Latest data shows an estimated 39.5 million people around the world are living with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. According to the report, this means every eight seconds somebody in the world is infected with HIV, resulting in 11,000 people becoming newly infected every day.
The director of UNAIDS, Peter Piot, says most of the new infections, nearly two-thirds, are in Sub-Saharan Africa. But, the biggest increases are in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, where infection rates have risen by more than 50 percent since 2004. He says 2.9 million people died from AIDS-related illnesses this year, the highest number ever.
UNAIDS senior epidemiologist(流行病学家), Karen Stanecki, says infections are rising in countries where HIV prevention programs have not adapted to the changing nature of the epidemics(流行病).  Stanecki noted,"In Thailand, one of our past success stories, a large percentage of new HIV infections are occurring in people considered to be low risk. One third of new infections are among married women."
It says data shows increased use of condoms has resulted in drops in HIV prevalence(流行) among young people between 2000 and 2005 in a number of African countries, including Botswana, Kenya and Zimbabwe. Nevertheless, the report notes young people between the ages of 15 and 24 account for 40 percent of new HIV infections. It finds the risk behavior, such as injecting drug use, homosexuals, is a factor of concern in many regions of the world, especially in Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America.

I have a close friend who has a good family tradition, that is, each year after Thanksgiving dinner, all of the people sit around in the living room and each person takes a few minutes and gives thanks for what really matters and what has added value to their life over the last year. This is something I valued and followed. I have thought about a lot in the last year, and I finally came up with two things.
The first one is the healthiness of my daughter. She’s as healthy as she can be, and her weight and height are in good condition and she has no illnesses or genetic diseases. I am so thankful for having this wonderful baby in my life, and thankful that she has the gift of good health.

A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away.That"s the finding of a scientific study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce(盎司)of salt water fish per day than those who never ate fish.
The Dutch research is one of three human studies that hold the belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart. Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year.But researchers previously have noticed that the incidence (发生率) of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do.There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.

       For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish.       At the start of the study, the average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day with more men eating thin fish than fatty fish.
During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease.The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos.This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels.
64.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.The Dutch research has proved that eating fish can help to prevent heart disease.

Rome-Doctors and medical groups around the world last weekend reacted with strong opposition to the news that an Italian specialist is on the point of cloning the first human baby.  
Dr.Severino Antinori, who is the head of a hospital in Rome, has been referred to in an Arab newspaper as claiming that one of his patients is eight weeks pregnant (***的)with a cloned baby.  
Antinori refused to comment on the reports, but in March 2001 he said he hoped to produce a cloned embryo (卵)for implantation within two years.So far seven different kinds of mammals have already successfully cloned, including sheep, cats and most recently rabbits.  
Doctors showed their doubt and were strongly opposed although they admit that human cloning would finally come true unless there was a world wide ban on the practice.  
Professor Rudolf Jaenisch of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said: “I find it astonishing that people do this where the result can be foretold that it will not be a normal baby.It is using humans as guinea pigs.It makes people feel sick.” But Ronald Green, director of the Ethics institute at Darmouth College in the US, said it is unlikely that an eight-week-old pregnancy would lead to a birth.  
So far all cloned animals have suffered from some different serious disorders, many of them dying soon after their births .  
Doctors are opposed to human cloning because they are worried about the welfare of the cloned child if there is one.  
“There are no benefits of cloned human beings, just harm,”said Dr.Michael Wilks of the UK.
45.What is the doctors’ general attitude to cloning of humans according to the passage?
A.They are against it.                    B.They support it.
C.They welcome it.                          D.They pay no attention to it.
46.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
   A.Doctor Severino Antinori is strongly opposed to cloning human beings.
   B.Up to now, seven kinds of animals have been cloned, including sheep, cats, humans and rabbits.
   C.Professor Rudolf Jaenisch is carrying on an experiment on cloning an eight-week-old embryo.
   D.Ronald Green doubts about the future successful birth of the so-called cloned embryo.
47.Which is the best title for the passage?
   A.The Success of Cloning Humans           B.The Anger at Cloning Humans
   C.Failure of Cloning Humans             D.First Cloned Human?

In formal paragraphs you will sometimes see a sentence at the end of the paragraph which summarizes the information that has been presented.This is the concluding sentence.The concluding sentence is similar to the topic sentence.They are both general sentences.The concluding sentence can be written in two ways:
1.State the topic sentence in different words.
2.Summarize the main points in the paragraph.
You can understand concluding sentences with this example.Consider a hamburger that you can buy at a fast—food restaurant.A hamburger has a top bun,meat,cheese,lettuce(生菜),and other elements in the middle of the hamburger,and a bottom bun.Note how the top bun and the bottom bun are very similar.The top bun,in a way,is like a topic sentence,and the bottom bun is like the concluding sentence.Both buns “hold” the meat,onions,and so on.Similarly,the topic sentence and concluding sentence “hold” the supporting sentences in the paragraph.Let’s see how a concluding sentence might look in our sample paragraph about Wheaton:
My hometown is famous for several amazing natural features.First,it is noted for the Wheaton River,which is very wide and beautiful.Also,on the other side of the town is Wheaton Hill,which is unusual because it is very steep.The third amazing feature is the Big Old Tree.This tree stands two hundred feet tall and is probably about six hundred years old.These three landmarks are truly amazing and make my hometown a famous place.
Notice how the concluding sentence,“these three landmarks are truly amazing and make my hometown a famous place”,summarizes the information in the paragraph.Notice also how the concluding sentence is similar to,but not exactly the same as,the topic sentence.
Usually,we begin a concluding sentence with “in conclusion’’ or “in summary”.Remember,not all paragraphs contain concluding sentences,especially if the paragraph is very short.However,if your paragraph is very long,it is a good idea to use a concluding sentence.
65.What does the author mainly intend to tell us in this passage?
A.How to write a concluding sentence.
B.What the top bun and the bottom bun are like.
C.Why his hometown is a famous place.
D.To use a concluding sentence in our writing.
66.Why does the author write about a hamburger?
A.Because he can buy a hamburger at a fast—food restaurant.
B.Because a hamburger has a top bun and a bottom bun.
C.Because the top bun and the bottom bun are very similar.
D.Because he wants to explain his main idea in another way.
67.The underlined word “noted” probably means“        ”
A.written down          B.famous                   C.noticed                   D.recorded
68.Which of the following statements is TRUE about the passage?
A.A sentence at the end of a paragraph is the concluding sentence.
B.All paragraphs contain concluding sentence.
C.It is a good idea to use a concluding sentence in a long paragraph.
D.The concluding sentence is the same as the to pic sentence.
69.The underlined phrase “These three landmarks” here refers to       .
A.the Wheaton River,Wheaton Hill and my hometown
B.natural features,the Wheaton River and the Wheaton Hill
C.the Wheaton River,Wheaton Hill and the Big Old Tree
D.my hometown,Wheaton Hill and the Big Old Tree
