34、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。 【知识模块】 阅读理解 2 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 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 with 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。 【知 识模块】 阅读理解

35、3 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 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。 【知识模块】 阅读理解 4 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 第二段第三句谈到，在国民医疗保健系统中，去医院看病的人来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。 【知识模块】 阅读理解 5 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 文章主要介绍了英国的国民医疗服务系统

36、：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。 【知识模块】 阅读理解 Task 2 Directions： This task is the same as Task 1 The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45 【知识模块】 阅读理解 6 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 根据题目要求直接定位到第一段。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 (takefor granted) ；然后作者举

37、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。 【知识模块】 阅读理解 7 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 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。 【知识模块】 阅读理解 8 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 这句话有

38、两个假设条件状语从句：如果 premises(前提 )are shaky，或者 arguments(论据 )are not logical(不符合逻辑 )， 那么就会出现 false reasoning(错误推理 )。 or连接两个条件从句表示它们是一种或然关系，即两者可以替换而结果是相同的，所以可知 shaky作形容词用，其意思应该是消极的、不好的。另外从词形上看， shaky的动词形式是 shake(动摇 )的意思，所以最终推理出 shaky应是指 “摇晃的，不可靠的 ”。只有 D项与其意思最相近。 【知识模块】 阅读理解 9 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 第三段第二句说明，大多数教授希

39、望学生们学会识别自己论述的前提，检查自己是否真正同意这些前提，以及了解自己是 否能够得出合理的结论；最后一句是总结，告诉我们教授教的不是思考的内容而是思考的方式 (how to think)。 B项的 think independently(独立思考 )能与文章的表述相呼应，为正确答案。 【知识模块】 阅读理解 10 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 最后一段第一句表明，如果学生与老师的观点不一致 (disagree with your professors)，就应该用强有力的论据来支持自己的观点 (a strong argument in support of your ideas)。所以正确
