问题 The first sentence "Like every dog, every disease now seems to have its day". means ______.
By referring to AIDS in Paragraph 2, the author intends to show ______.
选项 A、the US government is reluctant to spend millions of dollars for Tuberculosis.
B、the death rate of AIDS is higher,than that of Tuberculosis.
C、the officials did not pay much attention to the research of Tuberculosis in the past.
D、compared with AIDS, Tuberculosis can be cured effectively.
答案C
解析 第二段第五句：According to figures released...1.6 million people died of the disease in 2005，compared with about 3m for AIDS and 1m for malaria。But it receives only a fraction of the research budget devoted to AIDS．America’s National Institutes of Health...spends 20 times as much on AIDS as on TB. Nevertheless…本题考查了英文文章一种常见的举例形式：通过对比三种疾病的死亡人数(1.6m for TB，3m for AIDS and 1m for malaria)和政府投入的经费(it receives only a fraction of the research budget devoted to AIDS)，意在突出肺结核病的严重性，但政府缺少关注。同时，在选项C中提到in the past正符合作者意图，因为在后半句中有转折nevertheless...表明现在的情况。注意：此类型题是常考题，这种对比议论的英语思维模式要重点掌握。从文中可知政府不是不愿意花钱研究肺结核病，而是因为他们以前没有意识到其严重性。一旦意识到了，全社会都会关注此事，后文中提到的药商的例子正说明此问题。同时，根据此段末句中的转折连词nevertheless之后提到this year的情况知道这种现象已有所好转，故A错误。"艾滋病的死亡率比肺结核病的死亡率高"是针对此段第三句和第四句出题。文中说的是死于这三种疾病的人数，并非死亡率。注意：这是对概念的偷梁换柱，并且例子本身非答案，例子前后是考点。D中cured effectively指肺结核病比艾滋病更容易彻底治愈，这是一个生活常识，很多考生在没有仔细阅读文章的情况下会主观臆断。但此观点文中却未论述，而且也不是文章的主旨。
