The Doctor in America
Self-employed private physicians
who charge a fee for each patient visit have been the norm
for American medical practice. Most physicians have a contract
relationship with one or more hospitals in their community.
They refer their patients as needed to the hospital, which
usually charges according to the number of days a patient
stays and the facilities - X-rays, operating rooms, tests
-he or she uses.
Some medical doctors are on
salary. Salaried physicians may work as hospital staff members,
or residents, who are often still in training. They may
teach in medical schools, be hired by corporations to care
for their workers or work for the federal government's Public
Health Service.
Physicians are among the best-paid
professionals in the United States. In the 1980s, it was
not uncommon for medical doctors to, earn incomes of more
than $100,000 a year. Specialists, particularly surgeons,
might earn several times that amount. Physicians list many
reasons why they deserve to be so well rewarded for their
work. One reason is the long and expensive preparation required
to become a physician in the United States. Most would-be
physicians first attend college for four years, which can
cost nearly $20,000 a year at one of the best private institutions.
Prospective physicians then attend medical school for four
years. Tuition alone can exceed $10,000 a year. By the time
they have obtained their medical degrees, many young physicians
are deeply in debt. They still face three to five years
of residency （住院医生实习期）in a hospital, the first year as an
apprentice physician. The hours are long and the pay is
relatively low.
Setting up a medical practice
is expensive, too. Sometimes several physicians will decide
to establish a group practice, so they can share the expense
of maintaining an office and buying equipment. These physicians
also take care of each other's patients in emergencies.
Physicians work long hours and
must accept a great deal of responsibility. Many
medical procedures, even quite routine ones, involve
risk. It is understandable that
physicians want to be well rewarded for making decisions
which can mean the difference between life and death.

Breaking the News about Your Diagnosis
1 When I was diagnosed with breast cancer
nearly a year ago, I found myself at a loss for words at
first. Over time, however, I developed some pointers (点子),
which I hope will
help others.
2 During the first few weeks of emotional
"aftershocks" (余悸) from the diagnosis, I found myself unable
to utter the word "cancer". Still, I wanted to share the
news with my relatives and friends who already knew that
I'd had a biopsy (活检) and were anxiously awaiting my telephone
call. I did the best I could, which is all anyone can do
in this situation. When I called them, I said, "What we
feared has happened." They immediately knew what I meant.
3 Nearly a year after my diagnosis, I find
myself more comfortable telling people "1 was diagnosed
with cancer" instead of saying '"1 have cancer." On some
deep level, I don't want to "own" this illness. Choose language
that suits you when you share your news. And keep in mind
that there is no one "right" way of doing this.
4 Most people, after hearing your announcement,
will be curious about the next step.
They may wonder if you will be undergoing radiation therapy
and/or chemotherapy (化疗).They may wonder where and when
you will have surgery. Answer their questions as best you
can, but keep in mind that "1 don't know right now" or "I'm
still in too much shock to think about that" are good answers.
5 Wait until the initial wave of strong
emotions has passed before telling the children in your
life. Don't overwhelm (使不知所措) very young children with too
much information. Assure them that, even if you will be
in the hospital for a while, they will see you every day
and they will be cared for. Older children may already fear
the word "cancer", so be prepared to reassure them. Emphasize
the positive steps that doctors will be taking to treat
your illness.
23 Paragraph 2
24 Paragraph 3
25 Paragraph 4
26 Paragraph 5
A Break the news as calmly as possible to children
B Break the news at your own pace
C Share the good news with your friends
D Choose language that suits you
E Follow your doctor's advice
F Be prepared for people's curiosity
27 You can break the news about your diagnosis without
saying .
28 When breaking the news about your diagnosis, you can
have .
29 After hearing about your diagnosis, people will ask
questions .
30 Very young children won't feel comfortable .
A your own choice of words
B the word "cancer"
C the positive steps
D about the next step
E on too many answers
F with too much information
第4部分：阅读理解（第31～45题，每题3分，共45分）
下面有3篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题定1个最佳选项。
第一篇
Is the Tie a Necessity?
Ties, or neckties, have been
a symbol of politeness and elegance in Britain for centuries.
But the casual Prime Minister Tony Blair has problems with
them. Reports suggest that even the civil servants may stop
wearing ties. So, are the famously formal British really
going to abandon the neckties?
Maybe. Last week, the UK's Cabinet
Secretary Andrew Turnbull openly welcomed a tieless era.
He hinted that civil servants would soon be tree of the
costliest 12 inches of fabric that most men ever buy in
their lives.
In fact, Blair showed this attitude
when he had his first guests to a cocktail party. Many of
them were celebrities （知名人士） without ties, which would have
been unimaginable even in the recent past.
For some more conservative British,
the tie is a must for proper appearance. Earlier, Labor
leader Jim Callaghan said he would have died rather than
have his children seen in public without a tie. For people
like Callaghan, the tile was a sign of being complete, of
showing respect. Men were supposed to wear a tie when going
to church, to work in the office, to a party - almost every
social occasion.
But today, people have begun
to accept a casual style even for formal occasions.
The origin of the tie is tricky.
It started as something called simply a "band". The term
could mean anything around a man's neck. It appeared in
finer ways in the 1630s. Frenchmen showed a love of this
particular fashion statement. Their neckwear （颈饰）impressed
Charles II, the king of England who was exiled（流放）to France
at that time. When he returned to England in 1660, he brought
this new fashion item along with him.
It wasn't, however, until the
late 18th century that fancy young men introduced a more
colorful, flowing piece of cloth that eventually became
known as the tie. Then, clubs military institutions and
schools began to use colored and patterned ties to indicate
the wearer's membership in the late 19th century. After
that, the tie became a necessary item of clothing for British
gentlemen.
But now, even gentlemen are
getting tired of ties. Anyway, the day feels a bit easier
when you wake up without having to decide which tie suits
you and your mood.
31 The tie symbolizes all of the following except
A respect
B elegance
C politeness
D democracy
32 Why does Blair sometimes show up in a formal event
without a tie?
A Because he wants to
make a show,
B Because he wants to
attract attention.
C Because ties are costly.
D Because he wants to live in a casual way.
33 Which of the following is NOT a social occasion?
A Going to church.
B Going to work in the
office.
C Staying at home.
D Going to a party.
34 Who brought the Frenchmen's neckwear to Britain?
A Tony Blair.
B Charles ll.
C Jim Callaghan.
D Andrew Turnbull.
35 When did British gentlemen begin to wear ties regularly?
A After the late 19th
century.
B In the 1630s.
C In 1660.
D In the late 18th century.
第二篇
Brain-dead Mother Dies after Giving Birth
A brain-dead woman who was kept
alive for three months so she could deliver the child she
was carrying was removed from life support on Wednesday
and died, a day after giving birth.
"This is obviously a bittersweet
time for our family," Justin Torres, the woman's brother-in-law,
said in a statement.
Susan Torres, a cancer-stricken,
26-year-old researcher at the National Institutes of Health,
suffered a stroke in May after the melanoma (黑瘤) spread
to her brain.
Her family decided to keep her
alive to give her foetus (胎儿) a chance. It became a race
between the foetus' development and the cancer that was
destroying the woman's body.
Doctors said that Torres' health
was getting worse and that the risk of harm to the foetus
finally outweighed the benefits of extending the pregnancy.
Torres gave birth to a daughter
by Caesarean section (剖腹产手术) on Tuesday at Virginia Hospital
Center. The baby was two months premature and weighed about
a kilogram. She was in the newborn intensive care unit.
Dr Donna Tilden-Archer, the
hospital's director of neonatology (新生儿学), described the
child as "very vigorous." She said the baby had responded
when she received stimulation, indicating she was healthy.
Doctors removed Torres from
life support early Wednesday with the consent of her husband,
Jason Tortes, after she received the final sacrament (圣礼)
of the Roman
Catholic Church.
"We thank all of those who prayed
and provided support for Susan, the baby and our family,"
Jason Torres said in a statement. "We especially thank God
for giving us little Susan. My wife's courage will never
be forgotten."
English-language medical literature
contains at least 11 cases since 1979 of
irreversibly brain-damaged women whose lives were prolonged
for the benefit of the
developing foetus, according to the University of Connecticut
Health Center.
Dr Christopher McManus, who coordinated care 1"or Susan
Torres, put the infant's chances of developing cancer at
less than 25 per cent. He said 19 women who have had the
same aggressive form of melanoma as Tortes have given birth,
and five of their babies became ill with the disease.
36 Susan Torres died soon after
A she suffered a stroke.
B she became brain-dead.
C she was diagnosed with cancer.
D she gave birth to a baby.
37 The pregnancy was stopped because
A the foetus was found seriously
ill.
B the risks outweighed the benefits.
C there was no hope to rescue
the foetus.
O the Tortes family couldn't afford the expenses any
more.
38 Which is NOT true of the baby?
A She was born of a dead mother.
B She was two months premature
C She weighed about a kilogram.
D She was healthy.
39 Susan Torres had been put on life support so
A she could live comfortably.
B she could see her baby.
C she could die without pain.
D she could deliver her baby.
40 The baby's chances of developing cancer were said
to be
A about 11 per cent
B around 19 per cent.
C less than 25 per cent.
D close to 5 per cent.
第三篇
Smart Exercise
Doctors are starting to
find more and more information that suggests a connection
between exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a
scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies
brain development. According to her research, it seems that
exercise can make blood vessels, including those in the
brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Cameron claims
this allows people who exercise to concentrate better. As
she says: "While we already know that exercise is good for
the heart, exercise can literally cause physical changes
in the brain."
The effects of exercise on brain
development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities
that require a lot of movement and physical activity show
greater brain development than babies who are less physically
active. With babies, even a little movement can show big
results. Margaret Barnes, a pediatrician (儿科医师), believes
in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning
disabilities that children have in elementary school or
high school can be traced back to a lack of movement as
babies. "Babies need movement that stimulates their five
senses. They need to establish a connection between motion
and memory. In this way, as they get older, children will
begin to associate physical activity with higher learning,"
says Margaret.
Older people can beef up their
brains as well. Cornell University studied a group of seniors
ranging in age from seventy to seventy-nine. Their study
showed a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent
after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does
not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase
the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for infants,
exercise for older people should involve some complexity.
Learning some new skills or motions helps to open up memory
paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long
time.
For most people, any type of physical activity that increases
the heart rate is helpful. The main goal is to increase
the brain's flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from
as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.
41 Research by Dr. Cameron seems to suggest that
exercise can
A generate new blood vessels.
B change the way a person thinks.
C promote brain development.
D divert one's attention.
42 Margaret Barnes thinks that a lack of movement in
infancy can
A lead to learning troubles
later.
B cause physical disabilities
later.
C stimulate the five senses.
D bring about changes in the brain.
43 The expression "beef up" in paragraph 3 means
A "control".
B "strengthen".
C "operate".
D "encourage".
44 To be beneficial, exercise for older people should
A be done in a group.
B be done on a daily basis.
C involve great difficulty.
D increase the heart rate.
45 The title of the passage implies that
A only smart people do exercise.
B exercise can be smart or stupid.
C exercise keeps the brain strong.
D it is fashionable to do exercise.

How Did She Conquer the Americans?
African-American talk show queen
Oprah Winfrey is the world's most powerful celebrity, according
to Forbes magazine. (46)
Winfrey, 51, draws 30 million viewers
weekly in the United States. Her talk show reaches 112 countries.
She earned US$225 million over the past 12 months to rank

be simple. She is in pursuit of self-improvement and self-empowerment
(自强). This has proved to be just what people, especially
women, want.
Winfrey often talks about her
personal secrets on her show. That pulls in viewers. For
example, she revealed that she had been sexually abused
as a child, and has spoken freely of her struggle with her
weight.
Winfrey was born to a poor family in Mississippi in 1954.
(49) At the woman to age of 19, she became
the youngest person and the first African-American anchor
(主持) a news programme.
Her success has not just been
on the screen. Her media group includes a women's TV network
and websites for women.
Winfrey's work has extended to social change. (50)
She testified before the US Senate to establish a national
database of dangerous child abusers. President Bill Clinton
later signed "Oprah Bill" into law.
A But it also looks at the celebrity's presence on the
Internet and in the media.
B In 1991, she did a lot of work for the National Child
Protection Act
C She was not a very successful woman.
D She began broadcasting while still at high school.
E It placed Winfrey at the top of its annual ranking
of the 100 people last week
F The couple had been tight-lipped about their break-up.

Study Confirms Red Meat Link with Bowed
(结肠) Cancer
People who eat more than 160
grams of red or processed meat a day are 35 percent more
likely to develop bowel cancer than those who ear less (51)
20 grams a day, according to one of the biggest nutrition
investigations ever carried out.
The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and
Nutrition followed 478,040 men and women (52)35
to 70 from 10 European countries.
All subjects were free of cancer at enrollment between
1992 and 1998, but (53) an average follow-up
of almost 5 years 1,329 bowel cancers had been reported.
The subsequent analysis, published
in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, confirms
the long-held suspicion
(54) high intakes(纳入量) of red meat are associated with
increased bowel
(55) risk.
After taking into consideration factors like age, sex,
height, weight, energy intake physical activity, smoking,
and alcohol consumption, the investigators found that bowel
cancer was

but not chicken.
Risk of bowel cancer dropped
with increasing intake of fish. Eating more than 80 grams
a day of fish was associated (57) a 31 percent
reduction in risk compared with eating less than 10 grams
a (58)
Subjects with high red meat
and low fish intake were at 63 percent higher' risk of bowel
cancer compared with subjects with low red meat and high
fish (59).
In addition, the risk of developing the disease was increased
for (60)
people who ate a low fibre diet.
Sheila Bingham, study investigator at the UK's Medical
Research Council nutrition unit, said: "People have suspected
for some time that high levels of red and processed meat
(61) risk of bowel cancer, but this is one of the largest
studies worldwide and the first from Europe of this type
to show a (62) relationship."
She added in a statement: 'q-he overall picture is very
consistent for red and
processed meat and fibre across all the
(63) populations studied."
Study coordinator, Elio Riboli, of the World Health Organisation
International Agency for Research into Cancer, said: "Other
risk factors for (64)
cancer include obesity (肥胖) and lack of physical activity.
Smoking and excess alcohol may also play a (65).
