问题 What is the passage mainly about?
Which of the following can best explain "AIDS tests the institutions upon which our society rests" according to the passage?

选项 A、AIDS is a sign of moral failure and social collapse.
B、AIDS indicates that our social systems have been vey inefficient.
C、The responses of a society to the threat of AIDS determines whether and to what extent the society can be called civilized.
D、The spreading of the fatal disease suggests that the nation’s resources have been wrongly used.

答案C

解析 题干中引号部分出现在原文第三小段的第一句中。读者得先明白此句的意思:为了描述AIDS如何考验我们的社会赖以生存的基本机构。文中后面的部分则说明这一句。此小段第四句(Scholars have suggested that how a society deals with the threat of AIDS describes the extent to which that society has the right to call it civilized.)意为:学者们提出,一个社会如何应付艾滋病的威胁表明该社会在何种程度上有权称为文明社会。有常识的读者都知道,一个社会如何应付某一问题取决于社会的基本部分或机构如何应付它。比较A、B、C、D,可知C最符合。
