【题目】Directions：Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Cure isn’t a word normally used in the 【1】 of AIDS. For most of the 35 years since HIV, the virus responsible for the disease, was first identified, doctors have viewed the notion of a cure as more 【2】 than fact.

That’s because HIV is a virus unlike any other. It disables the very immune cells that are 【3】 to destroy it, carrying out the ultimate deadly ambush（埋伏）whenever the guard of immune 【4】 comes down, months or sometimes even years later.

Yet for the first time in the HIV epidemic that 【5】 affects nearly 37 million people worldwide, some experts are starting to aim for a cure cautiously. The National Institutes of Health（NIH）is funding HIV cure efforts and advocacy groups like amfAR are also 【6】 resources into not just treating HIV, but also finding ways to eliminate it completely.

“Absolutely HIV can be cured,”says Rowena Johnston, vice president and director of research for amfAR.“The question is how.”

Doctors today have no trouble keeping HIV under control in people who are infected, thanks to antiretroviral（ARV）drugs, which stop the virus from replicating（复制）. If it is not making more copies of itself. HIV cannot spread to infect new cells. That can 【7】 into healthier, longer lives for people who are HIV-positive.

Powerful as the current drug treatments are, they can’t actually 【8】 the body of infected cells. For self-preservation, some HIV lies latent（潜伏性的）inside certain immune cells. These are the viruses that come coaring back when people stop taking their medications.

But the latest report this month revealed the strongest evidence that these latent viruses can be activated and eliminated, at least in animals. Dr. Dan Barouch and his colleagues showed that a drug that stimulates the immune system, 【9】 with a powerful antibody, prevented HIV from roaring back in five of 11 animals, six months after they stopped taking ARVs.“I think our data raises the 【10】 that an intervention achieving a functional cure is possible,”says Barouch.

本文是一篇说明文。主要内容是艾滋病被认为是无法治愈的，但由于全世界感染病毒人数之多，引起了一些组织和机构的注意并开始寻找消灭艾滋病的方法。

【1】考查名词。句意：“治愈”这个词在艾滋病的语境中并不常用。分析句子结构可知，空处填名词，再根据句意可知，context是名词，意为“文本、语境”，与题意相符，故选H。

【2】考查形容词。句意：自从艾滋病病毒首次被发现以来的35年里，医生们认为治愈艾滋病的想法更多的是幻想而不是事实。分析句子结构可知，空处填形容词，根据句意可知，more…than…意为“不是……而是”，fantasy在此处做形容词，意为“虚幻的”，故选G。

【3】考查固定搭配。句意：它会破坏原本要摧毁它的免疫细胞，在几个月甚至几年之后，当免疫防御系统崩溃时，它就会进行终极的致命伏击。分析句子结构可知，空处填动词，根据句意可知，be supposed to是固定搭配，意为“本该、应该”，与题意相符，故选C。

【4】考查名词。句意：它会破坏原本要摧毁它的免疫细胞，在几个月甚至几年之后，当免疫防御系统崩溃时，它就会进行终极的致命伏击。分析句子结构可知，空处填名词，根据句意可知，immune defense意为“免疫防御”，与题意相符，故选J。

【5】考查副词。句意：然而，在目前影响全球近3700万人的艾滋病流行中，一些专家首次开始谨慎地寻找治疗方法。分析句子结构可知，空处填副词，currently是副词，意为“目前”，与题意相符，故选K。

【6】考查动词。句意：美国国立卫生研究院(NIH)正在资助艾滋病病毒的治疗工作，像amfAR这样的倡导组织也在投入大量资源，不仅用于治疗艾滋病，而且还在寻找彻底消灭艾滋病的方法。分析句子结构可知，空处填动词，且此处用现在进行时，再根据句意可知，pour是动词，在此处意为“倾注、投入”，与题意相符，故选I。

【7】考查动词。句意：艾滋病毒不能传播感染新细胞。这可以转化为艾滋病毒阳性患者更健康、更长寿的生活。分析句子结构可知，空处填动词原型，translate into意为“转化为”，与题意相符，故选A。

【8】考查动词。句意：尽管目前的药物治疗很有效，但它们实际上无法清除体内的感染细胞。分析句子结构可知，空处填动词原型，rid意为“使摆脱”，与题意相符，故选B。

【9】考查过去分词。句意：丹·巴鲁奇博士和他的同事们展示了一种刺激免疫系统的药物，结合一种强大的抗体，在11只动物停止服用抗逆转录病毒药物6个月后，阻止了其中5只动物的艾滋病毒卷土重来。分析句子结构可知，空处和其后短语做a drug的后置定语，再结合句意可知，be combined with意为“与……相结合”，所以此处略去be动词，用过去分词combined做后置定语，故选D。
