He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient wh
19、o was about to die on something she had swallowed.“I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I felt like playing one of the roles myself. So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope(听诊器)and walked around one of the biggest hospital in London. At first I just watched. Once you l
20、earn how doctors talk to patients, nurses and others doctors, its easy to take people in,” he said.One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan. She had been knocked down by a car and fainted. When she came to in hospital, York was standing over her.“He looked very professional. He told me his na
21、me was Doctor Simon. Then he gave me some sort of injection,” she said. And then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was. She didnt think there was anything wrong. “I would never have realized he was a fake if a policewoman hadnt showed me his photograph a week later. When the policewo
22、man told me who he really was, I could hardly believe my ears.” k$#s5uJudge Raymond Adams told York that he was “ shocked and horrified” that he got away with his deceiving for so long. And they sentenced him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminal with mental disorders.“I can only hope
23、that this will not lead to further problems. After all, you will have considerable opportunity to study the behaviour of the psychiatrists(精神科医生)who will look after you while you are there. If you try to persuade people that you yourself are a psychiatrist after you are set free, I shall make sure t
24、hat you are given a much longer sentence.” Judge Adams warned York.41.

27、ne D. studied the behaviour of the psychiatrist BSocieties all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it h
28、appens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits died hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.Many roads and places in Singapore are named in order that the pioneers wi
29、ll be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries in both the West and the East.Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships betwee
30、n the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in 教学资料王 联系 QQ：372649014教学资料王 联系 QQ：372649014former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you
31、will see Piccadilly Circus obviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example, “Base Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay（马来语）. Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet
32、Rice Road”? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is
33、 called a crescent（月牙） because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.45.

Some place names in Singapore are the same as in Britain.B. Some places in Singapore are named for military purposes.C. The w
35、ay Singaporeans name their places is unique.D. Young Singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers.CThe famous car Rolls-Royce has been largely hand-made and always one of the most expensive cars on the market.In fact, Rolls-Royce is made up of two mens names, Charles S. Rolls and Henry Royce. They came
36、from very different backgrounds, received very different educations and when they met; their careers were going in very different directions.In 1903, Royce bought a second-hand France Decauville car.

It was the first automobile seen at Cambridge and by the time Rolls finished his studies, he was probably the most skilled driver in Britain. In 1902, Rolls went into the bu
39、siness of selling cars and became a leading automobile distributor. He was looking for a British car to market when he was told that Henry Royce had designed and built a two-cylinder automobile.In 1904, Royce and Rolls joined together to build and sell motor car. They combined their talentsRoyce the

Students responsibility for learning 教学资料王 联系 QQ：372649014教学资料王 联系 QQ：37264901451 There is considerable variety in university classrooms in th
44、e United States. Because of diverse teaching methods and non-standardized curricula (课程), no two courses are the same. Undergraduate courses are considerable different from graduate courses. The classroom atmosphere in expensive, private universities may differ from that in community colleges， which
45、 are free and open to everyone.52 Participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student in many courses. Some professors base part of the final grade on the students oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role (i.e
46、., listening and taking notes), many courses are organized around classroom discussions, student questions, and informal lectures.53 Many teachers believe that the responsibility for learning lies with the student. (Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams.) The ideal student is co
47、nsidered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning, not the one interested only in getting high grades.54 Ideally, the teacher-student relationship at universities is characterized by trust. Thus, cheating on tests, Plagiarizing (抄袭) in written work, presenting others ideas as ori
48、ginal, and turning in homework completed by someone else are all prohibited (禁止).55 Relationships between students in the classroom can be cooperative or competitive. International students should not hesitate to ask for help if it is needed. in classes where such a grading curve is used, students may be reluctant to share lecture notes or information for fear that their own grades will suffer.第三部分： 写作（共三节，满分 40 分）第一节 单词拼写（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分）根据下列各句句意和空白之后的汉语提示词，在
