I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He’s addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn’t the only one hurt by you that night.‎ ‎ Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. “I’m so embarrassed,” they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit. “I’m sorry,” they said when I called taxies for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. “This won’t happen again,” they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.‎ ‎ Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn’t realize her brother was in the midst of it all. She never saw him again. And it’s all your fault.‎ ‎ I wish you’d walk out of my life forever. I don’t want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you’ve caused. Sure, you’ve made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you’ve caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring（引诱）in the people I love.

As a result, long-acting drugs are the future direction in developing innovative AIDS medicine. For Chinese patients, the number of oral drugs available in the domestic market is very limited, so there is an urgent need for drugs to solve the problem of drug resistance.‎ ‎ Zhao Yan, a treatment specialist at the National Center for AIDS said seven or eight oral drugs for AIDS are currently provided to patients for free. “The injection solution could give an alternative to patients … if it could be included in the country’s health insurance system,” she said.‎ ‎ “Now very few patients are using drugs from the health insurance system, both because no differentiated drugs are provided and because the procedure is more complex and could harm their privacy,” she said. “New drugs will be broadly used only if the system can embrace more varieties of drugs.”‎ ‎ Albuvirtide went into the research and development stage in 2002 and entered phase three of clinical trials—a step to assure safety and effectiveness before market approval—in 2014. Phase three is the last round of clinical trials for new drug tests in China. If the drug can pass the reviews of the country’s drug watchdog, usually at least two rounds, it can then enter the market. The time needed for the review ranges from months to years.‎ ‎ Clinical trials showed that the new drug performs even better than the oral drugs being used. Most of the oral drugs for AIDS being used in China are generic drugs developed in the 1970s and ‘80s that are not so efficient. In terms of safety and effectiveness, evidence so far showed that Albuvirtide is better than most second-line drugs—drugs used when first-line standard drugs fail—in developed countries because of lower toxicity（毒性）and fewer side effects.‎ ‎ Worldwide, a number of long-acting AIDS drug are in development. None has been approved for sale. Only Albuvirtide and a few in the United States have entered phase three of clinical trials.‎ ‎63. Albuvirtide is ______.‎ ‎ A. a China-developed long-acting oral AIDS drug ‎ B. undergoing a clinical test on dogs to assure its safety ‎ C. more efficient than other AIDS drugs and has fewer side effects ‎ D. the only AIDS drug that has entered the last round of clinical trials ‎64. Albuvirtide is good news for AIDS patients in China because ______.‎ ‎ A. it’s a new drug and they are not resistant to it ‎ B. it is one of the most effective first-line drugs ‎ C. it has been included in the health insurance system ‎ D. they can keep their privacy by being injected once a week ‎65. Which of the following statements is FALSE?‎ ‎ A. The research and development of Albuvirtide began in 2002.‎ ‎ B. There are usually three phases in the clinical trial for a new drug.‎ ‎ C. Albuvirtide is now in the stage of carrying out clinical trials.‎ ‎ D. The time needed for review varies from drug to drug.‎ ‎66. We can infer from the passage that ______.‎ ‎ A. Albuvirtide can spare patients from taking oral drugs every day ‎ B. the health insurance system has room for further improvement ‎ C. most AIDS drugs being used now were developed in last century ‎ D. China is leading the whole world in the field of AIDS research Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.‎ A. In a list ranking countries by the happiness of their citizens, it pm tropical Fiji 50 places below freezing Iceland.‎ B. The street sweeper can hold his head up high as he proudly does his job.‎ C. Danish people aren’t as suspicious as many other nations.‎ D. Most Danes are used to seeing between 50-70% of their salary going to the government!‎ E. Those 5.5 million people who call Denmark their home.‎ F. People have nice things in their houses, but they’re not mad about shopping and spending.‎ ‎ Where do you think the world’s happiest people live? Somewhere hot with sandy beaches? A country with a tradition of the fine food and culture? Not according to a recent study by the university of Leicester. Who are the happiest people on Earth? ___67___ Surprised? Well you’ll be more surprised when you hear that the Danes pay some of the highest taxes in the world. So what is the secret of their success?‎ ‎ Let’s start with all that tax they pay. The Danish government provides its people ‎ with one of the finest education and health systems in the world. It spends more on children and elderly people per capital than other country.‎ ‎ And there’s another advantage to those high taxes. Because a shop assistant’s final salary is not that much less than someone who works in a bank, for example, Danes don’t choose their careers based on money or status as people in other countries do. They choose the job they want to do. There’s a philosophy in Denmark known as “Jante-lov”, which translates as “you’re no better than anybody else.” ___68___ But workers in order countries are not used to looking at life in this way. ‎ ‎ Money doesn’t seem as important in Denmark. It has been called a “post consumerist” society. ___69___ What is more important is the sense of society and it’s no surprise that Danes are very used to socializing. 92% of Danes belong to some kind of social club and these clubs are even paid for by the government.‎ ‎ ___70___ They also show an amazing amount of trust in each other and their government. You can see sighs of this all over the country. You’ll find vegetable stalls with no assistant. You take what you want and leave the money in a basket. perhaps the bike is a good symbol for Denmark. The Danes can afford cars but they choose bikes—simple, economical, non-polluting machines that show no status and help keep people fit.‎ IV. Summary Writing Directions: Read the following passage.

Somehow, the usual paper wasn’t special enough for these 64 perfect, sweet-smelling sticks of vivid color. I looked around for a bigger canvas（画布）. If only there were hidden walls. Walls like the ones in Mom and Dad’s closet.‎ ‎ Slipping quietly down the hall to the bedroom, I stood on tiptoe to reach the string for the closet light. Words and images filled my mind faster than my hands could make them.‎ ‎ A brilliant rainbow was seen on one wall, with a cheery golden sun peeking out from above. Below, a giant shade tree supported a swing for stick-figure children. Around them, flowers bloomed everywhere.‎ ‎ My masterpiece! All my very own magic! I look in the walls, the colors and the brightness. Joy swelled inside me. But as my creativity wound down, a thought popped up: I’ve got to show Mom! Suddenly I was still.‎ ‎ Mom called out, “Dinner’s ready.” After a short time, her footsteps approached, and then finally, the closet door opened. I stood nervously in the corner.‎ ‎ Mom breathed in sharply, then stood frozen. Only her eyes moved as she slowly looked over my masterpiece. She was quiet for a long, long time. I didn’t dare breathe.‎ ‎ Finally, she turned to me.‎ ‎ “I like it,” she said, “No, I love it! I feel I have a new closet!”‎ ‎ Now, 45 years later, my childhood artwork is still there. And in my own house, the closet walls are masterpieces, too, created by my own daughters when they were little girls.‎ ‎ Every time I open a closet door, I remember that, as big as that box of crayons and white walls seemed when I was little, my monther’s love was the biggest thing of all.‎ I.
