Passage One
It has become a cliche among doctors
who deal with AIDS that the only way to stop the epidemic is to develop a
vaccine against HIV, the virus that causes it. Unfortunately, there is no sign
of such a thing becoming available soon. The best hope was withdrawn from trials
just over a year ago amid fears that it might actually be making things worse.
As a result, vaccine researchers have mostly gone back to the drawing board of
basic research. Meanwhile, the virus marches on. Last year, according to UNAIDS,
the international body charged with combating it, 2.7 million people were
infected, bringing the estimated total to 33 million.
Reuben
Granich and his colleagues at the World Health Organization (WHO), though, have
been exploring an alternative approach. Instead of a vaccine, they wonder, as
they write in The Lancet, whether the job might be done with drugs.
In the spread of any contagious disease, each act of infection has two
parties, one who already has the disease and one who does not. Vaccination works
by treating the uninfected individual prophylactically (预防地). Since it is"
impossible to say in advance who might be exposed, that means vaccinating
everybody. The alternative, as Dr. Granich observes, is to treat the infected
individual and thus stop him being infectious. For this to curb an epidemic
would require an enormous public-health campaign of the sort used to promote
vaccination. But that campaign would be of a different kind. It would have to
identify all (or, at least, almost all) of those infected. It would then have to
persuade them to undergo not a short, simple vaccination course, but rather a
drug regime that would continue indefinitely.
The first question
to ask of such an approach is, could it work in principle It is this that Dr.
Granich and his colleagues have tried to answer. Using data from several African
countries, they have constructed a computer model to test the idea. In their
ideal world, everyone over the age of 15 would volunteer for testing once a
year. If found to be infected, they would be put immediately onto a course of
what are known as first-line antiretroviral drugs (ARVs). These are reasonably
cheap, often generic, pharmaceuticals (医药品) that, although they do not cure
someone, do lower the level of the virus in his body to the extent that he
suffers no symptoms. They also -- and this is the point of the study -- reduce
the level enough to make him unlikely to pass the virus on. For the 3% or so of
people per year for whom the first-line ARVs do not work, more expensive
second-line treatments would be used.
A.it tries to vaccinate everybody by preventing them from infected
B.it treats the individuals infected to prevent them from spreading
C.it tries to deal with all the contagious diseases
D.it persuades the infected patients to have a vaccination course
单项选择题Passage Two
There has rarely been a tougher time to
be a carmaker, Squeezed by the credit crunch, rocked by the seesawing price of
oil and now faced with a nasty recession as the banking crisis infects the real
economy, the traditional markets of North America, western Europe and Japan,
already sluggish (行动迟缓的) for several years, have all but packed up. In America
car sales are running at about 16% below last year’s level. Detroit’s struggling
big three -- General Motors, Ford and Chrysler- are in dire(可怕的) straits. They
have gotten a $25 billion bailout from Congress and are now looking for much
more. In Europe the market is also collapsing. Sales in Japan this year are
expected to be the lowest since 1974.
However, not all is doom
and gloom. Mature vehicle markets may be close to saturation (饱和), but there is
huge unsatisfied demand in the big emerging car markets of Brazil, Russia, India
and China (the so-called BRICs). Although not immune from the rich countries’
troubles, they are likely to suffer much less. For one thing, levels of personal
debt are far lower and a smaller proportion of cars are bought on credit. For
another, the BRIC economies have been expanding so fast that even a slowdown
should still leave them with growth rates that look respectable to Western
eyes.
One measure of the BRIC countries’ new importance to the
car industry is that, recession or not, global car sales in 2008 may still hit
an all-time record of about 59 million. For the first time passenger-vehicle
sales in the BRICs, at around 14 million, are likely to overtake those in
America, which are expected to be the worst since 1992. As recently as 2005
America outsold them by over 10 million. By the end of this decade China,
already the world’s second-biggest market, will probably overtake America’s
sales of 16 million-17 million in a "normal" year. In Brazil sales have
increased by nearly 30% in each of the past two years.
It is the
irresistible combination of rapid economic growth, favorable demographics (人口特征)
and social change in the BRICs that is coming to the carmakers’ rescue and that
is likely to account for nearly all their growth for the foreseeable future.
America has more than 900 cars (including light trucks) for every 1,000 people
of driving age.
When times are hard, an American family that
already has two or three cars will simply postpone buying a new one. But a
potential customer in an emerging market who has been saving for years to buy
his first car will still want to go ahead. As Carlos Ghosn, the boss of the
Renault-Nissan alliance, put it at this year’s Beijing motor show: "Nothing can
stop the car being the most coveted product that comes with
development."
A.The difficult situation in America is just temporary instead of permanent.
B.The mature vehicle markets are not doomed to suffer the gloom.
C.Not all vehicle markets are suffering such a gloomy situation.
D.Only carmakers in Detroit are undergoing the difficult situation.

Conventional wisdom says that it is better to be a large
company than a small one when credit is tight. Bigger firms have more room for
maneuver(机动):They have access to more types of funding, they have more fat to
cut, and they have greater bargaining power with lenders. Even so, life is
getting ever more uncomfortable for the bigger beasts of the corporate
jungle.
According to the Federal Reserve’s most recent lending
survey, American banks are tightening terms more aggressively for bigger firms
than for smaller ones. Lenders are more cautious than they
have been at least
since 1990. The story among European banks is similar. Lenders in emerging
markets can be more suspicious of multinational firms than they are of locals.
"We just don’t know what they’ve got on their balance-sheets back home," says
one bank boss in Africa.
Violent movements in exchange rates are
causing additional headaches, says Andrew Balfour of Slaughter & May, a law
firm. Calculations of financial ratios can be thrown out by wild currency
movements, potentially triggering breaches of loan agreements. Companies with
sterling-denominated credit lines may find that their facilities are not big
enough as a result of the pound’s recent sharp fall, for instance.
It is not panic stations yet. Most firms can survive for a while with the
credit tap turned off. Analysis by Moody’s, a rating agency, shows that the vast
majority of highly rated companies in America and Europe have enough headroom,
in the form of cash and undrawn bank facilities, to be able to survive for 12
months without needing new financing. European corporate-debt markets have seen
a rare flurry(惊慌) of issues in the past few days by opportunistic, highly rated
firms.
Governments are also working hard to prop up credit
markets. The Fed’s program to buy commercial paper, a form of short-term company
debt, had acquired almost $300 billion by November 26th. Banks on both sides of
the Atlantic are issuing lots of government-backed bonds, which should encourage
lending.
