It's interesting that the United States is known as the land of the free, and yet medical care in the United States is
27)
more expensive than almost any other country in the world. The patient would
28)
up with his
29)
, and he would either call his physician or, go to the nearest
30)
room. In the physician's office
31)
would be very expensive, and if he needed to go to the hospital, it would be tremendously expensive. Medical care in the United States has gotten to the point that you must have
32)
to be able to afford your medical care
33)
you're tremendously rich. And an
34)
room in the hospital would cost him over $100 a day —
35)
to be in the room. And any care would be on
36)
of that.
Section A
Directions: In this section, there is a passage with several blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.
A) content
B) errors
C) ignored
D) reasonable
E) ideas
F) seek
G) range
H) skills
I) development
J) safe
K) confidently
L) priority
M) have
N) presentation
O) challenged
There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever
37)
spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much
38)
it must be given over general language
39)
and writing ability. The problem is how to encourage a child to express himself freely and
40)
in writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling.
If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher's interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to play
41)
. He will tend to write only words within his spelling
42)
, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That's why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to
43)
rather than technical ability.
I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: This work was terrible! There were far too many spelling
44)
in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child's
45)
, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation (动力) to
46)
improvement.
Section B
Directions: There are several passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.
Passage One
Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.
One of China's most popular folk arts is paper-cutting. Archaeological finds trace the tradition back to the 6th century; it is supposed that the beginnings of paper-cutting were even a few centuries earlier. Paper-cuttings are used for decoration and as patterns.
As is still partly the case outside of China, various paper objects and figures used to be buried with the dead or were burned at the funeral ceremony. Paper-cuttings, which were usually of symbolic character, were part of this ritual. They also often served as decorations for sacrificial offerings to the ancestors.
Today, paper-cuttings are chiefly used as decoration. They ornament walls, windows, doors, columns, mirrors, lamps and lanterns in homes and are also used for decoration on presents or are given as presents themselves.
They have special significance at festivals and on holidays. At the New Year's Festival for example, entrances are decorated with paper-cuttings, which are supposed to bring good luck.
Paper-cuttings are not produced by machine, but by hand. There are two methods of manufacture: scissor cuttings and knife cuttings. As the name indicates, scissor cuttings are fashioned with scissors. Several pieces of paper — up to eight pieces — are fastened together. The motif (艺术作品的主题) is then cut with sharp, pointed scissors. Knife cuttings are fashioned by putting several layers of paper on a relatively soft foundation consisting of a mixture of tallow (蜡脂) and ashes. Following a pattern, the artist cuts the motif into the paper with a sharp knife, which he usually holds vertically. The advantage of knife cuttings is that considerably more paper-cuttings can be made in one operation than with scissor cuttings.
47.
Paper-cutting might be traced back to ____.
A) the 6th century
B) the 8th century
C) earlier than the 6th century
D) Qing dynasty
48.
Originally paper-cuttings were used ____.
A) in the funeral ceremony
B) in the wedding ceremony
C) in celebration of Spring Festival
D) in honor of the dead
49.
Today paper-cuttings are NOT used as _____.
A) decorations on walls
B) decorations on presents
C) patterns
D) presents
50.
Knife cutting can make _____ paperc-uttings each time.
A) up to eight
B) eight
C) much more than eight
D) unstated
51.
Scissor cutting and knife cutting are different in ____.
A) the motif they use
B) the output at a time
C) the paper they use
D) the usage of the paper-cuttings they make
Passage Two
Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.
Reading, so we're told, is fundamental to a child's education. But trying to get good books — not just the classics but also worthy contemporary works — into young hands is increasingly providing a bit of problems. Spotty teacher training, lack of library assistance (if not lack of libraries themselves) and fear of controversy all help push teachers toward outdated or inadequate book choices. Those who fight back have to take the risk of losing their jobs or even being taken to court. And the old reliable volumes aren't necessarily a shelter either. Such classics as The Grapes of Wrath and Catcher in the Rye are still frequently the object of parental protests.
Supporters of more contemporary and challenging books say they energize kids and spur discussions about social realities that may already be affecting the classroom or community. Yet where should the line be drawn? Debbi Grizzi was stunned when she opened her 12-year-old’s backpack and discovered A Need to Kill, a graphic account of a child killer who fantasizes about murdering boys. "There has to be some check on what children are reading," she argues.
Yet even the books parents love are gradually losing their universality. Mary Brigid Barrett, a famous writer, says she always has to stop and explain Charlotte's Web to teaching students, since half of them tend not to know it. "What is shocking is that nobody in education is willing to say there are writers, poems, essays and books all Americans should read," says education expert Diane Ravich. And less incentive for adventurous teachers to look for new ones.
52.
It is implied in the first paragraph that ____.
A) it's difficult to find a proper book for children nowadays
B) some teachers dare not to use new contemporary books
C) some parents are against the use of some classic books
D) it's reliable to use those classic books
53.
Teachers who venture to use some new books may ____.
A) be scolded by the parents
B) do better in their teaching
C) be taken to court
D) attract more students
54.
"Spotty" in the first paragraph means ____.
A) unevenly done
B) dirty
C) inadequate
D) poor
55.
"They" in the second paragraph refers to ____.
A) supporters
B) teachers
C) more contemporary and challenging books
D) classic works
56.
It can be inferred that Charlotte's Web used to be ____.
A) very popular among children
B) a book parents loved to read
C) a book prohibited by the government
D) very difficult to understand
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage and choose
Y (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;
N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;
NG(for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage.
China is to blacklist cities that fail to reach national air quality standards and penalize them by warning off investors. The State Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) will also control construction projects that could worsen air pollution in the worst-offending cities. "The list will be announced regularly to warn cities of deteriorating air quality," the Xinhua News Agency quoted Zhang Lijun, SEPA's deputy director, as telling a forum on air quality.
China's economy has grown into the world's seventh-largest during more than two decades of economic reform, but its growth has come at the expense of the environment. China is the world's second-largest producer of greenhouse gases. Large Chinese cities are typically choked by car exhaust, factory emissions and construction dust, and pollution is compounded by coal-burning heating plants lit during the winter. There would be serious consequences for human health if emissions of sulfur dioxide were not curbed. SEPA was drafting a program focused on cleaning up coal power plants. With coal used to generate more than two-thirds of the country's power, China's emissions of sulfur dioxide were the highest in the world last year, causing acid rain across 30 percent of the country. Being the world's fastest-growing car market, China would write regulations aimed at curbing auto pollution into the country's "11th Five Year Plan", which will come into effect from 2006.
