河南省焦作市修武一中10-11学年高二上学期期中考试

A

Bellwood, IL - Kombo Peshu came to the United States from the poor village of Mwands, Kenya, ten years ago when Father Richard Quinn gave him the chance to further his education. Kombo was given a full scholarship to study for a master’s degree.

When Kombo returned to Kenya for a visit four years later, he realized how lucky he was to have received his education in the United States. Over the four years he was in America, conditions in Mwanda had worsened, and he was struck by how many children were struggling to receive a proper education.

Kombo knew that he had to give back to his people after seeing such hardships. First, he began to give money out of his own pocket, but he soon realized he had to do more. He went back to the United States and asked for donations(捐献), and was finally able to raise enough to start the Mughamba Scholarship Foundation, a fund for children in his village of Mwanda who cannot afford school. The people around him were so moved by his emotional accounts of these children that some of them not only gave money but also traveled with him back to Mwanda to see firsthand what daily life is like for these children.

Kombo continues to raise money for his village and currently has 40 students on scholarships for high school and 5 at universities in Kenya. In addition to continuing to raise money for his scholarship fund and by selling traditional Kenyan items he is also working to raise money to get more running water in his village.

答案：44-46 CBC

D

On June 5, 1981 the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, U.S. announced the presence of a rare, infectious disease in five American homosexuals (同性恋). Soon doctors were finding similar cases all over the country and the world. The AIDS epidemic(流行病)had officially begun. By 1983 it was clear that AIDS had spread around the world. More than twenty years later, AIDS has left twenty-six million dead and another forty million infected. AIDS has become the worst medical disaster ever experienced by mankind.

　 Hundreds of young people between the ages of 20 and 45 died each week during the early years of the U.S. AIDS. More than 600,000 cases of AIDS have been reported since 1981 in the United States, and it is estimated that there may be as many as 900,000 Americans infected with HIV.

　 Though the rate of HIV infections continues to increase in the United States, the number of AIDS cases has fallen sharply since 1996, when antiretroviral drugs came onto the market. Unfortunately, the AIDS epidemic continues today in Africa and much of Asia, where antiretroviral treatment is not available and health care is far from enough. AIDS is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide, and the No. 1 cause of death due to infectious disease.

　 HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, was first separated in 1983 by a team at the Pasteur Institute in Paris. That discovery made it possible to develop a test for AIDS and trace back to victims who may have died before doctors were aware of the disease.

　 However, scientists still don't know exactly how and where AIDS started. Finding the source of AIDS could be important in developing a vaccine(疫苗) and be important in mapping the future course of the epidemic.
