The hospital wanted payment for surgery totally $41,188. Ryan had never set foot in that hospital. Obviously there was some mistake. “I thought it was a joke,”says Ryan.But when he called the billing agency, nobody laughed. Someone, whos also named Joe Ryan, using Ryans Social Security number, had indeed been admitted for surgery. 22He figured clearing this up would take a just few phone calls.Two years later, Ryan continued to suffer from the damage to his credit rating and still doesnt know if his medical record has been cleared of wrong information.Joe Ryan was the victim of a little-known but frightening type of consumer cheating that is 23on the rise:medical identity theft, which involves using your name to get drugs, expensive medical treatment and even cheating insurance payments.24As Ryan discovered, money isnt the half of it. When someone steals your name to receive health care, his medical history becomes part of your record-and setting the record straight can be extremely difficult. Thats because, in part, the information is handed out among dozens of caregivers, from doctors to medicine stores to insurance companies and labs.“I wanted to help straighten this out,”says Ryan , “so I went to the hospital, and they had a three-inch-thick record for me, but they wouldnt let me see it. I showed them my ID, and they said thats not Joe Ryans signature. Well, of course not ! They had this other guys signature.”Ryan had fallen into a victims Catch-22: 24If your record doesnt appear to be yours, you may not have the right to read it, much less change it.Ryans next step was a visit to the police department. But the police said that there was not much they could do, that the local law enforcement has little experience with 25medical ID theft, and cases like this can end up being considered a civil matter.21.The billing agency sent Joe Ryan a notice to .A. play a joke on him for medical treatmentB. inform him of the payment for his surgeryC. clear up the wrong infromation in his medical recordD. correct the mistake about payment for his surgery.解析：首先找到billing agency+人名的地方，答案就在旁边，选B。22.Joe Ryan initially thought his problem was .A. easy to settle B. difficult to settle C. impossible to solve D. unnecessary to solve解析：关键是这个initially，它表达的是“最初”，也就是“他认为最初这个问题应该是”。文章的第二段说明了答案。选A。23、The number of the medical identity theft cases is .A. increasing B. decreasing C. countable D. changeable解析：找到medical identity theft在哪里？旁边的on the rise就是答案。选A。24、An even worse consequence of medical ID theft is .A. some trouble in obtaining insurance paymentsB. a big loss of money and damage to credit ratingC.the widely spread medical information of the victimD. the difficulty in changing the wrong medical history.解析：随着第3题往下段阅读，A和B被排除了，倒数第二段也说明了答案所在。选D。25、It can be known that the medical ID theft is .A. a civil matter B. a medical case C. a political issue D. a domestic event解析：最后一题肯定在最后一段，同时找到medical ID theft出处，旁边就是答案，A。Passage Two26Rob Reiner, co-founder of Castle Rock Entertainment, was greatly surprised when he saw his studios film Proof of Life. “Wow, why is Meg Ryan smoking up a storm? ” Reiner says,. ”It didnt add to to the plot.” Fourteen months later, Castle Rock has a policy of discouraging tobacco use. Any actor, director or screenwriter who wants to depict 28it must first meet with Reiner. “They have to make a really good case,” he says. “Movies are basically advertising cigarettes to kids.”Movie characters light up more often than people do in real life, argues 27Stanton Glantz, a professor of medicine who has launched a “Smoke-Free Movies” newspaper ad campaign. His study found that on average the 20 top-grossing films featured 50% more instances of smoking an hour in 2000 than in 1960. And an American Lung Association survey discovered that 61% of the tobacco use in films last year occurred in movies rated G, PG and PG-13. With teen smoking up dramatically in the past decade, a movement is building to hold Hollywood accountable. So Glantz says, “The entertainment industry is in denial.”But its getting an education. Susan Moses, deputy director of Harvards Center for Health Communication, and Lindsay Doran, former head of United Artists, have been going from one studio to another. They hit the bosses with hard facts: a million teens a year become daily smokers, and a third of those will eventually die from tobacco-related illness. When Doran and Moses met with 29executives from Imagine Pictures, says Doran, “They said, Smoking is not in any of our scripts. But then they called the next day and said, We looked, and its everywhere.” Karen Kehela, co-chairman of Imagine, recalls trying to take smoking out of one script after the meeting, “but the actor insisted on smoking,” she says. In fact, many movie stars cant leave their cigarettes in the dressing room. “Actors who smoke look for any reason to integrate it into their characters,” Reiner says. 30“You have directors who dont care about the social implications or are yielding to the actors.”26. Reiner was astonished at the film Proof of Life made in his studio because _.A. one of the characters smoked a lotB. smoking added something to the plotC. smoking in the film resulted in a stormD. tobacco use was prohibited from films解析：找到Reiner+斜体字出现的地方，答案就是那句话。选A。27. Glantz found that the number of smoking scenes in hit movies were _ highter than 40 years ago.A. 20% B.50% C. 61% D.80%解析：找到姓名+40年出处，答案很明显，选B。28. The word “it” in Line 4, Para, 1 refers to _.A. film B. plot C. smoking D. advertising解析：肯定it说明的是前句的内容，选C。29. Executives from Imagine Pictures _.A. failed to tell actors about the seriousness of tobacco useB. should have informed actors of the bad effects of smokingC. didnt admit the existence of tobacco use scnes in their filmsD. didnt know there were smoking scenes in their movies at first解析：找到Executives from，答案就在旁边，30.

Every time I suggested we meet in person, he would come up with an excuse. I thought it was strange-but he told me that he had not gotten over the death of his wife and he was still grieving for her.I thouht that he needed a friend and decided that I could be that friend. We sent cards, exchanged gifts, talked on the phone and I was sure that we would meet someday. I had spoken with his children so I was sure that what he told me was true. I could not wait for the day when we would meet. I was so looking forward to being able to reach out and touch him. To hug him, to hold him and feel his big strong arms around me.After almost two years of time, thousands of dollars on long distance phone calls, I was very frustrated at the endless stream of excuses as to why we could never seem to make a time to meet. Finally, I contacted the website 32WhoisH and asked if they could check out the man who had taken up so much of my heart, my energy and my life. I had enough information about him and felt that if I could confirm what he had been telling me I could feel okay about these delays. I had hopes that I didnt want to dash if he was telling the truth. I believed I could wait a little while longer.Well, I am glad that I decided to have him checked out-he was nothing he claimed to be. He was first and foremost a married man. He was not a man grieving fo the loss of his wife. He was a man cheating on his wife, with meand 31I found out later, with countless others on the “net”. He did not care that he had hurt me in a very deep and pathetic way. He talked of spending his life together with me. He told my son that he wanted to make me happy. Basically, he just lied. He was such a good liar. I did not see it coming. It was as if he had been able to worm his way into my heartand he didnt care about the effect he had on my hopes and dreams.35Each of us should look at the signs that are so clear if we are willing to see them. Do not let someone keep making excuse after excuse. If something feels wronglikely it is. It is good to know the truth and be able to deal with it. Next time I will pay more attention. I may never be able to trust someone online again.31.It can be inferred from Para. 4 that _.A. the man was a single person in realityB.the woman was he mans only girlfriendC.the man had too many girlfriends on the netD.the woman had countless online boyfriends解析：第四段开始作者就查出了真实情况，选C。32.The job of WhoisH is to _.A.help people find true loveB.write single mens biographiesC.verify the truth of friends wordsD.ofter information about single men解析：找到关键词，阅读本句应该可以理解答案出处，选D。33.It can be concluded
