練習：
A The chairman said African-Americans must， in his words， “face the fact that AIDS has become a black disease.”
B Mr. Clinton said people also need a guarantee they would get medicine to suppress the virus.
C Delegates at the conference have worked out an action plan to fight the wide spread of this terrible disease all over the world.
D They hoped that such products could protect against infection with the virus that causes AIDS.

F But that was true of only two percent of those who had the quick test.
答案與題解：
1．D 整個第二段都是有關比爾·蓋茨夫婦的。第一句說，比爾·蓋茨夫婦要求加快研究，研發一些能殺死微生物的預防制劑提供給婦女性交時使用。第三句以后則分別列出比爾·蓋茨夫婦所說的話。那么D項所說的“他們希望這些產品可以預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地方提到兩個人以上可以用代詞they來代替的，所以D項是正確答案。
2．E 本空白處的前面兩句話分別用間接引語和直接引語介紹比爾·蓋茨所說的話，選項E仍是介紹比爾·蓋茨講話的內容，所以填在這里是恰當的。本選項中所說的the worlds 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比爾·克林頓的講話，選項B仍是克林頓講話的內容，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的。
4．F 本空白處前面說到，做HIV檢驗有兩種方法：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，做慢速檢驗的人中有25%沒有回來看檢驗結果，而選項F則說“做快速檢驗的人中不回來看結果的則只有25%”，作為快慢速檢驗方法的對比，填在此處是最恰當不過的了。
5．A 本空白處前一句介紹了Julian Bond是重要的民權機構NAACP的主席，而選項A說，“他說，非裔美國人‘應該面對艾滋病已經變成黑人病這個事實’。”文章中沒有第二個地方提到chairman這個詞，而選項A一開頭就提到The chairman said…，可見此處答案非它莫屬了。
