25、e patients a multivitamin with a mineral supplement (补充) helps to fight the disease and slows the diseases progression. Sub-Saharan Africa has always been the center of the AIDS. In Botswana, despite aggressive prevention campaigns, one out of every four adults is infected with HIV. Professor Marian

26、na Baum based her latest research there. Baum recruited almost 900 newly infected adults who had not yet received the anti-AIDS drugs that target the virus. These adults were then divided into groups that randomly received different combinations of vitamins B, C and E, the mineral selenium (硒) or a

27、placebo (安慰剂). Most patients with HIV become deficient in these vitamins, which help improve immunity (免疫). Baum said she initially thought the multivitamins alone or selenium alone would be effective in strengthening the immune system, but found that incorrect. “We were surprised to find that only

28、the combination was effective,” said Baum. Research shows that when people with HIV receive anti-retroviral drugs (抗逆转录病毒) shortly after infection, they can remain healthy and are less likely to pass the virus to others. For many countries, however, the cost of these anti-AIDS drugs is still prohibi

29、tive. Baum said the vitamin and mineral combination treatment should help low income countries better control the virus. “A simple multivitamin supplementation with selenium provided early in HIV disease can actually slow the HIV disease progression and it is safe. It is low cost and it should be pr

30、ovided very early in HIV infection,” said Baum. Baum said the supplements are not meant to replace anti-retroviral therapy, but can help those who cannot obtain the drugs. Dr. Anthony Fauci, a world famous expert on AIDS, disagrees. “I havent read the paper, but having taken care of HIV-infected ind

31、ividuals for three decades, I would doubt that vitamins are going to have a major effect on stopping the virus,” said Fauci. Fauci said vitamin and mineral supplements may make a patient generally healthier, but the only thing that truly works to stop HIV is anti-retroviral treatment. Baums study wa

32、s published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. 41. Where is the passage probably taken? A. a scientific report B. a newspaper C. a school textbook D. a science fiction 42. What can we learn form professor Baums study? A. It is vitamin deficiencies that may have caused people to deve

33、lop AIDS. B. More than one third people in Botswana are diagnosed with HIV disease. C. Professor Baum divided 900 HIV patients randomly into several groups. D. Only combination of vitamin and mineral could slow AIDS process 43. Which of the statements is possibly supported by Dr. Anthony Fauci? A. T

34、he finding is great news for low income patients. B. Vitamins will have a great impact on stopping HIV . C. Anti-retroviral treatment is effective to stop HIV. D. Vitamins should be used early in HIV infection. 44. The underlined word “prohibitive” in paragraph 7 is closest to _ in meaning? A. deadl

I brought cookies to the office one day and left some on his desk. Another day I left a note: ”Hope your day is going great. ” Over the next few weeks, there were

39、no more Jack episodes. One year later I discovered I had breast cancer, and was scared. The statistics were not great for my long-term survival.One day, however, Jack visited me in the hospital and silently handed me a bundle with several bulbs inside. “Tulips(郁金香),” he said. I smiled, not understan

40、ding. “If you plant them when you get home, theyll come up next spring. I think you will be there to see them when they come up.
