Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. Fro each question, there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should chose the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 33 to 37 are based on the following passage:In the past, operations were difficult. Until the middle of the eighteen fifties, surgery was very dangerous. Many patients died after even the smallest operations. This was because bacteria entered the cuts in the patients bodied and started infection. In some countries, up to 90 percent of patients died from infection after operations. In 1865, however, Joseph Lister, a British surgeon, found an answer to the problem. He used an “antiseptic” during and after operations. This killed the dangerous bacteria and most of his patients lived. Since then, surgeons have used antiseptics in all operations. Surgery has developed in many important ways since the day of Joseph Lister. Today, when patients go to hospital for an operation, they can expect the best treatment, in clean and hygienic conditions. 33. Operations were difficult and dangerous until_.A.1850B. the middle of 1850C. the middle of the fifties of the eighteenth centuryD. the middle of the fifties of the nineteenth century 34. In the passage, surgery means_.A. The performing of an operation B. cureC. treatment D. medicine 35. In the past, up to 90 percent of patients died after operations mainly because_.A. bacteria entered the cuts in the patients bodies and infection took placeB. the conditions in hospitals were badC. the skill of surgeons was not so goodD. there were no good medicine at that time 36. Which topic of the following best suits the passage?A. Operations were difficult in the pastB. The devotion of Joseph Lister to medical scienceC. Surgery has become saferD.

Joseph Lister was_.A. a Frenchman B. a German C. an Englishman D. an American Passage 2Questions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage:Some 4000 Americans ambitions to become physicians are studying for their M. D. s abroad. Many were rejected by U.S. medical schools simply because there was no room. Last year, for example, some 13,000 of 35,000 would-be physicians who applied to U.S. schools were accepted. Of those who were turned down, well over 600 are trying the foreign route. But gaining admittance to a good foreign school may be a problem. British medical schools give priority to Britons , and Canadas world-renowned McGill University School of Medicine takes only a handful of well qualified Americans annually. But several schools do welcome U.S. medical students-if they can master the local language. More than 500 Americans are enrolled in the Belgian universities at Brussels and Louvain , for example. Some 800 attend the Italian University at Bologna; 175 at Rome. Mexicos Autonomous University of Guadalajara numbers 1,300 gringos among its 4,000 students. Despite difficulties abroad, many Americans complete their medical educations, and manage to win the respect of their professors and classmates. One second-year student at Louvain has a simple explanation for those successes: “ Anyone who comes here to be motivated. You have to learn a new language, the school is constant hard work, and its difficult to get back into the States to practice”. Before they can intern or practice in the United States, graduates of foreign schools must pass a special examination required by medical-education authorities. The tough test is designed primarily to weed out those who are unable to speak English or whose medical education is not up to U.S. standards. 38. Which of the following is true about U.S. would-be physicians?A. America medical schools have superfluous applicants B. language is a big problem all the American students applying to foreign medical schools have to face. C. Graduates from both American and foreign medical schools should take the same test before practice D. As many as one-third of last years applicants of medical schools are now applying to foreign schools 39. Which is following is true about foreign medical education ?A. A lot of foreign medical schools do not welcome U.S. students simply because they have to consider the applicants form their own countries first. B. To enter foreign medical schools is much easier than to gain admittance into American medical schools if the problem of language is not regarded. C. There are not many good foreign medical schools according to American students D. There are so many difficulties in studying abroad that not many American students become successful in foreign medical schools 40. Which of the following is one of the difficulties the American students at foreign, medical schools have to face. A. Living and medical conditions in foreign countries are not so good as those in America. B. There is racial discrimination against them. C. They are given no opportunities to practice at local places. D. They are treated the same as foreign physicians and medical school graduates when trying to go back to America to practice. 41. What does the word “gringos” mean? A. Americans. B. Foreigners C. Americans in Mexico D. Mexicans 42. Which of the following can be the title of this passage? A. Foreign Medical Schools. B. Life at Foreign Medical Schools C. The tough Foreign RouteD. American Would-be Physicians at Foreign Schools. Passage 3Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage :Summers with father were always enjoyable. Swimming , hiking , boating , fishingthe days were not long enough to contain all of our activities. There never seemed to be enough time to go to church, which disturbed some friends and relations. Accused of neglecting this part of our education, my father instituted a summer school for my brother and me . However, his summer course included ancient history, which Papa felt our schools neglected ,and navigation, in which we first had a formal examination in the dining room, part of which consisted of tying several knots in a given time limit. Then we were each separately sent on what was grandly referred to as a cruise in my fathers 18-foot knockabout, spending the night on board, and loaded down, according to my mother, with enough food for a week. I remember that on my cruise I was required to formally plot our course, using the tide table, even though our goal was an island I could see quite clearly across the water in the distance. 43. What was the original reasons for holding the summer school?A. Friends and relatives thought the children should learn religion B The father wanted the children to learn more about religion C. The children got poor grades in their regular school D. The regular school teachers neglected the children 44 The purpose of the cruise mentioned in the passage was to _.A. have fun B. reward the author for completing summer school C. test the authors sailing ability D. get to the island 45. Why did the author have to plot the course of her cruise ?A. She had to demonstrate her ability to do so. B. The coast was dangerous.C She was afraid of getting lost. D. The tides were strong46. How long did the authors cruise last?A. all summer B. overnight C. a week D. one day, morning till night 47 Apparently a knockabout is _.A. an island B a boat C a cruise D a seamans knot Passage 4Questions 48 to 52 are based on the following passage: The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has , at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon . Different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945 , government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue. 48. What is the main topic of the passage?A. Food and our health B Food and additives C. Food and cancer D Food and culture 49 All of the following statements are true EXCEPT_.A Forty percent of cancer is caused by problems related to food. B Researchers have known about the potential danger of food additives for many years C. We eat some of the food additives directly and some indirectly D Drugs are always given to animals for medicinal purposes 50. Why do farmers give drugs to their animals?A. to speed up the growth of animals B To make the animals fatter C to make the animals meat fit to eat D To make the animals meat rich in nutrients 51. It can be inferred from the passage that_.A scientist have made all the food fit to eat B only in recent years have people found that the food is related to ones illness C all kinds of cancer are related to the diet D some additives are harmful to our health 52. The word “ this” in the second sentence of paragraph 2 most probably refers to _.A farmer B penicillin C beef and poultry D the fact that farmers often give penicillin to a beefPart IV: Translation from English into Chinese (10%) Directions: In this part, there are four items which you should translate into Chinese, each item consisting of one sentence.
