In the midst of a severe nationwide downt

13、urn, the Louisiana economy is holding up better than most. Its a role reversal from a few years ago, when Louisiana was one of the countrys weaker states financially following the destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina. The state has the 10th lowest unemployment rate and was the only state to add n

14、onfarm jobs in February, the most recent month for which data are available. Sales tax collections in New Orleans have risen close to levels seen before Katrina. And foreclosure rates have remained low by national standards, in part because the state never experienced a housing bubble. Whats unclear

15、 is how long the state can keep the downturns worst demons at bay. March state-by-state employment data, which the Labor Department releases Friday, will offer fresh insights. The major reconstruction effort that continues more than three and a half years after Katrina partly explains why Louisiana

16、state has been fairly insulated from the worst of the recession. 7 How many states have a lower unemployment rate than Louisiana? （ A） 9 （ B） 10 （ C） 11 （ D） 49 8 Why are there fewer foreclosures in Louisiana than in other states according to the article? （ A） There are less people living in Louisia

Theres another five million who need t

19、hem but dont get them. The WHO recommendations on when to start treatment for HIV would mean an extra three to five million people would be added to that waiting list. The WHO wants people who have HIV to start drugs before their immune systems get so weak that they start displaying symptoms. A stud

20、y recently published in the medical journal The Lancet showed starting treatment at the newly recommended level could increase survival by nearly 70% . It would also add significantly to the cost on health care systems. In South Africa, which has one of the biggest HIV burdens in the world, currentl

21、y fewer than half of the people who should be receiving HIV drugs get them. Poor health infrastructure is a common problem for nearly all developing countries. Putting HIV-positive people on drugs earlier would significantly reduce the cost to health systems of treating opportunistic infections- ill

22、nesses which take hold while the immune system is weak. It would also greatly improve life expectancy of HIV patients, with repercussions for families and the workforce. The WHO is still working out how much it would cost countries to improve their treatment regimes, but it wont be cheap. 10 What is

23、 the main idea of this passage? （ A） It would add much more cost for the WHO to treat with people who have HIV. （ B） Those people with HIV is a common problem for all developing countries. （ C） Starting treatment early could increase survival opportunities for people with HIV. （ D） The WHO has raise

24、d new proposals to fight against AIDS. 11 Why the WHO advices people who have HIV to use drugs before their immune systems get so weak? （ A） Because it has been newly-proved that starting treatment at that time could increase survival by about 70%. （ B） Because the WHO has the ability of adding an e

25、xtra three to five million people to the waiting list. （ C） Because it would add significantly to the cost on health care systems. （ D） Because those who have HIV have become the biggest HIV burdens for the whole world. 12 What conclusion can be drawn from the passage? （ A） It would cost the WHO muc

26、h more to make HIV-positive people start drugs earlier than treating opportunistic infections. （ B） It would finally increase the workforce in the world if HIV-positive people have drugs earlier. （ C） The WHO is confident of affording the cost to have people with HIV start drugs at earlier time. （ D

27、） Half of HIV-positive people in the world are residing in South Africa. 12 The worlds demand on gas is expected to increase in the future as climate change concerns grow, while renewable energy is still expensive to be developed, a prominent economist said on Friday. “Demand on gas will be the fast

28、est among other energy sources as its cheaper than oil and people are more concerned about climate change issue,“ Cristof Ruhl, even Chief Economist of British Petroleum, a multinational oil and gas Company told the press. According to Ruhl, even though renewable energy is much more environmental fr

29、iendly, it costs too much to be developed. “In Brazil, its worth to use the bio-energy as the country is rich with bio-resources but it costs too much if its implemented in other countries,“ said Ruhl. However, he said, as technology becomes more advanced, it is not impossible that the renewable tec

30、hnology would be much cheaper. Currently, Ruhl said, the usage of solar, wind and geothermal energies only contribute 1.5 percent of the global energy consumption. “Renewable energy takes only small share of total energy consumption and for the most part, still requires government support. But from

31、the small base, it continues to grow fast, with global deployment reflecting government support as well as natural endowment.“ said Ruhl. According to Ruhl,in contrast to all other fuels, growth in renewable energy was led by the OECD countries, where policy support is the strongest. “But like other

32、 fuels, 2008 saw rapid growth in the first half followed by a marked deceleration towards the end of the year and into 2009,“ he said. 13 Which of the following sentences can be the best title of this passage? （ A） How long shall we wait to use the renewable energy? （ B） Renewable energy is getting

33、cheaper as technology becomes more advanced. （ C） Climate change concerns results in revolution on the use of energy. （ D） Gas demand is to sharply increase as climate change concerns grow. 14 The word “implemented“ in Paragraph Line is closest in meaning to （ A） transported （ B） studied （ C） carrie

34、d out （ D） imposed 15 What is Cristof Ruhls basic attitude towards the renewable energy? （ A） Pessimistic and critical （ B） Supportive but with some reservation （ C） Optimistic and confident （ D） Indifferent 16 Which of the following statements can be inferred from Cristof Ruhls words? （ A） Renewabl

35、e energy will continue to grow fast only without government support. （ B） It is almost impossible that the renewable technology becomes much cheaper. （ C） Gas demand will definitely keep increasing all along in the future. （ D） The usage of solar, wind and geothermal energy is closely related to a c
