Reading Comprehension (A) THANK-you cards-heartfelt expressions of gratitude for gifts, services and general kindness-seem to be rare in an age when the Internet continues to reduce human interaction. Although our society has changed greatly over the past century, the etiquette of thank-you notes has not. While most people would agree that thank-you notes under these circumstances are a necessity, there are still those who forever postpone or are forgetful for unknown reasons. And at no time of the year are thank-you notes more visible (or lacking) than June, the month of graduations, and the beginning of summer parties. Its a must-do thing. A real thank you does not come by e-mail. It comes in the mail in an envelope. And what comes out of an envelope is a beautiful thing to touch and to handle and to pass around for everyone to read, said etiquette expert Letitia Baldrige. Dont think for a second that Baldrige is old-fashioned. Handwritten thank-you notes-any handwritten correspondence, for that matter- have taken on an air of extra importance and dignity () in this e-hyper (”) world. Baldrige remains hopeful that the art may be enjoying a renaissance (,”). More than simply obeying rules of etiquette, thank-you cards are a sign of caring. Theyre more important now than ever, expert Peter Post says. You are building a relationship. And part of building that relationship is that you acknowledge when someone has done something nice for you. The payoff, Post says, can be huge. The more we do it, the more it comes back to us, and its a benefit to us all. It makes our world a little bit nicer place to live in. 11 Nowadays thank-you cards seem to be rare mainly because _. A. people think that they are out of fashion B. it is quicker to say thanks by e-mail C. the Internet has reduced peoples contact D. people are too busy to remember these things12 From the context, the word etiquette in the second paragraph probably means _. A. old objects for sale B. rules for people to obey C. hand-made articles D. customs for polite behavior13 You are expected to write a thank-you note when _. A. you have received a wedding gift B. you have attended your sons graduation ceremony C. you have hosted a summer party D. you have found something beautiful to read14 The author implies in this article that _. A. old-fashioned people take a negative attitude to e-mails B. the changing society is making people impolite and lazy C. modern technology is driving people apart D. the e-hyper world is not a nice place to live in15 What is the authors main purpose of writing this article? A. To remind people to express heartfelt thanks. B. To criticize peoples forgetfulness. C. To suggest building a new relationship. D. To emphasize the importance of e-mail. (B) When doctors need information about what dose of medicine to prescribe, they usually consult a fat blue book called the Physicians Desk Reference, or PDR. But the doses recommended in the PDR may be too high for many people and may cause bad reactions, ranging from dizziness () and nausea()all the way to death, according to an article published last month in the journal Postgraduate Medicine. For many drugs, smaller doses would work just as well, with far less risk of bad reactions, said the author, Jay Cohen, an associate professor at the University of California. Side effects drive a lot of people out of treatment that they need, Dr. Cohen said. People often gave up trying to treat their illnesses when they found that the cure was worse than the disease. But if doctors were to individualize doses for each patient, more people might take their medicine. Dr. Cohen said he became aware of the problem because he met many patients who suffered from side effects even though they had taken what were supposedly the correct doses of medicine. When Dr. Cohen consulted medical journals and textbooks, he discovered studies showing that many patients were helped by smaller than usual amounts of medicine. And many of his own patients did better with reduced doses. Dosing guidelines generally tend to be too high because they are based on studies conducted with limited numbers of patients by drug companies when they are seeking approval for new products, Dr. Cohen said. For those studies to run efficiently, doses need to be high enough to show as quickly as possible that the drug works. But later, after the drug is approved, far more people take it, sometimes along with other drugs, and individual differences begin to show up. That information does not always make it into the PDR, Dr. Cohen said. Dr. Cohen cautioned that patients should not try to change doses of prescription on their own. He said they needed to work with doctors to adjust the doses safely.16 According to Dr. Cohen, many patients gave up their treatment because _. A. they found no obvious improvement was made after the treatment B. they thought doctors gave them larger doses than needed for their illnesses C. they could not put up with the strong side effects of the drugs D. they had no confidence in the effectiveness of the drugs17 To individualize doses for each patient (Para. 3) means _. A. doctors prescribe different drugs for patients who have the same illness B. doctors prescribe different doses of medicine for different patients C. doctors consult each patient instead of the PDR in their prescription D. doctors write a prescription for a patient only for his own use18 Dr. Cohen pointed out in his article that _. A. drug doses recommended in the PDR should be revised B. drug companies should try a new drug on more patients C. patients should not take their drugs together with other drugs D. lowering drug doses may cut the side effects of drugs19 In order to seek approval for their new products, drug companies _. A. only choose those patients for tests who react to the drugs well B. recommend higher doses which can show the drugs quick effectiveness C. exaggerate the usefulness of the drugs which they actually dont have D. provide data about the drugs which are false and misleading20 To reduce the side effects of medicine, a patient had better _. A. consult the doctor to adjust the doses safely B. stop taking the drug for a period of time C. change to a drug that has no side effects D. try a new treatment that is better for him (C) The BBC was the first authority in the world to provide a public television service, which began in 1936. During the war transmissions ceased, but were resumed in 1964. Viewers are now able to watch television for many hours a day, if they have time and inclination (). Moreover, viewers now have four channels at their disposal (). In 1955 the Independent Broadcasting Authority opened a television service and in 1982 a second independent service came into operation. The BBC provides two channels. The viewing hours have also been extended with the introduction of breakfast television by both the BBC and the Independent Broadcasting Authority. Advertisers buy time for advertising () on the Independent Television, but the amount of time devoted to advertising is small; it is strictly limited by the special Act that allowed commercial television. Viewers of any of the programs can watch plays, live transmissions of important events, sports and athletics, interviews with famous people, musical performances and many other items. Films are often televised, and many of them are made specially for television. The cinema industry is jealous () of television, and understandably keeps new films for showing in cinemas; nevertheless, TV occasionally screens a new one. Television has attracted many people away from the cinema and, in recent years, many cinemas have had to close. A frequent criticism of TV programs is that they too often feature violence and gunplay. On the other hand, it must be said that many serious and instructive matters are presented.21 Which of the following expresses the main idea of the article? A. TV channels in Britain. B. Independent TV service in Britain. C. TV programs of the BBC. D. British TV and its influence.22 Viewers are now able to watch television for _ in Britain.

TV programs are all enjoyed by people in Britain. (D) Filling out college applications can be pure tedium (), and worse. Form after form asking for personal information and educational background and the need to develop one essay after another can give a student writers cramp (). To make a good first impression on a school, however, neatness and legibility (“) count. Thats why applicants used to turn to the family typewriter. But who has a typewriter anymore? In many homes, it has been replaced by the personal computer. Given the flexibility the PC offers for editing and reusing the same data in different applications, its not surprising that the college application is beginning to go electronic. Many schools report that about 10 percent of their applications are now computer generated, and some schools report much higher numbers. At Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts, half of the 3,200 applications for this falls class were filed online. That figure is significant. In a recent survey, more than half of prospective college students said they would prefer to apply electronically. So far, however, there is no standard electronic application process. In many cases students fill out a colleges forms on a disk, print them out, and mail them to the institution. In other cases, the application is filled out on the World Wide Web. At California State Polytechnic University-Pomona, for the past two years applicants have been able to go via computer to the school Website to fill out an electronic version of its eight-page application. Some electronic applications are filled through commercial services, not with a school. While electronic options abound, the value of an application isnt altered by the form in which it is submitted. What makes you app is all of the things that accompany it: transcripts () , test results, essays, and recommendations, says Thomas Rajala, director of admissions at Boston University. Those are the things were going to pay most attention to. 26 The article is mainly about _. A. the process of college admission B. the tediousness of filling out applications C. the contents of application forms D. applying for college admission electronically27 What makes applying a pain to many applicants is the need to _.
