问题 What is the percentage of all the adults who are now HIV-positive in Botswana?
The people of Botswana, which has the highest rate of HIV infection in the world, have been given a stark warning by their President, Festus Mogae, that they must abstain from unsafe sex or die. President Mogae said in a BBC interview, timed to coincide with World Aids Day, that overseas funding of drugs to combat HIV would eventually end. From Southern Africa Martin Plaut reports: 35,000 people are now on anti-retrovirals and the number is rising. But the foreign funding will not go on indefinitely.And President Festus Mogae warns that Botswana’s economy will not be able to afford the drugs needed to keep a rising number of patients alive and well. "It’s not sustainable in the long term unless something happens to the infection rates. We have to say, maybe things like, abstain or die." It’s seldom the politicians speak their mind quite as plainly as President Mogae.But with a staggering 37% of all adults now HIV-positive and no sign of the epidemic peaking, he doesn’t mince his words.

选项 A、35%.
B、37%.
C、36%.
D、38%.

答案 B

解析 数字细节题。文中提到:现在在博茨瓦纳成年人中HIV呈阳性的人数达到令人震惊的37%。故选项B正确。这是本则新闻中唯一表示百分比的数字,因此只需正确辨音就能作答。
