Attitudes to AIDS Now

Most people say that the USA is making progress in fighting AIDS,but they don't know there's no cure
and strongly disagree that" the AIDS epidemic（流行）is over,"a new survey finds.
The findings,released Thursday by the Kaiser Family Foundation,reassure activists who have worried
that public concern about AIDS might disappear in light of recent news about advances in treatment and
declines in deaths.
"While people are very optimistic about the advances,they're still realistic about the fact that there is no
cure",says Sophia Chang,director of HIV programs at the foundation.
The Kaiser survey, like a recent USA TODAY Gallup Poll（民意测验）,does find that the number of
people ranking AIDS as the country's top health problem has fallen.In the Kaiser poll,38%say it's the top
concern,down from 44% in a 1996 poll;in the Gallup Poll,29% say AIDS is No.1,down from 41% in 1992
and 67% in 1987.
Other findings from Kaiser,which polled more than 1,200 adults in September and October and asked
additional questions of another 1,000 adults in November:
52% say the country is making progress against AIDS,up from 32%in 1995.
51% say the government spends too little on AIDS.
86% correctly say AIDS drugs can now lengthen lives;an equal number correctly say that the drugs are
not cures.
67% incorrectly say that AIDS deaths increased or stayed the same in the past year;24% know deaths
fell.
Daniel Zingale,director of AIDS Action Council,says,"I'm encouraged that the American people are
getting the message that the AIDS epidemic isn't over. I hope the decision-makers in Washington are getting
the same message... We have seen signs of complacency（得意）."
选项 The word"message"in the last paragraph means___________.
A:news
B:report
C:point
D:result
答案C
解析由文章第一段第一句可知A项正确。making progress相当于advances, in fighting相当 于in treating。
由文章第二段第一句中的“reassure activists who have worried that public concern about AIDS might disappear”可知选A。disappear相当于not concern anymore。
由第四段中的“Kaiser poll...down from...”和“Gallup poll...down from...”可知人们的关 注度都下降了，故选A。
由第七段“51% say the government spends too little on AIDS”可知选C。
message在语境中意为“观点”'C项与此意相近。 第三篇 文章主要讲述了Kazi的成功历程。
