Questions 41-45 are based on the following passage:
When I was at university I studied very hard. But many of my classmates did just enough to pass the exams. Jack was one of them. He spent more time drinking in the Smart Gentleman than reading in the library. Once, we had an important test in medicine. The test had a hundred questions. While all of us were studying very hard on Monday, the night before the test, Jack was watching TV. He usually worried a lot the night before a test. But that night he looked perfectly calm. He simply told me that he was sure, in some way, to get half the questions right.
, 百拇医药
The next day Jack came cheerfully into the classroom. As he sat down, he took out a coin. He tossed it for half an hour and marked down all his answers. Then he left, forty minutes before the rest of us. Two days later, he met the professor of medicine, "Have you got the results of the test?" Jack asked. The professor looked at him and smiled. "Ah it's you , Jack. Just a minute." Then he reached into his pocket and took out a big coin. He threw it into the air, caught it in his hand and looked at it . "I'm very sorry, Jack." he said, ''You failed."

Questlons 46-50 are based on the following passage.
The good news about Britain's National Health Service (NHS) is that it gives free medical help to everyone who needs it. Sick people don't have to pay to see the doctor, or to stay in hospital, and they only pay part of the cost of their medicines. The bad news is that the NHS is always running out of money. The British government spends even less on health than the American governrnent. And in the USA sick people also have to pay every time they see a doctor. The NHS has been admired and enjoyed by British poople since 1946 when it started. The idea then was to look after people "from the cradle to the grave". Free medicine was part of the "welfare state", which gave free education to the young, money to the unemployed, and pensious to the old.
, 百拇医药
Slowly, as the yeare pass, problems have grown up. Govemments are finding that the bills are getting bigger and bigger. In 1982, L14,000 million was spent on health. One reason for this is that there are many more old people now than there were in 1946. Forty percent of NHS money goes on looking after the old. Some poople say that the NHS is a luxury Britain can not afford. They want to bring back more private medicine, for which people would pay. Free medicine, they say, should be given only to the poor. Other people, including many doctors, disagree. Everyone, they say, has the right to the same medical help. In a two part system, the rich would always get the best. This would not be fair. People also disagree about how NHS money should be spent. Should L15,000 be spent on each heart transplant operation, when there are not enough beds for thousands of old people in pain? Should abortions be paid for by the NHS? Should more money be spent on the mentally ill? Shouldn't doctors and nurses be better paid?
, 百拇医药
The questions go on and on -- but so does the NHS. And millions of British people are thankful that it's there.
46. In Britain sick people have to pay some money to__________.
A. see a doctor
B. stay in a hospital
C. get some medicine

A. don't trust the NHS
B. want better medical treatment
, http://www.100md.com
C. don't think Britain can afford free medicine for all
D. believe that everyone has the right to medical help
49. What is ihe biggest problem the NHS is facing?

Quesiions 51-55 are based on the following passage.
Mrs. Jean Javis and Mrs. Maureen O`Brien live a few miles apart in Essex. They are identical twins, but they were adopted at birth and reared separately. Yet the similarities in their patterns of life, school reports, interests and family size --- they both have one son and one daughter --- have made them walking laboratories for scientists, who are fascinated to discover what influences hereditary factors in people. From such research, psychologists hope to discover more about the mysteries of genetic engineering for manipulating individual genes under the microscope. Scientists still do not understand why and how an embryo developing from a single fertilised egg can separate into two identical people. Jean and Maureen are involved in these investigations as part of a project called the Minnesota Study of Twins Reared Apart, which is being undertaken by a team working with Professor Thomas Bouchard.
, http://www.100md.com
The pointers from that work confirm that the effect of genetic influence on intelligence is stronger (about 60 percent to 40 percent) than the environmental influence and that the genetic influence on personality is about 50 percent, the other 50 percent being influenced by environrnent. The twins are participating with 28 other pairs, each reared apart, in an effort to estimate the relative contribution of genes and environment for a wide range of events during the human lifetime. These includes dietary habits, the age at which specific changes in body weight occurred, age at marriage, age at birth of children and spacing of children, age of puberty and menopause, age of starting of smoking and drinking, and so on.
, 百拇医药
Overall, a substantial genetic influence is found likely in the timing of these events. The environmental factors contributing to these behaviour patterns are more difficult to identify.
51. Scientists are primarily interested in Jean and Maureen because they__________.
A. were adopted at birth
B. each have a son and a daughter
C. are identical twins who have never lived apart
, http://www.100md.com
D. can help research into the influence of hereditary factors
52. By "walking laboratories" in the first paragraph is actually meant__________.
A. a son and a daughter B. mobile laboratories
C. a pair of twins D. Jean and Maureen
53. One of the main aims of the Minnesota Study is to__________.
A. research the causes of human behaviour
, 百拇医药
B. improve the design and structure of the microscope
C. increase our information about the environment
D. help people like Jean and Maureen understand each other
54. 'Personality is influenced as much by genes as by the environment.' The results of the Minnesota Study so far suggest that this statement is__________.
A. true B. false C. doubtful D. misleading
, 百拇医药
55. From the study of Twins Reared Apart, it would seem that
A. our dietary habits are formed mainly at puberty
B. the age at which we get mareied is determined by environment
C. whether we start smoking or drinking depends on intelligence
D. genes contribute a lot to the timing of events in our lives
Quesiions 56-60 are based on the following passage:
, http://www.100md.com
First aid means what it says: the aid , or help, that can be given to an injured person first, that is before any other help arrives. Nowadays there is usually a telephone not far away and the first thing we should do if a serious accident happens is to telephone for an ambulance. But sometimes quick action by us may save someone's life. Even when this is not so, there is often much that we can do to help. Shock: People often suffer from shock after receiving an injury, sometimes even when the injury is a small one. The face turns gray, and the skin becomes damp and cold. They breathe quickly. They should be kept-warm. Cover them with a blanket and give them a warm drink.
, http://www.100md.com
Broken bones: Do not move the patient. Send for an ambulance at once. Treat for shock if necessary.
Bleeding: A little bleeding does no harm. It washes dirt from the wound. But if the bleeding continues, try to stop it by placing a clean cloth (the inside of a folded handkerchief, for example) firmly over the wound until the bleeding stops or until help arrives.
Burns and Scalds: Place the burned or scalded part in cold water. Do not put any oil or ointment on it. If it is serious, see a doctor.
, 百拇医药
Dog Bites: Treat a bite as you would a cut -- wash it and bandage it. See a doctor at once.
Snake Bites: The person bitten must get to a doctor or hospital at once. Speed is very important. It will help the doctor greatly if you can tell him what kind of snake it was or describe it.
Suffocation: This means not being able to breathe. For example, a drowning person will have his lungs full of water. Lay him down with his head lower than the rest of his body so that the water will drain out. If a person has something stuck in his throat, try to remove it with your fingers, or by hitting him on the back.
, http://www.100md.com

Questions 61-65 are based on the following passage:
Sailora, and Fishermen in particular, have always been extremely superstitious. This is hardly surprising when one considers the changeable nature of the sea where, even today with sophisticated weather-forecasting techniques, a sudden storm can blow up quite unexpectedly. In the days before radio and engines, where there could bo no long-distance communication with another ship or land, and when sails were the only means of movement, it was only natural for the sailor to take every precaution to avoid offending the gods who controlled the Sea.
, http://www.100md.com
One way of pleasing these gods was to make an annual offering. This custom survives in the ceremony of blessing the sea, which can still been seen once a year in some fishing ports. Next to pleasing the sea-gods, the most important thing for the sailor was to know that his boat was free from evil influences. The time to make sure of this was at the launching ceremony. It is clear that the well-known custom of launching a ship by breaking a bottle of champagne against the side goes back a very long way. The purpose of it is to keep away evil spirits rather than to ask for the sea-god's protection. Starting on knew voyage or fishing trip was a dangerous business at tbe best of times. Once the fishermen had set out for his ship, he dared not, on any account, look back. It was bad luck even to call after him, so if he had forgotten anything, someone had to run after him and put the object into his hands.
, http://www.100md.com
Bad luck could also result from some chance meeting on the way to the boats. In some countries it was considered particularly unlucky to meet a priest, a rabbit or a woman. In such an event, the only thing to do was to turn back and sail next day.
61. What made sailors and fishermen superstitious?
A. Their own changeable natures.
B. The unreliable nature of the sea.
, 百拇医药
C. The difficulty of communicating with land.
D. The inadequate techniques of weather forecasting.
62. The fishermen tried to please the sea gods by__________.
A. giving them presents every year.
B. going long distance with only sails.
C. cleaning the fishing ports every year.
D. avoiding communicating with other ships.
, 百拇医药
63. Sailors broke a bottle of champagne against the side of the boat__________.
A. to protect it from bad spirits.
B. to ask for the sea gods' protection. C. so that the ship could go a very long way.
D. so that they could start drinking and eating.
64. What happened if a fisherman forgot something when starting on a trip?
, 百拇医药 A. He went back for it.
B. Someone called him back for it.
C. He looked behind him and tried to find it.
D. Someone gave it to him without speaking.
65. If a fisherman met a woman on the way to his boat__________.
A. he wouldn't blame her.
B. he should turn his back on her.
, 百拇医药
C. he wouldnt go fishing that day.
D. he should come back the next day.
Questions 66-70 are based on thefollowing passage:
An allergy is an adverse reaction to a foreign substance, called an aliergen, which produces little or no ill effects in most other people. Most allppens are complex chemical substances, usually proteins or combinations of proteins and sugar molecules. Allergens usually consist of many thousands of atoms that often weigh at least ten thousand times as much as a hydrogen atom. The molecular weight, therefore, is said to be 10,000 or more.
, 百拇医药
For a sufferer of pollen allergy, such as hay fever, a grain of pollen enters the nasal passage and becomes attached to the mucous membrane. The allergens contained in the pollen are then dissolved by the nasal secretions and penetrate the outer layer of the mocous membrane. The major allergy producer in ragweed has been named ragweed antigen E, a protein molecule with a molecular weight of 38,000. It represents less than 1 pereent of the ragweed pollen, but produces about 90 percent of all its allergic activities. The allergen is so destructive that an injection of a trillionth of a grain is enough to cause an allergic reaction in an allergic person.Scientists do not know why the ragweed allergen is so unusually reactive, although research has been undertaken for some time.
, 百拇医药
66. What do we know about allergen?
A. It contains only proteins.
B. It causes an allergy in most people.
C. It reacts with most other substances.
D. It leaves the majority of people unaffected.
67. What is unusual about ragweed antigen E?
A. It has high molecular weight.
, 百拇医药
B. It is the major pollen allergy producer.
C. 90 pereent of the ragweed pollen is stored in it.
D. A tiny amount of it produces high pollen allergy.
68. At what point does a pollen grain cause an allergy?
A. As soon as the grain enters the nasal passage.
B. When the nasal secretions destroy the allergens.
, 百拇医药
C. After the grain dissolves the mucous membrane.
D. When the allergens are absorbed into the mucous membrane.
69. Compared with a hydrogen atom, an allergen atom__________.
A. has a higher molecular weight.
B. weighs ten thousand times less.
C. owns more complex chemical substances.
D. contains more proteins and sugar molecules.

Questions 41-45 are based on the following passage:
When I was at university I studied very hard. But many of my classmates did just enough to pass the exams. Jack was one of them. He spent more time drinking in the Smart Gentleman than reading in the library. Once, we had an important test in medicine. The test had a hundred questions. While all of us were studying very hard on Monday, the night before the test, Jack was watching TV. He usually worried a lot the night before a test. But that night he looked perfectly calm. He simply told me that he was sure, in some way, to get half the questions right.
, 百拇医药
The next day Jack came cheerfully into the classroom. As he sat down, he took out a coin. He tossed it for half an hour and marked down all his answers. Then he left, forty minutes before the rest of us. Two days later, he met the professor of medicine, "Have you got the results of the test?" Jack asked. The professor looked at him and smiled. "Ah it's you , Jack. Just a minute." Then he reached into his pocket and took out a big coin. He threw it into the air, caught it in his hand and looked at it . "I'm very sorry, Jack." he said, ''You failed."

Questlons 46-50 are based on the following passage.
The good news about Britain's National Health Service (NHS) is that it gives free medical help to everyone who needs it. Sick people don't have to pay to see the doctor, or to stay in hospital, and they only pay part of the cost of their medicines. The bad news is that the NHS is always running out of money. The British government spends even less on health than the American governrnent. And in the USA sick people also have to pay every time they see a doctor. The NHS has been admired and enjoyed by British poople since 1946 when it started. The idea then was to look after people "from the cradle to the grave". Free medicine was part of the "welfare state", which gave free education to the young, money to the unemployed, and pensious to the old.
, 百拇医药
Slowly, as the yeare pass, problems have grown up. Govemments are finding that the bills are getting bigger and bigger. In 1982, L14,000 million was spent on health. One reason for this is that there are many more old people now than there were in 1946. Forty percent of NHS money goes on looking after the old. Some poople say that the NHS is a luxury Britain can not afford. They want to bring back more private medicine, for which people would pay. Free medicine, they say, should be given only to the poor. Other people, including many doctors, disagree. Everyone, they say, has the right to the same medical help. In a two part system, the rich would always get the best. This would not be fair. People also disagree about how NHS money should be spent. Should L15,000 be spent on each heart transplant operation, when there are not enough beds for thousands of old people in pain? Should abortions be paid for by the NHS? Should more money be spent on the mentally ill? Shouldn't doctors and nurses be better paid?
, 百拇医药

Quesiions 51-55 are based on the following passage.
Mrs. Jean Javis and Mrs. Maureen O`Brien live a few miles apart in Essex. They are identical twins, but they were adopted at birth and reared separately. Yet the similarities in their patterns of life, school reports, interests and family size --- they both have one son and one daughter --- have made them walking laboratories for scientists, who are fascinated to discover what influences hereditary factors in people. From such research, psychologists hope to discover more about the mysteries of genetic engineering for manipulating individual genes under the microscope. Scientists still do not understand why and how an embryo developing from a single fertilised egg can separate into two identical people. Jean and Maureen are involved in these investigations as part of a project called the Minnesota Study of Twins Reared Apart, which is being undertaken by a team working with Professor Thomas Bouchard.
, http://www.100md.com
The pointers from that work confirm that the effect of genetic influence on intelligence is stronger (about 60 percent to 40 percent) than the environmental influence and that the genetic influence on personality is about 50 percent, the other 50 percent being influenced by environrnent. The twins are participating with 28 other pairs, each reared apart, in an effort to estimate the relative contribution of genes and environment for a wide range of events during the human lifetime. These includes dietary habits, the age at which specific changes in body weight occurred, age at marriage, age at birth of children and spacing of children, age of puberty and menopause, age of starting of smoking and drinking, and so on.
, 百拇医药
Overall, a substantial genetic influence is found likely in the timing of these events. The environmental factors contributing to these behaviour patterns are more difficult to identify.
51. Scientists are primarily interested in Jean and Maureen because they__________.
A. were adopted at birth
B. each have a son and a daughter
C. are identical twins who have never lived apart
, http://www.100md.com
D. can help research into the influence of hereditary factors
52. By "walking laboratories" in the first paragraph is actually meant__________.
A. a son and a daughter B. mobile laboratories
C. a pair of twins D. Jean and Maureen
53. One of the main aims of the Minnesota Study is to__________.
A. research the causes of human behaviour
, 百拇医药
B. improve the design and structure of the microscope
C. increase our information about the environment
D. help people like Jean and Maureen understand each other
54. 'Personality is influenced as much by genes as by the environment.' The results of the Minnesota Study so far suggest that this statement is__________.
A. true B. false C. doubtful D. misleading
, 百拇医药
55. From the study of Twins Reared Apart, it would seem that
A. our dietary habits are formed mainly at puberty
B. the age at which we get mareied is determined by environment
C. whether we start smoking or drinking depends on intelligence
D. genes contribute a lot to the timing of events in our lives
Quesiions 56-60 are based on the following passage:
, http://www.100md.com
First aid means what it says: the aid , or help, that can be given to an injured person first, that is before any other help arrives. Nowadays there is usually a telephone not far away and the first thing we should do if a serious accident happens is to telephone for an ambulance. But sometimes quick action by us may save someone's life. Even when this is not so, there is often much that we can do to help. Shock: People often suffer from shock after receiving an injury, sometimes even when the injury is a small one. The face turns gray, and the skin becomes damp and cold. They breathe quickly. They should be kept-warm. Cover them with a blanket and give them a warm drink.
, http://www.100md.com
Broken bones: Do not move the patient. Send for an ambulance at once. Treat for shock if necessary.
Bleeding: A little bleeding does no harm. It washes dirt from the wound. But if the bleeding continues, try to stop it by placing a clean cloth (the inside of a folded handkerchief, for example) firmly over the wound until the bleeding stops or until help arrives.
Burns and Scalds: Place the burned or scalded part in cold water. Do not put any oil or ointment on it. If it is serious, see a doctor.
, 百拇医药
Dog Bites: Treat a bite as you would a cut -- wash it and bandage it. See a doctor at once.
Snake Bites: The person bitten must get to a doctor or hospital at once. Speed is very important. It will help the doctor greatly if you can tell him what kind of snake it was or describe it.
Suffocation: This means not being able to breathe. For example, a drowning person will have his lungs full of water. Lay him down with his head lower than the rest of his body so that the water will drain out. If a person has something stuck in his throat, try to remove it with your fingers, or by hitting him on the back.

Questions 61-65 are based on the following passage:
Sailora, and Fishermen in particular, have always been extremely superstitious. This is hardly surprising when one considers the changeable nature of the sea where, even today with sophisticated weather-forecasting techniques, a sudden storm can blow up quite unexpectedly. In the days before radio and engines, where there could bo no long-distance communication with another ship or land, and when sails were the only means of movement, it was only natural for the sailor to take every precaution to avoid offending the gods who controlled the Sea.
, http://www.100md.com
One way of pleasing these gods was to make an annual offering. This custom survives in the ceremony of blessing the sea, which can still been seen once a year in some fishing ports. Next to pleasing the sea-gods, the most important thing for the sailor was to know that his boat was free from evil influences. The time to make sure of this was at the launching ceremony. It is clear that the well-known custom of launching a ship by breaking a bottle of champagne against the side goes back a very long way. The purpose of it is to keep away evil spirits rather than to ask for the sea-god's protection. Starting on knew voyage or fishing trip was a dangerous business at tbe best of times. Once the fishermen had set out for his ship, he dared not, on any account, look back. It was bad luck even to call after him, so if he had forgotten anything, someone had to run after him and put the object into his hands.
, http://www.100md.com
Bad luck could also result from some chance meeting on the way to the boats. In some countries it was considered particularly unlucky to meet a priest, a rabbit or a woman. In such an event, the only thing to do was to turn back and sail next day.
61. What made sailors and fishermen superstitious?
A. Their own changeable natures.
B. The unreliable nature of the sea.
, 百拇医药
C. The difficulty of communicating with land.
D. The inadequate techniques of weather forecasting.
62. The fishermen tried to please the sea gods by__________.

Questions 66-70 are based on thefollowing passage:
An allergy is an adverse reaction to a foreign substance, called an aliergen, which produces little or no ill effects in most other people. Most allppens are complex chemical substances, usually proteins or combinations of proteins and sugar molecules. Allergens usually consist of many thousands of atoms that often weigh at least ten thousand times as much as a hydrogen atom. The molecular weight, therefore, is said to be 10,000 or more.
, 百拇医药
For a sufferer of pollen allergy, such as hay fever, a grain of pollen enters the nasal passage and becomes attached to the mucous membrane. The allergens contained in the pollen are then dissolved by the nasal secretions and penetrate the outer layer of the mocous membrane. The major allergy producer in ragweed has been named ragweed antigen E, a protein molecule with a molecular weight of 38,000. It represents less than 1 pereent of the ragweed pollen, but produces about 90 percent of all its allergic activities. The allergen is so destructive that an injection of a trillionth of a grain is enough to cause an allergic reaction in an allergic person.Scientists do not know why the ragweed allergen is so unusually reactive, although research has been undertaken for some time.

66. What do we know about allergen?
A. It contains only proteins.
B. It causes an allergy in most people.

A. It has high molecular weight.
, 百拇医药
B. It is the major pollen allergy producer.
C. 90 pereent of the ragweed pollen is stored in it.
D. A tiny amount of it produces high pollen allergy.
68. At what point does a pollen grain cause an allergy?
A. As soon as the grain enters the nasal passage.
B. When the nasal secretions destroy the allergens.
