14、care for三、BPart Reading (总题数：6，分数：45.00)BIDirections/B: There are five passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter on the BANSWER SHEET/

15、B with a single line through the center./IBPassage One/BAmericans usually consider themselves a friendly people. Their friendships, however, tend to be shorter and more casual than friendships among people from other cultures. It is not uncommon for Americans to have only one close friend during the

16、ir lifetime, and consider other “friends“ to be just social acquaintances. This attitude probably has something to do with American mobility and the fact that Americans do not like to be dependent on other people. They tend to “compartmentalize“ (划分) friendships, having “friends at work“, “friends o

17、n the softball team“, “family friends“, etcBecause the United States is a highly active society, full of movement and change, people always seem to be on the go. In this highly charged atmosphere, Americans can sometimes seem brusque (无礼的) or impatient. They want to get to know you as quickly as pos

18、sible and then move on to something else. Sometimes, early on, they will ask you questions that you may feel are very personal. No insult is intended; the questions usually grow out of their genuine interest or curiosity, and their impatience to get to the heart of the matter. And the same goes for

19、you. If you do not understand certain American behavior or you want to know more about them, do not hesitate to ask them questions about themselves. Americans are usually eager to explain all about their country or anything “American“ in which you may be interested. So much so in fact that you may b

20、ecome tired of listening. It doesnt matter because Americans tend to be uncomfortable with silence during a conversation. They would rather talk about the weather or the latest sports scores, for example, than deal with silence.On the other hand, dont expect Americans to be knowledgeable about inter

21、national geography or world affairs, unless those subjects directly involve the United States. Because the United States is not surrounded by many other nations, some Americans tend to ignore the rest of the world.（分数：5.00）(1).The general topic of the passage is_.（分数：1.00）A.American cultureB.America

22、n societyC.Americans activitiesD.Americans personality(2).Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?（分数：1.00）A.Americans do not like to depend on other people.B.Friendships among Americans tend to be casual.C.Americans know a lot about international affairs.D.Americans a

23、lways seem to be on the go.(3).The phrase “highly charged“ (paragraph 2) most probably means_.（分数：1.00）A.extremely freeB.highly responsibleC.very cheerfulD.full of mobility and change(4).It can be inferred from the passage that_.（分数：1.00）A.Americans want to participate in all kinds of activitiesB.Am

24、ericans character is affected by their social and geographical environmentsC.Americans do not know how to deal with silenceD.Curiosity is characteristic of Americans(5).According to the passage, Americans tend to ignore the rest of the world because_.（分数：1.00）A.they are not interested in other count

25、riesB.they are too proud of themselvesC.their country does not have many neighboring nationsD.they are too busy to learn about other countriesBPassage Two/BWant a glimpse of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the various networks of people involved in patient care are being connected

26、to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patientno matter where he or she may be.Online doctors offering advice based on standardized symptoms are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis (telemedicine) will be based on real

27、 physiological data from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using an off-the-shelf (现成的) PDA (personal data assistance) such as a Palm Pilot plus a mobile phone, it is perfectly feasible to transmit a patients vital signs over the telephone. With this kind

28、of equipment in a first-aid kit (急救包), the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster responseespeciall

29、y after earthquakes. Overall, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and expertise.But there is one problem. Bandwidth is the limiting factor for transmitting complex medical images around the worldCT scans being one of the biggest bandwidth consumers. Communications satellites

30、 may be able to cope with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes, wars or famines. But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and third-generation mobile phones for the future of distributed medical intelligence.Doctors have met to discuss computer-based t

31、ools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications, the new technologies should usher in (迎来) an era when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, expert opinion and diagnosis are common.（分数：5.00）(1).The basis of remote diagnosis wil

32、l be_.（分数：1.00）A.standardized symptoms of a patientB.personal data assistanceC.transmitted complex medical imagesD.real physiological data from a patient(2).The sentence “the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past“ means_.（分数：1.00）A.now people probably w

33、ould not ask if there is a doctor in the houseB.patients used to cry and ask if there was a doctor in the houseC.in the past people often cried and asked if there was a doctor in the houseD.patients are now still asking if there is a doctor in the house(3).All the following statements are true EXCEP

34、T that_.（分数：1.00）A.it is now feasible to transmit a patients vital signs over telephoneB.flood is not among the disasters mentioned in the passageC.the trend in applying telemedicine is toward providing global access to medical dataD.telemedicine is being used by many medical teams as a tool for dis

35、aster response(4).The word “problem“ in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that_.（分数：1.00）A.there are not enough mobile phones for distributing medical intelligenceB.CT scans are one of the biggest bandwidth consumersC.bandwidth is not adequate to transmit complex medical images around the worl

36、dD.communications satellites can only cope with the short-term needs during disasters(5).A proper title for the passage may be_.（分数：1.00）A.Improvement in CommunicationsB.The Online Doctor Is InC.Application of TelemedicineD.How to Make Remote DiagnosisBPassage Three/BPictures in the British papers t

37、his week of Prince William, Prince Charless 18-year-old son, cleaning toilets overseas, have led to a surge of altruism (利他主义). Raleigh International, the charity that organized his trip, has seen inquiries about voluntary work abroad rise by 30%. But the image of idealistic youth that William prese

38、nts no longer reflects the reality of the volunteer force. Its getting older and older.Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) has about 2,000 volunteers in the field around the world. After a dip in interest in the mid-1990s, applications to work abroad are at record levels. Last year 7, 645 people submit

39、ted applications, and 920 successfully negotiated the VSO selection process and were sent abroad. When the organization was founded in 1959, the average volunteer was in his early 20s. Now, the average age is 35, and set to rise further.Partly, that is because there are more older people who want to

40、 do VSO. More people take early retirement; more, says the chief executive of VSO, “still feel that they have more to give and are in good health“. And the demands of the African and Asian countries where most of the volunteers go are changing, too. Their educational standards have risen over the pa

41、st couple of decades, so they want people with more qualifications, skills and experience.BESO (British Executive Service Overseas) recruits executives and businessmen with at least 15 years experience for short-term contract work overseas. It organizes 500 placements (工作安置) a year, and at the momen

42、t supply is surpassing demand. A BESO spokesman said that the organization is “limited by funding rather than a lack of volunteers“.Enthusiastic but unqualified students do not impress as much as they once did alongside accountants, managers and doctors. The typical volunteer, these days, has been i

43、n full-time employment for at least five years and is highly qualified. And the profession which provides the biggest portion of volunteers is educationheadmasters and school inspectors as well as classroom teachers.（分数：5.00）(1).According to the passage, the volunteers_.（分数：1.00）A.are getting older

44、and olderB.are becoming fewerC.are inexperienced and unqualifiedD.are mostly students(2).All the statements are true about Prince William EXCEPT that_.（分数：1.00）A.his trip has triggered a surge of altruismB.his trip was organized by a government institutionC.he presents the image of idealistic youthD

45、.he is not a representative volunteer in age(3).From the second paragraph we can know that_.（分数：1.00）A.the number of applications to work abroad declined in the mid-1990sB.the average volunteer now is not much older than forty years agoC.of those who have submitted applications a majority have been

46、chosen and sent abroadD.there were more applications to work aboard in the early 1990s than in the late 1990s(4).There are more older people who want to do VSO because_. . more people take early retirement . more older people feel they are in good health . the foreign countries where the volunteers

47、go want people with more qualifications, skills and experience（分数：1.00）A. onlyB. onlyC., and D. and (5).According to the last paragraph, the typical volunteer now may be_.（分数：1.00）A.an enthusiastic but unqualified young studentB.a highly qualified headmaster or teacherC.an executive or businessman w

48、ith at least 15 years experienceD.a well-experienced accountant, manager, or doctorBPassage Four/BWith only about 1,000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save the endangered species. Thats a move similar to what a Texas AM University researcher has been un

49、dertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noahs Ark“.Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas AMs College of Veterinary Medicine and a pioneer in embryo (胚胎) transfer work and related procedures, said he salutes the Chinese effort and “I wish them all the best success possible. Its a worthwhile project, certainly not an easy on
