填空题
[A] What route does HIV take after it enters the body to
destroy the immune system? [B] How and when did the
long-standing belief concerning AIDS and HIV crop up? [C] What
is the most effective anti-HIV therapy? [D] How does HIV subvert
the immune system? [E] In the absence of a vaccine, how can HIV
be stopped? [F] Why does AIDS predispose infected persons to
certain types of cancer and infections? In the 20 years since
the first cases of AIDS were detected, scientists say they have learned more
about this viral disease than any other. Yet Peter Piot, who
directs the United Nations AIDS program, and Stefano Vella of Rome, president of
the International AIDS Society, and other experts say reviewing unanswered
questions could prove useful as a measure of progress for AIDS and other
diseases. Among the important broader scientific questions that
remain: 41. __________. A long-standing
belief is that cancer cells constantly develop and are held in check by a
healthy immune system. But AIDS has challenged that belief. People with AIDS are
much more prone to certain cancers like non-Hodgkins lymphomas and Kaposi's
sarcoms, but not to breast, colon and lung, the most common cancers in the
United States. This pattern suggests that an impaired immune system, at least
the type that occurs in AIDS, does not allow common cancers to
develop. 42. __________. When HIV is
transmitted sexually, the virus must cross a tissue barrier to enter the body.
How that happens is still unclear. The virus might invade directly or be carried
by a series of different kinds of cells. Eventually HIV travels
through lymph vessels to lymph nodes and the rest of the lymph system. But what
is not known is how the virus proceeds to destroy the body's CD-4 cells that are
needed to combat invading infectious agents. 43.
__________. Although HIV kills the immune cells sent to
kill the virus, there is widespread variation in the rate at which HIV infected
people become ill with AIDS. So scientists ask. Can the elements of the immune
system responsible for that variability be identified? If so, can they be used
to stop progression to AIDS in infected individuals and possibly prevent
infection in the first place? 44. __________.
In theory, early treatment should offer the best chance of preserving
immune function. But the new drugs do not completely eliminate HIV from the body
so the medicines, which can have dangerous side effects, will have to be taken
for a lifetime and perhaps changed to combat resistance. The new policy is
expected to recommend that treatment be deferred until there are signs the
immune system is weakening. Is a vaccine possible?
There is little question that an effective vaccine is crucial to
controlling the epidemic. Yet only one has reached the stage of full testing,
and there is wide controversy over the degree of protection it will provide. HIV
strains that are transmitted in various areas of the world differ genetically.
It is not known whether a vaccine derived from one type of HIV will confer
protection against other types. 45. __________.
Without more incisive, focused behavioral research, prevention messages
alone will not put an end to the global epidemic.

填空题Human language is ______. This refers to the fact that there is no logical or intrinsic connection between a particular sound and the meaning it is associated with.

A book that a person of 【K2】______and good taste does not care to read more than once is very probably not worth much. Some time ago there was a discussion going on【K3】______the art of the great French【K4】______, Zola; some people claimed that he possessed absolute genius; others claimed that he had only talent of a very 【K5】______kind. The battle of the【K6】______brought out some strange extravagances of opinions. But suddenly a very great critic simply put this question: " How many of you have read, or would care to read, one of Zola"s books a second time?" There was no answer; probably no one would read a book by Zola more than once. The fact was settled. Shallow or false any book must be, that, although bought by a hundred thousand readers, is never read more than once. But we cannot consider the judgment of a single individual【K7】______The opinion that makes a book great must be the opinion of many. For even the greatest critics are apt to have certain dullness, certain inappreciations. Carlyle, for example, could not endure Browning; Byron could not endure some of the greatest of English poets. A man must be many-sided to utter a trustworthy estimate of many books. We may doubt the【K8】______of the single critic at times. But there is no doubt possible in regard to the judgment of generations. Even if we cannot at once perceive anything good in a book which has been admired and praised for hundreds of years, we may be sure that by trying, by studying it【K9】______, we shall at last be able to feel the reason of this【K10】______and praise. The best of all libraries for a poor man would be a library【K11】______composed of such great works only. This then would be the most important guide for us in the choice of reading. We should read only the books that we want to read more than once, nor should we buy any others, unless we have some special reason for so investing money. The second fact demanding attention is the general character of the value that lies hidden within all such great books: they never become old; their youth is 【K12】______A great book is not apt to be comprehended by a young person at the first【K13】______except in a superficial way. Only the surface, the narrative, is absorbed and enjoyed. No young man can possibly see at first reading the qualities of a great book. Remember that it has taken humanity in many cases hundreds of years to find out all that there is in such a book. But according to a man"s experience of life, the text will【K14】______new meanings to him.

At forty we shall re-read it, wondering why we never saw how【K15】______it was before. At fifty or sixty years of age the same facts will repeat themselves. A great book grows exactly in proportion to the growth of the reader"s mind. It was the【K16】______of this extraordinary fact by generations of people long dead that made the【K17】______of such works as those of Shakespeare, of Dante, or of Goethe.

Do mobile phones cause explosions at petrol stations? That
question has just been exhaustively answered by Adam Burgess, a researcher at
the University of Kent, in England. Oddly, however, Dr Burgess is not a
physicist, but a sociologist. For the concern rests not on scientific evidence
of any danger, but is instead the result of sociological factors: it is an urban
myth, supported and propagated by official sources, but no less a myth for that.
Dr Burgess presented his findings this week at the annual conference of the
British Sociological Association. Mobile phones started to
become widespread in the late 1980s, when the oil industry was in the middle of
a concerted safety drive, Dr Burgess notes. This was, in large part, a response
to the Piper Alpha disaster in 1988, when 167 people died in an explosion on an
oil platform off the Scottish coast. 41.______So nobody questioned the
precautionary ban on the use of mobile phones at petrol stations. The worry was
that an electrical spark might ignite explosive fumes.
42.______But it was too late. The myth had taken hold.
One problem, says Dr Burgess, is that the number of petrol-station fires
increased in the late 1990s, just as mobile phones were proliferating. Richard
Coates, BP's fire-safety adviser, investigated many of the 243 such fires that
occurred around the world between 1993 and 2004. He concluded that most were
indeed caused by sparks igniting petrol vapour, but the sparks themselves were
the result of static electricity, not electrical equipment. Most drivers will
have experienced a mild electric shock when climbing out of their vehicles. It
is caused by friction between driver and seat, with the result that both end up
electrically charged. When the driver touches the metal frame of the vehicle,
the result is sometimes a spark. 43.______ 44.
______ One e-mail contained fictitious examples of such explosions said to have
happened in Indonesia and Australia. Another, supposedly sent out by Shell,
found its way on to an internal website at Exxon, says Dr Burgess, where it was
treated as authoritative by employees. Such memos generally explain static fires
quite accurately, but mistakenly attribute them to mobile phones. Official
denials, says Dr Burgess, simply inflame the suspicions of conspiracy
theorists. 45. ______ Warning signs. abound in Britain,
America, Canada and Australia. The city of Sao Paulo, in Brazil, iatroduced a
ban last year, And, earner tins month, a member of Connecticut's. senate
proposed making the use of mobile phones in petrol stations in that state
punishable by a $ 250 fine. [A] The safety drive did not
apply merely to offshore operations: employees at some British oil-company
offices are now required to use handrails while walking up and downstairs, for
example. [B] As a result, the company had to pay a huge
amount of compensation to the families of the victims and law suits concerning
those fires seemed to be endless. [C] A further
complication was the rise of the internet, where hoax memos, many claiming to
originate from oil companies, warned of the danger of using mobile phones in
petrol stations. [D] This is particularly noticeable in
Britain. The country that led the way in banning mobile phones at petrol
stations is also the country that has taken the strongest line on the safety of
mobile-phone use by children. [E] Despite the lack of
evidence that mobile phones can cause explosions, bans remain in place around
the world, though the rules vary widely. [F] By the late
1990s, however, phone makers--having conducted their own research— realized that
there was no danger of phones causing explosions since they could not generate
the required sparks. [G] This seems to have become more
common as plastic car interiors, synthetic garments and rubber-soled shoes
have proliferated.
