18、Disease and injury make us suffer throughout our lives, until finally, some attack on the body brings our existence to an end. Fortunately, most of us in modem industrialized societies can take relatively good health for granted most of the time. In fact, we tend to fully realize the importance of g

19、ood health only when we or those close to us become seriously ill. At such times we keenly appreciate the ancient truth that health is our most precious asset, one for which we might readily give up such rewards as power, wealth, or fame.Because iii health is universal problem, affecting the individ

20、ual and society, the human response to sickness is always socially organized. No society leaves the responsibility for maintaining health and treating iii health entirely to the individual. Each society develops its own concepts of health and sickness and authorizes certain people to decide who is s

21、ick and how the sick should be treated. Around this focus there arises, over time, a number of standards, values, groups, statuses, and roles: in other words, an institution (体系，机构). To the sociologist (社会学家), then, medicine is the institution concerned with the maintenance of health and treatment o

22、f disease.In the simplest pre-industrial societies, medicine is usually an aspect of religion. The social arrangements for dealing with sickness are very elementary, often involving only two roles: the sick and the healer (治疗者). The latter is typically also the priest (牧师), who relies primarily on r

23、eligious ceremonies, both to identify and to treat disease: for example, bones may be thrown to establish a cause, songs may be used to bring about a cure. In modern industrialized societies, on the other hand, the institution has become highly complicated and specialized, including dozens of roles

24、such as those of brain surgeon, druggist, hospital administrator, linked with various organizations such as nursing homes, insurance companies, and medical schools. Medicine, in fact, has become the subject of intense sociological interest precisely because it is now one of the most pervasive and co

25、stly institutions of modem society.（分数：5.00）(1).Which of the following statements is tree according to Paragraph 1?（分数：1.00）A.Nowadays most people believe they can have fairly good health.B.Human life involves a great deal of pain and suffering.C.Most of us are aware of the full value of health.D.An

26、cient people believed that health was more expensive than anything else.(2).The word “authorize“ in Paragraph 2 means “_“.（分数：1.00）A.make way forB.give power toC.write an order forD.make it possible for(3).In Paragraph 2, we learn that the sociologist regards medicine as _.（分数：1.00）A.a system whose

27、purpose is to treat disease and keep people healthyB.a universal problem that affects every societyC.a social responsibility to treat ill healthD.a science that focuses on the treatment of disease(4).According to Paragraph 3, which of the following is NOT true?（分数：1.00）A.In the past, bones might be

28、used to decide why people fell ill.B.In pre-industrial societies priests sometimes treated patients by singing.C.Modern medicine is so complicated that sociology no longer has a place in it.D.There were only two roles in an elementary medical system, the patient and the one who tried to cure him.(5)

29、.The author of this passage is mainly concerned with_.（分数：1.00）A.sociological aspects in medicineB.medical treatment of diseasesC.the development of medical scienceD.the role of religion in medicine九、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Americas love affair with the credit card began in 1949. When businessman Frank

30、 McNamara finished a meal in a New York restaurant and then discovered he had no cash. In those days, gasoline and store charge cards were common, but cash was standard for almost everything else. McNamara called his wife, who rushed over to bail him out. His embarrassment gave him the idea for Dine

31、rs Club.Within a year some 200 people carried the worlds first multi-use card. For an annual fee of $5, these card holders could charge meals at 27 restaurants in and around New York City. By the end of 1951 more than a million dollars had been charged on the growing number of cards, and the company

32、 was soon turning a profit.The problem was to persuade enough people to carry the cards. Diners Club turned to promotions. It gave away a round-the-world trip on a popular television show. The winners charged their expenses and made it “from New York to New York without a dime in their pocket“. By 1

33、955 the convenience of charging was catching on in a big way.The first to turn a profit was Bank of Americas Bank Americard. Bankers from all over the country descended on its California headquarters to learn the secret of its successso many that in 1966 Bank Americard began forming alliances with b

34、anks outside the state.Five million holiday credit card shoppers would have created a bonanza for banks, but in the dash to market, the banks had been less than cautious in assembling their lists. Some families received 15 cards. Dead people and babies got cards. Hundreds of Chicagoans discovered th

35、ey could use or sell a card they “found“ and by law, the person whose name appeared on it was liable for the chargeseven if he or she had never requested of received the card.The disaster sparked a movement to regulate the industry. Public Law 91-508, signed by President Nixon in October 1970, prohi

36、bited issuers from sending cards to people who hadnt requested them at all but eliminated card-holder liability for charges on a card reported lost or stolen. Later, the Fair Credit Billing Act set standard procedures for resolving billing disputes.Of course, Credit cards have not only replaced cash

37、 for many purposes, but also in effect have created cash by making it instantly available virtually everywhere. Experts estimate there are from 15,000 to 19,000 different cards available in his country.So the revolution that began in 1949 with an embarrassed businessman who was out of cash now seems

38、 complete.
