A recent government report says AIDS is the leading cause of death among Americans between the
5、 ages of 25 and 44. The report says deaths caused by AIDS in this age group have increased every year since the disease was first recognized in 1981. Last year more than 80 thousand new AIDS cases were reported in the United States. Studies show that in 1993 most of the new cases were among minority
6、 populations, especially African-Americans and Hispanics. A new study says the number of women in the United States with AIDS has increased sharply.

In the past few years, public programs have taught children and adults the facts about AIDS. Teenagers and adults have b
11、een taught how to protect against AIDS. One method is to use rubber devices called condoms during sexual relations. More than 440 thousand people in the United States have gotten AIDS since the disease was first recognized. More than 250 thousand of them have died. Facts about AIDS are collected by
12、the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia. Harold Jaffe is an official there. Dr. Jaffe says the effect of AIDS on American society is greater than the numbers of death.

13、actions in America. Many people are frightened by the threat of AIDS. Some have changed their sexual activity to reduce their chances of getting the disease. Some hate and fear people with AIDS. Others have great sympathy for people living with the disease. AIDS activists have tried to reduce the pu

They have organized many events to gain money for AIDS education, research ad treatment. And they have used the arts to help educate th

Many have won awards. Last year, for example, the first major motion picture that dealt with AIDS was rele

The most famous is called ANGELS IN AMERICA. It is about AIDS, sexual religion and politics during the 1980s. Many a
18、rt museums across America take part in a yearly event called DAY WITHOUT ART. It is a way of remembering the people who have died from AIDS. Some museums close on that day. Some remove paintings from the walls and cover statues. Activists have worked to increase sympathy for people with AIDS. Severa
19、l years ago, activists created a huge cloth covering called the AIDS Memorial Quilt. It is made of thousands of pieces of material joined together. People made each piece to honor a friend or family member who died of AIDS. The quilt has been shown in many American cities. American advertising has b

23、ple who have it. They also have been urging the federal government to increase efforts to find a cure for AIDS. Scientists first identified the virus that is believed to cause AIDS in 1983. Many of them then thought they could produce an anti-AIDS vaccine. Such a medicine could be given to people to

Last December I bought myself a Video cassette recorder (36) 1as “simple to use“. In the first thre
41、e weeks I failed (37) 2to program the machine to record from the TV, and after months of practice I still made mistakes. I am not alone. According to a (38) 3last year by Ferguson, the British manufacturer, more than one in four VCR owners never use the timer on their machines to record a programmer
42、: they dont use it because theyve found it far too hard to operate. So why do manufacturers keep on designing and producing VCRs that are (39) 4 to use if the problems are so obvious? First, the problems we notice are not obvious to (40) 5 minded designers with years of experience and trained to und
43、erstand how (41) 6work. Secondly, designers tend to add one or two features at a time to each model, (42) 7 you or I face all a machines features at once. Thirdly, although finding problems in a finished product is easy, it is too late by then to do anything about the design. Finally, if manufacture
44、rs can get away with selling products that are difficult to use, it is not worth the (43) 8of any one of them to make improvements. (44) 9. But that gives rise to the question, “why cant you have features that are easy to use?“ The answer is you can. (45) 10. For a start, designers should build an o
45、riginal model of the machine and try it out on typical members of the public not on colleagues in the development laboratory. (46) 11. In an ideal world, there would be some ways of controlling quality such as that the VCR must be redesigned repeatedly until, say, 90 percent of users can work 90 per
46、cent of the features correctly 90 percent of the time. （分数：10.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_七、Reading Comprehensio(总题数：2，分数：177.00)Young men and women today are finding it more and more necessary to protest against what is known as the “Establishment
47、“: that is, the people who wield (掌握)power in our society. Clashes with the authorities are reported almost daily in the press. The tension that exists between old and young could certainly be lessened if some of the most obvious causes were re moved. In particular, the Establishment should adopt di
48、fferent attitudes to work and the re wards it brings. Todays young people are ambitious. Many are equipped with a good education and are understandably impatient to succeed as quickly as possible. They want to be able to have their share of the good things in life while they are still young enough to enjoy them. The Establishment, however, has traditionally believed that people should be rewarded according to their age and experience. Ability counts for less. As the Establish
