17、d mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage 1Americans 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 America
18、ns to have only one close friend during their 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） friend
19、ships, having “friends at work“, “friends on the softball team“, “family friends“, etc.Because 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. Th
20、ey want to get to know you as quickly as possible and then move on to something else. Sometimes, early on, they wil1ask you questions that you may feel are very persona1. No insult is intended; the questions usual1y grow out of their genuine interest or curiosity, and their impatience to get to the
21、heart of the matter. And the same goes for 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 in
22、terested. So much so in fact that you may become 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 expec
23、t Americans to be knowledgeable about international 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.46. The general topic of the passage is _.A
24、. American culture B. American societyC. Americans activities D. Americans personality47. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. Americans do not like to depend on other people.B. Friendships among Americans tend to be casual.C. Americans know a lot about internati
25、onal affairs.D. Americans always seem to be on the go.48. The phrase “highly charged“ (paragraph 2) most probably means _.A. extremely free B. highly responsibleC. very cheerful D. full of mobility and change49. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. Americans want to participate in all kinds
26、 of activitiesB. Americans character is affected by their social and geographical environments.C. Americans do not know how to deal with silenceD. Curiosity is characteristic of Americans50. According to the passage, Americans tend to ignore the rest of the world because _.A. they are not interested
27、 in other countriesB. they are too proud of themselvesC. their country does not have many neighboring nationsD. they are too busy to learn about other countriesPassage 2Want a glimpse of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the various networks of people involved in patient care are bei
28、ng connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exp1oited to deliver medicine to the patient - no 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
29、be based on real 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.
30、 With this kind of equipment in a first-aid kit (急救包), the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house cou1d 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 r
31、esponse especially 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 world CT scans being one of the biggest bandwidth consumers. Communi
32、cations satellites 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 discus
33、s computer-based tools 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.51. The basis of remote diagno
34、sis will be _.A. standardized symptoms of a patient B. personal data assistanceC. transmitted complex medical images D. real physiological data from a patient52. The sentence “the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past“ means _.A. now people probably wou
35、ld 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 house53. All the following statements are true EXCE
36、PT that _.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 disast
37、er response54. The word “problem“ in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that _.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 worldD. comm
38、unications satellites can only cope with the short-term needs during disasters55. A proper title for the passage may be _.A. Improvement in Communications B. The Online Doctor Is InC. Application of Telemedicine D. How to Make Remote DiagnosisPassage 3Pictures in the British papers this week of Prin
39、ce 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 presents no longer re
40、flects the reality of the volunteer force. Its getting older and older.Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) has about 2000 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 submitted applications,
41、 and 920 successfully negotiated the VSO selection process and were sent abroad. When the organization was founded in l959, 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 do VSO. More peo
42、ple 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 past couple of deca
43、des, 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 moment supply is surp
44、assing 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 in full-time empl
45、oyment 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.56. According to the passage, the volunteers _.A. are getting older and older B. are becoming fewerC. are inexperienced and unqualified
