问题 What is the passage mainly about?
Which of the following can best explain "AIDS tests the institutions upon which our society rests" according to the passage?
选项 A、AIDS is a sign of moral failure and social collapse.
B、AIDS indicates that our social systems have been very inefficient.
C、The responses of a society to the threat of AIDS determines whether and to what extent the society can be called civilized.
D、The spreading of the fatal disease suggests that the nation’s resources have been wrongly used.
答案C
解析 本题要求理解个别句子的意义，也理解上下文之间的逻辑关系。题干中引号部分出现在原文第三段的第一句中，意思为：为了描述艾滋病如何考验我们的社会赖以存在的机构。文中后面的部分则说明这一句。此段第四句“Scholars have suggested that how a society deals with the threat of AIDS describes the extent to which that society has the fight to call it civilized．”意为：学者们提出，一个社会如何应付艾滋病的威胁表明该社会在何种程度上有权称为文明社会。根据常识，一个社会如何应付某一问题取决于社会机构如何应付它。那么，可以说第三段第四句解释了题干中引号内的内容。比较A、B、C、D四个选项，可知只有选项C与该句意思相同。故C为正确答案。
