Ⅲ.閱讀理解（每小題2分，滿分40分）

(A)

A picture, a calendar or even a balloon may be the best way for millions of people living in Chinas vast country areas to learn about AIDS, one of the biggest threats to public health in the world today.

China has decided to use user-friendly methods including exhibitions, VCDs and TV programmes to spread knowledge of the disease across the nation in order to try to control it. Educating people nationwide about AIDS is the top priority(優(yōu)先權(quán)) to prevent the disease from getting out of hand. The farmers will be given knowledge in the easiest ways that they can understand.

A recent survey from the commission(調(diào)查團(tuán)) of more than 7,000 people in China showed that nearly 20 percent of them had never heard of AIDS before. Just over 71 percent said they knew AIDS was highly infectious (傳染的), but most of them had no clear idea of how the di-sease could be spread. Just over 62 percent said they knew they could do things in advance to prevent themselves from catching AIDS but they didnt know what these measures were.

The month-long survey, carried out last December, talked to people in seven counties and cities across China including both developed coastal areas and the less-developed inland areas. The interviewees were from 15 to 49 years old, and country residents were about 63% of the total surveyed.

Chinese residents, especially those in the country, have very little knowledge about what AIDS is, not about prevention and treatment. By the end of last year, there were 22,517 known HIV/AIDS cases in China. However, more than 6,000,000 people in China have been infected.

Since 1985, China has discovered 880 patients with AIDS—466 of them have died. Sharing needles, complicated sex relations and contaminated(污染的) blood transfusions are major ways for HIV to spread. A lack of education has been the biggest difficulty against nationwideefforts to prevent AIDS, especially in the countryside.

1. After reading the passage, we know that ____.

A. most people in the country dont know what AIDS is

B. AIDS is not serious in the Chinese mainland

C. China has taken enough measures to control AIDS

D. TV programmes are the only useful way in spreading knowledge of AIDS in the countryside

2. The authors purpose in writing the passage is to ____.

A. show his concern about the health of people

B. make people know about AIDS

C. call on people to fight against AIDS

D. tell us people are short of the knowledge of AIDS

3. The greatest difficulty against the nationwide efforts to prevent AIDS lies in ____.

A. misunderstanding of people B. the shortage of money

C. its infection D. lack of education

4. “Since 1985, China has discovered 880 patients with AIDS—466 of them have died”. Do you know why? ____.

A. Because their families refused to cure them

B. Because they had been in low spirits for a long time

C. Because there werent enough effective measures to treat AIDS

D. Because they couldnt lead a normal life like other healthy people

(B)

Folk medicine maintains(保持) the health of the body by using medicines taken from surrounding plants and herbs. Since materials for making a medicine to cure a sickness can be found everywhere, one can practice folk medicine in any place of the world.

The use of folk medicine goes all the way back to the time of the earliest man when both man and animals used plants and herbs to keep healthy. It is usually seen that an animal eat snakeroot after being bitten by a poisonous snake. Because animals seem to have their natural ability for knowing which plants and herbs will cure what sickness, man probably learned how to cure for himself by animal watching.

Man also learned other things from animals. He observed that wild animals, when sick, kept quiet and rest, getting well with the help of the medicine in plants and pure air. He saw that an animal with a fever could often be found resting in a cool place, eating nothing, and often drinking water until the fever was gone.

Some believe that folk medicine deals with a lot of old wives tales which have something to do with the medicine treatment of the body. Stories are told about the powers of certain vegetable material, which when hung around the neck, brings the wearer good health during the cold winter months. Such a story is simply a fairy tale. It should be separated from the discussion of folk medicine.

1. Sick animals were often seen ____.

A. being quiet and making little movement

B. lying on the ground making strange noises

C. resting in a secret place to avoid enemies

D. drinking more water than other animals

2. The phrase “old wives tales” refers to ____.

A. old ladies special use of folk medicine

B. old medical treatment of the body

C. those unscientific stories and tales

D. stories about certain plants

3. Which of the following statements is true about folk medicine? ____.

A. It is better than other medicines in curing serious diseases

B. It can treat most kinds of diseases for both man and animals

C. It keeps one healthy by using medicines taken from plants and herbs

D. It was a way of body treatment used only in mans early history

Want a glance of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the networks of people about patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient—no matter where he or she may be.

Online doctors offering advice based on normal symptoms(癥狀) are the most obvious examples. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis(遠(yuǎn)程診斷) will be based on real physiological data(生理數(shù)據(jù)) from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using personal data assistance plus a mobile phone; it is perfectly practical to send a patients important signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment, the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could be a thing of the past.

Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster need—especially after earthquakes. On the whole, the trend is to towards providing global access to medical data and experts opinions.

But there is one problem. Bandwidth(寬帶) is the limiting factor for sending complex medical pictures around the world—CT photos being one of the biggest bandwidth users. Communication satellites may be able to deal with the short-term needs during disasters, such as earthquakes or wars. But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and the third-generation mobile phones for the future of remote medical service.

Doctors have met to discuss computer tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications, the new technologies should start a new time when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, experts opinions and diagnosis are common.

1. The writer chiefly talks about ____.

A. the use of telemedicine B. the online doctors

C. medical care and treatment D. communication improvement

2. The basis of remote diagnosis will be ____.

A. personal data assistance

B. some words of a patient

D. medical pictures from the Internet

3. Which of the following statements is true according to the text? ____.

A. Patients dont need doctors in hospitals any more

B. It is impossible to send a patients signs over the telephone

C. Many teams use telemedicine dealing with disasters now

D. Broadband communications will become cheaper in the future

4. The “problem” in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that ____.

A. bandwidth isnt big enough to send complex medical pictures

B. the second-generation of Internet has not become popular yet

C. communication satellites can only deal with short-term needs

D. there is not enough equipment for spreading the medicine care

Motherhood may make women smarter and may help prevent dementia(癡呆) in old age by bathing the brain in protective hormones(荷爾蒙), U.S. researchers reported on Thursday.

Tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no babies, and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as Alzheimers(老年癡呆癥). University of Richmond psychology professor Craig Kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.

“Our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy(懷孕) are protecting the brain including estrogen(雌激素), which we know has many neuron-protective(保護(hù)神經(jīng)的) effects,” Kinsley said.

“Its rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals,” he added in a telephone interview. “They go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.”

Kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from Alzheimers and other forms of age-related brain decline.

“When people think about pregnancy, they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down,” said Kinsley, who presented his findings to the annual meetings of the Society of Neuron-science in Orlando, Florida.

“They do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain. If you look at female animals who have never gone through pregnancy, they act differently toward young. But if she goes through pregnancy, she will sacrifice her life for her infant—that is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic alterations(改變) to the brain.”

1. How do scientists know “Motherhood may make woman smarter”? ____.

A. Some researchers have told them

B. Many women say so

C. They know it by experimenting on rats

D. They know it through their own experiences

2. What does the phrase “l(fā)itters of pups” mean in the second

paragraph? ____.

A. Baby rats B. Animals

C. Old rats D. Grown-up rats

3. What can protect the brain of a woman according to the passage?

____.

A. Estrogen B. The hormones of pregnancy

C. More exercises D. Taking care of children

4. “Its rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals”. What does the sentence suggest? ____.

A. The experiments on the rats have nothing to do with humans

B. The experiments on the rats are very important for animals

C. The experiments on the rats are much the same as on humans

D. The experiments on the rats are much the same as on other

animals

5. Which title is the best for this passage? ____

A. Do You Want to Be Smarter?

B. Motherhood Makes Women Smarter.

B. Mysterious Hormones.

D. An Important Study.
