Reading Comprehension (40)Section 1 Multiple Choice Questions (30) Directions: In this section, there are reading passages followed by multiple-choice questions. Read the passages

15、 and then mark your answers on your answer sheet.Passage AImagine eating everything delicious you want - with none of the fat. That would be great, wouldnt it? New “fake fat” products appeared on store shelves in the United States recently, but not everyone is happy about it. Makers of the products,

16、 which contain a compound called olestra, say food manufacturers can now eliminate fat from certain foods. Critics, however, say the new compound can rob the body of essential vitamins and nutrients(营养物) and can also cause unpleasant side effects in some people. So its up to consumers to decide whet

17、her the new fat-free products taste good enough to keep eating.Chemists discovered olestra in the late 1960s, when they were searching for a fat that could be digested by infants more easily. Instead of finding the desired fat, the researchers created a fat that cant be digested at all.Normally, spe

18、cial chemicals in the intestines(肠) “grab” molecules of regular fat and break them down so they can be used by the body. A molecule of regular fat is made up of three molecules of substances called fatty acids.The fatty acids are absorbed by the intestines and bring with them the essential vitamins

19、A, D, E, and K. When fat molecules are present in the intestines with any of those vitamins, the vitamins attach to the molecules and are carried into the bloodstream.Olestra, which is made from six to eight molecules of fatty acids, is too large for the intestines to absorb. It just slides through

20、the intestines without being broken down. Manufacturers say its that ability to slide unchanged through the intestines that make olestra so valuable as a fat substitute. It provides consumers with the taste of regular fat without any bad effects on the body. But critics say olestra can prevent vitam

21、ins A, D, E, and K from being absorbed. It can also prevent the absorption of carotenoids(类胡萝卜素), compounds that may reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, etc.Manufacturers are adding vitamins A, D, E, and K as well as carotenoids to their products now. Even so, some nutritionists are still conc

22、erned that people might eat unlimited amounts of food made with the fat substitute without worrying about how many calories they are consuming.Multiple Choice Questions (10)1. We learn from the passage that olestra is a substance that _.A. contains plenty of nutrients B. renders foods calorie-free w

23、hile retaining their vitaminsC. makes foods easily digestible D. makes foods fat-free while keeping them delicious 2. The result of the search for an easily digestible fat turned out to be _. A. commercially useless B. just as anticipated C. somewhat controversial D. quite unexpected3. Olestra is di

24、fferent from ordinary fats in that _. A. it passes through the intestines without being absorbed B. it facilitates the absorption of vitamins by the body C. it helps reduce the incidence of heart disease D. it prevents excessive intake of vitamins 4. What is a possible negative effect of olestra acc

25、ording to some critics?A. It may impair the digestive system. B. It may increase the risk of cancer. C. It may affect the overall fat intake. D. It may spoil the consumers appetite. 5. Why are nutritionists concerned about adding vitamins to olestra? A. It may lead to the over-consumption of vitamin

26、s. B. People may be induced to eat more than is necessary. C. The function of the intestines may be weakened. D. It may trigger a new wave of fake food production.Passage BEvery day theres a steady stream of children and their mothers entering the doors of the Saint Camille Hospital in Ouagadougou-B

27、urkina Fasos capital-patiently waiting to be seen by a doctor. The well-maintained one-storey buildings of the Saint Camille Hospital are known to many. More than five thousand women give birth at the hospital each year, making it the facility with the highest birth rate in the country. Established

28、in the 1960s, its one of the principal areas for health for mothers and their children in the capital. The Saint Camille Hospital deals with the main chronic health problems facing Burkina Faso malaria, HIV/AIDS and child malnutrition. On average, there are 100 children seen daily at the Catholic me

29、dical centre. Most of those children are suffering from malaria -the number one killer of children in Burkina Faso. Burkina Faso is in the forefront of African countries to develop a national multi-sectoral strategy to fight HIV/AIDS. While HIV/AIDS is not as widespread in West Africa as Southern Af

30、rica, Burkina Faso has among the highest HIV prevalence rates in West Africa. About 2 percent of adults are infected nationally, but rates are higher in urban areas and among high risk groups such as truck drivers and commercial sex workers.The Saint Camille Hospital is the pilot site for the countr

31、ys national program to prevent mother to child transmission of HIV/AIDS. And with backing from the World Bank, the Global Fund, and other donors, the facility now also offers AIDS treatment. Its in the facilitys pre-natal counseling centre, World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz, will have a chance to

32、see firsthand hospital staff discussing AIDS with women and encouraging them to be tested. As elsewhere in Africa, children born with HIV develop AIDS quickly, and generally die within one to two years. But with treatment, pregnant women can largely avoid passing HIV to their infants.And just outdoo

33、rs in the facilitys grounds, in a child feeding centre, the World Bank president will see the staffs efforts to deal with child malnutrition. Child malnutrition is worse than it was a decade ago in Burkina Faso, with more than a third of children mal nourished. In the feeding centre, the impact on c

34、hildren of HIV/AIDS is starkly brought home. Children, who dont gain weight after feedings, are tested, and generally found to be HIV positive. In speaking publicly about his planned trip to Africa, Wolfowitz stressed he wanted to meet representatives of womens groups in Africa. Hell have the chance

35、 to do just that at Saint Camille Hospital, as well as meet people living with HIV/AIDS.The World Bank is supporting efforts to combat HIV/AIDS in Burkina Faso through its HIV/AIDS Disaster Response Project, approved in 2001 for $ 24 million. It was the second project approved as part of the US $ 50

36、0 million Multi-Country HIV/AIDS Program for the Africa Region and finances nearly a quarter of the cost of the National HIV/AIDS strategy.And under the multi-country HIV/AIDS Treatment Acceleration Program, known as TAP, Burkina Faso received US $18 million for scaling up AIDS treatment, through pa

37、rtnerships with the countrys Ministry of Health and local associations of people living with AIDS. The Saint Camille Hospitals laboratory will benefit under the TAP program with plans already underway to expand the laboratorys facilities. The World Bank also has plans to embark on a new integrated h

38、ealth and HIV/AIDS support program. A key focus of that will be combating malaria, but it will also seek to improve maternal and child health and nutrition, strengthen HIV prevention programs, and expand access to AIDS care and treatment.Multiple Choice Questions (10)6.
