Passage 1
The AIDS virus has been around for a very long time, but the spread of the disease within the last twenty years or so on such a scale has caused real concern. It seems that in the 1980s the principal carriers of the disease were homosexuals, drug users and prostitutes. Now it is
becoming evident that heterosexuals also spread the disease, that children can be born with the virus and that patients in hospitals are being infected too. Just as the WHO fought the spread of children's disease throughout the world in the 1960s, so now they must again use education to fight this killer disease. The organization proposes to write newspaper articles and books, and to make videos and TV programmes. These will be translated into the major languages of the world
so that as many people as possible can be educated about the danger of AIDS. However, we are still faced with two big questions. Is educating the public enough if we are to control the spread of AIDS? Does the WHO have enough money and resources for hospitals throughout the world to help and care for sufferers? One fact is becoming clearer and that is that the WHO has not focused enough on the need to educate medical staff. There are still hospitals and health centers in some parts of the world which do not accept AIDS patients, while there are others where too little care is taken to prevent the spread of the disease. (248) 11．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A．AIDS is a disease for which a cure has been found. B．AIDS is a disease which has just been found. C．AIDS is a disease which has existed for a long time. D．AIDS is a disease which spreads very slowly. 12. Who are easily infected with AIDS? A. People who use drugs. B. People who visit prostitutes. C. Patients who stay in hospital. D. All of the above.
13. In WHO's opinion, what will help most effectively in fighting against the spread of AIDS? A. More education. B. More medicines. C. More doctors. D. More equipment.
14. From the passage, we can see that the writer is not happy about_____________. A. the education the general public get on AIDS B. the education the medical staff get on AIDS C. the TV programmes on AIDS D. the newspaper articles on AIDS

B. There are some hospitals in some parts of the world which do not accept AIDS patients. C. Great care has been taken to prevent the spread of AIDS everywhere in the world now. D. More money and resources are needed to control the spread of AIDS. Passage 2
No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone,
teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it. All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation” of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting (背诵) it.
I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isn’t time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “ a criticism of life”, and “ a heightening (提升) of life”. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.
I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don’t like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it. (298) 16. To have a better understanding of a poem, one should ______________ A. discuss it with others. B. analyze it by oneself. C. copy it down in a notebook D. practise reading it aloud
17. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry? A. Extending your life. B. Saving your life.
