21、g (总题数：5，分数：30.00)BPassage One/BThe heart bypass (心脏搭桥术)has become part of our cultural life. It has come to seem like a ceremony of passage for the successful male, a red symbol of courage in midlife. Six hundred thousand bypass operations are performed a year in the United States. After a bypass,
22、most heart patients experience significant relief from the peculiar discomfort in the chest caused by insufficient blood to the heart muscle. In some cases the surgery can dramatically extend life. American heart patients, who now number about 12 million, are enthusiastic about the surgery. Bypass i
23、s one of the most common major operations in America.In private, however, many of my fellow workers in medicine suspect that bypass has become too popular. A recent Harvard study showed that as many as two-thirds of patients referred for bypass dont need it or could have it postponed. In Canada and
24、Britain, where physicians perform bypass surgery much less frequently than they do in America,heart patients fare just as well. In addition, bypassing a blocked section of an artery does nothing to ;prevent the artery (动脉) from getting clogged somewhere else. In fact, bypass surgery can accelerate t
25、he development of new blockage.But bypass did not have to prove itself. It has become hugely popular. Voices of caution were drowned out as more and more hospitals raced to offer bypass. By 1979,100 000: bypasses a year were taking place, and 10 years later the figure has risen to 260 000. Medical s
26、tudents were keen to train in cardiac (心脏的) surgery; for all the hard training, it was a advancing ,challenging field. In fact, the rewards are handsome. There is more money to be made performing this surgery than there is in practicing in almost any other field of medicine.The idea of bold surgeons
27、 reaching into our bodies to save a wounded heart cannot but exert a powerful grip on our imaginations, as if we are witnessing a cultural ceremony where two overachieving individualssurgeon and patientcome together, Bypass may indeed be both a life-extending and pain-relieving procedure for many pa
28、tients. But perhaps it has transfixed us for too long.（分数：6.00）(1).According to the passage, a bypass surgery is _.（分数：1.00）A.a dangerous operationB.a painful experienceC.a symbol of ones success and courageD.nothing serious(2).From the second paragraph, we can see that the author is _.（分数：1.00）A.on
29、e of the heart patientsB.a boss in pharmacyC.a teacher in Harvard UniversityD.a medical worker(3).What conclusion can we come to, according to the passage?（分数：1.00）A.In a sense we may call the United States a “bypass nation“.B.In Canada and the U.K. bypass operations are less performed because their
30、 medical levels are relatively lower.C.Bypass operations can solve the heart patients problems once and for all.D.Recent study shows that nearly all of the bypass operations in the United States are proved useless and needless.(4).Bypass operation has become very popular in the United States because
31、 _.（分数：1.00）A.it is one of the most common major operationsB.it is more effective than any other medicineC.the standard of living in America is much higher than that in any other countryD.it can bring more money to the hospitals and doctors(5).In the third paragraph, the word “handsome“ actually mea
32、n _.（分数：1.00）A.beautifulB.considerableC.poorD.good-looking(6).In the last paragraph the author implies that _.（分数：1.00）A.the popularity of bypass operation has its profound financial reasonsB.doing bypass operation makes a doctor famousC.we shouldnt have blind faith in anything even if it is goodD.r
33、eceiving a bypass operation makes a person satisfiedBPassage Two/BMore American mothers than ever are working, and more workers are mothers. Yet their march into the world of paid work continues to cause suspicion. One recent survey found that 48 percent of Americans believe that preschoolers suffer
34、 if their mothers work, while another found that 42 percent of employed parents think that working mothers care more about succeeding at work than meeting their childrens needs.All mothers deserve our support-those who care for children at home and those who have joined the work force. But many work
35、ing mothers continue to believe that they are shortchanging (少找钱)their children. They shouldnt. Research tells us that kids do just fine when mothers work.Suzanne Bianchi a scientist of the University of Maryland, has found that mothers today spend as much if not more time with their children than t
36、hey did in 1965, even though the percentage of mothers who work rose from 35 percent to 71 percent. Then there are the obvious financial benefits. For many children, these earnings are the difference between living in povertyor out of it.The kids are all right. Studies conducted by the University of
37、 Michigan have consistently demonstrated that a childs social or academic competence does not depend on whether a mother is employed. In my research four out of five children (nine out of ten in single parent families) told me that having a working mother was their preferred arrangement. My study fo
38、und that children with working mothers are no more likely to drop out, take drugs, break the law, or experiment with sex prematurely than children with non-employed mothers. Children have taken their mothers example to heart. Ninety percent of the young women I interviewed said they hoped to combine
39、 work with motherhood, while two-thirds of the men said they wanted to share parenting and work.Sadly, children support working mothers more than we do as a society. Parental leave and child-care benefits in the United States remain inadequate, particularly when compared to whats offered in other co
40、untries. Children thrive when their mothers have satisfying, well-paid jobs when they can count on other caretakers to share the load. The challenge facing us is thus not whether good workers can also be good mothers, but whether we can create the conditions that enable working mothers and fathers t
41、o be good parents.（分数：6.00）(1).From the first paragraph, we can see that _.（分数：1.00）A.now more American mothers are working than any time in American history and anywhere else in the worldB.more than half Americans think that before going to school, children need their mothers whole-hearted careC.a
42、majority of Americans believe that once working outside home mothers think of their own work more than their childrenD.more American mothers work than ever before, but this problem of working mothers has not been solved satisfactorily(2).In paragraph two, the author thinks that _.（分数：1.00）A.society
43、should support all mothers no matter where they workat home or outside itB.working mothers are doing less for their childrenC.we should do more research on this problemD.working mothers should be proud(3).From the passage, we can not find the proof of the fact that _.（分数：1.00）A.now mothers do their
44、household work just as well as they did beforeB.with their mothers working, children are better offC.lack of mothers care, children like to go astrayD.in single-parent families, most children like their mothers go out working(4).In the last paragraph, “Parental leave and child-care benefits in the U
45、nited States remain inadequate“ actually refers to _.（分数：1.00）A.parents should not leave and pay more care to their childrenB.parental leave and child-care is contradictedC.children have inadequate care from their parentsD.in the United States, parents enjoy inadequate child-care leave and allowance
46、(5).What do the Americans need in solving the problem of working mothers?（分数：1.00）A.They need the support of males.B.They need the understanding of other members of their families.C.They need young people to be well-prepared to work both in and outside their homes.D.They need especially the powerful
47、 support of the society for working mothers.(6).What is the main idea of the passage?（分数：1.00）A.We should let mothers work without worry.B.It is better for mothers to stay at home.C.We should work hard, especially mothers.D.Like mother, like children.BPassage Three/BLaundry is, after all, just laund
