听力原文： The human nose has given to the languages of the world many interesting expressions. Of course, this is not surprising. Without the nose, we could not breathe or smell. It is the part of the face that gives a person special character. For example, a large nose is said to indicate a great man—manly, courageous, courteous, and intellectual.

In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example, "to hold up one's nose" expresses a basic human feeling—pride. People can hold up their noses at people, things and places.

A person who is led around by the nose is one that lets other people control him. On the other hand, a person who follows his nose lets his instinct guide himself.

For the human emotion of frustration, the phrase "to have one's nose put out of joint" is very descriptive. The expression applies to people who have been turned aside because of a competitor. Their pride is hurt and they feel humiliated. This expression is not new. It was used by Erasmus in 1542.

This is only a sampling of expressions in English dealing with the nose. There are a number of others. However, it should be as plain as the nose on your face that the nose is more than an organ for breathing and smelling!

A brief history of the ICT industries reveals four main facets of development. First, in the telecom industry, China's rapid development has had a large impact on the world telecom industry. According to Ministry of Information Industry (MII) statistics for the first half of 2003, China has the world's largest telecom subscriber base, with nearly 500 million fixed-line and mobile subscribers. Overall telecom operator service revenue grew 14 percent to US$50 billion in 2002, with over 98 percent of this revenue accounted for by the four major state-owned operators.

In the cable TV industry, China has a rather unique history. Long considered part of the state propaganda apparatus, the State Administration of Radio, Film & Television (SARFT) has traditionally been responsible for both the production as well as the transmission of content. To de-politicize the business of video transmission. SARFT has been taking steps to separate the stations (i.e., content) from the net works in recent years.

In the computer/Internet industry. China has developed rapidly. Traditionally heavily focused on hardware, to the relative neglect of software, China's computer industry has been exposed to international competition for quite some time and has developed world-class domestic suppliers, in addition, China has over 50 million Internet users and Chinese is expected to become the most widely used language on the web within this decade.

Lastly, in the electronics manufacturing industry, China has in recent years emerged as a manufacturing base, as significant portions of the supply/assembly chain (most notably in computer and telecom equipment) have moved to the PRC. China's electronics sector is ranked first among all of China's industries in terms of foreign investment attracted, export volume, industrial value added, and contribution to GDP growth.

China's overall ICT industry can be viewed as growing very rapidly in many areas. Indeed, ICT constitutes a major area of China's overall growth. In the first quarter of 2003, China's overall industrial sector's industrial value-added grew by 17.2 percent year on year, compared to 10.9 percent growth a year earlier. Nearly one-third of that growth, or 5.8 points out of 17.2 percentage points of growth, came from two sectors: telecommunications and electronics.

China's rapid development in the telecom industry has played a/an ______ role on the w0orld telecom industry.

A．minor

B．important

C．secondary

AIDS is not transmitted through routine, nonintimate contact in the home or the workplace. Transmission from one person to another appears to require either intimate sexual contact or exchange of blood or body fluids (whether from contaminated hypodermic needles or syringes, transfusions of infected blood, or transmission from an infected mother to her child before or during birth).

As of April 1988, 98,000 cases of AIDS had been identified in the United States, and more than 21,000 persons had died of AIDS. Among those who died were well-known figures in the worlds of politics, the arts, entertainment, business, and sports. As has been well publicized, the high-risk groups most in danger of contracting AIDS are homosexual and bisexual men, intravenous (IV) drug users, and their sexual partners. Recently, there has been increasing evidence that AIDS is a particular danger for the urban poor, in good part because of transmission via IV drug use. Whereas blacks and Hispanics represent about 20 percent of the nation's population, they constitute 40 percent of all Americans with AIDS. Moreover, 91 percent of infants with AIDS are nonwhite.

According to government projections, the AIDS epidemic will achieve even more distressing proportions by the early 1990s. It is estimated that 54,000 to 64,000 Americans will die from AIDS in 1991. By that time, some 270,000 Americans will have AIDS and 1.5 million Americans will be infected with the HIV virus. Just as the number of AIDS cases will skyrocket by the 1990s, so too will the costs of the disease.

On the micro level of social interaction, it has been widely forecast that AIDS will lead to a more conservative sexual climate among both homosexuals and heterosexuals —in which people will be much more cautious about involvement with new partners. Yet, in a survey in early 1987, 92 percent of the respondents claimed that AIDS would have no impact on how they conduct their lives. In line with these data, a long-term study of the wives of hemophiliacs with AIDS revealed a common failure to practice "safer sex" by using condoms —a failure which increases the women's likelihood of contracting AIDS.

While some Americans may refuse to change their sexual behavior, there is little doubt that AIDS has created a climate of fear in the United States and elsewhere. The media have reported numerous stories of people acting out of terror of AIDS. In New Jersey, a 9-year-old boy whose sister had an AIDS-related complex went to school one-day, only to discover that more than half of the 2000 students at the school had been kept home simply because he would be there. Not surprisingly, a content analysis of 1986 periodicals and books by the World Future Society found AIDS to be people's fourth greatest fear —behind economic collapse, nuclear war, and environmental damage.

In this climate of fear, there has been increasing harassment of homosexual males. Gay rights leaders believe that the concept of homosexuals as "disease carriers" has contributed to violent incidents directed at persons known or suspected to be gay. Fears about AIDS have also led to growing discrimination within major social institutions of the United States. For example, people with AIDS have faced discrimination in employment, housing, and insurance.

Social interaction in the workplace has undoubtedly been affected both by the danger and the reality of AIDS. For example, Wells Fargo and Company allows employees with AIDS to continue on the job unless they have other communicable diseases. The company conducts briefing sessions in which coworkers are educated about AIDS and are reassured about their safety. Yet role conflict can arise as an employee is torn between loyalty to an infected friend or coworker and fear of contracting the disease and transmitting it to loved ones.

It can be concluded from the passage that ______.

A．all HIV carriers are doomed to die

B．only those who show clinical evidence of AIDS will pass on the virus

C．the number of AIDS cases will be reduced in the 1990s

D．IV drug users are a high-risk group vulnerable to AIDS infection
