參考答案：D E B F A
答案解析：
1.D 整個(gè)第二段都是有關(guān)比爾?蓋茨夫婦的。第一句說,比爾?蓋茨夫婦要求加快研究,研發(fā)一些能殺死微生物的預(yù)防制劑提供給婦女性交時(shí)使用。第三句以后則分別列出比爾?蓋茨夫婦所說的話。那么D項(xiàng)所說的"他們希望這些產(chǎn)品可以預(yù)防引起艾滋病的病毒感染"5E好與第一句相銜接,況且全篇文章還沒有第二個(gè)地方提到兩個(gè)人以上可以用代詞they來代替的,所以D項(xiàng)是正確答案。
2.E 本空白處的前面兩句話分別用間接引語(yǔ)和直接引語(yǔ)介紹比爾?蓋茨所說的話,選項(xiàng)E仍是介紹比爾?蓋茨講話的內(nèi)容,所以填在這里是恰當(dāng)?shù)�。本選項(xiàng)中所說的the world's richestman正是比爾?蓋茨,他是全球首富。
3.B 本段前兩句介紹的是美岡前總統(tǒng)比爾?克林頓的講話,選項(xiàng)B仍是克林頓講話的內(nèi)容,況且文章其他地方都沒有提到克林頓,因此填在這里是最恰當(dāng)?shù)摹?/P>
4.F 本空白處前面說到,做HIV檢驗(yàn)有兩種方法：新的快速方法只需大約20分鐘,而另一種常用的慢。速方法則需兩周。研究人員說,做慢速檢驗(yàn)的人中有25%沒有回來看檢驗(yàn)結(jié)果,而選項(xiàng)F則說"做快速檢驗(yàn)的人中不回來看結(jié)果的則只有25%",作為快慢速檢驗(yàn)方法的對(duì)比,填在此處是最恰當(dāng)不過的了。
5.A 本空白處前一句介紹了Julian Bond是重要的民權(quán)機(jī)構(gòu)NAACP的主席,而選項(xiàng)A說,"他說,非裔美國(guó)人‘應(yīng)該面對(duì)艾滋病已經(jīng)變成黑人病這個(gè)事實(shí)’。"文章中沒有第二個(gè)地方提到chairman這個(gè)詞,而選項(xiàng)A一開頭就提到The chairman said…,可見此處答案非它莫屬了。
