10、佳答案。Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. In March 2004,Joe Ryan got a notice from a billing agency for a hospital near Denver,Colorado. The hospital wanted payment for surgery totaling $41,188. Ryan had never set foot in that hospital. Obviously there was some mistake. “
11、I thought it was a joke,”says Ryan. But when he called the billing agency,nobody laughed. Someone,whos also named Joe Ryan,using Ryans Social Security number,had indeed been admitted for surgery. He figured clearing this up would take a just few phone calls. Two years later,Ryan continues to suffer
12、from the damage to his credit rating and still doesnt know if his medical record has been cleared of wrong information. Joe Ryan was the victim of a little-known but frightening type of consumer cheating that is on the rise:medical identity theft,which involves using your name to get drugs,expensive
13、 medical treatment and even cheating insurance payments. As Ryan discovered,money isnt the half of it. When someone steals your name to receive health care,his medical history becomes part of your record-and setting the record straight can be extremely difficult. Thats because,in part,the informatio
14、n is handed out among dozens of caregivers,from doctors to medicine stores to insurance companies and labs. “I wanted to help straighten this out,”says Ryan,“so I went to the hospital,and they had a three-inch-thick record for me,but they wouldnt let me see it. I showed them my ID,and they said that
15、s not Joe Ryans signature. Well,of course not!They had this other guys signature. ” Ryan had fallen into a victims Catch-22:If your record doesnt appear to be yours,you may not have the right to read it,much less change it. Ryans next step was a visit to the police department. But the police said th
16、at there was not much they could do,that the local law enforcement has little experience with medical ID theft,and cases like this can end up being considered a civil matter. (分数:10.00)(1).The billing agency sent Joe Ryan a notice to_.(分数:2.00)A.play a joke on him for medical treatmentB.inform him o
17、f the payment for his surgeryC.clear up the wrong information in his medical recordD.correct the mistakes about payment for his surgery(2).Joe Ryan initially thought his problem was_.(分数:2.00)A.easy to settleB.difficult to settleC.impossible to solveD.unnecessary to solve(3).The number of the medica
18、l identity theft cases is_.(分数:2.00)A.increasingB.decreasingC.countableD.changeable(4).An even worse consequence of medical ID theft is_.(分数:2.00)A.some trouble in obtaining insurance paymentsB.a big loss of money and damage to credit ratingC.the widely spread medical information of the victimD.the
19、difficulty in changing the wrong medical history(5).It can be known that the medical ID theft is_.(分数:2.00)A.a civil matterB.a medical caseC.a political issueD.a domestic eventPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. Rob Reiner,co-founder of Castle Rock Entertainment,was gre
20、adtly surprised when he saw his studios film Proof of Life. “Wow,why is Meg Ryan smoking up a storm?”Reiner says. “It didnt add to the plot. ”Fourteen months later,Castle Rock has a policy of discouraging tobacco use. Any actor,director or screenwriter who wants to depict it must first meet with Rei
21、ner. “They have to make a really good case. ”he says. “Movies are basically advertising cigarettes to kids. ”Movie characters light up more often than people do in real life,argues Stanton Glantz,a professor of medicine who has launched a“Smoke-Free Movies”newspaper ad campaign. His study found that
22、 on average the 20 top-grossing films featured 50%more instances of smoking an hour in 2000 than in 1960. And an American Lung Association survey discovered that 61%of the tobacco use in films last year occurred in movies rated G,PG and PG-13. With teen smoking up dramatically in the past decade,a m
23、ovement is building to hold Hollywood accountable. So Glantz says,“The entertainment industry is in denial. ” But its getting an education. Susan Moses,deputy director of Harvards Center for Health Communication,and Lindsay Doran,former head of United Artists,have been going from one studio to anoth
24、er. They hit the bosses with hard facts:a million teens a year become daily smokers,and a third of those will eventually die from tobacco-related illness. When Doran and Moses met with executives from Imagine Pictures,says Doran,“They said,Smoking is not in any of our scripts. But then they called t
25、he next day and said,We looked,and its everywhere. ”Karen Kehela,co-chairman of Imagine,recalls trying to take smoking out of one script after the meeting,“but the actor insisted on smoking,”she says. In fact,many movie stars cant leave their cigarettes in the dressing room. “Actors who smoke look f
26、or any reason to integrate it into their characters,”Reiner says. “You have directors who dont care about the social implications or are yielding to the actors. ” (分数:10.00)(1).Reiner was astonished at the film Proof of Life made in his studio because_.(分数:2.00)A.one of the characters smoked a lotB.
27、smoking added something to the plotC.smoking in the film resulted in a stormD.tobacco use was prohibited from films(2).Glantz found that the number of smoking scenes in hit movies were_higher than 40 years ago.(分数:2.00)A.20%B.50%C.61%D.80%(3).The word“it”in Line 4,Para. 1 refers to_.(分数:2.00)A.filmB
28、.plotC.smokingD.advertising(4).Executives from Imagine Pictures_.(分数:2.00)A.failed to tell actors about the seriousness of tobacco useB.should have informed actors of the bad effects of smokingC.didnt admit the existence of tobacco use scenes in their filmsD.didnt know there were smoking scenes in t
29、heir movies at first(5).In Reiners opinion,_should be held mainly responsible for smoking scenes in movies.(分数:2.00)A.bossesB.actorsC.directorsD.screenwritersPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. I met him on the Internet and we chatted for several months. Every time I
30、suggested we meet in person,he would come up with an excuse. I thought it was strange-but he told me that he had not gotten over the death of his wife and he was still grieving for her. I thought that he needed a friend and decided that I could be that friend. We sent cards, exchanged gifts,talked o
31、n the phone and I was sure that we would meet someday. I had spoken with his children so I was sure that what he told me was true. I could not wait for the day when we would meet. I was so looking forward to being able to reach out and touch him. To hug him,to hold him and feel his big strong arms a
32、round me. After almost two years of time,thousands of dollars on long distance phone calls,I was very frustrated at the endless stream of excuses as to why we could never seem to make a time to meet. Finally,contacted the website UWhoisHe. com/U and asked if they could check out the man who had take
33、n up so much of my heart,my energy and my life. I had enough information about him and felt that if I could confirm what he had been telling me-I could feel okay about these delays. I had hopes that I didnt want to dash if he was telling the truth. I believed I could wait a little while longer. Well
34、, I am glad that I decided to have him checked out-he was nothing he claimed to be. He was first and foremost a married man. He was not a man grieving for the loss of his wife. He was a man cheating on his wife,with me-and I found out later,with countless others on the“net”. He did not care that he
35、had hurt me in a very deep and pathetic way. He talked of spending his life together with me. He told my son that he wanted to make me happy. Basically,he just lied. He was such a good liar I did not see it coming. It was as if he had been able to worm his way into my heart-and he didnt care about t
36、he effect he had on my hopes and dreams. Each of us should look at the signs that are so clear if we are willing to see them. Do not let someone keep making excuse after excuse. If something feels wrong-likely it is. It is good to know the truth and be able to deal with it. Next time I will pay more
37、 attention. I may never be able to trust someone online again. (分数:10.00)(1).It can be inferred from Para. 4 that_.(分数:2.00)A.the man was a single person in realityB.the woman was the mans only girlfriendC.the man had too many girlfriends on the netD.the woman had countless online boyfriends(2).The
