We tend to assume that experts and religious leaders tell us “the truth“. We tend to believe that things advertised on television or in newspapers can“t be bad for us.
10、 However, encouragement of critical thinking in students is one of the goals of most colleges and universities. Few professors require students to share the professors“ own beliefs. In general, professors are more concerned that students learn to question and critically examine the arguments of othe
11、rs, including some of their own beliefs or values. This does not mean that professors insist that you change your beliefs, either. It does mean, however, professors will usually ask you to support the views you express in class or in your writing. If your premises (前提) are shaky, or if your argument
12、s are not logical, professors personally point out the false reasoning in your arguments. Most professors want you to learn to recognize the premises of your arguments, to examine whether you really accept these premises, and to understand whether or not you draw logical conclusions. Put it this way
13、: Professors don“t tell you what to think; they try to teach you how to think. On the other hand, if you intend to disagree with your professors in class, you should be prepared to offer a strong argument in support of your ideas. Arguing just for the sake of arguing usually does not promote a criti

17、 _.（分数：4.00）A.argue mainly for the sake of arguingB.support your idea with sound reasoningC.prove it with a good conclusionD.examine others“ ideas critically四、Task 3(总题数：1，分数：20.00)Dear Mr. Williams: Your advertisement in this morning“s paper for manager of public relations appeals to me.

30、0，分数：0.00)二、Task 1(总题数：1，分数：20.00)In Britain there is a National Health Service (NHS) which is paid for by taxes and National Insurance, and in general people do not have to pay for medical treatment. Every person is registered with a doctor in his or her local area, known as a general practitioner
31、(全科医生) or GP. This means that their names are on the GP“s list, and they may make an appointment to see the doctor or may call the doctor out to visit them if they are ill.

34、ry ill can call an ambulance (救护车) and get taken to hospital for free urgent medical treatment. Ambulances are a free service in Britain.（分数：20.00）(1).In Britain, the National Health Service refers to _.（分数：4.00）A.a local hospitalB.a medical care systemC.a medicine supplier D.an insurance company解析：
35、解析 根据题目中的 the National Health Service 定位到第一段。该段第一句的后半部分谈到，在这种服务下人们不需要为医疗付费；然后该段详细介绍了这种服务的运行情况：如何看医生，如何看专家门诊等等。因此可推断出 NHS 是一种医疗体系，四个选项中只有 C 项最符合文意。 A 项只是提供这种医疗服务的机构之一。B 项和 D 项的表述明显与文章意思不符。此外，除了 C 项表明NHS 是个 system(体系)之外，其他的干扰项都将其具体化，但 NHS 应该涵盖医疗的各个方面，不单单是医院、供应商或保险公司这么简单。(2).Under the National Health S
36、ervice, British citizens _.（分数：4.00）A.are all registered with a general practitioner B.can only go to see a general practitionerC.do not need to buy private health insuranceD.cannot call in a general practitioner解析：解析 还是根据题目中的 the National Health Service 定位到第一段。根据该段第二句可知，每个人都要在医生处登记注册(registered wit
37、h a doctor)；另外，该段第一句也告诉我们这种服务是以税收和国民保险来支持运转的，涉及到英国的每一位公民。因此可以断定应该都要在全科医生处登记注册，A 项为正确答案。 第二段第二句谈到，一些英国公民仍然需要有个人健康保险，因此 B 项不正确。第二段第一句表明英国公民同样也可以选择必须付费的私人治疗，排除 C 项。第一段第三句说到公民可以打电话请医生到他们家里出诊，因此 D 项的表述不对。(3).People buy private health insurance in order to _.（分数：4.00）A.pay for the ambulance serviceB.see a
38、 general practitionerC.receive free urgent treatmentD.have private treatment 解析：解析 本题询问人们购买个人健康保险是为了干什么。根据文章第二段的第二句话可知一些人用个人健康保险来支付私人医疗，因此可推理出购买这种保险是为了能够享受私人医疗待遇，即选项 D 为正确答案。 文章最后一句表明在英国救护车服务是免费的，因此 A 项不对。同理，既然免费就不需要付费，也不选 B项。找全科医生看病属于国民医疗服务，也是免费的，这不是买个人保险的原因，排除 C 项。(4).Which of the following is TRU
39、E according to the passage?（分数：4.00）A.People in Britain do not have to pay for any kind of medical care.B.People in Britain may wait long for their free medical treatment. C.In British you have to pay for ambulance service.D.British private medical insurance is free.解析：解析 第二段第三句谈到，在国民医疗保健系统中，去医院看病的人
40、不得不等很长一段时间(wait for a long time)才能就医看病。因为国民医疗服务提供的是免费治疗，所以等候时间非常久。B 项的表述符合文意，为正确答案。 A 项明显不对，因为他们需要为私人医疗付费。文章最后一句表明在英国救护车服务是免费的，排除 C 项。文中没有提及英国私人医疗保险是免费的，作者只提到私人医疗是有偿服务，人们可用个人健康保险来支付，不选 D 项。(5).What is this passage mainly about?（分数：4.00）A.Private medical care in Britain.B.Taxes and free medical care.
41、C.Roles of general practitioners.D.Health services in Britain. 解析：解析 文章主要介绍了英国的国民医疗服务系统：它的费用来源、运行过程、免费服务项目等等，并且也提到了私人医疗的收费情况。因此可以说本文主要讨论了英国的医疗服务，即 D 项。 A 项的 Private medical care 和 B 项的 general practioners 都只是文章内容的一部分，不足以概括全文。C 项中的 Taxes(税收)只是国民医疗服务的费用来源之一，而且在文章中只是泛泛提到，并未对它进行详细描述。三、Task 2(总题数：1，分数：20

48、位到第一段。该段第一句是主题句，表明许多人在成长的过程中总认为有些事情是理所当然的(take.for granted)；然后作者举出人们总是倾向于相信权威和广告宣传的例子来证明这种说法。由此可见，人们会不假思索地接受一些事情，A 项的表述正确。 第一段并没有提到通过学习生活中的某些事情成长，以及在成长过程中形成自己的观点这两项内容，排除B 项和 C 项。D 项的前半句与第一段第二、三句的意思差不多，但 while getting old 在文章找不到依据。(2).Nowadays, most colleges and universities encourage students to _.（
49、分数：4.00）A.criticize othersB.give their own ideasC.share professors“ beliefs D.change their own beliefs解析：解析 根据题目中的 most colleges and universities 定位到第二段第一句。该句谈到，大部分的大专院校都鼓励学生进行批判性思考(critical thinking)。其后谈到的教授希望学生学着对他人的意见进行质疑和以批判性的眼光来看待也反映出批判性思考的重要性。换句话说，大多数的大专院校都鼓励学生有自己的观点，不盲目跟从，即 C 项。 A 项和 critical thinking(批判性思维)首先在含义上有所不同，前者针对人和事，有“挑剔、责备”之意，而后者是一种思考方式，有“评价、判断”之意；其次在范围上后者要包括前者，评价他人是为了提出自己的观点。因此 A 项不对。该段第二句说到，没有教授会要求学生的想法跟他的一致，B 项也可以排除。根据该段第四句，这并不意味着老师非得要你改变你自己的信仰
