第5题【单选题】Crippling health care bills, long emergency-room waits and the inability to find a primary care physician just scratch the surface of the problems that patients face daily.Primary care should be the backbone of anyhealth care system. Countries with appropriate primary care resources score highly when it comes to health outcomes and cost. The US takes the opposite approach by emphasizing the specialist rather than the primary care physician.A recent study analyzed the providers who treat Medicare beneficiaries . The startling finding was that the average Medicare patient saw a total of seven doctors—two primary care physicians and five specialists—in a given year. Contrary to popular belief, the more physicians taking care of you doesn’t guarantee better care. Actually, increasing fragmentation of care results in a corresponding rise in cost and medical errors.The author’s chief concern about the current US health care system is ________.A、the inadequate training of physiciansB、the declining number of doctorsC、the shrinking primary care resourcesD、the ever-rising health care costs【正确答案】C【答案解析】答案选C。

house-wide hunts for glasses and car keys were the groceries left behind on the counter, notices of bills left unpaid. Soon my parents couldn’t remember names of friends, then of their grandchildren.
It wasn’t the happiest marriage, but as their 60th anniversary approached, my sister and I decided to throw a party. We’d provide the cake, the balloons, the toasts, and they’d abide by one rule: no fighting. We had a wonderful day. In hindsight it was an important celebration, because soon after, things began to change for my parents. As Alzheimer's disease settled in, their marriage was about the only thing they wouldn’t lose. It began when their memories started to fade. Added to the frequent

Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconceptions when we read, that would be an admirable beginning. Do not dictate to your author; try to become him. Be his fellow-worker and accomplice. If you hang back, and reserve and criticize at first, you are preventing yourself from getting the fullest possible value from what you read.正确答案：毋庸讳言，既然书籍分门别类，有小说、传记、诗歌等，我们就应该区别对待，并从各类书中汲取不同的营养。

If the things to be found are actually new, they are by definition unknown in advance. You cannot make choice in this matter. You either have science or you don't, and if you have it you are obliged to accept the surprising and disturbing pieces of information, along with the neat and promptly useful bits.The only solid piece of scientific truth about which I feel totally confident is that we are profoundly ignorant about nature. Indeed, I regard this as the major discovery of thepast hundred years of biology. It is, in its way, an illuminating piece of news. It would have amazed the brightest minds of the 18th century Enlightenment to be told by any of us how little we know and how bewildering seems the way ahead. It is this sudden confrontation with the depth and scope of ignorance that represents the most significant contribution of 20th century science to the human intellect. In earlier times, we either pretended to understand how things worked or ignored the problem, or simply made up stories to fill the gaps. Now that we have begun exploring in earnest, we are getting glimpses of how huge the questions are, and how far from being answered. Because of this, we are depressed. It is not so bad being ignorant if you are totally ignorant; the hard thing is knowing in some detail the reality of ignorance, the worst spots and here and there the not-so-bad spots, but no true light at the end of the tunnel nor even any tunnels that can yet be trusted.But we are making a beginning, and there ought to be some satisfaction. There are probably no questions we can think up that can't be answered, sooner or later, including even the matter of consciousness. To be sure, there may well be questions we can't think up, ever, and therefore limits to the reach of human intellect, but that is another matter. Within our limits we should be able to work our way through to all our answers, if we keep at it long enough, and pay attention.31 According to the author, really good science______.（A）would surprise the brightest minds of the 18th century Enlightenment（B）will help people to make the right choice in advance（C）will produce results which cannot be foreseen（D）will bring about disturbing results32 It can be inferred from the passage that scientists of the 18th century______.（A）knew that they were ignorant and wanted to know more about nature（B）were afraid of facing up to the realities of scientific research（C）did more harm than good in promoting man's understanding of nature（D）thought that they knew a great deal and could solve most problems of science33 Which of the following is NOT mentioned about scientists in earlier times?（A）They invented false theories to explain things they didn't understand.（B）They falsely claimed to know all about nature.（C）They did not believe in results from scientific observation.（D）They paid little attention to the problems they didn't understand.34 What is the author's attitude towards science?（A）He is doubtful because of enormous difficulties in scientific research.（B）He is confident though he is aware of the enormous difficulties in scientific research.（C）He is depressed because of the ignorance of scientists.（D）He is delighted because of the illuminating scientific findings.34 The historian Frederick J. Turner wrote in the 1890's that the agrarian discontent that had been developing steadily in the United States since about 1870 had been precipitated by the closing of the internal frontier — that is, the depletion of available new land needed for further expansion of the American farming system. Not only was Turner's thesis influential at the time, it was later adopted and elaborated by other scholars, such as John D. Hicks in The Populist Revolt (1931).Actually, however, new lands were taken up for farming in the United States throughout and beyond the nineteenth century. In the 1890's, when agrarian discontent had become most acute, 1, 100,000 new farms were settled, which was 500, 000 more than had been settled during the previous decade. After 1890, under the terms of the Homestead Act and its successors, more new land was taken up for farming than had been taken up for this purpose in the United States up until that time. It is true that a high proportion of the newly farmed land was suitable only for grazing and dry farming, but agricultural practices had become sufficiently advanced to make it possible to increase the profitability of farming by utilizing even these relatively barren lands.The emphasis given by both scholars and statesmen to the presumed disappearance of the American frontier helped to obscure the great importance of changes in the conditions and consequences of international trade that occurred during the second half of the nineteenth century.In 1869 the Suez Canal was opened and the first transcontinental railroad in the United States was completed. An extensive network of telegraph and telephone communications was spun: Europe was connected by submarine cable with the United States in 1866 and with South America in 1874. By about 1870 improvements in agricultural technology made possible the full exploitation of areas that were most suitable for extensive farming on a mechanized basis. Huge tracts of land were being settled and farmed in Argentina, Australia, Canada, and in the American West, and these areas were joined with one another and with the countries of Europe into an interdependent market system. As a consequence, agrarian depressions no longer were local or national in scope, and they struck several nations whose internal frontiers had not vanished or were not about to vanish.Between the early 1870's and the 1890's, the mounting agrarian discontent in America paralleled the almost uninterrupted decline in the prices of American agricultural products on foreign markets. Those staple-growing farmers in the United States who exhibited the greatest discontent were those who had become most dependent on foreign markets for the sale of their products. Insofar as Americans had been deterred from taking up new land for farming, it was because market conditions had made this period a perilous time in which to do so.35 The author is primarily concerned with______.（A）showing that a certain interpretation is better supported by the evidence than is an alternative explanation（B）developing an alternative interpretation by using sources of evidence that formerly had been unavailable（C）questioning the accuracy of the evidence that most scholars have used to counter the author's own interpretation（D）reviewing the evidence that formerly had been thought to obscure a valid interpretation36 According to the author, changes in the conditions of international trade resulted in an______.（A）underestimation of the amount of new land that was being farmed in the United States（B）underutilization of relatively small but rich plots of land（C）overexpansion of the world transportation network for shipping agricultural products（D）extension of agrarian depressions beyond national boundaries37 According to the passage, which of the following occurred prior to 1890?（A）Frederick J. Turner's thesis regarding the American frontier became influential.（B）The Homestead Act led to an increase in the amount of newly farmed land in the United States.（C）Technological advances made it fruitful to farm extensively on a mechanized basis.（D）Direct lines of communication were constructed between the United States and South America.38 The author implies that the cause of the agrarian discontent was______.（A）masked by the vagueness of the official records on newly settled farms（B）overshadowed by disputes on the reliability of the existing historical evidence （C）misidentified as a result of influential but erroneous theorizing（D）overlooked because of a preoccupation with market conditions38 "Masterpieces are dumb," wrote Flaubert, "They have a tranquil aspect like the very products of nature, like large animals and mountains." He might have been thinking of War and Peace, that vast, silent work, unfathomable and simple, provoking endless questions through the majesty of its being. Tolstoi's simplicity is "overpowering," says the critic Bayley, "disconcerting," because it comes from "his casual assumption that theworld is as he sees it. " Like other nineteenth-century Russian writers he is "impressive" because he "means what he says," but he stands apart from all others and from most Western writers in his identity with life, which is so complete as to make us forget he is an artist. He is the center of his work, but his egocentricity is of a special kind. Goethe, for example, says Bayley, "cared for nothing but himself. Tolstoi was nothing but himself. "For all his varied modes of writing and the multiplicity of characters in his fiction, Tolstoi and his work are of a piece. The famous "conversion" of his middle years, movingly recounted in his Confession, was a culmination of his early spiritual life, not a departure from it. The apparently fundamental changes that led from epic narrative to dogmatic parable, from a joyous, buoyant attitude toward life to pessimism and cynicism, from War and Peace to The Kreutzer Sonata, came from the same restless, impressionable depths of an independent spirit yearning to get at the truth of its experience. "Truth is my hero," wrote Tolstoi in his youth, reporting the fighting in Sebastopol. Truth remained his hero — his own, not others', truth. Others were awed by Napoleon, believed that a single man could change the destinies of nations, adhered to meaningless rituals, formed their tastes on established canons of art. Tolstoi reversed all preconceptions; and in every reversal he overthrew the "system," the "machine," the externally ordained belief, the conventional behavior in favor of unsystematic, impulsive life, of inward motivation and the solutions of independent thought.In his work the artificial and the genuine are always exhibited in dramatic opposition: the supposedly great Napoleon and the truly great, ignored little Captain Tushin, or Nicholas Rostov's actual experience in battle and his later account of it. The simple is always pitted against the elaborate, knowledge gained from observation against assertions of borrowed faiths. Tolstoi's magical simplicity is a product of these tensions; his work is a record of the questions he put to himself and of the answers he found in his search. The greatest characters of his fiction exemplify this search, and their happiness depends on the measure of their answers. Tolstoi wanted happiness, but only hard-won happiness, that emotional fulfillment and intellectual clarity which could come only as the prize of all-consuming effort. He scorned lesser satisfactions.39 Which of the following best characterizes the author's attitude toward Tolstoi?（A）She deprecates the cynicism of his later works.（B）She finds his theatricality artificial.（C）She admires his wholehearted sincerity.（D）She thinks his inconsistency disturbing.40 The author states that Tolstoi's conversion represented______.（A）a radical renunciation of the world（B）the natural outcome of his earlier beliefs（C）the rejection of avant-garde ideas（D）the acceptance of religion he had earlier rejected41 According to the passage, Tolstoi's response to the accepted intellectual and artistic values of his times was to______.（A）select the most valid from among them（B）combine opposing viewpoints into a new doctrine（C）reject the claims of religion in order to serve his art（D）upset them in order to be faithful to his experience42 It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following is true of War and Peace?（A）It belongs to an early period of Tolstoi's work.（B）It incorporates a polemic against the disorderliness of Russian life.（C）It has a simple structural outline.（D）It is a work that reflects an ironic view of life.42 New and bizarre crimes have come into being with the advent of computer technology. Organized crime has been directly involved; the new technology offers it unlimited opportunities, such as data crimes, theft of services, property-related crimes,industrial sabotage, politically related sabotage, vandalism, crimes against the individual and financially related crime.Theft of data, or data crime, has attracted the interest of organized criminal syndicates. This is usually the theft or copying of valuable computer program. An international market already exists for computerized data, and specialized fences are said to be playing a key role in this rapidly expanding criminal market. Buyers for stolen programs may range from a firm's competitors to foreign nations.A competitor sabotages a company's computer system to destroy or cripple the firm's operational ability, thus neutralizing its competitive capability either in the private or the government sector. This computer sabotage may also be tied to an attempt by affluent investors to acquire the victim firm. With the growing reliance by firms on computers for their recordkeeping and daily operations, sabotage of their computers can result in internal havoc, after which the group interested in acquiring the firm can easily buy it at a substantially lower price. Criminal groups could also resort to sabotage if the company is a competitor of a business owned or controlled by organized crime.Politically motivated sabotage is on the increase; political extremist groups have sprouted on every continent. Sophisticated computer technology arms these groups with awesome powers and opens technologically advanced nations to their attack. Several attempts have already been made to destroy computer facility at an air force base. A university computer facility involved in national defence work suffered more than $ 2 million in damages as a result of a bombing.Computer vulnerability has been amply documented. One congressional study concluded that neither government nor private computer systems are adequately protected against sabotage. Organized criminal syndicates have shown their willingness to work with politically motivated groups. Investigators have uncovered evidence of cooperation between criminal groups and foreign governments in narcotics. Criminal groups have taken attempts in assassinating political leaders. Computers are used in hospital life-support system, in laboratories, and in major surgery. Criminals could easily turn these computers into tools of devastation. By sabotaging the computer of a life-support system, criminals could kill an individual as easily as they had used a gun. By manipulating a computer, they could guide awesome tools of terror against large urban centers. Cities and nations could become hostages. Homicide could take a new form. The computer may become the hit man of the twentieth century.The computer opens vast areas of crime to organized criminal groups, both national and international. It calls on them to pool their resources and increase their cooperative efforts, because many of these crimes are too complex for one group to handle, especially those requiting a vast network of fences. Although criminals have adapted to computer technology, law enforcement has not. Many still think in terms of traditional criminology.43 What is the purpose of a competitor to sabotage a company's computer?44 What can be labeled as a politically motivated sabotage of a computer system?45 What does the author mean by "Homicide could take a new form"?46 What would be the most appropriate title for the passage?三、Writing47 Directions: The use of the mother tongue in EFL (English as Foreign Language) classes had always been discussed controversially. Some researchers support the idea of its inclusion while some others do not Some even claim that the use of translation can become a helpful EFL learning practice technique. It has been argued that the Grammar-translation Approach has over the years had a remarkable success. Millions of people have successfully learnt foreign languages to a high degree of proficiency and, in numerous cases, without any contact whatsoever with native speakers of the language, as was the case in China in the 1970s and 80s. Furthermore, certain types of learner respond very positively to a grammatical syllabus as it can give them both a set of clear objectives and a clear sense of achievement Above all, this approach can give learners a basic foundation upon which they can then build their communicative skills.However, it has been felt that translation itself is an academic exercise rather than one which would actually help learners to use language, and an overt focus on grammar is to learn ABOUT the target language rather than to learn it Critics point out that this method typically creates a teacher-centric classroom, with no opportunity for speaking practice, and that learning tedious grammar rules and long lists of vocabulary does not prepare students to communicate in real-world situations.What do you think of the claim that the grammar-translation method can be used as a supplement to a more communicative approach? Write a composition of about 400 words to join the discussion expressing your own opinions on this topic You should use your own ideas, knowledge or experience to generate support for your argument Write your answer on the answer sheet (30 points)Note: In the first part of your writing you should state clearly the thesis statement (i. e. , your main argument) , and in the second part you should support your argument with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary. Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.。

B．不同的国家的人对送礼的态度各不相同。
C．国与国之问人们对送礼物的看法不尽相同。
D．各国人们送礼的做法都在变化。
【答案】C【解析】本题的翻译要点是对“attitude”和“vary”这两短语意思的理解。
