12、rt A(总题数：0，分数：0.00)四、Passage 1(总题数：1，分数：20.00)Telemedicine is the name for when doctors give advice to patients by telephone or the Internet, or when health care providers in rural areas connect with specialists in big cities. It has existed for a long time, but the rise of smartphone, tablets and w
13、ebcam-equipped computers is raising telemedicine to new levels. Some health care systems in the United States now offer Virtual Urgent Care, on which patients see a doctor by video chat without having to leave home. Ben Green is a nurse educator in the western state of Washington. He recently demons
14、trated how Virtual Urgent Care works. He used an iPad tablet and Skypea video chat service. Firstly Doctor Green had the patient describe her symptoms, then he performed a physical exam by demonstrating what he wanted her to do. Doctor Green decides that the problem is a silence infection. For medic
15、ine, he prescribes an antibiotic. He says about 75% patients have health problems that can be treated like thisthrough Virtual Urgent Care, that means a video chat could replace a visit to the doctor“s office. “Of course, patient safety is important to us. So if we feel like the patient is not safe
16、to be treated in this manner, we“re going to suggest other alternatives for them,“ said Green. The Franciscan Health System is based in Tacoma, Washington. Franciscan charges 35 for this kind of virtual house call, that is much less than the cost of going to an emergency room, a doctor“s office or a
17、n urgent care clinic. After trying the video conference, Mr. Green says he would be happy to pay the 35, when he was recently home with a bad cold. “I would have paid twice that for the convenience of being taken care of without having to sit in a waiting room, wait, and get exposed to everyone else
18、“s germs,“ he said. Franciscan operates hospitals, clinics and a hospice for end-of-life care. Franciscan has a deal with a company called Carena to add Virtual Urgent Care by Skype or phone. Carena is one of several companies doing this kind of work around the country. But a company official says s
19、tate rules have not kept progress with developments in telemedicine. The workers who provide Virtual Urgent Care must be separately licensed in each state where the company has business. For now, that means Carena doctors can treat patients in Washington State and California for example, but not in
20、neighboring Oregon or Idaho.（分数：20.00）(1).Based on the 1st paragraph, which statement is true?（分数：4.00）A.Telemedicine has prospered recently.B.Telemedicine has made no progress recently.C.People can receive telemedicine in all hospitals.D.Telemedicine has special significance to those people in remo
21、te area.(2).By telemedicine, a patient should do the following EXCEPT _.（分数：4.00）A.doing as he is told by the doctorB.having an on-line communicationC.getting the medicines from the doctor directlyD.describing to the doctor what“s wrong with him(3).The advantages of telemedicine do NOT include _.（分数

24、edicine as well as its development.五、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：4.00)Biologically, there is only one quality which distinguishes us from animals: the ability to laugh. In a universe which appears to be utterly devoid of humor, we enjoy this supreme luxury. And it is a luxury, for unlike any other bodily pro
25、cess, laughter does not seem to serve a biologically useful purpose. In a divided world, laughter is a unifying force. Human beings oppose each other on a great many issues. Nations may disagree about systems of government and human relations may be plagued by ideological factions and political camp
26、s, but we all share the ability to laugh. And laughter, in turn, depends on that most complex and subtle of all human qualities: a sense of humor. Certain comic stereotypes have a universal appeal. This can best be seen from the world-wide popularity of Charlie Chaplin“s early films. The little man
27、at odds with society never fails to amuse no matter which country we come from. As that great commentator on human affairs, Dr. Samuel Johnson, once remarked, “Men have been wise in very different modes; but they have always laughed in the same way.“ A sense of humor may take various forms and laugh
28、ter may be anything from a relined tinkle to an earth quaking roar, but the effect is always the same. Humor helps us to maintain a correct sense of values. It is the one quality which political fanatics appear to lack. If we can see the funny side, we never make the mistake of taking ourselves too
29、seriously. We are always reminded that tragedy is not really far removed from comedy, so we never get a lopsided view of things. This is one of the chief functions of satire and irony. Human pain and suffering are so grim; we hover so often on the brink of war; political realities are usually enough
30、 to plunge us into total despair. In such circumstances, cartoons and satirical accounts of somber political e vents redress the balance. They take the wind out of pompous and arrogant politicians who have lost their sense of proportion. They enable us to see that many of our most profound actions a
31、re merely comic or absurd. We laugh when a great satirist like Swift writes about war in Gulliver“s Travels. The Lilliputians and their neighbors attack each other because they can“t agree which end to break an egg. We laugh because we are meant to laugh; but we are meant to weep too. It is no wonde
32、r that in totalitarian regimes any satire against the establishment is wholly banned. It is too powerful a weapon to be allowed to flourish in totalitarian regimes. The sense of humor must be singled out as man“s most important quality because it is associated with laughter. And laughter, in turn, i
33、s associated with happiness. Courage, determination, initiative-these are qualities we share with other forms of life. But the sense of humor is uniquely human. If happiness is one of the great goals of life, then it is the sense of humor that provides the key.（分数：4.00）(1).The most important of all
34、human qualities is_.（分数：0.80）A.a sense of humorB.a sense of satireC.a sense of laughterD.a sense of history(2).The author mentions about Charlie Chaplin“s early films because_.（分数：0.80）A.they can amuse peopleB.human beings are different from animalsC.they show that certain comic stereotypes have a u
35、niversal appealD.they show that people have the same ability to laugh(3).One of the chief functions of irony and satire is_.（分数：0.80）A.to show absurdity of actionsB.to redress balanceC.to take the wind out of politiciansD.to show too much grimness in the world(4).What do we learn from the sentence “
36、it is too powerful a weapon to be allowed to flourish in totalitarian regimes?“（分数：0.80）A.It can reveal the truth of political events with satire.B.It can arouse people to riot.C.It shows that tragedy and comedy are related.D.It can make people laugh.(5).Who is Swift?（分数：0.80）A.A novelist.B.A poet.C
37、.A dramatist.D.An essayist.六、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Karen Rusa was a 30-year-old woman and the mother of four children. For the past several months Karen had been experiencing repetitive thoughts that centered around her children“s safety. She frequently found herself imagining that a serious accid
38、ent had occurred; she was unable to put these thoughts out of her mind. On one such occasion she imagined that her son, Alan, had broken his leg playing football at school. There was no reason to believe that an accident had occurred, but she kept thinking about the possibility until she finally cal
39、led the school to see if Alan was all right. Even after receiving their assurance that he had not been hurt, she described herself as being somewhat surprised when he later arrived home unharmed. Karen also noted that her daily routine was seriously hampered by an extensive series of counting work t
40、hat she performed throughout each day. Specific numbers had come to have a special meaning to her; she found that her preoccupation with these numbers was hampering her ability to perform everyday activities. One example was grocery shopping. Karen believed that if she selected the first item on the
41、 shelf, something terrible would happen to her oldest child. If she selected the second item, some unknown disaster would fall on her second child, and so on for the four children. Karen“s preoccupation with numbers extended to other activities, most notable the pattern in which she smoked cigarette
42、s and drank coffee. If she had one cigarette; she believed that she had to smoke at least four in a row, or one of her children would be harmed in some way. If she drank one cup of coffee, she felt compelled to drink four. Karen acknowledged the unreasonableness of these rules, but, nevertheless, ma
43、intained that she felt more comfortable. When she observed them earnestly, when she was occasionally in too great a hurry to observe these rules, she experienced considerable anxiety, in the form of a subjective feeling of dread and fear. She described herself as tense, uneasy, and unable to relax d
44、uring these periods. The occurrence of rarely minor accidents does not reduce her belief that she had directly responsible because of her inability to observe the rules about number.（分数：5.00）(1).The main idea of this passage is to _.（分数：1.00）A.describe a woman who suffered from a psychological disea
45、seB.warn the readers against any imaginationC.explain the reason why Karen had such fanciful thoughtsD.present a case for the readers to study(2).Which of the following statements, if true, could most probably cure Karen of the illness?（分数：1.00）A.Her children were all right.B.She had a job having li
46、ttle to do with numbers.C.She went to a psychoanalyst.D.She gave up smoking and drinking coffee.(3).What does the underlined word preoccupation mean?（分数：1.00）A.The first right to occupy something.B.The first impression.C.The extreme focus of attention.D.The question.(4).Which of the following infere
47、nces is most probably NOT true according to the passage?（分数：1.00）A.When Karen was in a great hurry to smoke, she would feel much anxiety.B.If she selected the fourth item on the shelf in a group, the fourth child must experience some unknown disaster.C.Drinking four cups of coffee would make Karen m
48、ore comfortable than drinking two cups.D.Karen was a mother of four sons.(5).The author cited the example of the grocery shopping to _.（分数：1.00）A.demonstrate her children“s safety was closely related to the item she selected in the storeB.account for Karen“s inability to perform everyday activitiesC
49、.show how specific numbers were related to the safety of her childrenD.further explain that Karen was suffering from a psychological illness七、Passage 4(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Most of us think that, work is the central, dominating fact of life. We spend more than half our conscious hours at work, preparing for work, commute to and from work. What we do there largely determines our standard of living and to a great extent the status we are accorded by our fellow citizens as well. It is sometimes said that because leisure has become more important, the indign
