Each passage is followed by some questions of unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A B C D .you should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21to 25 are based on the following passage.Who take cares of the elderly in the United States today? Many people wrongly believe that when people reach old age, their families place them in the hands of strangers for the rest of their lives, their grown children visit tem only occasionally, but more often, they do not have any regular visitors. The truth is that this idea is an unfortunate made-up story. In fact, family members provide over 80 percent of the care that the elderly people need.Because Americans are living longer than ever, more social workers have begun to study care-giving to improve care of the elderly. They have found that all caregivers share something in common: all caregivers believe that they are the best person for the job. One caregiver said that she had always been close to her mother. Another was the oldest child. In other words, they all felt that they could do the job better than anyone else. Social workers interviewed caregivers to find out why they took on the responsibility of caring for the elderly. They discovered three basic reasons. Many caregivers believe that they had an obligation to help their relatives. Some stated that helping others made them feel more useful. Others hoped that by helping someone now, they would deserve care when they become old and dependent.21. Whats the real situation of care-giving of most elderly people in the United Stages?A) They stay in the nursing homes without any family careB) They are forgotten and left in the hands of strangers.C) Their children go to visit them only occasionally.D) Their families give them the most care they need.22.

If you live in a city in North America or Europe, you have probably never thought much about water. Whenever you need some, you turn on the tap(水龙头) and the it is. Millions of people in other parts of the world are not so lucky. They have trouble getting enough clean water for their basic needs. This situation may soon become common all around the would. Scientist believes that the lack of clean water may be one for the biggest issues in the twenty-first century.The reasons for this are clear. Not the one hand, people are using more water than ever. Over the last fifty years, the population of the would has more than doubled. So has the demand for water. On the other hand, supplies of clean water are disappearing. Many sources of surface water are too polluted and unhealthy for use as drinking water. This has forced more and more people to drill wells so they can get clear water from underground.If the world does not want to go thirsty in the near future, scientists say, further pollution must be prevented. Around the world, government must make real changes in industry, agriculture, and waste deposal.26.

B) Scientists think lack of clean water is a serious problem in the future. C) People prefer drinking underground water rather than surface water. D) Disposal of wastes has nothing to do with water pollution.Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. Employees are a companys new ideas, its public face and its main asset. Hiring the right people is therefore the most important factor in a companys success. On the other hand, recruiting the wrong staff can lead to disaster. If the human resources (HR) department makes mistakes with hiring, keeping and dismissing staff, a business can disappear very quickly. Many companies now realize that recruiting the best recruiters (招聘人员) is the key to success. Why do people go into HR as their first choice? Choy has a ready answer:” I think most people in the profession are attracted by a long-term goal. Since its one of the few areas where you can see the whole operation, it can lead to an influential (有影响的) role on the management. Nothing happens in the company which isnt affected by or doesnt influence its employees, so the HR department is a very important part of any business.” However, not all people agree. A survey of attitudes to HR departments received comments such as “What do they actually contribute?” But rising levels of pay show that the professions growing importance is widely recognized. As Choy points out, salaries have never been higher and, in addition, HR managers often receive large annual bonuses. Despite the financial rewards, HR managers often feel they are not properly valued, and this is a major reason for many leaving their jobs. A lack of training and development is a more significant factor,” These days, good professional development opportunities are considered an essential part of an attractive package.” Choy explains. 31. We can learn from the first paragraph that the success of a company lies in _ A) Hiring creative employees B) Building up its public image C) Having right HR personnel D) Dismissing its bad staff 32. According to Choy, the reason why people go into HR is mainly that_ A) They are able to determine the future of the company B) They can decide the fate of their employees in the company C) Their work can influence the operation of the company D) Their work can lead to a long-term contract with their bosses33. Some people dont believe that HR managers should get high pay because_ A) They contribute little to the companys operation B) Their annual bonuses are already higher than others C) Their work has never been widely acknowledged D) They exert no influence on the managements decisions34. According to the passage, why do many HR managers leave their jobs? A) Because of the poor financial rewards for the job. B) Because of unhappy relationship with their employers C) Because they cannot decide the development of the HR department. D) Because they feel they have little professional training and development.35. The word “asset” in the first sentence of the passage most probably means_. A) The good or useful quality a company possesses B) People who are valuable to the success of a company C) Advertisements that is effective for recruiting new works D) The things that a company owns, that can be sold to pay debtsPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.If you or a loved one were having a heart attack and could choose between a teaching hospital and a traditional hospital, two new studies suggest the teaching hospital would be the better choice.Because they have more doctors, with more access to the latest information, teaching hospitals kept alive more people with heart attacks and other major illnesses, according to a study in the latest New England Journal of Medicine.The advantage for heart attack victims was simplequicker application of the standard treatments at both teaching and non-teaching hospitals.“There are many more people in teaching hospitals than there are in non-teaching hospitals,” Cassirer says. “There is a lot of consultation (专家会诊) that goes on.”However, the studies ranked non-teaching hospitals better at supporting patients emotionally.“Teaching hospitals are big places,” Cassirer says. “So its much more difficult to do that.”Also, care costs more at teaching hospitalsabout 5 percent more on average.Supporters of the major teaching hospitals say they have cut some costs, but that cutting too much would damage their most important responsibility, which is the training of good doctors.“Its hard to measure in dollars and cents, but I think its recognizable in the standard of care available in the United States, something the rest of the world admires”, says Dr.Jordan of the Association of American Teaching Hospitals. 36. One advantage of teaching hospitals over non-teaching hospitals in treating heart attack patients is that_. A) They provide better medical treatment with low costs B) Patients get the latest information about their illness C) They keep more patients alive D) Doctors are more responsible37.
