问题 Greg Louganis:
These were the trials for the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea. Until this dive, I had been ahead. But now, something else was more significant than winning. I might have endangered other divers’ lives if I have spilled blood in the pool. For what I knew—that few others knew—was that I was HIV-positive. AIDS forced me to stop diving; I had to quit diving professionally after the Olympics.
Margaret Chan:
It is reported that almost three million people in developing countries are now receiving drugs for HIV. This is an increase of almost one million people from two thousand and six. Still, the hope was to reach three million by two thousand and five. But antiretroviral therapy, or ART, alone will not solve the problem. For every two persons we manage to provide them with ART, another five persons get infected. So again, we cannot underestimate the power of prevention.
Paula Green:
The disease robs the body of its natural defenses against infections. Almost seventy-five percent of people receiving HIV drugs are in Africa. The drugs help patients live longer without developing AIDS. An estimated nine million seven hundred thousand people in low and middle income countries were in need of HIV treatment last year. However, by the end of the year, just over thirty percent of them were getting it.
Raymond Chow:
Price reductions can be a main method to let more people with HIV, including more pregnant women, receive the drugs. Also, delivery systems should be redesigned to better serve individual countries and smaller health centers. And treatments should be simpler than in the past.
Wiiliam Wang:
Huge barriers still remain in dealing with the AIDS epidemic. Getting patients to stay on their therapy is difficult. There are still large numbers of people who do not get tested for HIV. And there are many others who get tested too late and die within months. What’s more, there is not enough joint treatment of HIV and the related infections that most often kill AIDS patients. And still another problem is the shortage of health care workers in the developing world.
Statements
[A] Some HIV-positive patients don’t cooperate with doctors.

[C] People are scared of AIDS.
[D] Treatment is more urgent than prevention.
[E] Many people can’t get HIV drugs because of poverty.
[F] More people get HTV treatment, but even more get infected.
[G] HIV drugs should be cheaper.

选项

答案E

解析推断题。保拉.格林说去年有970万中低收入国家的人需要得到艾滋病的治疗。但是到年底, 只有30％多的人得到治疗。可推断出, 由于贫穷, 许多人不能得到艾滋病的治疗。故选E。
