65. The underlined part in Paragraph 1 most probably means “__________________”.

A. were lucky in having      B. were asked to adopt

C. regretted having          D. gave birth to

66. Bill was suspected of being infected with HIV after __________.

A. he got married to Karen

    B. the family members were tested

    C. Karen persuaded him to see the doctor

    D. he found something wrong with his tongue

67.It can be concluded from the passage that _________.

    A. promising drugs will soon stop AIDS

    B. the spread of AIDS could be controlled

    C. it is hopeless to win the battle against AIDS

    D. the death rate of AIDS patients has been reduced

After her parents separated, things at tam’s house changed. Her mom, still working, and Tami became responsible for the house and making meals for herself and her younger sister. Though money was right, they never went without. They had a nice home in a modest neighborhood food, belching and shelter. What Tami missed most of all, though, was family.

Tami spent the summer during her ninth grade year working at a park to ear exam spending money. Her job was to organize activities for the kids who spent their summer days at the park. The kids absolutely loved Tami. She was constantly going out of her way to do things for them. She would plan picnics, organize field trips and even buy ice cream for all of them, using her own money. She always did more than the job required, even if it did mean using her own money.

She got to know one little boy who lived in an apartment across the street from the park. His parents both worked at fast – food restaurants, and she knew that they didn’t have much money. The boy talked about his upcoming birthday and the fire truck he wanted so badly. He said he was going to be a fireman some day and needed the truck to practice. He told Tami more details about the truck than she knew a boy truck could have.

The boy’s birthday came and went. The next day when Tami saw the boy, she expected to see a shiny red truck in his arms. When he arrived empty – handed, she asked whether he had got the truck. The boy said no. his parents were going to get it for him later, when things were better. He seemed a little sad.

That week, Tami eased her paycheck and headed for the toy stores. She found the truck easily – after all, from his descriptions, she felt she knew it inside out. She used the money from her paycheck to buy the truck, and then had it wrapped in birthday paper.

       A．Because he was poorer than she.

       B．Because he was her best friend.

       C．Because she wanted him to be a fireman.

       D．because she wanted him to feel love around him.

63．What can we learn from the underlined sentence?

       A．She knew how much money she would pay.

       B．She knew she should check the toy truck inside out.

       C．She was fully aware which toy truck the boy wanted.

       D．She walked inside and then out of the toy store several times.

In recent years many countries have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts believe that the answer is to make jobs more varied. Do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is something to suggest that while variety certainly makes the worker's life more enjoyable, it does not make him work harder. So variety is not important.

Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is very little that can be done to achieve this.

Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are said to be experimenting with having many small production lines rather than a large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem then that the degree of worker contribution is important.

To what extent does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important, but perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if companies succeed in making workers' jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.

72. Which of the following things will not increase productivity?

A. Making jobs more varied.                   

B. Longer working hours.

C. Giving workers the freedom to do his jobs in their own way.

D. Increasing the workers' contribution to production.               

73. The last sentence in this passage means that if companies manage to make workers' jobs more interesting, _________.

A. they will want more money                    

B. they will demand shorter working hours

C. more money and shorter working hours are important    

D. more money and shorter working hours will not be so important to them

74. In this passage, the writer tells us _________.

A. how to make the workers more productive 

B. possible factors leading to greater productivity

C. more money leads to greater productivity

D. how to make workers' jobs more interesting

75. The writer of this passage is probably a _____________.

   A. teacher             B. worker                   C. manager              D. physics
