【原文】
A new report by the UN AIDS organizations finds the global AIDS epidemic is worsening. The agency says more people in all regions around the world are becoming infected with HIV, the virus which causes AIDS.
UN AIDS reports that significant progress has been made in providing treatment for larger numbers of AIDS victims and in achieving greater political and financial commitments in the fight against the fatal disease. Despite this, the report says none of these efforts has been enough to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS. Last year, the report notes five million people became newly infected with HIV. That is more people than any previous year. Currently, it says, more than 38 million people are living with the disease.
UN AIDS Senior Adviser Karen Stanecki says Asia, with 60 percent of the world's population, is home to some of the fastest growing epidemics in the world. In 2003 alone, she says, more than one million people became infected with HIV.
“Equally alarming, we have only just begun to witness the full impact of AIDS on African societies as infections continue to grow and people are dying in large numbers. The scale of the problem in Africa is well documented, with over 25 million infections. If we don’t act now, 60 percent of today’s 15-year-olds will not reach their 60th birthday.”
The report says the Caribbean is the hardest hit region in the
world after Africa. It also finds the HIV/AIDS epidemic is continuing to expand in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, mainly due to intravenous drug users.
UN AIDS says infections also are on the rise in the United States and Western Europe. It blames this largely on the widespread availability of anti-AIDS drags, which it says has made some people in these wealthy countries complacent.
UN AIDS Director of Monitoring and Evaluation, Paul De Lay, acknowledges that around the world prevention programs are reaching fewer than one in five people who need them. Nevertheless, he says there has been a dramatic increase in prevention activities for young people and several other successes as well.
"In Africa, for instance, 60 percent of children have access to AIDS education both in primary and secondary schools. That is a huge increase from the late 1990s. In highly vulnerable groups like sex workers, we are seeing a real success story in Africa. 32 percent of sex workers that are identified have access to HIV prevention and there is a large increase in condom use in this population."
The report says global spending on AIDS has increased greatly, but, more is needed. It estimates $12 billion will be needed by next year, and $20 billion by 2007, for prevention and care in developing countries. The United Nations says AIDS funding has increased sharply in recent years, in part due to the US government's global AIDS initiative. But it says still globally less than half the money needed is being provided.

4) regulations, implications
B. 1) a) 2) b) 3) a)
C.
1) Human genes are all under close study in laboratories.
2) It implies that insurance companies or employers might take advantage and discriminate against those who have been identified as being at high risk.
【原文】
Mary Gearin: Welcome to the lab. Like it or not, we're all in the
Petri dish now as more scientists than ever look for
the cause of our habits lying hidden in our genes.
Dr. Whitfield: The advances in DNA technology mean that techniques
can be applied to this type of research which weren't
possible before and which give the prospect of what you
might call an explosion in outcomes in actual findings
that we can use.
Mary Gearin: It's a detective story with an unknown number of
villains. We haven't established how many of our 40,000
genes may leave us more likely to be addicted, but some
scientists do believe they've confirmed a layperson's
principle—that we're about half nature, half nurture.
Dr. Whitfield: The conclusion at the moment is that genetics
accounts for about half the variation in liability to
a number of kinds of addiction and that environmental
influences, or just the random things that happen to
us as we go through life, account for the other half.
Mary Gearin: Of course, genes won't determine who will or won't
become an addict, only those who are more prone to
becoming one. Listen to a reformed smoker and a leading
researcher in the field, Wayne Hall.
Wayne Hall: I think we really do have a task in front of us to
educate people that “genetic” doesn’t mean fixed,
immutable, unchangeable, fated. It still leaves plenty
of room for human decision, choice and capacity to
influence and change behaviour.
Mary Gearin: Wayne Hall is pushing for regulations to deal with the
ethical implications that have inevitably surfaced.
Wayne Hall: If we were able to identify people in advance as being
at high risk because they possessed a set of genes, then
that might have adverse effects on them in terms of the
way others in their social environment treat them. It
might have effects if insurance companies take account
of that information or employers and so on.
Mary Gearin: But would addicts take any more responsibility for
their own actions Our distinctly unscientific sample
of smokers told us: not really. If a test came out, would
you have yourself tested to see if you had that gene
Julie: Honestly, probably not.
Mary Gearin: Would you want your kids to take that test to perhaps
ware them off smoking if they had that gene as well
John Mackay: Only if they become problem smokers I'd probably suggest it, yeah. Otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.

1) elementary school teacher, frustrations, peers, taught, learnt
2) high EQ, adults, children
【原文】
Claire Nolan: Hi. This is Claire Nolan.
Bill Rodney: Any I’m Bill Rodney. Today we’ll be discussing EQ—not IQ. EQ: emotional intelligence. We've been
hearing a lot about EQ lately, and in fact you might have
seen Daniel Goleman's best-selling book about it in the
bookstore. Your emotional intelligence quotient seems
to include both intra- and interpersonal
relationships—in other words, how well you handle your
own emotions, and how well you respond to others. Claire Nolan: Yes, but Bill, that's not exactly a new idea, is it
I mean—I know a lot of old proverbs about thinking
before you act, and that kind of thing.
Bill Rodney: That's true, but the term itself is a new one, and it shows that people have realized, the way you control your
feelings is just as important as your education—maybe
even more important. But what's really interesting and
the focus of today's session is: Can you learn EQ We'll
be talking to three people today—all educators, in
their own way—to get their perspective on it. Our first
guest is Betty Cortina. Betty, you're an elementary
school teacher. Do you really think that some kids have
higher EQ's than others
Betty Cortina: Oh sure! Even at five or six years old, some of the
kids tend to be much more patient and easy-going than
others. And then others are prone to shout and make a
big fuss. I mean, I don't want to make it sound as if
it's bad to be spirited, or anything, but if you can't
control your emotions, even at that age, you can have
a lot of problems.
Bill Rodney: Like what
Betty Cortina: Well, if you can't deal with setbacks, you don't make progress; and if you're always impatient, your peers
don't like you.
Bill Rodney: Can you give us an example
Betty Corrina: Sure. One example is how kids deal with frustration.
Imagine a child who is having trouble doing a math
problem. She gets frustrated with the problem, throws
her pencil down, yells angrily, "This is a stupid
problem! I hate it!" Another child, with a higher EQ,
might be able to handle the situation better. She might
try different ways to approach the problem, or ask for
help, and so on. And she will be more successful because
she won't let her negative feelings get in the way of
her task.
Bill Rodney: I guess I can understand that, but my question is: Can you learn to have a higher EQ Let’s see, our next
guest is Jim McDonald. Do you want to respond to that
question
Jim McDonald: Yes. Well, as you know, I run management training programs for a bank here in the city, and I agree this
EQ idea is d efinitely important. Let’s face it: When
the going gets tough, it’s much better for an employee
to have a positive, enthusiastic attitude than to dwell
on failures. But what I find is that some people just
take life in stride and other people don't. I mean, of
course you can point them in the right
direction—that's what I try to do in my seminars—but
some people never learn to improve their EQ.
Betty Cortina: No, I disagree. Kids can be taught to have patience and not to give up when things go wrong. They learn to
respond well to their emotions. They learn how to sit
still and listen, and how to respect others. And I don't
believe we are born with a high emotional intelligence
quotient. I think we have to learn those skills.
Jim McDonald: Okay, so maybe you can teach children, but frankly,
I don't see how adults can ever change. I mean, I work
with a lot of managers, and the good ones are sharp,
perceptive people who respond well to change. I don't
think the others can learn that.
Bill Rodney: Why not
Jim McDonald: Well, part of the problem is that people with a low EQ have a difficult time seeing how their behavior
affects other people. They see no reason to change.
Their behavior has negative effects—for themselves
and for others—but they don't see it that way. They
tend to blame other people for the problems they are
having. People like this just don’t work well with
other people. I’d say they have a lower EQ and
they’ll probably never adjust their behavior.
Task 4
【答案】
A.
1) Marriage counsel/Psychologist.
2) Yes.
3) With help, he learned to see that his wife’s success was also his success instead of his failure.
B.
1) T 2) F 3) T
【原文】
Bill Rodney: Our third guest, Ian Davis, is a marriage counselor.
Ian, from the perspective of a marriage counselor, can
adults change their EQ's
Ian Davis: Yes. I am a psychologist and I work with couples, married couples, who are having problems. From what I can see,
some people, adults, I mean, can change their EQ's.
Bill Rodney: How so
Ian Davis: Well, I think that the key to keeping a relationship together is learning to empathize with your partner.
Bill Rodney: Did you say "empathize"
lan Davis: Yes, it's crucial. Couples who have successful relationships try hard to understand each other's
feelings. First, you have to put yourself in your
partner's shoes. That makes it easier for you to make
allowances for your partner's weaknesses. You have to
learn to control your reactions even when you feel angry
or resentful.
Bill Rodney: So you're saying people can learn those things Don't you think that, as Jim said, some people have it and some
don't
Ian Davis: No, I disagree strongly with what he said. I do see people change. If I didn't think people could change, I'd be in
a different line of work!
Bill Rodney: I'm not quite sure I understand what you're saying.
Tell us about someone you've seen acquire a higher EQ. Ian Davis: Well, let me tell you about a case I saw recently. I had some clients, a husband and wife, a few months ago,
and the wife had gotten a promotion at work. Now the
husband was happy for her, of course, but he also felt
a bit jealous. He felt like a failure because he hadn’t
gotten a promotion at his job.
Bill Rodney: So what happened to them
Ian Davis: Well, the husband had to learn to swallow his pride and put aside his negative feeling. I told him to concentrate
on the good thing that had happened to his wife instead
of thinking about himself. With practice, he was able to
see that her success was also his success, not his failure.
I really think he raised his own EQ by doing that.
Bill Rodney: Thank you, Ian. And I’ll remember to keep EQ in mind.
Maybe I can get a little better it! And thank you, Betty
and Jim, for joining us today.

Bill: Good morning, everyone. This is Bill and the show is Body Talk.
Today's topic is problems with doctors. Now, who hasn't had
a problem with a doctor Call in and tell us yours. Our number
is 1-800-555-BODY. That didn't take long…here's our first caller now. Hello, this is Bill and you're on Body Talk! Shelley Travers: Morning, Bill. This is Shelley Travers, calling from New York City. Thanks for taking my call. I just
want to say how important I think it really is for
a doctor to listen to a patient.
Bill: Tell me about it! So, Shelley, what happened to you Shelley Travers: Well, I was getting these really bad, shooting pains in my back. I couldn't sleep at night or
anything. So I went to my doctor, and he examined me
and had me do all these tests and things. And I even
had to go into the hospital for some X-rays. But after
all that—I mean, I took off a lot of time from
work—they told me there was nothing wrong with me.
I was thinking about trying alternative medicine and
going to a chiropractor when a co-worker... I'm a
secretary...
Bill: What was that, Shelley I didn't catch all of what you said. You mean, you were in serious pain.., the doctor's
tests didn't show anything…you were going to go to a
chiropractor...
Shelley Travers: Well, yes, that's right. Awful, right But a co-worker said, "You know, your desk chair is too hard.
If you sat on a soft cushion that might make your back
feel better." Anyway, she was totally right. So then
I felt really mad, because, I mean, I had taken all
that time from work to see the doctor, but all I really
needed was a cushion!
Bill: So, your doctor hadn't really listened and asked the right questions, right, Shelley
Shelley Travers: Yeah, that's right. He never asked me what kind of work I did, or how long I spent at the computer
every day. If he had asked some questions, he probably
wouldn't have sent me for all those tests!
Bill: Sure sounds like your doctor wasn't much help. But, I'm glad the cushion worked. Thanks, Shelley. Bye, now. Hi,
Bill here. You're on Body Talk.
Linda Jenkins: Hi there, Bill. My name is Linda Jenkins, and I’m calling from Atlanta, Georgia. I want to tell you what
happened to me… It’s kind of embarrassing though…
Bill: Ah, go ahead. Linda, Don't be embarrassed. We're listening
Linda Jenkins: Well... ah... Okay. I had this big wart on my foot. It got so bad that I could hardly...
Bill: Sorry to interrupt you, Linda. What did you say Linda Jenkins: A wart, you know, a hard lump. Kids get them on their hands all the time, but I got one on the bottom of my
left foot. So, my doctor said I'd probably need an
operation to remove it. Burn it off, or something. He
really scared me!
Bill: So, you were scared, but did you take his advice Linda Jenkins: No, actually, I didn't. But I was just desperate, because, you know, I could hardly walk. So, I decided
to try acupuncture.
Bill: Wait a minute. I didn't catch that. What did you say Linda Jenkins: I tried acupuncture—I went to an acupuncturist. And you know, she really listened to me and got me to change
my diet and get more rest. She said the wart was
probably a reaction to stress. I had been working late
a lot. Eventually, the wart cleared up. I really think
that doctors have to be more careful before they
recommend operations. Sometimes there's a much simpler
treatment. I mean, if doctors put themselves in their
patients' shoes, they might not be so quick to start
cutting!
Bill: You know, Linda, you're absolutely right! I couldn't agree with you more! Thanks for sharing your story with
us. Good-bye, and good luck! Hello, you're on Body Talk. Ray Ishwood: Hello, Bill. Ray Ishwood, calling from Eugene, Oregon.
Bill: How are you doing, Ray
Ray Ishwood: Fine, Bill. Ah, well.., here's my story. For several years, I've had arthritis in my hands and wrists. This
winter—it was so cold and rainy—the pain got really
bad. My doctor gave me a series of injections, really
painful, to my hands. He said that in a few weeks I would
feel better.
Bill: Well, did you Did those painful shots help
Ray Ishwood: Well... I don't really know... I mean, I'm feeling a lot better now, but I think it's because of the warmer
weather. I tend to get worse when it's cold and rainy
outside. So, I don't think that the shots were that much
help. And they were very painful. I just don't want to
continue with them if they don't really make much of
a difference.
Bill: You're probably right, Ray. Well, I'm glad you're feeling better, and thanks for calling Body Talk.

B. red, itchy eyes, runny nose, difficult breathing
C. 1. Normal
2. Allergic
【原文】
Today I think we are ready to start talking about allergies, and about allergic reactions. In the first part of my lecture, I'm going to explain what an allergic reaction is. Then I will try to describe what an allergic reaction to a bee sting is like. In the second part of my lecture, I'm going to talk about allergy testing and allergy shots. I'll explain one way the testing is done. I'll also tell you how and why allergy shots are given. That's a lot to cover, so let's begin.
What is an allergic reaction Well, an allergic reaction is really an action of the immune system in the body—an action of the
immune system in your body. The immune system's job is to protect you, to make antibodies to protect you from things that are dangerous to your health. In an allergic reaction, however, your body makes antibodies to something that isn't really a problem for the body—that is, it's not usually a problem for someone without an allergy. For example, milk and cats’ hair and dust are usually not dangerous to humans. But, for some reason, your body might produce antibodies to milk or to cats' hair or to dust. Your body is trying to protect you from these things.
When the immune system does this, it is, in a sense, working too hard. The result is a fight. The fight is between your antibodies and the milk you drank or the cat hair or the dust you breathed in. You know your body is having a fight because you sneeze, or you have red, itchy eyes and a runny nose, or you feel tired, or you may have difficulty breathing. These are some of the common signs of an allergy.
Now let's turn our attention to one specific allergic reaction. Let's look at what happens with a bee sting. Anyone who gets a bee sting will have some reaction. A normal reaction is pain and swelling and redness where the sting is. This type of reaction is also called a local reaction because the reaction is only in the location, the place, where the sting is.
In contrast, an allergic reaction to a bee sting is a much stronger reaction. It is a general reaction that affects the whole body. This general reaction is called an anaphylactic reaction, a-n-a-p-h-y-l-a-c-t-i-c. This is shown in the figure on page 76, so take a look at the figure. In this kind of reaction, several things happen. There is pain and swelling, but it is all over the body, not just where the sting is. The person's legs, arms, feet, and face usually itch and turn red. It often becomes difficult for the person to breathe. The person can also become weak and confused. The blood pressure may drop. For some people, these reactions may continue for hours unless some medicine is given. In fact, the person can die if he or she isn't given medicine to stop the reaction.
Task 7
【答案】
A. 1) T 2) F 3) F 4) F
B. definition, prevention, an unusual, antibodies, symptoms, Untreated, death, the thing, an allergic reaction
C. under the skin, red bump, less sensitive, several times
【原文】
Now, if you are allergic to something, it's important to know
how to prevent these reactions. One question is: How do people know
if they are allergic to something, say, if they are allergic to bee
stings One way to find out is to have an allergy test. One type of
test is a skin test. To do the test, the doctor injects a small amount
of the venom, the poison from the bee, under the skin. You can see
this in the left hand figure on page 77. Then, the doctor watches
closely to see what happens. The doctor pays attention to two things:
the color of the skin and the size of the bump on the skin. This
is shown in the right hand figure on the same page. If the skin reacts
strongly—in other words, if the bump is big and very red—this means
the person is very allergic. If the skin only changes a little, the
person is only slightly allergic. If the skin doesn't change, this
usually means the person isn't allergic.
If the doctor finds out the person is allergic to bees, or bee
stings, allergy shots are often recommended. In the allergy shots,
the doctor uses a small amount of bee venom. The doctor does this
to make the person less sensitive to the venom, in other words, to
build up the person's immunity to the venom. This is similar to what
doctors do when they give children shots against childhood diseases
like measles.
Each visit, the doctor increases the amount of venom in the shot.
The doctor starts off with a very small amount of venom and uses
slightly more each time. Increasing the amount builds up immunity
to the venom. This immunity will not protect the person from a bee
sting, of course. If the person gets stung, he or she will still
get a local reaction, but will not have an allergic reaction. Okay,
so that's basically how the allergy shots work.
To sum up the main points of our talk today, let's recall what
an allergic reaction is and how allergic reactions can be prevented.
Remember that an allergic reaction is an unusual reaction to
something that doesn't normally affect people. In an allergic
reaction, for example, to a bee sting, the body keeps producing
antibodies and the person can have an anaphylactic reaction. This
can be very serious, and the person may even die if he or she isn't
given medicine. Allergy shots help you to prevent an allergic
reaction. They help make someone less sensitive to the thing that
causes the allergy, such as the bee venom.
Okay, well, if can remember these points, I think that's all for
today.
Task 8
【原文】
Want your kids to eat healthy Check your own diet. The more fruit and vegetables Mom and Dad eat, the more Junior is likely to consume, according to a study of two-to-six-year-olds at London's University College. And youngsters who were introduced to these foods earlier tended to reach for them more often. Those who had been breast-fed ate fruit and vegetables more frequently than bottle-fed kids. The likely reason Breast milk takes on the flavours of the food Mom eats.
Speaking of milk, researchers found that girls who met calcium requirements had mothers who drank more milk. Moreover, those who got at least the minimum recommended amount of calcium at age five (800 mg daily) were nearly five times as likely to so at age nine (1,300 mg daily).

Unit 7 Task 1 【答案】 A. 1) In a mental asylum. 2) He was a member of a committee which went there to show concern for the pertinents there. 3) They were cants behaving like humans. 4) He was injured in a bus accident and became mentally ill. 5) He spent the rest of his life in comfort. B. painter, birds, animals, cats, wide, published, encouragement, A year or two, The Illustrated London News, cats' Christmas party, a hundred and fifty, world famous 【原文】 Dan Rider, a bookseller who loved good causes, was a member of a committee that visited mental asylums. On one visit he noticed a patient, a quiet little man, drawing cats. Rider looked at the drawings and gasped. "Good lord, man," he exclaimed. "You draw like Louis Wain!" "I am Louis Wain," said the artist. Most people today have never heard of Louis Wain. But, when Rider found him in 1925, he was a household name. "He made the cat his own. He invented a cat style, a cat society, a whole cat world," said H. G. Wells in a broadcast appeal a month or two later. "British cats that do not look and live like Louis Wain cats are ashamed of themselves." Before Louis Wain began drawing them, cats were kept strictly in the kitchen if they were kept at all. They were useful for catching mice and perhaps for keeping the maidservant company. Anyone else who felt affection for cats usually kept quiet about it. If a man admitted that he liked cats, he would be laughed at. The dog was the only domestic animal that could be called a friend. Louis Wain studied art as a youth and became quite a successful newspaper and magazine artist. He specialized in birds and animals, including dogs, but never drew a cat till his wife was dying. They had not been married long, and during her illness a black-and-white cat called Peter used to sit on her bed. To amuse his wife, Louis Wain used to sketch and caricature the cat while he sat by her bedside. She urged him to show these-drawings to editors, fie was unconvinced, but wanted to humour her. The first editor he approached shared his lack of enthusiasm. "Whoever would want to see a picture of a cat?" he asked, and Louis Wain put the drawings away. A year or two later he showed them to the editor of The Illustrated London News, who suggested a picture of a cats' Christmas party across two full pages. Using his old sketches of Peter, Louis Wain produced a picture containing about a hundred and fifty cats, each one different from the rest. It took him a few days to draw, and it made him world famous. For the next twenty-eight years he drew nothing but cats. He filled his house with them, and sketched them in all their moods. There was nothing subtle about his work. Its humour simply lay in showing cats performing human activities; they followed every new fashion from sea bathing to motoring. He was recognized, somewhat flatteringly, as the leading authority on the feline species. He became President of the National Cat Club and was eagerly sought after as a judge at cat shows. Louis Wain's career ended abruptly in 1914, when he was seriously injured in a

2016年6月大学英语四级考试真题（第3套）参考答案 Part I Writing Dear Jack, I am writing to extend my sincere gratitude for the assistance you provided to me. You are the kindest teacher that I have ever met. If it had not been for your help and encouragement, I am afraid that I would not have made remarkable progress in English throughout the school year. There is no denying the fact that my success in entering college is attributed in great part to your guidance and encouragement. It was you who motivated me to study hard and brought home to me the importance of mastering English to my future achievement. Moreover, not only did you help me find out a feasible way to improve my English, but you also made plans and set goals to achieve my full potential in learning English. Again, many thanks for all the things you have done for me. May everything go well with you. Sincerely yours, Part IV Translation Wuzhen is an ancient water town in Zhejiang Province, located on the bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

B. If all the seas were one sea, what a great sea it would be! And if all the trees were one tree, what a great tree it would be! And if this tree were to fall in the sea, what a great splash there would be!
Yesterday morning Gretel went to the City of London. She wanted to see St. Paul's Cathedral. She was surprised to see so many Englishmen who looked alike. They were all wearing dark suits and bowler hats. They were all carrying umbrellas and newspapers. When she returned home she asked Mr clark about these strange creatures. "They must be typical English gentlemen," she said." I have often read about them and seen photographs of them. They all look as if they are wearing a uniform. Does the typical English gentleman still exist?" Mr. Clark laughed. "I've never thought about it," he answered." It's true that many of the men who work in the City of London still wear bowler hate and I suppose they are typical Englishmen. But look at this." Mr. Clark picked up a magazine and pointed at a photo of a young man. "He's just as typical, perhaps. It seems as if there is no such thing as a 'typical' Englishman. Do you know the English saying 'It takes all kinds to make a world'? That's true of all countries-including England." “Oh, just like the poem ‘If All the Seas Were One Sea’,”Gretel began to hum happily. If all the seas were one sea, what a great sea that would be! If all the trees were one tree, what a great tree that would be! And if this tree were to fall in the sea, w hat a great splash that would be!” Task 2
