Need for Emphasis on Treatment

AIDS programs in developing countries put too little emphasis on treatment,the World Health Organization
said Tuesday,asking for more small community-based clinics to be opened to treat HIV-infected people.
An estimated 36 million to 46 million people are living with AIDS,two-thirds of them in Africa,but
only 440,000 people in developing countries were receiving treatment by the end of 2003,the UN health
agency said in its annual report.
"Without treatment,all of them will die a premature and in most cases painful death,"the WHO said in
the 169-page World Health Report.
WHO Director General Lee Jong-wook said community-based treatment should be added to disease pre-
vention and care for sufferers in AIDS programs.
"Future generations will judge our time in large part by our response to the AIDS disease,"Lee said.
"By tackling it decisively we will also be building health systems that can meet the health needs of
today and tomorrow. This is a historic opportunity we cannot afford to miss,"he added.
Antiretroviral drugs enable people hit by AIDS to live longer. The annual cost of treatment,which was
about $10,000 when the drugs were first developed,has dropped to about$150.
Treatment programs also help AIDS prevention efforts,the report said,citing great demands for testing
and counseling where treatment has been made available.
Good counseling in turn leads to more effective prevention in those who are uninfected,and significantly
reduces the potential for HIV carriers to pass on the infection,the report said.
Since its discovery in the 1980s,more than 20 million have died of AIDS,mostly in poor countries.
选项 How many people have died of AIDS so far?
A:36 million.
B:46 million.
C:Around 440, 000.
D:More than 20 million.
答案D
解析本题为事实细节分析题。从文章第二段“An estimated 36 million to 46 million people are with AIDS,two-thirds of them in Africa,but only 440,000 people in developing countries were re-ceiving treatment by the end of 2003”可知，在非洲艾滋病患者高达两、三千万人，而生活在发展 中国家的艾滋病患者，接受治疗的人数却只有44万，相对来说太少了。
从文章第二段中最后一句话中“annual report"，可知世界卫生组织的“世界卫生报告” 是每年发表一次。
本题为推理判断题。从文章第四段和第五段内容可知，Lee说到：社会应对艾滋病的预 防加大力度，多关心艾滋病患者；后代对我们这一时代的评价主要取决于我们对待艾滋病的反 应。由此可见：对待艾滋病，我们的反应是至关重要的一件事。故选A。
文章倒数第三段提到，对于艾滋病的治疗对预防艾滋病也颇有益处。
文章最后一段指出，自从20世纪80年代发现艾滋病到现在，已有两千万人死于该病。 第三篇 本篇文章主要讲述了几种解决讲话时口干问题的方法，提出在演讲之前不能饮酒。告诫大 家改掉坏毛病保护好嗓子。
