參考答案：D E B F A
答案解析：
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。第三句以後則分別列出比爾?蓋茨夫婦所說的話。那麼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,所以填在這裡是恰當的。本選項中所說的the world's 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,因此填在這裡是最恰當的。
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。速方法則需兩週。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。
