Women with AIDS

For a long time women with HIV were ignored because the focus was totally on HIV men.The gay community was very much in sight and vocal and successfully got support for its cause.Now we are rapidly approaching the point where about one haff of all AIDS cases in the. world are women. But no one is taking this dangerously high level of infection among women seriously enough.
Women usually have a worse time dealing with HIV than men do.In most cases,the woman is taking care of children as well as her sick partner. She may not even have time to take care of herself. The HIV-positive woman ends up shouldering the family as well as her own personal problems. Men,however,are usually the ones who have insurance income and access to doctors.They get care.Women often do not.
The discrimination against HIV-positive women is simply terrible.They are likely to be more inactive than men in the home and workplace because too many people think that women are the cause of the disease.This is not at all true.They get it from a man.They don't just simply have HIV.Of course,there's a social discrimination against all people with HIV.They are scared that other people will know they are HJV-positive and that they will,therefore be discriminated against. For example,it's very difficult for people with HIV to travel.They are not allowed to enter many countries,including the United States,China and Russia.
The biggest difficulty an HIV-positive woman must face is the isolatjon.Once the woman knows she's HIV-positive,she lives in fear that other people will find out.She's so frightened she will go into hiding,into an isolated place by herself. It's not at all uncommon to meet a woman who has been HIV-positive for nearly 10 years and has never told anyone,except her doctor. And the resulting stress is enough to make her sick.But HIV-positive women who get support,who can discuss their trouble and then do something about it一whether that means taking better care of themselves or going to the United Nations to struggle for their rights一are likely to live longer. Active women don't die out of shame in a corner. This happens to too many HIV-positive women.

选项 HIV-positive women make up nearly half of all AIDS cases in the world.
A:Right       
B:Wrong       
C:Not mentioned

答案A

解析第一段第三句讲到“全球艾滋病病例中的一半都是女性”,因此本句表述是正确的。
第一段最后一句讲到“no one is taking this dangerously high level of infection among women seriously enough",即没人认真对待女性中危险的高感染率。因此本句的表述是错误的。
虽然文章第三段最后一句提到很多国家不允许携带HIV病毒的人入境,如美国、中国和俄罗斯,却并没有说这些国家的艾滋病感染者最多。因此选项C是正确的。
文章第三段描述了患艾滋病的女性所受的歧视,但是中间也提到“there's a social discrimination against all people with HIV",所以应该是所有患艾滋病的人都会受到社会歧视。本句陈述是错误的,选择选项B。
最后一段第一句就说:"The biggest difficulty an HIV-positive woman must face is the isolation.”因而本句表述是正确的,选择选项A。
文章最后一段讲到那些得到支持并且能同他人讨论自己的问题,从而采取对策的HIV呈阳性的女人可能会活得更长。对具备这些特质的女人,作者在后文中称呼她们为“active women"。因此该句表述是正确的,选择选项A。
文章中并没有直接明说,但是从最后一段作者对消极应对艾滋病的种种危害的描述来看,他是鼓励患艾滋病的女性勇敢地告诉他人以减轻自己的压力,更好地治疗。因此选项A是正确的。
