Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.By the Treaty of Paris of 1763, which ended the war with the French and the Indians,England gained possession of Canada and all the territory east of the MississippiRiver. French influence on this continent thus came to an end; England nowcontrolled most of North America. But the war had been long and expensive. Englandhad many debts. George III, king of England, after consulting with his advisers,decided that the American colonists(殖民者)should help pay some of the expensesof this war. A standing English army of 10,000 men had been left in the colonies(殖民地)for protection against the Indians. The English government also felt thatthe colonists should share in the expenses of maintaining this army. The resultwas a series of measures, the Grenville Program, passed by Parliament and designedto raise money in the colonies. Some of these measures were accepted by thecolonists, but one in particular, the Stamp Act, was met with great protest. TheStamp Act required that stamps, ranging in price from a few cents to almost adollar, be placed on all newspapers, advertisements, bills of sale, wills, legalpapers, etc. The Stamp Act was one of the causes of the American Revolution. Itaffected everyone, rich and poor alike. Some businessmen felt that the act wouldsurely ruin their businesses.Of all the voices raised in protest to the Stamp Act, none had greater effectthan that of a young lawyer from Virginia -Patrick Henry. Henry had only recentlybeen elected to the Virginia Assembly. Yet when the Stamp Act came up fordiscussion, he opposed it almost single-handedly. He also expressed, for the firsttime, certain ideas that were held by many Americans of the time but that never════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════享受网络享受学习中国远程教育领航者本套试题共分9页，当前页是第4页-before had been stated so openly.

Later on, they are given picture books that may be cubical(立方形的)or triangular, outsized or very small.

Disease and injury make us suffer throughout our lives until,finally, some attack on the body brings our existence to an end. Fortunately,most of us in modern industrialized societies can take relatively good healthfor granted most of the time. In fact, we tend to fully realize the importanceof good health only when we or those close to us become seriously ill. At suchtimes we keenly appreciate the ancient truth that health is our most preciousasset, one for which we might readily give up such rewards as power, wealth, orfame(荣誉).Because ill health is universal problem, affecting both the individual and society,the human response to sickness is always socially organized. No society leavesthe responsibility for maintaining health and treating ill health entirely tothe individual. Each society develops its own concepts of health and sicknessand authorizes certain people to decide who is sick and how the sick should betreated. Around this focus there arises, over time, a number of standards, values,groups, statuses, and roles: in other words, an institution(体系；机构).To thesociologist(社会学家), then, medicine is the institution concerned with themaintenance of health and treatment of disease.In the simplest pre-industrial societies, medicine is usually an aspect ofreligion. The social arrangements for dealing with sickness are very elementary,often involving only two roles: the sick and the healer(治疗者).The latter istypically also the priest(牧师), who relies primarily on religious ceremonies,both to identify and to treat disease: for example, bones may be thrown toestablish a cause, songs may be used to bring about a cure. In modernindustrialized societies, on the other hand, the institution has become highlycomplicated and specialized, including dozens of roles such as those of brainsurgeon, druggist, hospital administrator, linked with various organizationssuch as nursing homes, insurance companies, and medical schools. Medicine, infact, has become the subject of intense sociological interest precisely becauseit is now one of the most pervasive and costly institutions of modern society.31.Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 1?A、Nowadays most people believe they can have fairly good health.B、Human life involves a great deal of pain and suffering.C、Most of us are aware of the full value of health.D、Ancient people believed that health was more expensive than anything else.第二部分(非选择题，共50 分)IV.
