        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.
        The report notes the emergence (出现) of injecting drug use as a factor of HIV in Kenya, Tanzania,
Nigeria and South Africa is a recent development in Sub-Saharan Africa. 1. According to the news report, how many people are newly infected with HIV a year?A. 39.5 million.

B. Two fifths of the new infections are among young people aged 15 to 24.
C. The risk behavior, such as injecting drug use and homosexuals, exists in many parts of the world.

阅读理解。Travel is good for you
     Americans think that travel is good for you. Some even think it can help solve one of the country’s
worst problems - crime (犯罪).
     Crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the number of crimes goes up and up. And many criminals (罪犯) are young. Most of them - 85 percent are boys. They often come from sad homes, with only one
parent or no parents at all. There are problems with alcohol and drugs.  
     There are many young criminals in prison. But prison doesn’t change them - 60 to 70 percent will go
back to crime when they come out of prison.  
     One man, Bob Burton, thought of a new idea. In the old days, young men had to live a difficult life on
the road. They learned to be strong and brave, and to help their friends in time of danger. This helped them to grow into men. So Bob Burton started "Vision Quest".  
     He takes young criminals on a long, long journey with horses and wagons 3,000 miles through seven
states. They are on the road for more than a year.  The young people on Vision Quest (boys and a few
girls) all have bad problems. Most of them have already spent time in prison. This is their last chance.  
     It’s hard work on the road. The day starts before the sun comes up. The boys and girls have to feed
the horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before. But they can love their horses. That love can
help them to have a new life.  
     Not all young people on Vision Quest will leave crime behind them. 30 or 40 percent will one day be in prison again. But that’s a lot better then 60 or 70 percent. Bob Burton is right. Travel can be good for youEven today, Americans still say, "Go west, young men".

阅读理解     __1__ The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which are closely
associated to the big problem of global warming.
     Strategy 1: Bring your own cup to Starbucks
     You"ll get a 10 cent discount, and it"s one less paper cup to end up in a landfill. While you"re there, pick
up some free bags of spent coffee grounds to use as "green" fertilizer in your garden.    
     The payoff:  2   
     Strategy 2: Turn off your computer
     When in standby mode, your PC is still using energy.    3

them. Better yet, next time you shop, try a reusable bag.

mile.

Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At

the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings.  2  . If you
happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could
see clearly. 
  3  . A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one;
and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.  4  . A black bridge over the
Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自***) than any other bridge in
the area - until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply.
Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
  5  . It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents

阅读理解。      Modern man has cleared the forests for farmland and for wood, and has also carelessly burned them. More than that, though, he has also interfered (干涉) with the invisible bonds between the living things in
}the forests. There are many examples of this kind of destruction. The harmfulness of man"s interference
can be seen in what happened many years ago in the forest of the Kaibab plateau (凯亚巴布高原) of
northern Arizona. Man tried to improve on the natural web of forest life and destroyed it instead.
      The Kaibab had a storybook forest of large sized pine, Douglas fir, white fir, blue and Engelmann
spruce
. In 1882 a visitor noted, "We, who ... have wandered through its forests and parks, have come
to regard it as the most enchanting region it has ever been our privilege (特权) to visit."This was also the
living place of the Rocky Mountain mule deer. Indians hunted there every autumn to gather meat and skins. The forest also had mountain lions, timber wolves and bobcats that kept the deer from multiplying too
rapidly.
    Then, in 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt made the Kaibab a national game preserve. Deer hunting was forbidden. Government hunters started killing off the deer"s enemies. In 25years" time, 6,250 mountain lions, wolves and bobcats were killed. Before the program, there were about 4,000 deer in the Kaibab, by 1924, there were about 100,000.
     The deer ate every leaf and twig they could reach. But there was not nearly enough food. Hunting of
deer was permitted again. This caused a slight decrease in the deer herd (鹿群),but a far greater loss
resulted from starvation (饥饿) and disease. Some 60 percent of the deer herd died in two winters. By
1930 the herd had dropped to 20,000 animals. By 1942 it was down to 8,000.1. The destruction of the environment of the Kaibab resulted from           .A. turning the forest into cultivated land
B. interfering with natural cycle of forest life
C. forest fires caused by man"s carelessness
D. cutting the trees for building materials2."Engelmann spruce"(Para. 2) is most likely the name of        .A.a tree    
B.an animal    
C.a mountain    
D.a game3. The number of the deer in the Kaibab had increased enormously in       years" time.A.25      
B.6          
C.18          
D.124. Years later, large numbers of deer in the Kaibab died mainly because of          .A.the cold            
B.the organized kill
C.the shortage of food  
D.the poor management
