The poor little girl had a very serious disease(疾病)and was dying. The doctor had done his best but no medicine really worked. The only chance to save her seemed to be a blood transfusion(输血)from her five-year-old brother. The little boy had the same disease before and had developed the antibodies(抗体)to fight the illness.The doctor talked to the little boy about what they planned to do, and asked him if he would like to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate(迟疑) for a moment. Then he took a deep breath and said, Yes, Ill do it if it can save Lisa.As the transfusion was going on, the little boy lay quietly in bed next to his sister. He looked at her and smiled all the time. When everything was done and the color returned to his sisters face, his smile disappeared and he looked a little afraid. He looked up at the doctor and asked, Will I start to die now?He was too young to understand the doctor. He thought he would have to give all his blood to his sister, but he agreed.35.

In the past, only people with a good deal of money could travel on holidays to other countries. More people travel today than in the past because there is a growing middle class in many parts of the world. That is to say, people now have more money for travelling. Special airplane fares for tourists make travel less expensive and more attractive(吸引人的)than ever before.Different people have different reasons for travelling. But most people enjoy seeing countries that are different from their own. They also like to meet new people and enjoy new food.Tourism has many changes in a country and in peoples lives.

The 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. Its so expensive. Many people in the United States think that doctors are overpaid. However, most doctors disagree. They say that they were asked 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 the 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 the cost of medical care in America is high. Because high tuition is one cause of high costs, one way to lower costs would be to have medical school that are free or have low tuition.43. The underlined word tuition in the passage means “_” A. eating at school B. studying the courses C. money used for education D. living at school44. The main idea of the passage is that_.

The cost of medical care in the USA is very high. What does the writer think about it? A. He agrees that doctors are overpaid. B. He thinks it is a big problem and suggests (建议) solving (解决) it. C. He doesnt think the medical students should borrow money from banks.D. He doesnt think it necessary for the medical students to study for a long time.2012-2013学年度第二学期学业水平测试八年级英语答题纸命题人：杨施艳 2013.3.26第I卷（选择题，共60分）一、单项选择(共20题，每题1分，计20分)题号12345678来源:学#科#网Z#X#X#K910答案来源:学#科#网Z#X#X#K题号11121314151617181920答案 考场_ 班级_ 姓名_ 学号_二、完形填空(共10题，每题1分，计10分)题号21222324252627282930答案三、阅读理解(共15题，每题2分，计30分) 题号313233343536373839404142434445答案第II卷（非选择题，共60分）B. 任务型阅读(共10空，每空1分，计10分)Bats are amazing animals.
