Better Control of TB Seen If a Faster Cure Is Found
The World Health Organization estimates that about one-third of all people are infected with bacteria that cause tuberculosis（结核病）.Most times , the infection remains inactive（不活跃
的）.But each year about eight million people develop active cases of TB,usually in their lungs. Two million people die of it.The disease has increased with the spread of AIDS and drug-resist-ant forms of tuberculosis.
Current treatments take at least six months.Patients have to take a combination of several antibiotic（抗生素）drugs daily. But many people stop as soon as they feel better. Doing that can lead to an infection（传染病）that resists treatment. Public health experts agree that a faster-act-ing cure for tuberculosis would be more effective.Now a study estimates just how effective it might be .A professor of international health at Harvard University led the study.Joshua Salomon says a shorter treatment program would likely mean not just more patients cured.It would also mean fe- wer infectious patients who can pass on their infection to others.
The researchers developed a mathematical（数学的）model to examine the effects of a two-month treatment plan.They tested the model with current TB conditions in Southeast Asia.The scientists found that a two-month treatment could prevent about twenty percent of new cases.And it might prevent about twenty-five percent of TB deaths.The model shows that these reductions would take place between two thousand twelve and two thousand thirty.That is,if a faster cure is developed and in wide use by two thousand twelve.
The World Health Organization developed the DOTS program in nineteen ninety.DOTS（短期直接观察治疗）is Directly Observed Treatment, Short-course. Health workers watch tubercu- losis patients take their daily pills to make sure they continue treatment.
Earlier this year,an international partnership of organizations announced a plan to expand the DOTS program.The ten-year plan also aims to finance research into new TB drugs.The four most common drugs used now are more than forty years old.The Global Alliance for TB Drug De- velopment（全球结核病药物开发联盟）says its long-term goal is a treatment that could work in as few as ten doses.
The long-term goal of the Global Alliance for TB Drug Development is a treatment that could work______.
A: in half a year
B: in two months
C: in ten doses
D:in ten days
答案：C
解析：
根据文章首段“The World Health Organization estimates that about one-third of all peo-ple are infected with bacteria that cause tuberculosis（结核病）…each year about eight mu- lion people develop active cases of TB… Two million people die of it.”可知，大约有三分之一的人会感染上结核病细菌，每年约有800万人在肺部转变为活性细菌，大约有二百万人死于结核病。故选C。
由第三段的最后两句“The model shows that these reductions would take place between 2020 and 2030. That is, if a faster cure is developed and in wide use by 2020”可知，一种又快又广的治疗方法大约在2020年至2030年，最快也得在2020年。故选B。
由最后一段“The four most common drugs used now are more than forty years old”可知，现在最常用的四种治疗结核病的药已有四十多年的历史了。所以要加大投资金额用于研发新药品。
根据题干，我们可以直接定位到第二段。由首句“Current treatments take at least six months”可知目前的治疗肺结核的疗程至少是六个月，故A项正确；根据Joshua Salomon 所说的话可知疗程较短的计划可能意味着更多病人被治好，也意味着将感染传递给别人的病人也会更少，故B、C两项正确。由“But many people stop as soon as they feel bet-ter. Doing that can lead to an infection（传染病）that resists treatment.”可知，结核病患者不能感觉好一点就停止吃药，这样容易发展成抗药性的传染性肺结核。故选D。
由文章最后一句话“The Global Alliance for TB Drug Development（全球结核病药物开发联盟）says its long-term goal is a treatment that could work in as few as ten doses.”可知全球结核病药物开发联盟的目标是研制出一种最好是喝10剂就能治愈结核的药物。 dose剂量，药量；一服（药），一剂（药）。故选C。

Forecasting Methods
There are several different methods that can be used to create a forecast. The method a forecaster chooses
depends upon the experience of the forecaster,the amount of information available to the forecaster,the level of
difficulty that the forecast situation presents,and the degree of accuracy or confidence needed in the forecast.
The first of these methods is the persistence method,the simplest way of producing a forecast.The per-
sistence method assumes that the conditions at the time of the forecast will not change.For example,if it is
sunny and 87 degrees today,the persistence method predicts that it will be sunny and 87 degrees tomorrow.
If two inches of rain fell today,the persistence method would predict two inches of rain for tomorrow.
However,if weather conditions change significantly from day to day,the persistence method usually breaks
down and is not the best forecasting method to use.
The trends method involves determining the speed and direction of movement for fronts,high and low
pressure centers , and areas of clouds and precipitation（降水量）.Using this information , the forecaster can
predict where he or she expects those features to be at some future time.For example,if a storm system is
1,000 miles west of your location and moving to the east at 250 miles per day,using the trends method you
would predict it arrive in your area in 4 days.The trends method works well when systems continue to move
at the same speed in the same direction for a long period of time.If they slow down,speed up,change intensi-
ty,or change directions,the trends forecast will probably not work as well.
The climatology（气候学）method is another simple way of producing a forecast. This method involves
averaging weather statistics accumulated over many years to make the forecast.For example,if you were using
the climatology method to predict the weather for New York City on July 4th,you would go through all the
weather data that has been recorded for every July 4th and take an average.The climatology method oniy
works well when the weather pattern is similar to that expected for the chosen time of year. If the pattern is
quite unusual for the given time of year,the climatology method will often fail.
The analog method is a slightly more complicated method of producing a forecast.It involves examining
today's forecast scenario（模式）and remembering a day in the past when the weather scenario looked very
similar(an analog).The forecaster would predict that the weather in this forecast will behave the same as ii
did in the past.The analog method is difficult to use because it is virtually impossible to find a predict ana-
log.Various weather features rarely align themselves in the same locations as they were in the previous time.
Even small differences between the current time and the analog can lead to very different results.
Which of the following factors is NOT mentioned in choosing a forecasting method?
A:Necessary amount of information.
B:Degree of difficulty involved in forecasting.
C:Practical knowledge of the forecaster.
D: Creativity of the forecaster.
答案：D
