Orphans (孤儿) whose parents died of AIDS in Henan Province have been given new hope. Last week the provincial government answered the children’s cries by promising 60 million yuan to improve schools, orphanages (孤儿院) and living conditions. But without the efforts of Dr. Gao Yaojie, these cries may never have been heard.
“I’m a doctor and it’s my duty to cure diseases and save live,” said the 77-year- old grandmother. Gao was named one of the 2003 People of Year on February 20 by CCTV after millions of people took part in an online poll. But in 1996, when she started to promote AIDS awareness, using money from her own pocket, her actions were widely misunderstood.
“Although some of the children were born with HIV, 90 percent of them were not infected (被感染),” Gao said. “But people still reject them. Many orphans change their names after finding a foster family (领养家庭).”
The horror of Henan’s AIDS problem became known in 1996. Frequent and unsafe bloodselling by poor farmers in the late 1980s and early1990s had caused HIV to spread through dirty needles and infected blood use. As a doctor, Gao believed she should help: over the last eight years she has visited over 1 000 AIDS and HIV patients and published thousands of pamphlets on AIDS awareness. With her help, hundreds of orphans have returned to school or found foster families.
“It’s a disaster for the whole nation, not only for those innocent (无辜的) patients and their families,” she explained. Gao is delighted that so many childless families offer to foster orphans. But there is still much that can be done to support these children. “I hope that warm-hearted high school students will also reach out and offer a helping hand,” she said.

解析

小题1: 解析本题考查理解文章主旨大意的能力。通篇介绍Gao Yaojie 怎样宣传提高人们对于艾滋病的认识，以及怎样帮助孤儿。
小题2:本题考查对文中细节进行认定的能力。根据文章第一段第二、三句 “Last week the provincial government answered the children’s cries by promising 60 million yuan to improve schools, orphanages (孤儿院) and living conditions. But without the efforts of Dr. Gao Yaojie, these cries may never have been heard.”可知答案。B、C、D三项所述均为事实，但不是她被评为“the 2003 People of Year”的直接原因。
小题3:本题考查理解文章细节信息的能力。文章一开始就点明“那些父母死于艾滋病的孤儿们有了新的希望。政府许诺6千万元用于改进学校、孤儿院及生活条件”。
小题4:本题考查迅速查找文章细节并进行判断的能力。由第一段“But without the efforts of Dr. Gao Yaojie, these cries may never have been heard.”可知 A项错误；由第三段第一句“Although some of the children were born with HIV, 90 percent of them were not infected (被感染).”,可知B项错误；由第二段“But in 1996, when she started to promote AIDS awareness, using money from her own pocket, her actions were widely misunderstood.” 可知C项错误。由第一段“With her help, hundreds of orphans have returned to school or found foster families.”可知 D项正确。
