题型:不详难度:来源:
The teaching hospital is one associated with a medical school. Teaching hospitals are large, with a range of from 300 to 200 beds. These hospitals always have interns(实习医师) and residents(住院医师) and additionally have medical students on the hospital wards. They have superb technical resources, and it is here that the most extraordinary events of medicine take place. Open-heart surgery, transplantation of kidneys, elaborate(精致的) nurseries for the newborn, support for management of rare blood diseases, and other wonderful achievements are all available here. Dozens of people may be concerned with the well-being of a particular patient. Important medical decisions are thoroughly discussed, presented at conferences, and reviewed by many personnel.
On the other hand, the quality of personal relationships at teaching hospitals is variable. Many patients feel that they are treated in an impersonal way, and that their laboratory tests receive more attention that their human and social problems. Since these institutions are on the frontier of medicine, there is a tendency to emphasize the new and elaborate procedures, when older and more modest ones might have served as well. With the inexperience of some members of the care team, there is a tendency to order more laboratory tests than what would have been ordered for the same condition in a private hospital. The sick patients are sometimes confused by having to relate to a large number of doctors and students. Medical educators are concerned with such criticisms and have to correct some of the problems. However, some excesses(超额) of technological medicine still occur in these institutions.
小题1:One of the advantages of a teaching hospital is that         .
A.its first-class personnel are a guarantee of excellent medical care
B.its first-class medical facilities and skills make medical breakthroughs possible
C.the interns, residents and medical students all offer satisfactory services
D.its laboratory staff provide high-class professional aids for the doctors
小题2:The passage implies that         .
A.private hospitals usually give personalized care of high quality
B.private hospitals have more experienced laboratory staff
C.teaching hospitals use patients as subjects for their experiments
D.teaching hospitals usually give patients improper treatment
小题3:Treatments of some difficult and complicated cases in teaching hospital are decided         .
A.by specialists in charge of the case
B.by doctors and students together
C.on some special and important occasions
D.through collective efforts and serious review
小题4: The problem that still bothers teaching hospitals frequently is         .
A.the inadequate patient care caused by irresponsible nurses.

A serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible for our elderly(老年人) and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.
First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.
Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.
In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions(养老金). Furthermore, some in-situation should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.
One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.
To sum up, all these options(选择)have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
A.The problems faced by the old in society.
B.Why we should take responsibility for the old.
C.How we can improve the lives of the old.
D.Where the old can go to get their pensions.
小题2:According to the passage, how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people?
A.Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.
B.Increase savings levels of people during their working years.
C.Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old.
D.Make available pensions for those who have retired.
小题3:The underlined word “viable” most probably means “__________”.
A.impossibleB.practicalC.usefulD.successful
小题4:What can be concluded from the passage?
A.Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money.
B.Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age.
C.Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people.
D.There is no single solution to the problems of the old.
小题5:What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this article?
A.To point out the need for government support for old people.
B.To make general readers aware of the problems of retired people.
C.To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem.
D.To instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life.

Too cold for recess?  School policies vary as much as temps
When is it too cold for schoolchildren to go outside for recess(课间休息)? The answer varies widely based on where a school is located and what the kids are used to.
Consider:  One northern Minnesota school says it has to be 15 below zero before kids are kept inside. But in areas along the East Coast, temperatures below 35 to 40 degrees could keep kids inside. Canceling recess because of the cold is no small issue considering that much of the USA is trembling through what may be its coldest winter in a generation, according to AccuWeather.
There is no national temperature standard for when to keep kids inside during the winter months, the U.S. Department of Education says. Decisions are made at the local level, either by principals or school districts.
Consequently, policies are all over the map:
• In International Falls, Minn., the self-described "Icebox of the Nation," where the average high temperature in January is 13 degrees, Falls Elementary School Principal Jerry Hilfer says, "if it"s 15 below (or warmer), they go out, no matter what." "At 20 below, it gets iffy," he adds.
• In Wicomico County, Md., principals typically keep children indoors when temperatures drop below freezing, or if it"s raining or snowing, says Susan Jones, the school system"s director of elementary education.
"That"s the bottom line," says Curtis Twilley, principal of Pemberton Elementary School in Salisbury, Md. Twilley says students get little exercise when recess stays indoors. At Pemberton Elementary, the students will typically play board games or computer games in a classroom because the school"s gym is occupied with other classes, he says.
• For schools in Marquette, Mich., which averages about 12 feet of snow per season, school officials acknowledge students are probably a little more prepared than those in some more mild climates.
小题1:Which of the following is not true according to the passage_________.
A.No national temperature standard is made for when to keep kids inside during the winter months.
B.Susan Jones insists students get little exercise when recess stays indoors.
C.In Wicomico County, children are kept indoors when temperatures dip below freezing.
D.Mich has about 12 feet of snow per season on average.
小题2: Which place calls itself Box of Ice?
Wicomico County  B. Marquette    C.Salisbury       D. Minn
小题3: Considering_______, canceling recess In USA because of the cold is a big issue.
A.different schools have different principles.
B.much of the USA has very cold winter.
C.physical activity can boost student performance.
D.decisions are made at the local level,
小题4: The underlined word iffy means _______.
A.uncertain B.surprisingC. seriousD.worse
小题5: What will be talked about next?
A.More school policies
B.The reasons why school policies vary.
C.Measures to improve the situation.
D.Necessities to improve the situation

Armed only with iPhones, the inventive rock band Atomic Tom has gone viral(广为流传) by way of the New York subway. The band has scored an Internet hit with the video to the song “Take Me Out.”
Singer Luke White says the production was a top-secret operation.
“We didn"t tell anyone about this. It was completely top-secret from our family, from our friends, from our label, our management, everybody. So the first time that people saw this video was last Friday when we put it on YouTube,” explained White.
Since uploading the video to YouTube, band members have spent several days refreshing the page to watch the number of hits rise.
The video has also made its way around Twitter as many people have shared it with their friends.
“I mean, it still hasn"t quite hit. It"s just kind of blowing our minds right now that we"re getting this: many people are fond of it, and they"re sharing it with their friends. We don"t know what it"s like really to have something that"s viral, so all of this is very new to us.” said Eric Espiritu, the lead guitarist of the band.
White explains how the video came together:
“We did our research with the applications( 应用程序) and found applications that worked out really well with the instruments and then we plugged them all into, plugged our phones into mini-battery powered amplifiers(扩音器) that we put underneath our seats, and we did a lot of, you know, practices, in terms of figuring out what the balance of the sound and like who was overpowering, who was too loud or who was too soft.”
The idea for the video came from Espiritu"s younger brother Benjamin. The younger Espiritu directed the video from his initial concept through the final edit and upload to the Internet. 
“I"ve seen a lot of the music applications come out, and I"ve never actually had the chance to play with them," says Ben Espiritu. "When I started hearing about how they sound and everything, I thought it might be unique to take it one step further and then create an entire band just performing solely(单曲) on the iPhones, and I thought it would be a pretty cool idea.”
Ben says the success of the band’s music video is a credit to the talent and ability of the musicians, but it"s also a sign of the times.
“It really comes down to seeing something different, seeing something unique, and I think that that"s always, in any type of art form, what will speak to people, and I think it does reflect the times that we live in, taking a smart phone and then being able to turn it into an instrument, not only just an instrument, but making it sound really good.”
小题1: Who first saw the video of the song “Take Me Out”?
A.Their friends B.The people on line
C.Their familyD.Their management
小题2: What is the band members’ attitude towards the sudden fame?
A.They are thrilled.
B.They are quite used to it.
C.They are kind of confused.
D.They are so excited as to tell everyone they know.
小题3: How did the video come into being?
A.The band copied from it other musicians.
B.It had already existed in the iPhones before they bought them.
C.The band created it with the help of the applications in the iPhones.
D.The band made full use of the traditional instruments to make the song.
小题4: What is the significance of the success of the band"s music video?
A.It has introduced us several talented musicians.
B.It has made the musicians into millionaires.
C.It teaches the young a big lesson.
D.It reflects the talent and ability of the musicians and the times that we live in.

Americans this year will swallow 15,000 tons of aspirin, one of the safest and most effective drugs invented by man. The most popular medicine in the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild and it is cheap.
For millions of people suffering from arthritis(关节炎), it is the only thing that works. Aspirin, in short, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. It is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, although relatively mild, are largely unrecognized among users.
Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates(水杨酸碱), the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century, there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 1915, aspirin tablets were available in the United States.
A small quantity of aspirin (two five-grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation(炎症). It also reduces fever by interfering with some of the body’s reactions.
小题1:The passage is written to          .
A.suggests us using more aspirinB.reminds us of the side effects of aspirin
