More time and money that doctors spend on their medical education is probably one reason for this problem.A visit to a doctors office costs from 15 to 50 dollars. It is almost impossible for people to pay for the medical care they need. Many people in the United States think that doctors are overpaid. Most doctors, however, disagree. They say that they were required (要求) to study medicine for a long time. Tuition for many years of medical education costs a lot of money. Doctors say that it is necessary for most medical students to borrow money from bank to pay their tuition. Because their money must be repaid to the bank, young doctors need to receive a lot of money for their work. So, they charge (收费) people high prices for medical care.Therefore, it is possible that the high cost of medical care in America is unnecessary, because high tuition is one cause of high costs. One way to lower costs would be to have medical schools that are free or have low tuition.56. The word “tuition” in the passage probably refers to _.A. teaching the students B. studying the courses C. payment for education D. living at school57. The reason for the high medical cost told in the passage is that _.A. tuition in medical schools is high B. the price of medicine is highC. doctors are overpaid D. doctors must pay money to the banks58.

Jupiter（木星） is the largest planet in our solar system. Over the years, scientists have found that Jupiter has its own small solar system. Earth has one moon. Jupiter has at least sixteen and probably more.Since there are so many moons, scientists began to number them. The numerals (numbers) tell the sequence, or order, in which the moons were found. They were slower to name the moons. All of Jupiters moons now have a name as well as a number.The first five moons to be discovered are known as the “inner moons”. But they are not the closest to the planet. The closest is only 127,600 kilometers away from Jupiter. All the inner moons circle the planet in counter-clockwise direction, that is, opposite of the hands of a clock.Jupiters middle group of moons are at least 11,100,000 kilometers from the planet. They also move in a counter-clockwise motion (moving). The four farthest moons are at least 20,700,000 kilometers away. These are called “outer moons”.

For most people, horses are just animals that should only be used for racing, for money. Ever since I was only a few years old, horses have been my passion (酷爱之物). My dream was to ride a horse. When that time finally came near my anxious little life, my heart beat a thousand times a minute.It was a warm summer day in Odessa, Ukraine, and we were at a park. My mom was buying several things for home while I looked around to find something that made my eyes twinkle (shine). I saw a figure from heaven, a four-legged beautiful animal was standing down the block, breathing heavily. I ran up to the horse, not even knowing how to pet it, just excited to see the most beautiful animal. He was shining white, with a well-brushed tail. Right away I thought that I could ride this horse. I turned the other way and went to search for my mom to get some money. I saw her buying groceries and led her to where the horse was. The owner was back and said that it was his horse and I couldnt ride it. A warm stream of tears flooded down my cheeks as my mom tried to ask the man to let me ride the horse. He finally agreed for a high price. He taught me how to get on the horse and explained to me that it was important to keep heels down and arms steady. The beat of the horses trot (小跑) awakened all the senses in me and I knew I was the happiest little girl in Ukraine at that time. I began planning how I was going to buy a horse after I became a millionaire. Before I knew it, the ride was over. Surprisingly, I actually learned to control the horse.That day was probably the happiest time of my life. Most children wouldnt have as much fun as I did. Several years later, after coming to America, I began to take part in show jumping. If it werent for that time in Ukraine, I wouldnt be able to enjoy the most amazing sport, one where you and another animal truly have to bond. 66. Which of the following is true according to the article?A. The writer and that horse took part in show jumping later.B. When the writer saw the horse, she loved it at once.C. The horse owner allowed her to ride the horse for free.D. The writer thought horse racing was for making money.67. What does the underlined word “bond” mean?A. To be connected to share feelings B. To be compared to find advantagesC. To be encouraged to work hard D. To be supposed to join efforts68. Which of the following is the right order according to the story?The girl looked for her mom to get some money.The girl saw the beautiful animal.The owner refused them.The owner taught her how to ride the horseThe girl cried sadly.A. B. C. D. 69. From the passage, we can infer that_.A. the horse could be easily controlled B. the horse owner was a kind and rich manC. the experience opened doors for her to get into the sportD. the writers mother loved the horse as much as her daughter70. What could be the best title for the story?A. Love for Horses B. Interest in SportsC. An Exciting Dream D. An Amazing Ride第二部分非选择题(共60分)五、用所给词的适当形式填空。(每题1分，共10题，满分10分)1.
