SECTION FOUR: READING COMPREHENSION
I. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each question.
Write your answers on the answer sheet. (10 pts) Two major avenues are being
pursued biomedical scientists in the fight against HIV infection and AIDS. One
strategy is to develop a vaccine that can induce neutralizing antibodies against
HIV and protect uninfected individuals exposed to virus. The second approach
involves the discovery and development of therapeutic agents against HIV
infection and AIDS. At present no vaccine exists to protect against infection but
the testing of a number of candidate vaccines in human volunteers has been taking
place since the early 1990s. Progress is also being made in the treatment of HIV
infection. The focus has been on two major areas: anti-viral drugs with a direct
effect against the causative agent and immunomodulators - substances that act to
reconstitute or enhance immune-system function. Efforts to develop and improve
treatments of specific opportunistic infections and tumors continue, and more new
drugs have been approved. However, unlike most known disease-producing
micro-organisms, HIV infects the very cells that are intended to lead the immune
system's attack against invaders. This makes it technically very hard to come up
with an anti HIV vaccine that will kill the virus without destroying the already
threatened immune system. In the final analysis, in the absence of an effective
vaccine or therapy, risk reduction remains the most powerful tool in the fight
against AIDS.
