New Horizon College English TestBand OneI. Reading Comprehension Directions: Read the following passage(s) carefully and do the multiple-choice questions. (50 points) Text 1 The AIDS virus is carried in a person's body fluids (体液). The virus can be passed during sex with an infected partner or by sharing instruments used to take intravenous (静脉注射的) drugs. It also can be passed in blood or fluids made from blood or from a pregnant (怀孕的 ) woman with AIDS to her developing baby.Many stories about the spread of AIDS are false. You cannot get AIDS by working or attending school with someone who has the disease. You cannot get it by drinking glasses or other objects used by such persons. Officials say no one has caught AIDS by living with, caring for or touching an AIDS patient.There are several warning signs of being infected with AIDS. They include always feeling tired, unexplained (无法解释的 ) weight loss and uncontrolled expulsion (排泄) of body wastes. Other warning signs are the appearance of white areas on the mouth, dark red areas of skin that do not go away and a higher than normal body temperature.However, just because you have one or more of these conditions does not mean you have AIDS. Always go to a doctor or health center for a complete examination. The doctor may give you an AIDS blood test.When a virus enters the body, the body's defenses against disease produce antibodies (抗体) to fight the virus. The test shows if the body has produced antibodies to the AIDS virus. Results of the test are known after a few hours. The test tells only if your body has produced AIDS antibodies. It cannot tell if you have AIDS or if you will ever get the disease. In December (1988), the United States government approved (批准) a simpler and faster AIDS blood test. The newer test can confirm (证实) the presence (出现) of the AIDS antibodies in about five minutes. 11.

A few minutes before six o'clock, the Lestarquits decided to leave. They said goodbye to their daughter, walked to their car, and got in. They expected a quiet, peaceful ride home. The ride, however, was anything but quiet and peaceful.Mr. Lestarquit was about to start the car when a man with a gun jumped up from the back seat. He held a gun to Mr. Lestarquit's head. "Drive me to Paris!" he demanded."All right," Mr. Lestarquit replied. "I'll drive you anywhere you want to go. But first let my wife out of the car."The man agreed to let Mrs. Lestarquit go. After she was safely out of the car, Mr. Lestarquit started the motor, and drove down the street. He was driving slowly, but his mind was racing. Unarmed and 81 years old, he knew he could not fight the man. He knew he needed help. Where were the police? As he drove along, he looked up and down the side streets, hoping to see a police car. There was none in sight. "Just my luck," he thought. "If I were speeding, there would be a police car on every corner."Suddenly Mr. Lestarquit realized how he could attract the attention of the police. He pushed his foot down on the accelerator （加速器） of his car, and the car sped forward. "What are you doing?" shouted the man. "Running away from the police," Mr. Lestarquit lied. "I thought I saw a police car back there."Mr. Lestarquit began driving like a madman. He drove 60 miles an hour on side streets, ran red lights, and drove the wrong way on one-way streets. On two-way streets he drove on the wrong side of the road. Not one police officer saw him.Obviously, Mr. Lestarquit's plan was not working. He needed a new plan. But what? Suddenly he remembered that the Lille police station was only a few blocks away. "All right," he thought. "If I can't bring the police to my car, I'll bring my car to the police."Then he pushed the accelerator to the floor. The car 。
