Reading Comprehension (30%)Passage 1Science and technology are productive forces. The scientific and technological revolution has played a very important role in the high-speed development of the economies of western countries including the United States since the war.Right before the end of the Second World War, the U.S. achieved prominent breakthroughs in the three fields of atomic energy, electronic computers and space navigation. These three great inventions, together with other inventions in military scope, were applied to civil industries in the postwar period, which has led to the third great scientific and technological revolution in mans history. It was originated（起源于）from the U.S. and it benefited the U.S. most.The first computer came into being in 1945 and in the same year, the first atomic bomb was tested. Soon after the first man-made earth satellite of the Soviet Union was sent into the sky in 1957, the U.S. launched her earth satellite into the orbit. Then the U.S. started an unprecedented（前所未有的）Apollo program, with the aim of sending man to the moon within a decade. The project was successfully carried out and in 1969, for the first time in mans history, two human beings landed on the moon. It was the most remarkable triumph（成就）in the twentieth century.Science has been greatly responsible for the rise on big business, as it has given industry certain technological advances, such as assembly-line production, automation.

Every person is registered with a doctor in his or her local area, known as a general practitioner（全科医生）or GP. This means that their names are on the GPs list, and they may make an appointment to see the doctor or may call the doctor out to visit them if they are ill. People sometimes do have to pay part of the cost of drugs that the doctor prescribes. GPs are trained in general medicine but are not specialists in any particular subject. If a patient needs to see a specialist doctor, they must first go to their GP and then the GP will make an appointment for the patient to see a specialist at a hospital or clinic.Although everyone in Britain can have free treatment under the NHS, it is also possible for him to have treatment done privately, for which he has to pay. Some people have private health insurance to help them pay for private treatment.
