60、sed.”可知，临床试验表明，这种新药的性能甚至优于正在使用的口服药，再根据“In terms of safety and effectiveness, evidence so far showed that Albuvirtide is better than most second-line drugsdrugs used when first-line standard drugs failin developed countries because of lower toxicity (毒性) and fewer side effects.”可知，从安全性和有效性的角度来看，迄今为止的
61、证据表明，由于毒性较低和副作用少，发达国家的一线标准药物失败时，这种药优于大多数二线药物，也就是说这种药比其他艾滋病药物更有效，副作用更少，故C项正确。【40题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For Chinese patients, the number of oral drugs available in the domestic market is very limited, so there is an urgent need for drugs to solve the problem of drug resistance.”可知，对于中国患者来说，目前国内市场上可供口服的药物数量
62、非常有限，因此迫切需要药物来解决耐药问题，由此可知，这种新药对中国的艾滋病患者来说是个好消息是因为它解决了患者的抗药性问题，故A项正确。【41题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“is undergoing a final review by the China Food and Drug Administration, the last stage in the approval process.”可知，这种新药目前正在接受中国食品药品监督管理局的最后一次审查，这是审批过程的最后一个阶段，由此可知，这种药目前正处于临床试验阶段的说法是错误的，故C项正确。【42题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中的
63、“Now very few patients are using drugs from the health insurance system,”及“New drugs will be broadly used only if the system can embrace more varieties of drugs.”可知，现在很少有病人使用医疗保险系统的药物，只有医疗保险系统能够容纳更多种类的药物，新药才会得到广泛应用，由此可知，医疗保险制度还需要进一步完善，故B项正确。【点睛】推理判断题的难度在于根据文章已知信息进行合乎逻辑的推断，切不可凭借主观臆断，例如本篇第4题，根据第四段中的“N
64、ow very few patients are using drugs from the health insurance system,”及“New drugs will be broadly used only if the system can embrace more varieties of drugs.”可知，现在很少有病人使用医疗保险系统的药物，只有医疗保险系统能够容纳更多种类的药物，新药才会得到广泛应用，特别是“only if”表明医疗保险制度还需要进一步完善。Section CMore Clarity Needed on Wage DebateThese days, the

D 45. A 46. B【解析】【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章就“是否应该提高最低工资”阐述了截然不同的观点，有公司同意提高，有公司持中立态度。43题详解】根据后文“For supporters, 16.5 mill
72、ion low-wage workers could see an increase in their weekly earnings and 900.000 people could rise above the poverty line.（在支持者看来，1650万低收入工人的周收入可能增加，90万人可能超过贫困线。）”中的supporters（支持者）可推出，前文应该提到“反对者”。F项“对于反对增加工资的人来说，提高最低工资可能会减少大约500,000个工作岗位。”中提到了“opponents”（反对者），符合题意。前后逻辑合理，叙述一致。故选F项。【44题详解】前文“Gap Inc.
73、has decided to increase the minimum hourly rate it pays employees to $9 this year and then S10 next year.（Gap公司已经决定提高员工的最低时薪，今年提高到9美元，明年提高到10美元。）”及“Theres certainly nothing wrong with that.（这当然没什么错。）”提出了Gap（时装品牌）决定提高最低工资。而根据下文“Wal-Mart spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan said the company remains neutral on
74、the idea of a minimum wage increase.( 沃尔玛发言人布鲁克 布坎南说，公司对提高最低工资保持中立。)”可知，沃尔玛却保持中立态度。D项“但适合一家服装公司的方法可能不适用于其他公司。”承上启下，指出行业之间可能对待提高最低薪资的态度不同，符合题意。故选D项。【45题详解】前文“Also last week, Wal-Mart found itself at the center of the wages gossip when it was reported that the company was looking at supporting an incr
75、ease in the minimum wage.（也是在上周，当有报道称沃尔玛正在考虑支持提高最低工资时，沃尔玛成为了工资流言的中心。）”中提到，有报道称沃尔玛支持（supporting）提高最低工资。而下段“Wal-Mart spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan said the company remains neutral on the idea of a minimum wage increase.( 沃尔玛发言人Brooke Buchanan说，公司对提高最低工资保持中立。)”可知，沃尔玛却保持中立态度，也就是说报道是不真实的。A项“事实证明这并不完全正确。”符合
76、题意。故选A项。【46题详解】前文“So its reasonable to say that a company like Wal-Mart could see a jump in sales if the minimum wage rose.（因此，可以合理地说，如果最低工资上涨，像沃尔玛这样的公司的销售额可能会大幅增长。）”提到了最低工资上涨可能给沃尔玛这样的公司带来好处，而后文“That is assuming that consumer behavior would be. If they have more money, theyll spend more money. she s
77、aid.（“这是假设消费者有更多的钱的前提下，他们就会花更多的钱。”她说。）”可知，这种好处是基于“消费者有更多钱”的假设（assuming）下才能成立。B项“但是Buchanan警告不要这样假设。”中的assumption与后文语义一致，叙述相关，逻辑合理。故选B项。III.
