Lacking a cure for AIDS, society must offer education, not only by public pronouncement but in classrooms. Those with AIDS or those at high risk of AIDS suffer prejudice; they are feared by some people who find living itself unsafe, while others conduct themselves with a "bravado (冒险心理)" that could be fatal. AIDS has afflicted a society already short on humanism, open handedness and optimism. Attempts to strike it out with the offending microbe are not abetted(教唆)by preexisting social ills. Such concerns impelled me to offer the first university-level undergraduate AIDS course, with its two important aims:
To address the fact that AIDS is caused by a virus, not by moral failure or societal collapse. The proper response to AIDS is compassion coupled with an understanding of the disease itself. We wanted to foster (help the growth of) the idea of a humane society.
To describe how AIDS tests the institutions upon which our society rests. The economy, the political system, science, the legal establishment, the media and our moral ethical philosophical attitudes must respond to the disease. Those responses, whispered, or shrieked, easily accepted or highly controversial, must be put in order if the nation is to manage AIDS. 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 itself civilized. AIDS, then, is woven into the tapestry(挂毯) of modem society; in the course of explaining that tapestry, a teacher realizes that AIDS may bring about changes of historic proportions. Democracy obliges its educational system to prepare students to become informed citizens, to join their voices to the public debate inspired by AIDS. Who shall direct just what resources of manpower and money to the problem of AIDS? Even more basic, who shall formulate a national policy on AIDS? The educational challenge, then, is to enlighten(启发) the individual and the societal, or public, responses to AIDS.
选项
A、Why education must be offered about AIDS.
B、How to achieve the aims of AIDS courses.
C、Risks associeted with AIDS.
D、Social responses to AIDS.
答案
A
解析
本题要求掌握文章的大意。解答此题与确定中心思想的方法基本一致。读完全文以后,再将每小段的首尾句都放在一起看,基本上可确定文章的话题与要旨。若每段首尾句主干放在一起,我们可以发现文章的要点构成的框架:…… society must offer education…(第一段首句)Such concerns impelled me to offer the first university-level undergraduate AIDS course,with its two important aims…(第一段尾句)To address the fact that AIDS is caused by a virus…(第二段首句)…We wanted to foster the idea of a humane society.(第二段尾句)To describe how AIDS tests the institutions upon which our society rests.(第三段首句)The educational challenge,then,is to enlighten the individual and the societal,or public,responses to AIDS.(第三段尾句)教育为什么要开设关于艾滋病的课程。故正确答案为A。
